I Miss Your Old Posts When Every Word Was Capitalised.

Even though at first I thought "you pompous pranny" and immediately started scanning your post for errors, I must admit, that was a good little lesson and easy to understand. Thanks.

If you spot any errors in my posts, please do inform me. I'll be the first to admit that my grammar is far from perfect and there is a lot I do not know. That's open to anyone who feels like knocking me down a few pegs. :) I won't learn if people don't correct me, after all.

I was wondering recently about the plural of smiley, and if it should be 'Smileys' or 'smilies'. I thought that 'Smileys' is probably correct, because I doubt that 'smiley' is officially a noun at all, therefore it must be a proper noun. Is this right?

...But then, if you're using a word as a noun, should you treat it as any other noun, even if it's a made up one.

As far as I know, "smiley" is not a proper noun. I could be wrong, but I've never seen it used as such. You hit the nail on the head with your last sentence; that's exactly how I treat it (IE: "smilies"). It seems to be the most logical conclusion.

Nevermind writing in proper english, most people cant spoke proper england either :silent:

My spoken English is horrendous. >_>

It's a valid point, though. A number of grammatical errors have arisen due to poor diction. For instance: people using the phrase "could of" instead of "could have", which comes from people saying "could've".

The first bit of the post clearly was directed at certain people. :) *ahem*

:yawn:

I meant that it was directed at yosai. :) I'd already corrected you, but he then replied to my post. I didn't specifically name him because I didn't want to "call him out", as it were. No offence intended to you, yosai, or anyone else.

Your all entitled to you're own use of English I 'spose.

Edit: Also, the correct use of : is in front of the "awe" and then one after it, right?

Impulse Christmas buy #457: A PS Move starter kit with Sports Champions and Razing Storm. Chances of this being up for sale on boxing day? High. Sports Champions looks well ****. Special Olympics time!

Still, 3 Namco shooters for £25 can't be bad.

This has been a reoccuring random thought of mine for the last twenty years...

I'd love to hear the original, unused, copyright infringing Lemmings music.

I once read about it in an amiga mag interview. The musician stole little melodies from various artists, such as The Beatles, and lemmified them. I specifically remember 'when I'm sixty-four' and 'raindrops keep falling on my head' being mentioned. Game developers didn't give much thought to copyright at the time, but Psygnosis, perhaps realising that they had a big hit on their hands, requested that they remove the bgm. They knocked out some new tracks, inspired by old out-of-copyright songs as a replacement.

Considering how awesome the Lemmings music turned-out, I wonder if the music that DMA really wanted is even more awesome.

...Oh and I wonder if the 'Lemmings construction kit' that I pre-ordered twenty years ago will ever show up.

Surprised how small it was

Looked up Gunsmoke PCBs on google images, got


(sidenote if anyone can confirm what the Capcom ROM stickers (the numbered ones) have printed on them (I assume "GS") that'd be choice).

Deadstorm Pirates is the ****. I'm generally not a fan of autofire gun games and this is clearly aimed at kids and cashing in on Pirates of the Caribbean franchise but its really refreshing swashbuckling stuff. The wheel is a great idea too, although not quite the same with the controller.
