No no no. Chinese is written always from left to right. (or from top to bottom)

Thanks for the info ghostman! I didn't know that Hebrew was included, nor was the Hieroglyphics (sp?)

[Frenchfry]

Hm... I must have it confused with some other language with freakishly complex characters. I'm gonna go check the book I read that in.

What book is it?

The 'Left-Hander's Handbook'. Apparently it's a hella lot easier for a left-handed person to read and write from right to left. I know it's true I normally get my index finger covered in ink whenever I write, because my hand is going directly on to the words seconds after I write them.
...Anyway, English is about the only language written in a fashion totally biased against the left-handed, though that's been long forgotten, and nobody ever bothered to fix it. Egyptian, Japanese, Chinese, everything has some kind of breaker that makes it even... 'cept English, and a few others.

[Jerry]

Hm... that's news to me...

[Frenchfry]

On an unrelated, I just previewed almost every foul word there is to see the 'censor', and I gotta say, the words Chansy and Sexy Man were put to great use. The PU team is even cooler now.

[Jerry]

Yeah, I know

A friend of mine is moving to Australia in 2 days

I'll be missing him...

Apart from that, it's been a tough day today, all rush from the morning.

Oh, I got the Pikachu event for the Japanese version. I didn't know that the nature of Ash's pikachu was 'naughty'
It's not that good of a nature though... increases attack, decreases special defence. I would have preferred adamant instead. Raises attack and lowers special attack.

[Marissa]

Sorry for you lost.

Congrats on your gain.
Pikachu event?

[Frenchfry]

T.T Australia... is that far away? My brother moved to florida a while ago. he Coast Guard sationed his ship at the oil spill.
Oh, big news for anyone who hasn't heard. The spill in the Gulf was plugged the other day

[Jerry]

Yes, it was 'sealed', but the question remains... for how long? And with the strom coming, BP 'fled'

Thanks Marissa. Well, there will always be the net...

And yes, there was a WiFi pikachu event for japanese HGSS and DPPt, and the pikachu is supposed to be Ash's. It's nature is 'naughty'

[Frenchfry]

Well, If it stays sealed for a week, it should stay sealed for a lot longer, too.
And good riddance. Let BP handle less urgent spills, like the kind that comes from a broken coffee mug. I'd rather have the government be the head of cleanup.

[Jerry]

With the changes in underwater pressure (due to underwater currents and tides) it may or may not be affected. Any woo... yes, I'm more concerned too about the environment. The clean up should be sped up.

[Frenchfry]

I'm just saying that the longer it's down there, the harder it's gonna get for the currents to move it. regardless, I'm sure that they're working on an anchor for the plug right now.

Oh, and I just looked at all the screenshots of the game, which I hadn't done since I joined about four months ago, and wow... I knew the game would be awesome, but the screenshots made it look even better than the nintendo-made games, which is particularly amazing because nintendo has millions of dollars to spend on development, while PU is doing it for free.

[Jerry]

Lol, glad you likes them!

Except for me... there is a constant lag of 0.5~1.5 second between each step my char makes. But I don't mind, so far, so good!

Only thing that bugged be a little was that the game was freezing once in a while. I haven't tried it again since the new patch was made. Talking of which... I'd like to get another try... hm... maybe this week itself or next week.
