I have some great expectations. More than I would like to have.

Mrs… Er, will call her BITCH_E. BITCH_E wants the entire English class to read Charles Dickheads', pardon me, Dickson's Great Expectations. Fine, whatever, I am a decent reader.

It's 550 pages.

So, as usual, I was negative towards the whole thing. (For those who don't know me well I am a dangerously bad cynic when it comes to new things, see my blog on GM7. O_o ) So I of course started on her. She says "Take out the big book." I make a show of extracting Great Expectations from my book bad. So this went on and I think she actually got mad at me for a minute there.

Another 'Great Expectation' I have relates to something more desirable. Yesterday I submitted my Metroid game, as promised. It is more of a demo as of yet, so I hope people treat it and rate it as such. There is not too awful much in it yet, in fact the Morphball is a bit buggy with the new door system, but nonetheless I think it will all work out well in the end.

So maybe I'll get a nice rating, maybe a 9. I'd like that. But people are more cynical than me when it comes to games mimicking real video games. So I tried to explain that it isn't even close yet, but I'm still gonna get like a 5 or 6 I know it. -_-

After putting up with a lot of crap from IE, I decided to get FF. So here it is. As I type I already notice a very nice new feature; Spell check! So here are the positives and negatives:

Plus (+)

_____________

• Spell check

• More secure (supposedly)

• Comprehensive password field recognition/remembrance

• Similar display to IE, less coping.

• Field remembrance: When you go to a page and return,

——-form data is preserved

Delta (Δ)

_____________

Only appearance glitches:

• When using the middle button pressed scrolling, if you click outside the displayed web page, you stay in scroll mode

• Does not change cursor in that scroll mode

• When you go to drag highlighted text, does not change cursor to arrow from bar

So I'm gonna keep it.

I hope Metroid Prime GM, the also temporarily titled game, gets on the home page today. I have a giant-ass book to read.
