In Response To: Re: Graphical evolution of the Halo series. (Rockslider)


: Just wanted to add a note of thanks for a post that clearly took a fair
: amount of time and effort. And extra thanks for your sensible decision not
: to load it with a deluge of modem-stalling images! It's not as if it takes
: anyone much time to click on your (thoughtfully titled) links. I've
: actually yet to click them all to get the full value of the post, but in
: the meanwhile I do have one query. What the heck is 'teabagging'? My
: dictionary has failed me.

Thanks man. Glad you liked the article. BTW, like Red Breast said, teabagging is when you crouch repeatedly on the corpse of an enemy you just killed. It's just to add insult to injury. Personally, I prefer to shoot or melee dead opponents.

: Yeah I hate it when I find typos in my stuff too - especially when it's been
: there for months and months for all to see. When I REALLY want to be
: careful with the proofreading, I sometimes read through dead slow, moving
: the cursor along as I go through each word. Takes a while, but you catch
: things that a read at normal speed would often miss. I find that at normal
: speed your brain can easily make you see stuff that's not there, because
: of expectation. It's like some sort of annoying Word auto-complete module
: executing inside your head. I blame Microsoft.

I'm a perfectionist when it comes to spelling. I hate it when I make typos myself, and I dislike reading things that have several spelling errors every single sentence. I'm a little less strict when it comes to proper, formal English grammar, as I tend to be a more casual speaker. However, I do have rather high standards even there. For example, I can tolerate the odd incomplete sentence when it's easy to tell what the speaker is saying from the context, I don't mind it when people end sentences in prepositions (we all do that regularly), and other little things that are common in casual conversation. But if the grammar and style looks like something a four-year-old concocted, well, I feel sorry for whoever wrote it.

: Anyway, good work, and hey, maybe you ought to start having some sort of
: regular series of articles somewhere, a bit like Narcogen with his stuff
: at rampancy.net.

Actually, I've just started a blog over at 1up. It's going to consist of posts I've made here and at B.net as well as topics that don't have anything to do specifically with Halo. It should show up as a link at the bottom of my posts here now, that is if I updated my profile correctly. I guess I'll find out once I click "Post", which I'm going to do now.
