Lil do one on the over usage of the emdash. Every essay I have to edit has an overabundance of these. I admit that I'm a fan of them as well — but they can be used way too often. Yes, that was on purpose.
One does not want to overuse anything, not commas, not dashes when used instead of commas, and, especially not, that delicate flower of punctuation: the semi-colon. I often have students who over-parenthesize when a comma or dash will do. I see that as a much more egregious offence than over-dashing. I can see the overuse discussion being part of the three bears series (in due course). Hey 8bit, I was catching up on your gaming blogs earlier tonight. Do you take on a particular voice or style in those blogs?
Hmm. I suppose. I think I assume you already have some knowledge about vidjagames in general, and I try to write on things that haven't been considered before. I don't really know how to do blogs, though - sometimes I treat it as a sort of game-journal, sometimes as a panel to ask questions, or to connect my experiences with games to experiences with other things, like traveling, or school. I think when the year starts I want to try some sort of weekly or biweekly feature. But I don't want to turn the blog into a job, either, haha. edit: so many commas I'm sorryyyy
