Hey David,

Just wondering if you can give us anything on your guess as to whether what you were shown of God Of War III has stuck to your vision of the story... whatever it is...

capital letters offend me... my family was killed by capital letters.

Thirst said...

Can't say capital letters offend me but it does come off as lazy writing. Caps for emphasis is useful to get your point across but used without any purpose is useless and potentially confusing as in the screaming example.

Offensive no. Stupid yes.

Good addition to David's Video ;-)

I think the use of capital letters on the internet and reactions to it deserve a few academic studies !

Capital letters flip-flop on a lot of issues. That's why they cannot be trusted.

When you on a forum a lot like me, ya it gets bothersom. It disrupts the flow of normal discussion and conversation. It sux reading a WOT in all caps with little grammer or punctuation. It's just being lazy and it is still considered rude.

It's also a sign of communicating in an immature way so the OP loses some respect.

So if your on a forum trying to have an intelegent conversation and you want people to respect what your trying to say, use proper grammer and punctuation.

As an educated people I feel we need to bring owrselves up to this level.

NOW THINK ABOUT IT WASNT WAT I JUST SAID BETTER TO READ THAN A WOT THAT DOSN'T FLOW AND LACKS THE PROPER CUES IMPLEMENTED INTO THE WRITTEN LANGUAGE THAT HELP US WITH FLOW AND TEMPO OR WOULD YOU RATHER READ POSTS LIKE THIS ALL DAY.

Now what was easeier post to read and left you felling it was a good post.

David Jaffe said...

No Fear:

Two things:I was not going off on folks who want proper punctuation and decent enough grammar. I was bitching about folks who choose to equate CAPS with yelling. To me, this is brainwashing of the worst kind. There is no correlation between seeing capital letters and being yelled at. It is simply something- like the word FUCK or SHIT- that has been drilled into our heads (and in this case, it didn't take long) that we jump all over when someone does it without really thinking why it actually bothers us, if it indeed does.

People wonder why I cuss so much. There are a few reasons but one of them is that I think folks who get upset by words are a bit too tightly wound for my tastes so I try to either loosen them up or simply offend them to the point that they leave :) And it's fun to watch them get all huffy over a word :)

Take care man- thanks for coming to the blog so often! :)

I have to say, you single-handedly lifted a thread to "god" like status on GAF. (Pun intended). On a serious note, I just want to say, I love reading about your blog. Keep updating and DON'T LET PEOPLE DISCOURAGE YOUR PERSONAL PREFERENCES AND HABITS!1LMSADK, since you know, it is DAVID JAFFE's BLOG for a reason.

Jaffe: what's your opinion on the on rails flying levels in Gears 2? Do you still consider those 'buttery smooth'? I was having a blast up until that point...

I understand the reasoning behind the inclusion of these type of segments (like the Gryphon sequence from God of War 2) to vary up the gameplay, but when they feel slapped together like the Gears 2 flying levels do, I find it just makes you yearn for the regular gameplay instead.

Hi Jaffe, I really admire your work, but I just saw one commentary you did where you talk about the mother of someone sucking one part of your body. Well, look at yourself and think why are you talking like that, too much anger, it was totally unnecessary to use those words. Dont pay attention to people who tells you that talking like that is cool, it is not, and it is not good for your physical and mental health ether. I dont think you'd like to see one of your children using those words ever in their life.
Wish you the best.

Haha priceless. I for the longest time have wondered this too. Thanks for addressing the issue good sir.

Exophrine said...

The whole thing about capital letters = yelling is just stupid. To think someone is yelling just because they type in all caps is one of the highest levels of idiocy. Maybe the person typing in all caps just wants to have you pay attention a little more to what they typed, or even wants to be IN YOUR FACE a little more, as if writing text just isn't enough.

Good thing we don't have the option to make our text in a bigger point font or make our text bold or in italics because we'd abuse the shit out of that right about now, hahaha.

Happy Thanksgiving, David! Hope your family enjoys it! :)

On blogs like this one, or Kotaku, I only use caps to emphasize words, not to "yell at anyone". I've never really heard of people being upset by capital letters until now. But I agree with Avenard that it's annoying when people switch between uppercase & lowercase.

And my opinion on people upset by capital letters is this: if you're that upset of capital letters in blogs or forums, maybe you shouldn't read those blogs or forums!

Also, people probably use capital letters when they don't know how to bold or italicize their words. It's pretty easy: just do "less than symbol" b "greater than symbol" for bold or "less than symbol" i "greater than symbol" for italics before a word, and "less than symbol" "back slash & b" "greater than symbol" or "less than symbol" "back slash & i" "greater than symbol" after a word. I can't type the actual symbols because then it will think I want to bold and italicize a bunch of words! But some sites don't support HTML tags, so this might not work on those sites.

Anyway, another great video, Jaffe!

I fucking can't stand when people type in all caps. it's just fucking ugly. as a designer, it's fucking gross to look at. it just doesn't work in so much bland text. it's like...lower case, lower case, BAM! CAPITALS! it's an eyesore. what's this nonsense about brainwashing? please. the problem isn't people who are annoyed with people who type in all caps because they think they're yelling, it's with the people who type in all caps and equate it with yelling.

lol...honestly, it's just like when people complain, in GT, about posts made in "bold". That is just ridiculous.

I totally disagree with the showoff comedian in this video as he does not seem to have any common sense and swears in an attempt to get his point over. It is very tiring to read whole phrases in capital letters. The mis-use of this is usually indicative of people that are lacking in self confidence and expression.

I totally agree with what was said here-after although the repetitive use of the word "fuck" is just as bad as people that inappropriately use caps.
