"The princess and I" is grammatically correct...
So you would say "The king was murdered right in front of I!"? Because that's an easy way to determine if you should use "I" or "me".

"Really? You think they're not going to look in the summer home?" -Well it worked pretty well for the team in Avatar: TLA.

Not when used in a prepositional phrase. You don't say "right in front of I," do you?
Granted that English is my weakest subject... and American education system to be rather sub-par... but I was always taught that "*name* and me" is just incorrect.

And frankly speaking, "Right in front of the Princess and me" just sounds wrong to my ears. And who are you going to believe? Whoever taught you English; or my ears?

Think about that one for a moment...
'me' is the object form of the first person personal pronoun. 'I' is the subject form. A standard past tense sentence follows this structure:

(verb2)

... with verb2 being the past form of a verb (e.g. had, was, spoke).

In this sentence, "It happened right in front of the princess and me.", 'It' is the subject, with 'happened' being the past tense verb. 'in front of' is a preposition, showing the location of 'It', with the object being 'the princess and me.' Hence the use of the object form.

People often correct you at school because you mostly say "Me and my friends went somewhere.", with you and your friends being the subject, which should be, as you say, 'My friends and I'.

It's basically a case of the person teaching you English not explaining, or most likely not understanding, the rules of grammar in this case. But hey, if you don't like the sound of it, don't try to change yourself. It'll just become part of the unique structure that you use to communicate with, giving you an identifiable style.

After all, most music these days use "You was" which is only causing headaches for English teachers, and there's not that many of us in the population.

I thought this game kicked ass. Although the difficulty curve was totally out to lunch. Thanks for another great episode guys!

Type B... of course! I knew I recognised that voice type from somewhere

But that knight guy also had a high-collar built into his armour... so much for that theory.

And am I really wrong or is the evil queen holding a... spanking paddle?

Nobody commented on how much those two not-evil/stupid (but still unobservant) knights puffed their chests when they talked? Their shoulders were bobbing like crazy!

I have that game, and I've played it a lot. It's fun to play and fun to make fun of.

At least this game didn't use crappy English dubbing with totally flat emotions and improper emphasis. Instead it used crappy Japanese voice acting with overly dramatized emotions and bad directing. ...Well, maybe that comes out a wash.

its weird,I was thinking the other day about Deception and how underrated that series was, then Unskippable does this, I wonder how Trapt ranks with the PSone games.
Pretty well actually. It really continues everything good and bad about the series. Horrible control and camera issues. Pointless and entirely (sorry guys) skippable cutscenes that if you chose to bother are faaarrr too long. And gameplay so fun and viscerally satisfying that the flaws cripple nothing. I can't recommend this series enough (except for the first game, which was unplayably awful.) It's really like watching mst3k while playing a game where you get the ridiculously lethal and evil section of Wile E Coyote's Acme catalogue and use it to torture, maim, and murder a long list of foes... and the more drawn out, brutal, and ragdolling thru the air Rube Goldbergian you can make someone's death the more points and money you get.

You can't have more fun without a kiddie pool, a fridge truck, and gallons of jello and vodka.

I'm throwing in "the Princess and myself" for the hilarity as well!

If you say so, I'm just saying I've seen fans before and they weren't the first thing that came to mind...
