Andrew: did you mean to capitalize if?

me: but, yeah, can you give this a look see and tell me what you think before I start editing into new document>?
me: want to release it soon
me: are you there?
me: if you can't do it that's fine, let me know
Andrew: yeah, ill look at it in a few minutes
Andrew: I'm jsut finishing a commit
me: awesome, thanks
me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socks_the_Cat_Rocks_the_Hill
Andrew: I'd give my left nut for a rom of that
me: I wouldn't be surprised if that's available
me: they seriously made the then-most-recent president of the U.S. a bad guy
me: and another still-living U.S. prez
me: I should forward this to Red State
Andrew: it was written & published by japanese company
me: oh, you're right. That's an important detail that exonerates those responsible to some extent so Red State won't be interested
me: as they would be ethically obligated to note thaty
Andrew: exactly; redstate would never exploit something out of context
me: if only there were some less-than-moral conservative outlet in existence
me: perhaps a poorly-coded blog
me: run by maniacs
me: WELL WE CAN ALWAYS DREAM
me: simple math, Stein
me: also
me: Fallout New Vegas
me: is fucking awesome
me: it's one of the greatest games ever
Andrew: ok
Andrew: skyrim looks awesome
Andrew: and unfortunately i may enver get to play fallout nv
Andrew: unless i buy a ps3
Andrew: which doesnt seem likely
me: yeah, Skyrim is going to redeem problems with Oblivion, it seems
me: to some extent, at least
me: they're already stuck on that mass appeal path
Andrew: mass appeal == "we will fix ll the things about rpgs that you normally have to just tolerate to get to the good parts"
me: well, compare Oblivion to Morrowind
me: (because no one has done that before)
me: they took out some of the rich complexities in terms of magic
me: and dumbed down the story to some extent
me: but yeah, I'd really, really appreciate it if you'd look at that document
me: and just let me know your thoughts
me: this is pretty important to me and a lot of other people
