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
