I heard good things about the battle system but there's so much more out there you can be spending your time/money on
I always do 2 of the letters in my last name- "F as in Frank" and "Z as in Zebra". Sometimes they miss the K and I have to come up with something in the spot, usually something dumb line "K as in Killer"

lol. my friend reviewed it, gave it a 1/10, and somewhat perversely that made me kind of want to play it. I picked up a copy for like $2 somewhere and never got around to it.
she haaaaaaaaaaated that game.
Isn't a 1/10 supposed to be reserved for games that like literally don't work? As in game-breaking bugs up the ying yang? LOL
I didnt recognize too many of them
Obviously Yuri Lowenthal, Takahata101, and Patrick Seitz, but the others I cant confirm. I recognize a few female ones, I think Laura Bailey is there? Ive heard people say one of the male voices is JYB, I couldnt confirm though...
game journalism secret: all scores below 5 on a 1-10 scale are largely interchangable variations on "for the love of god don't buy this game"
The second(??) female voice is Luci Christian (Nami from OP). One female voice is Launch's VA. Definately no JYB in there. I also feel like one of the male voices is a different dub Goku voice actor..

5 should be average; I never understood why it was so bad. It's right in the middle.
That's why I prefer "# out of 5" scores. 1 is "Oh god don't play/watch/buy this", 2 is "Bad, but has a few redeeming qualities", 3 is "Good, but not great/average", 4 is "Great, just a few things holding it back", & 5 is "Little to no flaws, this game is awesome." It's more straight to the point & easier to understand.
It gets even more annoying when they do stuff like decimal scores (#.5 or freakin' .7 or .25 like IGN & Game Informer. Like how do you determine "HMMMM, I think I'll give this a 8.3, but a 8.4 is just too much"? Just round it to a damn 8).

It follows a traditional grading scale more than a balanced rating scale. It most cases, anything below a 6 (or 60) is failing grade for the reviewer and shouldn't be played. It think this is one of the reasons why I like when either a reviewer or site uses either a letter scale (A-F) or gives no score whatsoever.
Pretty much, though 1s seem to be reserved for either absolute seething hate or a buggy, broken game.

Does IGN still do the decimal thing?
That The War Z or whatever game last year actually got a 0 in the mag I was working on a few years back
It's because most people associate it with the first and most important scoring system they come across in their lives: school grades.
9.0/90+ = A (yay, you did great!)
8.0/80 - 8.9/89 = B (hey, you did pretty good, generally speaking)
7.0/70 - 7.9/79 = C (eh, you didn't really do great, but you still got plenty more right than wrong, I guess)
6.5/65 - 6.9/69 = D (man, this is like the barest of the bare minimum to be considered even vaguely acceptable)
<6.5/65 = F (you really fucked this one up)
Of course there's some variation on these exact numbers regionally, but ballpark-wise this is about it. Once you cross the failure threshold, the scores don't really serve a purpose anymore other than to tell you just how comedically you fucked up. There's pretty much no breaking people's immediate association with this kind of system. You'll never be able to convince the general public as a whole that 5 out of 10 is "average" when it comes to a grading system because they've been conditioned from a very early age that that's not true.

ABOUT. DAMN. TIME.
Granted, I only JUST found out a few months ago sub accounts could get PS+ via vendor cards, but this is still great to hear when I need to add funds.

So I jumped in with Sling TV because of their Roku deal.
It works pretty well so far.

i kinda deal with delay using the AS stream already so that's not too big of a deal

Agreed, for live sports and toonami the closer you can be to real time the better and those are the two reasons we keep cable at my home
I'm riding the fence on this. Oni is right about the people watching the AS app are already delayed by probably the same amount. And while I prefer to be as real-time as possible, I'm not sure if it's worth an additional $20+ a month I pay for cable TV. We'll see.

The AS stream delay last time I tested it was only like 5-10 seconds which is fairly insignificant. Even live posting odds are by the time the thread refreshes or you type out your thought you've seen the thing everyone is posting their current reactions about. 1 minute means you basically can't read the thread or things will be spoiled for you fairly consistently and reactions won't match what you're currently viewing.
Not a big deal if you are like me and going to Cali for a week and will be behind 3 hours usually.

Being behind a minute is pretty bad for when you're group-watching must-see episode moments.

Me, please. Missed out when it was originally available since I went with the Mario hat.

PSTV bundle is going on sale for $50 tomorrow so it looks like I'll be playing a Persona game for the first time.

Meh, I can just use the AS stream for Toonami if I need to.
It was either this or $30 more for cable that I wouldn't watch much of.
