Today's silliest sentence award goes to...

Chris Roper, of IGN, for his review of 'Okami' for the PS2:

"In fact, the game will surprise you in ways that you hadn't expected..."

As opposed to the things that surprise you in the "ho-hum, I totally expected that" way.

Yeah, yeah, I know what he means, but it still amused me. So why did I single this sentence out, when I had all of the internet to choose from? Because I needed to post something and I happened to be reading the review. I haven't posted anything in a week. And I haven't drawn anything in even longer. I did so much cleaning of my old apartment on Saturday and Sunday that my fingers are still too weak and stiff to hold a stylus. At least not well enough to draw anything.

A bit further through the review I ran across this sentence: "... the game's events feel much bigger then just you and Orochi (the game's 8-headed protagonist)..."

From what I know of the game – I haven't played it yet, but I have read quite a bit – Orochi is an evil demon that you are up against. I'm reasonably sure that would make him the game's 'antagonist'.

And a weeeee bit further: "Some are as simply as talking to someone...".

Do you not have an editor? A proofreader? Any help at all?

With that, I'm done. Have a great week everyone!

AOL news is the exact same way...I'm convinced that their official motto is "speeling and grammar bee damned! We beeger then u! lollollol"
haha I love that sentance. It sounds like something I would say.. or have said.

Want to come clean my house too? My cats have been lazing about to much lately I think everything is covered in their hair, including myself.
