That box is confusing me :/

  • 08.01.2009 4:42 AM PDT

The box is pretty cool. Look close and you'll see that 3 of the large blocks on the top in front are actually 2 huge wedges.

If you like that, I built M.C. Escher's Relativity on Foundry in June 2008. The aspect ratio is different and I had to leave out parts because the roof is so low, but I think it does justice to the original:

As someone who lived in Arizona for a few years I'd take 115 degrees in Phoenix over 95 degrees in Seattle any day. Not that I enjoy 115 degree weather by any means. It's just that humidity is the real killer here, and when it's 104 in Kirkland it becomes nearly unbearable.

Issaquah was death, fortunately I have air conditioning. Unfortunately my buddy's house where we H3 does not, this has been an uncomfortable week.

Incomplete sentence: "Preferably one covering grammar and punctuation."

Correction: "With your new found time we'd suggest you read a book, preferably covering grammar and punctuation."

Can I Haz Recon??

Nice update. Humidity sucks and I know how it feels. 80 degree weather can feel like 95.

ODST pics look amazing. I can't wait.

  • 08.01.2009 11:48 PM PDT

Eat Hamwinkies!

thats how it was for me to i only ahd a lil spinning fan and it was 103+ in my room where i was playing halo the whole time

  • 08.02.2009 1:06 AM PDT

In your new found spare time, may we suggest you read a book? Preferably one covering grammar and punctuation. We strongly feel that this may be a wise and valuable investment of your resources. There will be extra credit awarded if you can identify the incomplete sentence in this paragraph and provide me with written corrections.

The second sentence is incomplete. Correct it by writing "Preferably, read one covering grammar and punctuation."

I just graduated with a degree in English. Who's hiring?

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

Lol urk, you took, what, like 6 paragraphs to explain that seattle is rainy, lol we get it. Coming from SoCal myself you really cant appreciate how good the weather is until you've moved elsewhere, like seattle. Give it a few years and you'll be just as sick of the rain as the rain itself. And lol funny pic stosh picked out, props to stawsh n rocketmoose :]

Fresh and Klean

Ow, My squeedily spooch!

  • 08.02.2009 5:02 AM PDT

"Preferably one covering grammar and punctuation." would be the incorrect sentence because you refer to a pronoun without the pronoun having set forth a prior subject. Instead of your sentence, you should have said *Preferably a book covering grammer and punctuation.*

Sorry if I sound like an ass, I don't want to but im sooooooo bored (Iknow its only 9:30 in the morning.....gonna be a long day) Well hope the extra credit is good. HAH....itz whatever....Laterz bunngie you guys made the best game ever!!!!(also the only one i own hah)

  • 08.02.2009 6:32 AM PDT


Really Bungie, you are going to jump on the Twitter wagon? Don't you have any self-respect?

The Banhammer knows all.

For the sake of having nothing better to do, other than read all the comments about the blog I suppose...

Preferably one covering grammar and punctuation.

1. You have no subject in this sentence, you could assume that "One" is the subject but what is one? Oooh mysterious!

2. Pronouns do NOT take the place of nouns!

A correct sentence would look more like

Preferably a book covering grammar and punctuation.

Or Even;

In your new found spare time, may we suggest you read a book, preferably one covering grammar and punctuation; We strongly feel that this may be a wise and valuable investment of your resources.

In fact that last bit isn't really complete either, seeing as it doesn't provide a subject for the verb feel.

...Meaningless English classes that oddly enough get me nowhere in a text based world aside; I can't wait until we hit 90's again... We've been sitting pretty at 112 - 115 all week in good old sin city.

Those pics were amazing!!! Can not wait till it actually comes out. The cube is crazy, but it seems like the top or back cubes he made bigger in order to look like it blends into the front? Just my observation but great update!!
