The Video Game Critic

[QUOTE=LoganRuckman]Sorry I keep asking questions, but where did you get the name 80 Points?

Hey, I should let you know, don't get discouraged if your blog doesn't get popular over night. I mean, my site only got six views in the first year. Hell, at the end of 2012, it didn't even have 500 hits. It now has over 85,000. Believe me, if you stay dedicated to making a great site, people will eventually start noticing.

I wouldn't worry about it just yet since your blog is in its infancy, but as it gets bigger and you write more for it, try to develop a social media presence for it. Definitely get a Twitter, and also a Facebook.[/QUOTE]

I got "80 points" from this really dumb quotation of the main character of the English version of Star Ocean the Second Story. After battle, the characters will, in Tales fashion, exclaim a signature slogan out of relief or excitement in having won the battle. Claude, the protagonist, will sometimes say "Well, that's somewhere around eighty points!" It's a really great example of an egg headed localization. Like, why would the character in the game be referencing the fact that he's gained experience points? It unintentionally breaks the fourth wall.

I don't really mind if the blog doesn't get any hits. I guess it's more of a personal outlet than anything else. If someone finds something of value there, good for them.

To answer your first question, I think I would like to review some more games but who knows where I will find inspiration .

Well, that's great that you're doing it because it's something you have passion for, and not because you want to be popular. If you don't have passion for writing, then you shouldn't write.
