I would enver go away completely. Sure there will be dark periods were I dont bother coming to these forums because a game has been released and we dont know what the next one is, occasionally coming back to keep my account active.

I'll be back fully when the next game has it's own board, until then you wont have seen much of me.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

Yeah, never. Even if certain things prohibit me visiting very regually, i'll still be here.

My soul has been consumed by this place and i cannot live without my soul. Keeping in close proximity just about keeps me alive.

One Bungie builds the slingshot and achieves world domination, I won't need to come here.

[quote]Punctuation marks go inside quotations.

Not always.

In fact, you never do that when writing command-line program documentation. It's also becoming standard practice in some other areas.

Returning to the subject of this thread, I will stop coming to B.net the day B.net stops existing.[/quote

I don't think normal sentences count as command-line program documentation.

And it's still proper to place punctuation in quotations in English, so until proper English states it is not so, I stand by what I said.

But I digress.

Considering that I've only scratched the surface of Bungie games (Marathon was good, even though I was only able to play it for 10 minutes before dying and realizing I had no idea what was happening, and Myth was great, even though I only played a few levels of it), and Bungie has another coming project, I will guess I won't be leaving for quite a while.

I'll be on my own side.

I'm with Mabian on the Bungie games. I've only scratched the surface. I've played all of their other games. I never finished them, but I've played them. When it comes to Halo, I've learned everything I possibly could.

I doubt I'll be leaving for quite a while.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Punctuation marks go inside quotations. Sorry, it's a habit.

Not true, while Americans always put commas and periods inside quotations, the British always put them outside (unless of course what you're quoting has a comma or period in it, but that's obvious because it also applies to question marks and exclamation points). Since Australia uses the British system, Reiginko was correct.

I'll be here until Achronos pulls the plug. Why? Well besides that I couldn't ever leave you guys, the Old Skool Bungie Goodness will always bring me back.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

Hell if I know. Something tells me that now would not be a good time to leave bungie.net. But if I had to take a guess, I'd say about 2 years after the next project is released. (Probably wishful thinking)

Well, in most cases that's true. But if you were to quote in this manner, for instance:

"Help me," Jack said, "I'm dying of thirst!"
Putting the punctuation inside the inverted commas is correct. However, when you're quoting in this manner:

As well as securing equal pay for women, the Whitlam government also made it straightforward to obtain a divorce, another major feminist victory that gave women greater independence, and assisted in freeing women from their “compulsory participation in the traditional roles of mothering and home-making”.
Or, if I were giving the source of a quote, punctuation would be placed after the source, rather than within the quotation marks:

In the spring of 1955, Rákosi accused Nagy of “right-wing deviations” and “nationalist tendencies” (Sugar, P.F. et al, 1990, p. 376), and Nagy was dismissed from the Party.
Or, if I was placing a single word or phrase in inverted commas to emphasise it as an important concept in what I am writing:

The new Party leadership, under Nikita Khrushchev and Georgi Malenkov, began a programme that was known as the “New Course”, which would initiate a doctrine of “deStalinisation”.
Placing the punctuation outside of the inverted commas is perfectly acceptable, though either method is fine to use. In this case, there is no hard and fast rule, other than to remain consistent within your own writing. It has less to do with where you live (though I wouldn't be in the least surprised if it hadn't been standardised by Webster) than with personal preference. I generally prefer to place punctuation outside of quotations simply because that punctuation may not have been what was in the original text I am quoting.

I like that we can have these discussions. :)

"Help me," Jack said, "I'm feeling hungry!"

"Help me," Jack said, "I'm feeling hungry".

That's how I write, but never like this;

"Help me," Jack said, "I'm feeling hungry!".


Fine, moan about double-standards why don't you!
