Somewhat more mysterious is a piece of content labeled only as "Something Special.." which as the description "..wait for it!"

[I]t looks fairly straight-forward: finger moves cursor, and the buttons down the button handle interaction and inventory.

I'm assuming here that "handle" is being used as a verb, since iPhones don't have anything I would consider to be a "button handle," though if it did, that would bring other grammatical problems in this sentence. My question here, though: What's this about "buttons down the button?"

The download only game, developed by DICE, launched on July 8 for $15 and included a map and mode that had to be unlocked through the communal effort of everyone playing the game.

Compound adjectives like "download-only" should be hyphenated.

A New York state Chuck E. Cheese's is on the verge of losing it's game room license because town officials think the video games at the location are too violent.

This one comes in on the other end of the its/it's spectrum from the article I posted earlier today.

Super Mario Brothers has been a success and the industry, which in 2009, can have more than a million consoles sell in the U.S. in a slow month.

Kotaku's Stephen Totilo used this sentence to set the scene for a retrospective look at news from 1987. It's simply an incomplete thought. "And the industry what?"

It's like Tourette's, only with typing

RIM says they had nothing to do with the update it, and are telling affected people how to get rid of it.

Apparently, someone at Gizmodo thought it would be neat to just include random words in their article.

From mental_floss

A highly entertaining article on its own merit, this "Weird Week in Review" from mental_floss is not without errors:

The blob was first observed neat Wainwright and moved toward Barrow, where samples were collected for testing.

Surfers at Gilgo Beach on Long Island found 20-foot shark lying on the beach Tuesday.

Looks like someone forgot how to use articles!

Oh, Kotaku...

Are there more villains lurking within the walls of Arkham Asylum that we've been told about?

This of course tells up absolutely nothing[.]

How cliche can you get?

Here's another its/it's debacle:

While the source material and it's use in a game still doesn't sit well with me, the setting is rich, deep and, if you trust this video, being fully explored.

Also, the compound subject here is plural (source material and its use), requiring a plural verb.

Later, the article finishes with this sentence;

Now about those Doggy-Style enemy creatures.

While it is apparent that the author is trying to mimic speech patterns, this is not punctuated correctly. The correct punctuation for such a thought trailing off is the ellipsis.

It's Alive!!!!!

It's been a while since I've posted, so I've got a bit of catching up to do. Here come some Internet errors, rapid-fire!

The rest of us, who were paying close attention, sort of half smiled and though "oh, neat" to ourselves before going back to work.
