Okay, so you may or may not know about the new "Too Much Water" meme spawned by IGN recently. In their review of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, they gave the games a 7.8 out of 10 for containing too much water. So Pokemon fans took it upon themselves to birth a new meme mocking and ridiculing IGN for their apparent hatred of H2O in which they call anything with a focus on water a 7.8 out of 10 for having too much water.

In this thread, we do the same. The purpose is to provide reviews of any length (they can be from one sentence to multiple paragraphs) and then give it a 7.8 out of 10, with the main criticism being the amount of water it contains. I decided to put this in General because your review doesn't have to be a video game. Since I created the thread, I'll start.

Planet Earth Review-

Earth is a good planet. I like it. I really do. It provides a wide variety of different life forms, it has given us a home for millions of years, and it's the only planet in our solar system which provides suitable conditions for life. It's also decently sized, and the vast amount of biomes and habitats is truly staggering. Earth is a very ambitious planet, and shows a ton of potential.

Unfortunately, Earth suffers from a distinct lack of land. Sure, it's good for underwater life and people who enjoy fishing and swimming, but for the rest of us, it's really frustrating. Water is the basis for a lot of natural disasters, from hurricanes to tsunamis. Plus, less than one percent of it is drinkable. What kind of crap is that? And if you consider that the polar regions and the tundras are comprised almost entirely of ice, and ice is frozen water, the amount of H2O is ridiculous.

All in all, Earth is a very good planet, one that I wouldn't mind living on again, but the amount of water is a definite negative.

7.8/10- Too much water.

Most of the Earth's surface is water. Water accounts for very little of Earth's totality.

IIRC, humans are actually 70% water. So you could still rate humanity 7.8/10.

On the review that sparked this meme, I wonder what they would have otherwise rated the game if it didn't have too much water. I'm assuming 8, but this is IGN.

(On a side note, I love that my phone suggested "IGNORANT" as an autocomplete option when I typed IGN)

I never take reviews too seriously, I just pay attention when the writer is talking about how the game is, and ignore the writer when it gets to silly criticism and social justice.

How often are the Pokemon games criticized for their pointless use of HMs? The mostly shit moves that you have to learn just to get by certain obstacles. This might not be the place for this, but I'm genuinely curious. I rarely read reviews from either critics or fans. And I'm just now getting back in to the games.

Guess they decided the best way to get past it was to just embrace it. Which just makes them look like idiots having written it in the first place.

Bottle Of Water Review

When I first took a sip out of my bottle of water, it was great. It was cool, refreshing, and really cleaned my system. I want to say right now that a bottle of water is really good. Unfortunately, it's not without its flaws.

Simply put, there's too much water. Water that you can choke on. Water that turns into disgusting urine. Water that gets you wet. Does anyone want that? I think not!

Despite its flaws, I would recommend giving a bottle of water a shot. Yeah, it's not perfect, and the amount of water is a negative, but it is a decent experience, through and through.

7.8/10- Too much water.

Also, IGNs self awareness makes me laugh. At least they have a sense of humor about the whole thing.
