Pay Attention Games™

Games™

Games™ and their appalling proof reading.

I’d always thought that writing for a magazine would mean that you had a good grasp of the language you were writing in. Look at this from the Gmaes™ review of Guitar Hero III.

The bit underlined in red is unforgivable. What sort of people do they have writing for them, glue sniffers?

I just cannot understand why it is that Gmaes™ never spot these errors before they go to print. what does their editor do? I can’t believe for one second that the entire magazine isn’t proofread before publication? I mean, really?

Come on, I know timescales are tight in the magazine business but fundamental errors of grammar like this shouldn’t happen, let alone be allowed out there in the published magazine.

Still, I could of really loosed my temper over there disregard, this as to stop.

    Do they not have a proof-reader in their employ? Wnakers*

    *acceptable spelling as established by one Mr. J. Douglas, I believe.

    Wnakers, is a comedy device of such subtlety as to be indistinguishable from error!

    [...] shit like this from time to time. At least it’s better than Gmaes™ which seems to desperately avoid proof reading and basic grammar in favour release [...]
