Heh yeah I'd be interested in seeing that steampunk conversion. Please post!
And Yes. Absolutely.

Oh, cool. ^_^ I'll put up pictures when I get it finished. It's coming along nicely, but I've got a list of "remember this for next time" stuff.
Any thoughts on Warmachine MKIII?

I actually started a thread on that subject in my gaming club. I'm on the fence. The few people in my circle who have Warmachine armies don't really play, and finding pickup games isn't my usual thing. So do I upgrade, or do I take this as a sign to sell my army?
I'm on the fence.

I'm planning on buying it.

I seem to be one of the few internet peoples excited over it, rather than already fussing over it. If they had some sort of pre-order program, I'd probably do that actually, since I love the fluff and the models outside of the game. Actually, I'm sort of looking forward to being around for an edition change; Now I can say "I was around for MKII" in ten years. XD
That said, I can understand. I think I read that they will be releasing the core-rule PDF's before the actual book release, so you might be able to scan through it and see if it influences your decision.
Under the sink is a dark place, full of horror and mildewy monstrosities?

Good to know about the PDFs. Thanks for the tip!
It is my home.

Suppose you had a GitHub project that was pretty simple (Say a plugin for something), but your readme was confusing because (Hypothetically) you aren't so great at English. Suppose someone out of the blue makes a pull request to the project that cleans up the readme and makes it more legible.
Would you feel offended?
Long story short, I've been tinkering with Unreal Engine 4, and it has non-existent Joystick support. But a German Computer Graphics researched made a plugin that adds Joystick support! Except his English is pretty terrible (Misspellings, improper grammar and punctuation, and random German words scattered throughout), so I had to spend about an hour trying to decipher what he had written. He seems to understand English fine, but he can't seem to write it. I re-wrote the Readme to be clearer, and improved the Markdown formatting, then made a Pull Request.
Yet still...I feel like a bit of a jerk for essentially saying "You suck at English" but at the same time, I don't want someone else to stumble where I did. Did I do the right thing?

I think you did the right thing. People who share their projects WANT for people to be able to use them and by cleaning up the English, you contributed to that effort. Most people who are writing in their non-native language are self aware enough to know they aren't perfect at it, and welcome correction as long as it's friendly and constructive. If you're concerned that the author might be offended, you can always write him a little note to say you were only looking to help and meant no offense.

Malitol is one of the greatest substances known to mankind?

Malitol is the artificial sweetener that causes explosive diarrhea/voluminous flatulence when you eat "to many" (more than half of a single piece) sugarfree gummies. Having experienced the effects firsthand (so
that's why that package of candy was on .$99) I now want to purchase a bottle of the stuff and slide it in various consumables to share...coffee, cake. Sweet tea would be amazing, since you'd probably not taste it.
That moment when you finish a TV show, and regret that it's over?

If you ever want to kill some time laughing like crazy, read the customer reviews on amazon.com on the Haribo Sugar-Free Gummy Bears.
Yes... it is a terrible moment.

Depends. Am I in charge of the team?

Sure, why not?
