The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Blake Robbins no published score: only 1 usable exchange on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Blake, what was your first, uh, gaming experience?

A Uh, my brother's three years older than me, and so he was always in the games, and he loved Nintendo, like, more than anyone, and I was always the meme of just being Player Two, and so, like, like, it was so bad growing up of, like, we would play N-sixty-four, we had an NES, and I think that's really the first console that we had, and I remember just being stuck playing, like, the crappy other character, you know. It was bad, like, we would play Sonic, and I'd be like Tails, you know, and it was like, I just remember hating that experience, and it was, it became really clear that my brother just loved single-player narrative type creative games, and when the Xbox came out, I was like, oh, like, I can finally get something that my brother's not gonna take all, like, all the time with, and I got an Xbox, and, and really, Halo was the thing that, like, changed my life. I was just like, What is this? This is amazing. Uh, and then really, the three 60, when Xbox three 60 came out, and Xbox Live just really took off.
