Ok, so maybe you've used the relatively new tag option gracing the top of each game's page.

But maybe you haven't.

Take it from a librarian, this is a fantastic feature that will make it easier for all gamers, especially the original tagger, to find games with the simple white box search.

In librarian-speak, tags are user-generated uncontrolled vocabulary that improve findability. They can augment a search engine'sprecision because these keywords are attributed to metadata by humans, not machines.

Who can better define relevance ranking?

Well, the debate ensues in the information retrieval associations, but all gamers know that humanity is doomed when machines take over the world. Unless it'sa first-person shooter with unlimited grenades and ammo. Then you're the last hope.

So tag for you and for all!

You may never have to visit your profile again to quickly get your games.

Anyone who's played the sidequest of monster capturing on FFX has been driven mad trying to find these elusive creatures. Whoever programmed the appearance rates of some of these monsters was possessed by evil demons.

After 4 years of off and on playing of FFX, I finally nabbed my last Tonberry and was able to meet Nemesis.

Just thought I'd share this triumph, if that's the right word, with the only people on Earth who could empathize.

Worried about what social security will do to you?

Chances are that if you're on this website you're under 50, so you should be. How do you think we can pay for the Boomers' golf courses and martinis?

If you know me, you'll know that I deal with all impending dooms with satire.

I am now a true fan of "Boomsday" by Christopher Buckley. His Cassandra (hey, great name) proposes a solution in true Jonathan Swift ("A Modest Proposal") fashion and comes with pretty unexpected results.

This is a great story that shines through clever and quirky characters who expose, enjoy and freely exploit all the idiosyncratic idiotics of American politics, generational differences, and subversive marketing geniuses.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like cassandra365.
cassandra365 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could cassandra365 possibly have for not rating a single film?
