On the new pentium recipes in the item effects, foe toughness things are ended with a period. Which looks kind of weird, and I think the other foe toughness things don't have one anyways.

Yeah, I saw that, and it did look weird. I've still got to go back to Muh's consistency thread and clean up a lot of that.

I just noticed that the name of frosted cocoa-fruity marshmallow blasts in the criminology lab (which was corrected) is still not consistent. The name used in the shop is "frosted coco-fruity marshmallow blasts", instead of cocoa.

Edit: Corrected, please remove

Multiuse is still your nemesis:

Like all wise college students know, cereal isn't just for breakfast, it's also a fantastic late-night snack. Like all wise children know, marshmallowy cereal is best if you eat all of the crunchy bits first, and save all of the marshmalows for the very end. You do this now, and enjoy 1 gigantic heaping mouthfuls of sweet, smushy goodness right as you finish off each of the bowls.

This one instance is still there - critical hit of firearms:

you dive through the air like John Shale, time slowing down as you fire. You even manage to utter a really lame pun at the same time. It all combines to deal 130 damage, leaving your oppoonent in critical condition.

Edit: corrected, please remove

All the places foe toughness is mentioned, the dot is there. So it is consistent with all other foe toughness modifiers. It is true that some modifiers have the dot and some do not, which is in itself not consistent, and mentioned in that omni-post Ryme mentioned.

Trying for the "oldest in the game" trophy:

In the "Wear Things" window, there is a "Currently Wearing" section which lists "Off hand" and "Main Hand", with different capitalization.
The list of items has: "Offhand Items" without a space, and with a capitalized "I". All other lists are not so capitalized, e.g. Ranged weapons, Full-body suits.

Saw this while patrolling over in the new place I'm not allowed to talk about because of the 48 hour rule.


" Your seems slightly put off by your defenses, and takes 1 damage. Your opponent appears to be in pretty bad shape. It pulls back before your defenses cause it critical damage. "

My what?

I would screen shot it but I don't have that button in my laptop, me thinks.

The name of the Last Area Patrolled is Hyde Park Streets on the first 4 adventures, then it changes to Hyde Park streets

Edit: It's also "Streets" at the beginning of every day.

You're attacked by the spider, but you spied 'er coming and can dodge easily.

This just sounds weird to me...

_________________

"spied 'er" = "spied her" = "spider"

Try saying it out loud and you should see the word play.

I was talking about the "can dodge easily" part, the sentence starts in past-tense then goes to present... I think, not very good with these

Oh. Ahem. Yeah. Perhaps "thus you dodge easily" would be better.

It sounds a valid sentence to me.

you scare it with a rataplan ratatat that sends it scurrying ratty rathole.

Maybe something is missing between "scurrying" and "ratty rathole"? Perhaps "to its"?

Ebeneezer Samuels lists EEK meter as EEK Meter. It doesn't do this for the rest of the items, where only the first letter is capitalized.

Edit: same goes for Scaffold Shoes and Hunk'a Burnin' Gloves.

Ever since being bitten by a radioactive bat, Vociferous has had the vocal range and volume to oudo top opera singers

You are blased by your psychic equipment and take 1 psychic damage.

Isn't this blasted?

Got it from the Burnin' Gloves. Love the pun.

From the text of the encounter "Breaking the Fourth Wall" (the UR option for Intermission):

This here is a copy of the best memory every remembered

Not a biggie, but I thought it would be a nice touch if in the League of Self Promoters the person was called Dalí, with acute.

Message when you try to access the rooftops without flying (via Last Area Patrolled link)

You shout loudly, "Up, up, and away!" but nothing much happens. Oh, right. You can't fly. Embarassed, you peer around to make sure nobody saw you and then slink off into the darkness.

I can't check if this typo is still in-game as all my multi have finished the quest, but according to the wiki one of the miss messages for Counsel Harry includes:

I just loved you in Coccoon

The more common spelling is Cocoon.

The Sniper skill has "+10 ranged damage". In all other cases in the game, Ranged damage is capitalized. I also added this to the OPOMI (omni-post of modifier inconsistency).

The shopkeeper takes the 10 silver stars and hands you a jersey commemmorating the Viking Games.

When dismissing a wolf:

You wave your arms around and start mumbling weird unintelligible phrases. Your wolf companion is embarassed by your silliness and slinks off.

One of the hit messages of ethereal behemoth sounds a bit weird:

The glob of spit that sprays out of its mouth is so large and has to fall so far, but the time it hits you, you're pounded into the ground.

Maybe that "but" was meant to be "that by" or something like that? I'm not saying it is totally wrong, it just sounds weird.

Also, its should be it's correct?

Oh, and not sure about those commas. Maybe the line should be: The glob of spit that sprays out of it's mouth is so large and has to fall so far that by the time it hits you you're pounded into the ground.

Rule is different with "it", HD. "It's" isn't possessive. It's a contraction for it is. See, I just used it >.>

I still think it should still be possessive. It only makes sense.

That's what Satan was saying. As used, the word is possessive, which means "its" is right. The apostrophe version only works if "it is mouth" is what I meant.

Kids these days. I still remember being a member of alt.language.english.possessive.its.has.no.apostrophe

Was that before or after you joined alt.get.offa.mah.lawn?

After, of course. I was already ancient when usenet was created.

When increasing the duration of Upgrade Armor: Motorized:

You retune the high-tech micromotors to your armor, increasing their useful lifetime by quite a bit. (Added for X minutes.)

What's the error? You're retuning (verb) the high-tech micrometers (direct object) to (preposition) your armor (indirect object)

"in" would scan better. Micro-motors in your armor, as opposed to configuring vaguely related micro-motors to your armor. Since we only have the one line, we have little context to understand how we're aligning something with our armor. Aligning something inside the armor makes more sense.

"You retune the engine to your car" vs. "You retune the engine in your car".

The grammar's fine; the syntax isn't.

Retune to your armor's specifications, basically. They're external, not internal. Part of why they wear off, or something.

I actually thought it was "of your armor", but either way.
