  1. No worries. I'll usually proof my own stuff, but I always like to bring it to someone else anyway. Our minds will sometimes "fill in the blanks" on things we intended to be in there, so we can go over something several times and never notice it.
  2. Hi there. I'm checking it out right now. I'm reading Episode One. It seems pretty solid so far. There is one passage that I found a bit confusing, however: On the first pass, it sounds like her daughter is the one vaguely resenting her dolls. It's a minor fix. May I suggest the following?: That keeps almost all of your original wording intact. You and I have different writing styles, so I wanted to preserve your flavor as much as possible in my suggestion. But it does clear up a passage that can be confusing to a reader and helps keep the forward momentum of your narrative flowing. Okay, I'm going back to continue reading. You've got a solid grasp of writing from what I've seen so far. EDIT: Okay, I've checked out the first part. It's 5am here and I haven't slept yet, so I'm probably going to go ahead and do that, but I'll check it out some more tomorrow. It reads well. You give a lot of good visualization to the scene, so it is easy to draw a picture in my mind of what is going on. The action taking place is clear and concise. You've got some nice touches you put in there as well. The narrative 3rd person introspective moments that you weave in with the more concrete descriptions of things helps give a sense of of connecting the characters to the world they are in.

  4. Delta, I support this idea of giving unlimited fun eats daily. I am prepared to stand for this cause. Plus, I finally noticed where the "Like" button is. Gorillas Really Are Not Icky H I N B S

  9. There's a "link" tag button in the bar above where you type your post. example Basically, just highlight the word and then look for the "link" button and it will bring up a small menu for you to link to a URL, an anchor in the thread or an email. Press "OK" and you now have a linked item. EDIT: I posted this and clicked the link to be certain I did it right....and to say hello back to you. Hello, and welcome.
  10. Unless they have some sort of automatic filter for the word "Unbended", I would probably say to drop the name in a natural way while commenting on the subject of the video or whatever. It could also be the presence of a link in a comment which may make the automatic filters consider it to be SPAM. Lots of spammers use links in their posts, so even I have a habit of skipping over any post I see that has a link in it. Another thing that can be done would be to upvote any comments on those sites that bring up Unbended, just to bring those comments greater prominence. It's not even insincere since I can see fans of Sacred 2 who were upset by Sacred 3 be genuinely excited and eager for Unbended. But, yeah, I'm not sure what you posted, but I would think that including a link would trigger the filters on a site like Youtube. I would probably try something like "Sacred 3 seems a bit too linear to me, to be honest. I prefer a more robust form of character development and exploration, like what is being done for the upcoming game Unbended. I would probably get someone who, like me, was underwhelmed with Sacred 3 to pay a visit to a site like DarkMatters where they can get a better feel for how much more an ARPG can be." <---- Something like that stays on topic, gives the Google Keywords for people to search and helps let people be aware that not all ARPGs are like Sacred 3. Even the criticism of Sacred 3 is kept polite and to the point, which will probably echo the feelings of someone who never played the earlier games and just assumed that all of them might be boring. Now if you posted something similar to what I just suggested and still got flagged for spam, then it was probably whomever posted the video just censoring anything that brought up other games that Sacred 3 would be unfavorably compared to.
  11. Darn, I just realized I posted my original entry to an earlier post....so I'm editing to do the correct 5 letters. CHATS Chimneys Have A Terrible Smell Can Horses Avoid The Saddle? Cooked Halibut Always Trumps Sushi Crying Has Always Tasted Salty Okay...lemme see..... F A V O R
  12. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. So, yeah, it's extremely thin, so I figured it was important to get something to give it a little protection. I think the Otterbox products are pretty good. I've had my phone in those and it does not interfere with it's functions at all...just gives it a lot of armor and hitpoints, more than anything.
