@cornbredx:

Don't write "graf", please. Just... don't shorten words in general, please. Pretty please. *insert blinky puppy dog eyes* Respect your words and always spell them out. I know it's a quick and easy thing to do, (I guess it's just my opinion) but when writing something long form of this nature (even as a blog or forum thread) it reads better if you don't do that. Ever.

This thing you wrote is very very obnoxious. There totally is value in respecting words and it's so beyond okay to love the rules of writing but to try and *correct* someone's totally appropriate style- in an informal blogpost- is such a misunderstanding of the other things that are beautiful about writing and language I can't even stand it.

It's also incredibly diminishing to the topic being written about and just generally super rude.

@Judge_Dredd: I'm holding onto the hope that they showed a shooting sequence because it's a trailer and its TO GET PEOPLE WAY PUMPED. There's a real chance that shooting won't be as important as this short video suggests.

Alex, I am really sick of you priming your true opinions with cynicism and snark. Even if you come out in favor of something, you just have to throw in something catty about how things suck. Lighten the fuck up. Jesus, you have an awesome job. Quit being a little moping bitch about everything.

I think you read this article wrong. I don't think he did that at all.

Is CBS going to have access to my personal information? Billing address etc?

This is really important to me. I do not want CBS to have access to my credit card and home address. Call me crazy, but I like having control over these things.

It's not crazy to like having control over those things, but it is crazy to think that your information isn't already out there to huge corporations like CBS.

Kotor 1 and 2 are some of my favorite videogames of all time. I couldn't NOT get The Old Republic, the promise was so high. I don't like MMOs (and the parts about TOR that resemble an MMO are the worst parts by far) and the KOTOR-esque parts of The Old Republic don't feel quite right. It's all an approximation of the videogame that I want but it's close enough that I want to see the story through to the end. I care about my Sith Warrior (and hopefully I'll care about the other characters too) but not enough to play after I'm through with the story. But fuck me there's a lot of walking. 30% speed increase? IM ON A SPEEDER. I WANT 100%!

As long as AC3 has a new game engine it will be better to play and look at.

Well, it almost certainly won't have a new engine.

At least within a science fiction context you're albe to imagine humanity evolving into that direction one day.

Navel gazing and spelling mistakes. The twin scourges of Klepak.

Incomplete sentences and spelling mistakes: the twin scourges of aceofspudz

What are you, his fiance? this is a comments section with different standards just watch as i flagrantly violate the rules of standard written english and nobody cares because im a nobody who is not being paid to be a writer

That up top is an article, and Klepek is a pretty good writer but I expect the things he posts to be more than barely-thought out rough drafts. I knew from the moment I read the head and subhead that it would be a Klepek blog post about gaming induced emotional states.

Imo if he wants to raise the intellectual level of the site, that's fine with me, but he needs to put more thought into these posts. That's why I charge him with navel gazing; it's like we're his college professors and we're letting a bright kid with a good writing style pass despite his lazy content.

Hooch is crazy!
