Template:AVGNShitScale
Appearance
The Shit Scale is a "video game rating system" designed by the Angry Video Game Nerd to accurately measure the "shittiness" of a game. It was created in his review of Darkwing Duck for the TurboGrafx-16 (but was informally mentioned in his CrazyBus review). He later used it again in his review of Life of Black Tiger for the PlayStation 4.
