I tend to be a bit more generous than some people with my ratings. My lowest rated machine is The Sopranos with a 6.33. Even though I really dislike that machine, I can still appreciate certain aspects of it, and those positive aspects are reflected in my overall score. I think a lot of people are too quick to give a machine low marks in every category simply because they aren't a fan of the machine. Conversely, there are some people who rate a machine excellent in every category without even really giving it much thought. This kind of annoys me. In my eyes, there is no such thing as a "perfect 10" machine, but to each their own.

Propaganda,

Are you on a mission to make everyone hate you?

You could have fooled me.

I just looked up my first post to you to see what I said. Here is my exact quote:

Welcome to Pinside, Prop! If you're only going to have two games in your collection, they don't come much better than those.

How on Earth could that be interpreted as a "diss"?

It was a compliment.
