Oh...I think Virtue can relate to the value of funny typos...

I recall a typo on his behalf...something about a guy who duct taped himself to the celing..;)

Cool. Thanks for relaying that to us codemonkey, gotta see if I can import me a copy now. :D

Didn't read that bit the same way as you Gradius. I think he was just trying to give an overall view of all the possibilities here at the academy, in what was no doubt a very limited space. I think they gave us 2 pages, which is quite a lot in magazine terms, but even describing the whole academy in the space would be difficult.

My first reaction to this was, "lighten up." The rooster typo was pretty funny.

But given the high-profile nature of the article, I also think Virtue has a point here. So let me state for the record that I mean no disrespect at all to the good folks at PC Gamer. I just got a chuckle out of a funny typo. I do not in any way disparage anyone who makes a typographical error, as we all do from time to time--it's just that this one was particularly funny. So the rooster avatar is staying for a couple days. :D

im guessing most typos were when it was changed from magazine to document...

Im sure the article would have been thourghly check for that sort of thing ... then again, you never know :)

Pretty good article, though, disregarding various grammatical/spelling mistakes, and other small details such as that Gradius pointed out.

Yeah I totally agree with Gradius on this. However, Gradius got his position by doing... stuff to/for the admins :P

Awesome stuff, but I hope they make some editions before it's printed (if it hasn't been already). This is the main thing that caught my eye:
Quote:
Newer students, can, if the wish, become Padawans of staff members of the site. They gain one-on-one personal training and guidance, and the chance to prove themselves if the want to be promoted

No, Padawans do not have a greater chance at being promoted than anyone else. They have the same chance at making Knight as everyone else, and the same chance to prove themselves. Yes, being a Padawan will most likely get you more advanced training than you would get in a class, and yes, you get more guidance on how to be a respectable member of this community or any other. But no, being a Padawan will not get you the chance to take Knight trials any sooner.

That sentence, among a number of spelling and punctuation errors were the things that I had a problem with. Other than that, it's an awesome article that will bring us lots of attention. Hurray for the JA! :D
