h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hiya!

I am subbing your entry at A3361150. So far, nothing has been done yet... but hopefully it will be soon.

Will let you know then.

mini

cool thanks!

I was just reading the PR thread of the Entry, and you mentioned that you were adding some stuff to the original. Has this been done? Just to let you know that I will not be able to see these c hanges in my copy as it is a separate entity already so if there is anything you would like to add anything to the entry you would have to let me know.

Also, there were a few comments that you probably had not had time to tackle yet before the Entry was recommended. Were you planning on doing it, or would you like me to take a swing at it first?




mini

I'm planning to have a go, would you like me to post all changes made in this peer review section?

yup. you can post it here so that I can make the changes into the copy for the EG.

However, there is also a time frame issue as I do not want too much of a delay in submitting your Entry back to the Editors.

Let me know...

Thanks for your help!

This has been added to the first paragraph fo th sake of OttoFisch:

The introduction of console games and the even newer online console games has lead to there being two types of gamer. The "Alpha" Gamer and the "Beta" Gamer. The Alpha Gamer is described as the former, whereas the beta gameroften - but not always - worse at gaming than the alphas due to less free time to spend on gaming is more like your everyday person, walking to the shops and helping the old lady across the road with her shopping bags. They often revel in social interaction and only play games as a distraction or to spend any time spared from the bars, clubs, etc.

Added this to the intermediate table (doesn't matter where):

"Nerfed"From "To Nerf"This word is used by gamers to complain about a bug/exploit found in he game which can seriously ruin thegameplay experience of others.
"Exploit"A bug found in the game that can be utilised by players to ensure victory.Often the word exploit is used in the same vein as the word "CHEATER!" and therefore is often ignored or laughed at. However if you can proove there is an exploit in the game (perhaps by using it yourself) then you can often earn respect by never using them. Those who ritually use exploits are often flamed.

it has been added to the Entry. Are there any more corrections? Let me know...

Also, for future EG entries...

Guide rules are that all tags e.g. etc. are to be in block letters. This is normally a minor point that the Eds insist upon...

thanks again...

mini

... the entry is about 80% done, I think.

Is there anything else you would like to add? I noticed that 'zerging' (?) was missing. I can add it in, only I am not sure what its standard usage is.

Also, under the Phonetisicm section, the last 4 items on the list are not exactly phonetics... where should they be inserted?

that should be it for now. Thanks for your help...

mini

I'd never heard of zerging before - some expert i am!

Those last 4 should've been put in the bottom of the advanced table, sorry I made a mistake and got the wrong table.

Sorry! I meant the intermediate table, I haven't had enough sleep today...

I think someone mentioned it (zerging) in the Peer Review thread.

Will change the table then.

mini

hiya!

I think that it should be done. Sorry it took a while - holiday period.

Could you have a look at it to see whether the meanings are still right? I will send it off this week.



mini

Only found one problem, and that is in the intermediate column, third entry down: "Beat em up" is missing it's usage notes. They should be "standard usage" big deal I know, lol.
