Title: The Game Boy line is HUGE, and a lot of people still forget the space.
Post by: JonLeung on January 27, 2006, 08:45:41 AM
I'm one of those people that get irked when people have errors in their writing.  Like confusing "you're"/"your" or when people put "should of" instead of "should've" and etc.

Yeah, I'm a spelling fascist.  Being on Internet forums probably aren't good places for me to be on if I took it any more seriously.

But I'm disappointed in those of you here, mostly fellow Nintendo fans, who forget the space in Nintendo's most successful line of products.  The Game Boy.  Not the GameBoy, not the Gameboy.  Game Boy.  Two words.  Game Boy Advance is three words, not two.  Ever since the first Game Boy it's been two words.  Every time you start up your Game Boy or Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance or their variants that can play Game Boy games, it clearly reminds you what it is.

*dling!*  *"GAME BOY" appears on screen*

See that?  Two words.

Someone once adamantly refused this to me.  He said because it was one thing, it should properly be one word.  He was pretty insistent on that point.  Yet I'm pretty sure no one ever considered calling the NES the "Nintendoentertainmentsystem".  It'd be confusing to play Nintendogs on your "Nintendods".  He probably enjoys "videogames" while the rest of us enjoy "video games".

Seriously, people.  Quit messing up Nintendo's handheld line's name.

Jon's right.  I used to think it was called GameBoy until Bloodworth opened my eyes about six months ago.

It's Game Boy unless your name is ThePerm, in which case it's Ga mBe oy.

But it's not nearly as much fun pointing out your well thought-out posts as it is pointing out your typos.

The term Game Boy is both sexist and kiddie at the same time

Don't feel bad, it's not that no one wants an autographed copy of your music.

It's just that no one wants to give you their address because no one trusts you.

I'll have a copy. I'm sure it'll break new lyrical ground with amazing content.

well um you cant just HAVE a copy, you didnt win, stevie won but he didnt claim his prize.


But no its apparent to me that nobody here even likes rap music so why should I even bother trying to get y'all into it its not worth my time theres better ways to promote my stuff, which I am certainly doing, but I just thought that the people here were cool enough I would talk about my stuff a little bit, but I am trying not to get banned right now so I have to be careful hwo I go about talking about my music anyways.

Well ok so which is it Gameboy or Game Boy agian I alreadyf orgot since we got off track.



Also does anybody else ever just call thier DS a Game Boy or do y'all purists have to call it a DS?




And I agree for the most part most rap music out now does suck, its the stuff from the early days to the infamous G-Funk Era that I like. Not even all of it just the good stuff like DPG and 213, Run DMC beasstie boys, and so on.



And yeah I got a better mic now my first cd wasnt as good as it could have been, I got better equipment now so I am makeing some new stuff that is gonna soudn more professional and I might go back and remaster my original cd and maybe re-record some tracks.
