It's been awhile since I've posted any reviews.For that I am sorry,but I have recently started posting on a certain video game forum run by another critic,another self proclaimed critic merely called "The VideoGameCritic" or the "VGC ".
It's been quite some time since my last book,then again I haven't done any Browsers in some time either.I figured I might as well combine them since browser reviews are quite short.
I remember for a long time [since I was 5] when Mom and Dad just got an email adrress and Asm used to always play Sesame Street online,of course we had a different computer [which we used for a good decade until we started too need online,for this computer got replaced in 2001 with the one I use now,both were updated to Windows 98 and we used that for quite some time to. However during all these computer changes,one browser stayed the same and was the main 90's browser. Fine I'll get to it already.
Netscape Browser (AOL)
Presentation: 20/20 (Overall Netscape has had a good presentation it looks just like a serious man's browser [unlike Chrome])
Features: 0/20 (If features were strands of hair on guys head,Netscape would be bald)
Reliability: 20/20 (It was quite reliable for sometime but once the computer switched from dial-up to DSL it always got really slow from the router)
Searching: 20/20 (Certainly a good browser for searching at the time,albeit out of date now [sort of like being 16 in this era and still using vinyl records to listen to music instead of iPods and iPhones)
Final:15/20 (Netscape was out of date but it was reliable and workable and quite easy to deal with,but it wasn't compatible with stuff as simple as conforums.Eventually I ended up upgrading to Opera just get things done)
Now onto a controversial,graphic novel that gives one reader an interesting view of the Iranian Revolution and an odd view of Communism/Socialism.Here we go
Persepolis (Marjane Satrapi)
Year: 2003-2005
Publisher: Pantheon Books
Plot: 20/20 (I suppose it's not really fair to give autobiographies a score based on plot,but well the plot is good after all it's about the Iranian Revolution and living in Iran during the times of all those strict standards)
Author's Viewpoint: 10/20 (Rather than scoring by characters I'll score based on authors view because it is an autobiography.I don't completely agree with her view,I agree that it shouldn't be so strict and would probably have the same reaction to all the murders and sexism [It's not really fair when women can't even show any hair or wear sneakers when men can wear stuff so tight you can see everything],then again I don't think she has a lot of morals and she's a bigmouth and quite defiant but then again defiant bigmouths don't really like defiant bigmouths.I also learned quite a bit more aboput Communism and U.S. relations[Were jerks that set up puppets for our interests and we forget that capitalism has made Wal-Mart exist])
Writing: 20/20 (There isn't too much writing becuase it's a graphic novel,but what there is is excellent and i love the metaphors I see)
Pictures: 20/20 (The drawings aren't like traditional Japanese manga but rather in a league of their own,in fact I believe all books by this author look something like these,either way I wish I had her style of drawing)
Final:18/20 (If I wasn't morally baffled by her values I'd give this book a perfect score,oh well it's eye candy and easy reading,I remember reading this 10 times in my Freshman year and 20 times earler this school year)
Up Next:
Chronologically: Ever After or Time Bandits (Movies)*
Browsers: Chrome (Google)
* I think I did an Ever After movie review but if I didn't that's next rather than Time Bandits
