I also don't think posting on this forum by a child is appropriate either. That's just me.

That's what I thought as well.

it does look good. Maybe ea might added it :lol:

It's from an old movie from the mid 80's with Emilio Estevez called "Maximum Overdrive". But since it's so old and Emilio isn't doing much, maybe EA can get the rights :D

haha would be awesome. If they could. :lol:

I do think they should release some more recognisable items from the past :lol:

Seriously, you think "work on your grammar" is belittling? At worst it was slightly snarky, and in general it hardly even counts as insulting at all.

This is a problem, people ... thinking it's okay to be ignorant, or that someone pointing out ignorance is somehow evil. Blu-yo did not attack the OP, there is nothing belittling about his comment, and your reaction (along with all those "such an indecent word" comments) shows how shallow you are to reject the notion that anybody or everybody could learn to communicate better and with more clarity (such as is the purpose of grammar to begin with).

And if English is your primary / first language, there is absolutely NO excuse for poor grammar and spelling when you're typing on the interwebs where all that information is easily available at your fingertips for free (( exceptions granted such as when you are intentionally writing in an argot to display your preferred slang or lingo or for humorous effect )).

I like the Oscar's Obstacles truck but it would've been cooler if it was tipped over with the obstacles dumped out, like in the episode. It's kinda boring looking as is.

I completely concur with that sentiment ... at least Kumiko walks around and you earn $$ and XP from her ... the truck? Boring.

I'd like to see more skins for more characters this year. I find it quite entertaining to have various people walking around in skins that don't match each other thematically :-D

back to this eh? If you can read what some is trying to say, then why make an issue about? I'm sorry if it offends you but people with dyslexia of learning difficulties may not even spell close enough for spell checker to pick up on. I know some words I spell the spellchecker can not recommend words if I'm totally out the ball park. This Is a casual forum. When don't need people say what and how we should wright. The op post was readable

I do have to point out that there is a bit of a double standard going on here. I suspect that muleheadjoe feels the same about pointing out grammar errors as you do when you take him to task for it. Do see what I am saying? There are those who believe it is polite to use correct spelling and grammar, or as close to correct as one can manage, and therefore downright rude to not even try. I don't think there is anything inherently bad with this belief, even if you don't agree with it. So, as I see it, the only room for argument is in how this opinion is expressed, as in either a helpful and friendly way or a snide and condescending way.

I just don't think you can stop people from caring about grammar, but maybe you can get them to not be jerks about it.

I'm guessing that you don't play that many competitive computer or platform games. I can't count how many times that I've heard a 10 year old use a racial epithet or some of the foulest profanity. Now, I'm not condoning it by any means (and it's still quite shocking every time that I hear it), but it kids these days get an early education.

Come on guys can we please keep this on topic, some things expressed on this thread has no right to be here.

Lol, no I don't. I'm 53, mother of 8 & grandma to 3. Some things sadden me & I'm sure it's not understandable to many.
