Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

I'm at $7.25. It's hard to review stuff. I got away with making a triple "review" by accident due to lag. It's so hard to find stuff to review, I just randomly reviewed some pilates book, I said it was good for my body and I'm in the best shape of my life or some sort of bullshit.

EDIT: I found the best review ever

I think we get the point.

That's what you get for submitting 11 identical reviews with the album name changed.

"Wu-Tang Clan member The Ghostface Killah releases yet another solo album 13 years after the Wu-Tang's first amazing album Enter The 36 Chambers dropped, and it's definetely a good album with great production as Ghostface's albums generally have. Stand out track on the album is the soulfoul looped Biscuits featuring Trife."

Uh Skip, Pretty Toney came out 11 years after The 36 Chambers. ;)

I wish I had that review thing for a site in Canada.

Um, I'm actually not quite sure. I think they do ship to the U.S. but you have to pay for shipping. But for us Aussies, we get free shipping.

is there a limit as to how much of the review money you can spend on one item?

and do the reviews need correct grammar?

Nope you can build up as much cash as you want, and the reviews get reviewed by the site and if they arent suitable you don't get the money.

I haven't been home at all today, but I'll do a couple now.

And Colin...remember it takes me like 30 seconds for each review, I don't really think about what Im actually putting in there. You give me more credit then you should.

Nice one, and not really for practicing lol...i barely put any thought into mine.

There's some real hard to find albums on offer (over 5500 hip hop albums on the site) so it's definetely a great find Matt

I'm aiming to buy The Wu-Tang Manual next $30, haven't been able to find that anywhere in Australian book stores

i told ya you'd like it...i'm still @ $4 but im headed over now to write a review.

EDIT: check out my shitty Live 06 review for PS2

EDIT: if i was you guys, i'd actually check with the site to see if you can make 'purchases' just by writing reviews. If you can't, then your just wasting your time. I've actually made purchases so it's all good for me.
