Review Scale on The Rocks

Doing things by the books is never the Nerds way so why should reviews be any different? Instead of focusing on a numerical scale (like anyone wants to read a review in binary) or using an alphabetical rating (is there anything other than As?), we decided to use a more unique rating system.
