Random thought(s) of the moment

Methinks hyphenation is a lost art.

I was taught in school that determining where to separate words was based on syllables.

So, for example, if the word Kleenex was being bumped to the other line and leaving a great big gap in the previous line because of that, I would hyphenate it as Klee-nex.

But some crazy people would probably split it after the N or before the second E or something. :[

I guess, in the end, it doesn't matter too much other than the fact that it'll look and read funny if you looked at the two parts separately. :P

[tancients]

And then you learn in higher level English that hyphenation is horrid form, and can be avoided with creative planning.

Reminds me of one of my teachers (Preschool maybe) who was teaching subtraction. I of course asked "Well, what happens if you subtract 2 from 1?" to which the teacher replied "You can't." First time I was ever told "Not possible". Of course, I went home and learned it was possible thanks to my mother keeping all her school books in the library. But still.

Sometimes when I click on a topic here in ALoY I must click on the wrong link. I get taken to the first page of discussion instead of the latest and get very confused.

I just responded to a post over a year old in the FFXIII Trailer discussion and then quickly deleted it.

Hrm. I'm suddenly thinking that I have really missed out by having never played Suikoden 2

(I've at least played and own the first one)

Ye know... these cell phone services are just getting plain stupider and stupider. First they give you the option (nay, rather, forcibly change themselves and then charge you to shut the accursed service off!) to change your ringing tone (that is the 'twoot twoot' tone that others hear when they call you) to some crappy Indian song. Now there are stuffs like adding 'background music' to your conversations too??!??

O___o

Do ye guys have such nonsenses too? :'D *has just received a service provider message about this*

Hurm~ I'm half deaf already and can always hardly hear the other person on the other end of the phone - which loon would want to add more hearing distractions?! D:

[Ascended Mermaid]

Lol! I must've overlooked that!

I actually considered the product as I get a bad case of hangnail; go figure that just meant I needed to replace my nail cutters. XD

Oh, of course, that was before I had a real job or real money. I wouldn't invest in it now, lol.

...lol. Yes. LOL. Of... LOL. o_o Sad, the word filter doesn't work anymore. LOL, and I liked it!

I got two three random thoughts at the moment;

a) I need to take the dog out again, I wonder if she'll finally do #2,
b) I'm hungry, going for some Pho,
c) I realize that my N810 pocket tablet (love, everyone should have one) can run GBA, etc games..so even though I don't have a GBA I could technically run ROMs on it! Can one buy ROMs? Hm

In addition to that I am thinking that Tyra Banks is putting on some weight and that I need to make my bed.

[Ascended Mermaid]

Tyra Banks makes you want to make your bed?

[Red Hairdo]

One can buy ROMs. On the Wii. And other things.

... SHIT, it's from Cave Story?

I've had that downloaded for so long, but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet. D:

Nifflas' games were sometimes relaxing (Knytt Stories), and sometimes downright CRUEL/aggrivating (Within A Deep Forest)!

pixel, on the other hand, did a pretty awesome job. Not only was the game linear in some respects, but pretty non-linear in others. The controls were tight, the action was fast-paced, it was everything I was hoping for. A cross between Megaman and Metroid... it's Metroidman! I can't fully understand Wyrd's ho-hum review. Perhaps because he didn't play it on the easiest possible setting, activated by getting the Machine Gun?

Within A Deep Forest is just too loose for me, it would piss me off until the cows come home if I had to sit there and torture myself with that damn glass ball again -- and trust me, I'm being VERY nice when I put it that way! Otherwise, I want to beat Nifflas' face in for that IWBTG-style bullshit! Personally, even IWBTG has better control and is more forgiving!

Knytt Stories is awesome, though. Relaxing, but awesome. The controls are actually GOOD, which is more than I can say for WADF.

Here's hoping that Night Game is actually more enjoyable.

[Ashurei]

I've never heard of Nifflas' before.

Just spent some time with Knytt, it was pretty cute.

[AllenSmithee]

There's a new one he made, I think it might be shareware though.

I loved WADF, and to me it was relaxing. It was kind of hard sometimes, but perfectly managable, and awesome. The level design was unrivaled, PLUS the fact that the OST is beautiful. Perfectly good.
