Morning Discussion

Guten Morgen, Shacknews readers. Once again the weekend has rolled around, like a giant katamari ball, here to take your cares away. Working? Homework? Kids? Sorry, no katamari of love for you. :( So yeah, ET: Quake Wars today and then Zelda and PGR4 next week, any chance we can petition for more hours in the day? Maybe retailers need to have Christmas 2 in June or something, and act like all these games are being released for the first time again then. Trying something a little different below, what do you guys think? I was aiming for not exactly the informative type of post, but rather good discussion threads that wouldn't normally be tagged as such even though they have value. Notable Shack Comment Round-up:

      haha. I'm really terrible about leaving out words in my writing, you can probably see it in like 1 out of 10 of my posts.

        I do that all the time. Fingers don't quite catch up to my thoughts. Like I'm skipping frames.

          It's actually quite common, both in writing and reading. I remember there was some online test where you read a paragraph and try to spot the missing words, and it was surprisingly difficult. Our brains are quite good at prediction and filling in the blanks. So good it often happens without our knowing.

            I remember this game I had that was mind tricks and stuff like that...
            There was this one puzzle where you just had to read aloud what the card said, it was arranged in a triangle like this, except the triangle was equilateral.
            A
            Bird
            in the
            the bush

            I totally didn't realize that it said "a bird in the the bush" until both "the"s were actually pointed out to me. Some of that stuff is crazy. Yeah, our brains are good at correcting mistakes to what they should be, so much so that it is difficult to convince yourself that there is an error sometimes.
