Blogging from new iPhone = Bad grammar?!
So my last posting was indeed composed on my new iPhone, via the WordPress app, and required that I go back to correct atrocious grammar and spelling mistakes on my part,
I apologize to everybody for the irony of doing a piece on interactive fiction that featured such terrible mistakes. lol
While the sheer convenience of being able to blog from my phone is a real breakthrough in my life (I have been experiencing a severe time cramp lately, being also an artist), and in fact unquestionably aided me in getting that previous post out almost a week early, I will be more vigilant on going back and double-checking everything in the draft before publishing it. I believe that all the other distractions occurring around me contributed to this.
Despite what most people think: The human brain really can’t multi-task. Studies have clearly shown this. No, not even women are better at it.
I just feel so embarrassed. lol
Especially when somebody like Joe Pereira compliments my post, and he is a teacher and devotee of IF as a form of educational gaming (oh, you really must visit his blog: He has awesome information on IF, as well as actual lesson plans for using them in the classroom! Click here to zip on over.)
Also, I just now realized that I completely failed to talk about Level 9′s IF games – I’ll get back around to them. This series of posts about IF was most certainly not definitive, but more of a primer on the history and current status of the genre as a whole.
Anyways, take care everybody.
P.S. You can also download Frotz as an app on your phone, and play IF games via that!

Retrogamer, thank you for the compliment and for the fantastic plug! As you wrote in your last post, the quality of modern IF is staggeringly awesome – thus giving us the duty, as video game players and IF afficionados to tell (and re-tell) the world at large about them. BTW, I didn’t notice any mistakes in the post – and I’m an English teacher! DOH….
LOL – Well, that makes me feel a bit better about myself. Thanks. =)
