~NOTES ON MY RATINGS ~

(TLDR a 1.5 is a positive recommendation)

i love all video games. often it can feel like obsession, or an addiction.. and yet they always maintain a sort of absolute, creative proactivity in my life. the utility of this pastime can encompass seemingly endless streams of inspiration and even catharsis.

my scores are for personal enjoyment! i don't plan on retroactively scoring anything before the creation of this account (2023), but i do plan on replaying games. at this point in my life, i feel as though i've amalgamated a strong sense of curation-- as more games are rated, i plan on adjusting previous "scores" and refining what these parameters mean to me.

because of the aforementioned curation aspect, i don't plan on scoring something that doesn't pique interest in some capacity. the lower ratings still maintain a lot of value here! i will shape it as it comes. ideally, a 1.0 score would eventually serve some kind of specific recommendation.

In 1996, I was six years old and lived in Florida. Wario Land had been released two years prior-- though I loved Super Mario Land 2 and replayed it regularly on my og/fat Game Boy.. I had no idea this game existed. On a particular weekend, I stayed over at my great grandmother's apartment.

I played MANY games in front of them while they sat in a rocking chair. She always encouraged me and my interest in games. Her favorite thing was seeing Crash Bandicoot die in a myriad of ways-- took pure pleasure in it. A very kind and cool person.

My family has always been deeply religious, unfortunately it came with a severe demonizing of secular media. This was bad for me, to say the least. Despite this, my great grandma would do things like rent Splatterhouse 2 for me. We even had lookout schemes where I would quickly switch to a "friendly" game when she saw another family member arrive to pick me up, or etc.

On this aforementioned weekend in 1996, my great grandmother took me to a Sunday service at a very old-fashioned, musty, southern baptist church. She handed me 5$ and instructed me to tithe it when the donation plate was passed around. I did. After the service, she told me "I'm very proud of you"-- and then took me to Toys "R" Us to pick out a NEW game that I could OWN (rare for me). She was the one that pointed out Wario Land. I vividly remember falling in love with the color scheming on the front cover. I was blown away with this game.

The moral of the story is that money is my god now, and I am now a slime ball rat fuck.

Just kidding. Everything that Wario in is so good. They are often a beautiful design and mechanical antithesis to Nintendo games. I loved my Great Grandmother very much, she never judged me or the things that I liked superficially. Unfortunately I do not still have that copy of Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.. but her funeral service pamphlet has made its way into various video game collage designs that I've made for my creative outlets (bands, social media design, youtube, etc). Wario rules. Love you, Nanny.
