Big honkin' hammer

From the new work gloves:

I think that first "is" is supposed to be an "it".

Got a few too:

Sanatarium should be sanitarium (too many occurances to list the specific ones)

In A Septic Scandal (without bland sack):
"Off to either side you can see broken pipes where more sluge is trickling in by the minute." <--- Sluge should be sludge

When using Black Sand:
"You pull out the pouch of and try to figure out how to use it" <--- Pull out the pouch of...?

No, it shouldn't:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Sanatarium

The others are good catches, though.

Remember the rule, guys. Look it up at http://dictionary.com first. You'd be surprised how many words have multiple different minor spellings.

I think Dictionary.com actually has a mistake too then When googling for sanatarium, there's 61.100 results and the correction: "Did you mean 'sanitarium'?" while sanitarium has 2.640.000 results and no "Did you mean" thing above.

Hehhehe. >.> <.<

People r teh sillyz!

In the "What The Hell?!" event:

"The eyes are entirely black, the the mouth juts forward" <--- "the the"

Another one:

Description from "Spiked gloves"
"These gloves are armor-plated and mounted with several sharp spikes, which which help both defense and offense." <--- "which which help" should be "which help"

Isn't there a merit badge or something for finding 10 typos?

Introduction to the Troutmaster:
"He's not not what you expected: short, balding, slightly overweight, and pale green. Well, the pale green skin isn't so surprising." <--- "not not"

Game manual, FAQ section, third question.

Questions 4 and 5 ought to have their answers starting on the next line.

Description of working gloves:
"Or the effect is broken, which is most certainly is." <--- Should be "it"

Another one:

When using Trample of the Rhino:
"Channeling the spirit of the rhinocerous you charge your opponent with the intention of trampling them underfoot." <-- rhinocerous isn't in dictionary.com. Rhinoceros is, though.

Tiny, tiny one when selling items...

"Gold Coast" should be capitalized.

Dunno what is should be... Not sure why nobody noticed it yet...

Because I just posted it yesterday in response to a couple of "I picked two items and thought they would be separate instead of one lump package" comments. I'll fix that tonight.

In my Journal for the new Level 5 quest:

"C.H.I.P.S. (Casino Heroes Invesitgate Purported Scandal)"

On the front page:

The level 5 quest has been implmented.

Reading the description for the new Aegis Flux Incapacitor (December's IoTM)...

This may not be a mistake, but something about "pushed forward into the past" seems a little bit off to me. How can something go forward to the past?


The first part of this sentence seems gramatically incorrect. Shouldn't it be "In small print on the inside of the shield, it says..." or "Small print on the inside of the shield says..." or something like that?

Sounds right to me. We are all traveling through time with our backs to the future -- you can see the past, but not the future, therefore we must be facing the past. Now if you push something forward, you'll be pushing it towards the direction you're facing.

Tviri's second point is good and has been fixed. Tviri's first point is a joke that has been misunderstood.

Being pushed forward into the past and the Ægis Flux are related somehow?

Sorry, never seen that series.

Try oddly phrased time travel and the Flux (in)capacitor being related.

Great scott!

"bat out of hell". Isn't Hell a place-name, and thus a proper noun, and thus something that should be capitalized?

Also, it seems the crib sheet should follow the standard of the Hero's Cape and be capitalized as well.

Never noticed this before...

Looks like you lost track of where you were going with this. It should either be "Unless you don't happen to consider..." or "...to be nothing special."

Personally, I think the second is better because it mirrors the first sentence.

I think the current description makes sense, then again; english is my third language so don't trust me.

I think the quote says what I wanted it to. Consider this example:



The coffee one is more subtle, which I think makes it funny in a way that the Godzilla line isn't, but it's the same thing.

I think the bolded text should be: where they come from

Hm. Okay, I see your point. Guess I just have a snarkier world view, heh.

From the Nagual Mystic:

"You think you fight their phsyical..."

The problem with typos I make the first time is it means I also tend to overlook them the second, third, tenth, whatever time if you just copy and paste it here without highlighting the word. Totally a failing on my part, but it means I start pulling out my hair first until I catch on to the actual issue. Any help with the highlighting/explanations is always appreciated.

Fixed.

I think I've caught up with the spelling errors listed here.

In a newer choice adventure, it says that you see 4 people, but then only specifically lists off 3 of them. Intentional?

Well, I've got a hat!

"Here" is fixed.

The 4/3 people would be because I trimmed a choice out. Just assume the fourth isn't doing anything interesting. I may expand it later.

[spoiler]advanced medkit

As it's name implies, this thing is both automated and a medkit.[/spoiler]

I think its name implies it's advanced, rather than automated.

Man, can't believe I messed up "its" -- that always drives me crazy when others do it. That's what I get for scrambling to write a description after 7 hours of coding. Fixed.
