    Unless I read something in a review to change my mind, I sort of feel like I've been there and done (played) this!?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    It's a bad habit I've got into... Like over use of "..." too!

    I guess when I end a sentence making a point, but could also be opening a question!? <--- Grrrrrrr!

    Shouldn't the "?" technically come before the "!" ... ???

    When I was in first year uni, living in res, we noticed that people walking by our kitchen window were always looking in - so we made a sign that exclaimed "WHAT YOU LOOKIN' AT!!!???" ... and on one summer's eve, a passer by (no doubt a student of English Literature or something) huffily grumbled "the question mark should come before the exclamation point".

    I've forever since put the "?" before the "!"

    I'm also a big fan of ellipses ... but you already knew that ... sometimes I just wanna write a stream of thoughts as they strike me.

    ...

    As for 400 Days - yeah, I'd definitely play it.

    Admittedly I've not been bothered enough to go back and replay the episodes as a total bastard - I did so for the first two, but the replay value wasn't so hot for me in the end. I really enjoyed playing them the first time, but it felt a bit slow and repetitive the second time through (and only so I could be a bastard to see some slight differences) ... you can change the direction of your story, but natually there's a limit to how free your story can be. Certain things happen at certain times - static points that are unchanged - so it just becomes slight tweaks to this or that ... which kinda watered down the 'choose your story' hype for me.

    Anyone hear any buzz or early access reviews on this? I had some suspicions about the possible quality the way they just sort of shat this out in no time flat for a release in between season 1 and 2, but if it's got a good story I'll be up for it, especially since I was such a complete sucker for season one's drama and voice acting.

    yeah, i'm quite guilty of the "...." thing myself.

    as for the game and it's price, 5 bucks is less than i spend on many other things, and i really enjoyed the first one, so this is an instant purchase for me.

    Sorry if it's annoying, but I regularly trail off in real life. Drives my kids nuts.

    Also, can't wait to watch my kid play this. The first was the tits!!!
