Host: (noun) a person who receives or entertains other people as guests.
Anomalous: (adjective) deviating from what is standard, normal, or expected.

Welcome to the Anomalous Host blog.  Here I discuss topics in entertainment and information, mainly in regards to film, video games, board games, and occasionally news/politics.  Bluntly.  With no fear of using foul politically incorrect language.

I do reviews for films, video games, and board games (though board game reviews will be rare from me as I usually don’t end up playing those games enough times to where I consider myself experienced enough to make a fair review).

My rating system, on a scale from 0.5-5 (in other words, a scale of 1-10 for wise-asses):

• 0.5: Unbearable torture.
• 1.0: One of the worst pieces of shit ever created.
• 1.5: Contains less than the minimum required to be decent.
• 2.0: Forgettable.
• 2.5: May have a decent moment or two, but is otherwise average.
• 3.0: Solid, would revisit every once in a long while.
• 3.5: Entertaining; what I usually expect.  Might be worth getting.
• 4.0: Worth owning.
• 4.5: Just shy of a masterpiece.
• 5.0: Masterpiece.  If it was a movie, I could watch it twice in a row and be just as entertained the second time as the first (maybe more-so).

Every once in a while I’ll give my opinion on something outside of those categories, whether it be a book, a response to another blogger (a video blogger or a written blog), or some news story or article.  Usually when I go out of my way to do that, it’s because the blogger or news/political story did something that infuriated me (ie pissed me right the fuck off).

Feel free to donate so that I have more incentive to continue on with this site, and also if you want some influence on getting me to review something.
