This was a very exciting month for the blog! With a new review leaping to become the second most hit review yet (though I'm always sad to see my Star Trek: Machinations Of Doomsday review fall!) and one from last month very steadily working its way into the Top Ten Reviews of all time, September was a hugely exciting month for the blog. We continue to grow, but this month will be a tough one to top! This became our best month by over six thousand hits!
If you're thinking of subscribing, please do! We are always trying to get people to become regular readers and subscribe. As well, if you read a review that really affects you, be sure to "share" it! PLEASE share a link to the blog, not the content of the article; this keeps people coming to the site and, hopefully, liking what they find once they are here! We're really looking to grow our readership, so sharing and subscribing to the blog is an important way you can help! If you’re subscribing, please tell your friends about the blog!
In September, we were able to keep the Index Pages up and updated the entire month, despite a day or two of connection problems, making for a very dynamic website. The primary Index Page, which is now updated daily, lets you know what the featured review is and has an up-to-the-day tally of how many reviews have been reviewed in each category! Check it out!
If you enjoy the reviews, please consider clicking on the links in the reviews and purchasing items. By purchasing items through the links on the blog, you sponsor my ability to continue reviewing.

I pride myself on being an exceptionally fair reviewer, but one who is very discriminating. I believe that most reviewers are far too biased toward both what is current and toward unduly praising things. I tend to believe most things actually are average and they ought to follows something around a Bell Curve. Mine is a little lopsided, but not as lopsided as most reviewers I know (who would probably have peak numbers between ten and seven!
For my reviews, the current count is:
10s - 252 reviews
9s - 350 reviews
8s - 610 reviews
