Nope - "but good" is a definite American colloquialism being used here.

Say what? I'm American, and I've never, ever heard anyone say that, ever

For example, Google "[censored] but good", complete with quote marks. 1,060 hits; 9 of the first 10 employ the idiom. If I am inadvertently filtered the first word in the quotes also means "donkeys".

Trivial one in 25-30 Mutation, just for a change. I notice a big difference between the arcs which just have the ordinary sorts of mistakes anyone might make in and the arcs written by some unknown X who has no clue about punctuation.

If anyone official is reading this (aha) they might want to find X and start proofreading their work.

Did I say two? I meant a veritable untapped fountain of typos. I'm starting to suspect the same person wrote Lansdale and Bocor - the scattergun commas are very familiar.

Nope - "but good" is a definite American colloquialism being used here.

Back after a hiatus, and what do we have? Two more Lansdale typos.

Got Tyrant, and another apostrophe.

Noted.

Further browsing on the rich typo fields of Mr Bocor.

Focused Accuracy; description has a redundancy.

And one for Thugs in the character creator.

A couple of typos from Hellions in Galaxy.

Added the Thugs.

That's a bit harsh but certainly someone who did a lot of CoV never learned about the apostrophe.

Another typo from Lansdale, and 3D Sound apparently has "Dopler".

Bridger - or anyone - can you confirm that anyone at Cryptic or NCSoft will ever read this list? The state of Phalanxer does not inspire confidence.

Fresh new issue, fresh new typo from a Skulls Girlfriend.

Guess what, Phalanxer isn't fixed. Someone does read these items... right?

You'd hope so, but then /bugging Phalanxer in issue 3 - more than a year ago - hasn't got it fixed. Part of the problem with /bugging, therefore, is that I don't know if I've already /bugged the same typo.

Sure, these aren't stability issues, but 90% of these could be fixed in a minute each - plus, I guess, a minute interacting with a source code control system.

Added the Terra Volta bombs.

Brimmy's comments illustrate, I'm afraid, why I gently encourage reporting a typo when spotted with a direct quote rather than from memory. Do those Skulls really say "oh no its -heroname-" - missing the capital, comma, apostrophe, and full stop? Do they actually say "-heroname-" with hyphens? We want to make it easy for some QA guy to grep for the error.

Any idea where that plaque is?

Agent Six's camera and the Ghost Ship. I just hope someone actually reads these...

Bounce Back inspiration.

Seer Marino and Citadel.

Vahz dialogue in Faultline, and a mission text goof for 15-19 Mutant.

Added "already" ... "currently", "string", and Infernal's name in Founders' Falls.

Um. Why do you feel that's a typo?

Pinned down the "Archon Archon Maurillo" problem.

Think I may have to await a direct quote on the Pantheon one. I'll check out these guys in Atlas - I always start in Galaxy.

Added the Longbow one and the Arachnos bots. I presume Galvanised is a power?

Added a few of my own from just an hour's play. I despair gently of the magnitude of the task.

K - yes, I report typos and they don't often get fixed - my personal record is Phalanxer from issue 3 - but I hope if we assemble a sufficient list, someone may actually refer to it when producing patches.

Do they really? I've never seen that, although perhaps I just missed it. Do you play with the profanity filter on (wondering if it ties into NPC dialogue)?

Under what circumstances do you see this dialogue? I'm curious now.

[I know there's the odd "freaking" out there, but we just have to live with that - well, it'd be nice if the profanity filter _did_ tie into NPC dialogue, so with it off the NPCs would say what we all read it as anyway.]

In fact, someone who worked on CoV contacts simply has no idea about "its" and "it's". Cryptic do employ a proofreader... right?

Few more including a double helping in one Bocor briefing. In fact, Bocor's a rich vein of goofs just waiting to be tapped.
