This week's been a little quiet on Socoder.
Between half the members playing Animal Crossing, and the other half doing final exams and stuff, it's all been a bit chaotic, and there hasn't been an awful lot of time to focus on the coding.
.. I hope.. Either that or everyone just got sick of the thing, and left.
.. Could be that.. Hmmm.
Of course, the inevitable danger with putting together one of these newsletters is that you'll sit watching loads of stupid random videos, before realising it's already 2 in the morning.
D'oh!!

; Something Not Quite Right
Sometimes, the cause is very strange mistranslation, sometimes, some games are not a very accurate translation. The company provides the translation of a rat's ass loud tends very recently, you do not have to do a lot of sillyness. However, even Welch was interesting to see the sillyness.
Here's some classic misinterpretation of days my game is really how many translation companies do not provide for the monkey is. bit.ly/17NDnoM
; 180
If only Microsoft had announced this, last week. I could've made a great big deal out of it, what with last week's newsletter being #180, and this being a complete wuss-out on their behalf.
Aw well..
Wuss-Out ahoy!! bit.ly/15kFTfq

; Animal Crossing
It's fun to walk around aimlessly, hunting for bugs, and plucking weeds from the ground, whilst thwacking animals with your bug-net and randomly smashing rocks with a shovel.
..apparently.
.. Wait, is that all it is?!
Why is this even a game!? socoder.net/?topic=3540
; Whatever Happened To...
I used to have a weekly PixelPaton section in the newsletter, but for the past few months his usual regular blog posts seemed to slow down, and hardly a word was muttered on Twitter.
This morning, I found out why!
PixelPaton made a real life Pixel Paton!! t.co/kvbeWZZEhB
