Today in Joystiq: July 21, 2008

This is offtopic but something really needs to be done with the comment system. Comments are dissapearing and reappearing like friggin Houdini. Id comment on a story that clearly says 0 comments and lo and behold im the first to comment; then I come back and realize that im 6th. And those are the times when my comment actually comes up; it takes ages for me to actually see my comment most of the time. Then, theres the replies. I get an email saying that someone replied to me and I check the comment and nobody is freaking there. And sometimes I wanna reply to someone with a direct statement but when I reply, it turns out some other reply came out of magic; making my comment seem like it was directed to them creating chaos and confusion.
Just needed to get that off my chest.

@Jhongerkong
I have the same problems as you. The only thing I can suggest to fix any of those problems is to use "@username" whenever you're replying to some one (like I did above). It can help avoid confusion just in case. Other than that there's nothing you can do.
Jhongerkong @ Jul 22nd 2008 12:18AM
While that is a temp. solution, something still needs to be done on the technical end.

For some reason that picture reminds me of this:

This is also off topic but I just realized I should have used my user name to send in that tip instead of my real name. Curse my wonky late-night thinking.
theturtle363 @ Jul 22nd 2008 12:25AM
Why must you taunt me with visions and hopes of Batman games that will never be?! WHY ROSS?!!!

Your pain helps him sleep better at night.

Reminds me of Solstice for the NES.

The word is normality, not normalcy. There is no such word as normalcy. I hate seeing that "word" used all over the place. NORMALITY!
Zephiel @ Jul 22nd 2008 1:37AM
There is such a word as normalcy. It is less common, but perfectly valid.

see I wouldnt have had to post that and look stupid if these damn comments worked!

Wow I think I had that game. Your health or energy meter was constantly falling (even if you didn't get hurt) and you had to eat food all the time just took keep from dying. It basically sucked.
What we really need is a Splinter cell/ Assasins Creed/Condemned style Batman game. Stealth, beatem up combat, and some detective elements.
