    I spell it whoa, when I even use it at all in type.

    People can be so anal about spelling sometimes.

    So you're spelling it correctly?

    This is a case where the word is distorted in such a way that it makes my brain pause slightly. It puts a hitch in the reading process. That's really irritating.

    I don't find whoa or it's variant spellings irritating because it's usually used in less serious writing anyways. Some words are more elastic then others in this regard. It's all about the sound it makes in your head and what that sound conveys.

    I do the same thing with your even though I know better and I get shit for it around here all the time.

    That didn't stop me from writing one memorable undergrad paper

    got a B+

    so confused

    I'm very much in the mood to just fiddle with it until it says what I want it to say, and bet on nobody checking the R code very carefully.

    ...

    can I still make Reinhart-Rogoff jokes or have we worn that one out?

    I am hearing all the right things about Grand Theft Auto V.

    I mean, I was going to get it regardless, because the thing that all the GTAs have over every other open-world game is ambiance. Their worlds are places I enjoy for their own sake even when the gameplay and story and controls aren't there. But it sounds like some of those may have seen some improvement?

    there is something about the tone of the gta games that i just find grating

    like, before gta4, my problem was that the games had a really juvenile sense of humor and were kind of callow

    so with 4, they were like

    "no man gta is all grown up. we have real people with real problems etc"

    so i bought it

    still juvenile, but now also kind of miserable too

    all growed up

    One thing I absolutely love in games is having multiple characters you can play as and switch perspectives

    Like I remember some obscure JRPG on the SNES had three different dudes you could switch between and their own respective groups and I thought that was really cool

    That kind of thing alone has me really excited for GTA V

    I thought it was pretty okay, but optimally I like each character having a lot of stuff going on

    My dream game is an open world action game with red faction style destructible terrain wherein you create clones and customise them for each mission, and losing a clone is very expensive but not a fail state, and you can have multiple clones lying around but only have your character jacked into one at a time. So you can body-hop as it is tactically required but take the risk of leaving a body defenceless

    There are three types of people basically

    Those that never/rarely change their avatars

    Those that change them fairly frequently

    Those that change them every time you hit f5.

    The book I'm reading is making me feel like an excellent stealth game would be a co-op situation with one player (or more) doing a slow, methodical, technical Splinter Cell style infiltration of a facility, while another player is playing the technician who has a top down view and is hacking cameras, misdirecting guards with falsified comm chatter, opening doors, shutting down or altering security systems, monitoring patrols, dropping weapons or supplies in from a drone, locating objectives, etc.

    That would be so badass.

    and then a third player shoots everybody and shouts WE OUT
