Context my dear boy, context. I'm very careful with my use of swearing, both on this forum and in real life. That's not to say that I don't swear because as any of my friends would tell you, I'm more than prone to the occasional explicit word. It's all about how a swear word is used and if it is used appropriately.

Swearing is a part of language and language is a tool. It's knowing how to correctly use that tool that is key.

A swear word should be used to emphasise a point or for humorous effect. When insulting someone, I'd much sooner be witty and avoid unnecessary swearing whenever possible.

It amuses me no small amount when I come across a complete fool in this world and I insult them in a creative and biting way, only to have them respond with "fuck off". I end up coming across as the winner of the argument and they come across as a complete idiot. Excellent!

Precisely. Moderation is everything and if you can't use your swearing in moderation then I'm sure a moderator will talk to you for failing to use moderation. It's all about the two forms of mod!

Aw, shucks! Thank you, you splendid individual, you.

Nice job on the LP. Brings back fond memories of this game.

Keep on fighting the good fight (that means updating this thread and entertaining me ).

[St_Eddie]

I have a question to ask all of you...

At present I'm spending anywhere from 5-7 hours creating each segment and I was thinking of creating shorter parts to this let's play. Hopefully this would result in more frequent updates (although I can't guarantee that) but ultimately doing so would result in less of a headache for myself, when making each segment.

By creating shorter entries, readers wouldn't be missing out on any content but you would be receiving that content in smaller chunks. Please could everyone let me know what you would prefer; for me to retain the current format or for me to break it down into smaller parts?

Please be brutally honest in your responses and don't tell me what you may think that I want to hear but what you would like to see. My top priority with this let's play is to entertain, so your preference is paramount.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to your replies.

Many thanks (great avatar by the way).

I think you should do what ever is best for you and your sanity. If it means smaller but more frequent updates then so be it. At the end of the day it's your let's play and you can run it in any way you wish. Either way I think it'll still be entertaining. Just don't worry too much about little things like this.

[Jennifer]

If it's becoming a chore for you to do the big updates, and is not fun for you anymore to do it that way, then by all means do smaller ones.

I definitely wouldn't mind smaller parts, especially since you said it would still contain the same content (just in bite sized portions).

Thanks, and I vote for doing whatever the hell you want, as it is your thread.

Do whatever is convenient. We aren't paying you for this, after all! If there's anything good about the longer updates, it's that they present more continuous ideas without distraction. Shorter updates have the advantage of being quicker to load and read through (I was the one who said I often don't have time for these...).

You can also work on them in chunks when you have time, and save them to post in one big swoop, if it makes sense.

Winslae? Winnslowes? ********?

[Darth Marsden]

Do what suits you best, Eddie. If shorter updates are easier on you, then shorter updates we shall have.

[Edward VanHelgen]

Yeap - Do What You Feel, Eddie! Be like boy! We like Roy!

As long as you promise to wrap it all together at the end and publish as the Collector's Edition with poster and Commander Rocket figure.

I'd ban you for your insolence, except that I don't have access to ban moderators!

(Or anyone else for that matter, but let's not nitpick. The Win-slows are listening.)

That's ok, nor do the moderators!

(Seriously, we can't ban each other, perhaps to stop any one person going on a megalomaniacal rampage and ruling the forums with an iron banhammer.)

Aw, shucks! Thank you, you splendid individual, you.

It is just that I was shocked to see swearing here. Never seen any swearing in any posts until this thread so was surprised to see any.

I assumed it was against the rules so was amazed to learn you can actually swear as much as you like here.

[Darth Marsden]

So, uh, are you still doing this Eddie?

He mentioned in another thread that he needs (but doesn't want) to put it on hiatus for about a month.

Ed, I very much look forward to the continuation when you're ready.

Really? Must have missed that. Thanks for letting me know.

[St_Eddie]

Woah, sorry folks! So, I reached the half-way point of my 'Let's Play' and then my ruddy plane only goes and crashes within the bloomin' depths of the Amazon bloody jungle. My only fellow survivor is a comic loving geek, named Sparky! Would you believe it?! How very ironic!

So, I find myself temporarily indisposed, condemned to playing 'Sonic the Hedgehog' for the Xbox360, amongst the sexy lizard-women of the Amazonian jungle. Oh, how I wished that they'd discovered a copy of 'Skyrim', alongside the glorious spark of fire and the invention of the wheel.

Nonetheless, I shall attempt to update my journal as and when I can, should the sex crazed Amazonian women ever see fit to release me from their erotic grasp!

A new entry is forthcoming. Ouch, my pelvis hurts!

[Darth Marsden]

I just want you to know that I miss this thing. It helped to alleviate the monotony of my otherwise bland and meaningless existence.
