GR Mailbag: Huge Rocks Like Butter

Dear Daniel,

Who the heck capitalizes with the Left Shift?

Your Friend,
Righty

Dear De-Ting,

I do.

Your Friend,
Lefty

YOU ALL FAIL. WHY USE SHIFT AT ALL [QUESTION MARK]

If you use the left shift key, it feels like someone else is doing it.

Anyone that learned how to type properly?

C O N F O R M I S T !

Draggin' big rocks?

Son, Dan does that er'day.

dont n'er need butter neither.

But it helps.

i cut through huge rocks with nothing but rolled up twenties lol

IT LIVES!!!

Pixel Prospector is a site that promotes indie games.

Ah nice, you recognize me :))

Btw the current version of "Halo: Out WIth a Wimper" is already a year old. Will there be a new version soon?

Damn, I couldn't afford that game. I had to buy the bargain version, where you slice slightly less huge rocks like they were margarine.

This is the real reason why you don't get your games on time

I had some follow up mails with Daniel and he seems to be a nice chap.
At first sight he was obviously a bit pissed to get a mail without properly capitalized words...
Granted it was a bit sloppy but it contains all the relevant information in condensed form. In my opinion this is better than a huge wall of text (with thoughtful capitalization) where you have to first dig deep to find the stuff that is interesting.
Btw I'm neither involved in the creation of the game nor did the developers told me to inform sites about it. I did this purely on my own because I think that the game is interesting and that it would be cool if it would appear on Game Revolution.

Moreover I thought about what Daniel said and albeit his harsh tone he was right that I should certainly put a bit more effort into the whole capitalization thing. With that being said I won't use the almighty shift key always in the future.... but certainly a bit more often. Especially when I'm writing mails to gaming sites ;)

A little side note: Capitalization rules vary between different languages and thus when you speak more than one language it's a bit confusing at times. While some words are capitalized in one language the same words are completely written in lower-case letters and vice versa. There's an article on Wikipedia about "Capitalization" which shows some examples about this. I don't say that capitalization is useless but due to the fact that some rules contradict with others it can be a bit complicated at times...and sometimes it doesn't make any sense but when it is a rule we all have to apply these rules in our writings in order to not look dumb (until the rules change). So yeah... have fun ;D
