BigO Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I like the term "demake" that was used in this related article: http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9039477 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I defentily agree with this last part of this article: "The game can't match "Halo 3" for visual beauty, but it is instantly accessible and offers old-school gamers something very rare: an opportunity to play a favorite franchise in a way that's both new and old, both surreal and familar."

That's also shockingly good writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's also shockingly good writing. Ditto Though the statement is certainly true, I wouldn't call it great writing. Also, it's got a punctuation error: The writer didn't capitalize after a colon. -tet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Franzman Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Also, it's got a punctuation error: The writer didn't capitalize after a colon. After consulting several online style references, I find no indication that the first word of the phrase following a colon should be capitalized, and several counter-examples.

tetrode kink Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Also, it's got a punctuation error: The writer didn't capitalize after a colon. After consulting several online style references, I find no indication that the first word of the phrase following a colon should be capitalized, and several counter-examples. Well, in the vast majority of cases, I have learned to defer to your knowledge, A.J. But in this case I must stand firm: It's something I learnt in skuul, from all that book lernin'! Maybe some style guides allow that lazy-ass crap, and I certainly must tolerate it in modern writing, but that doesn't change my belief that it is incorrect. It would take several citations of sources I respect to weaken my resolve on this issue. As far as counter-examples go, they might just be wrong. As is, I believe, the punctuation example in the article referenced in this topic. Also, it's interesting to know that one sentence uttered by Yours, Truly can send you off on a long research trek. Should I be flattered, A.J., or should I be concerned for your sanity? -tet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Franzman Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Should I be flattered, A.J., or should I be concerned for your sanity? Yes, or perhaps no. Maybe. I don't know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetrode kink Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Site you're References! You're right, AtariAge is one of the best sites of reference for the classic Atari hardware. Unique perspective, CincYnoTi, I mean, addressing the site directly and all. But, yeah, complete agreement here. AtariAge rocks! -tet Edited August 17, 2010 by tetrode kink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
