say I have a @user.role string. where the string is like 'rescue_group'. How would I turn that into @user.rescue_groups ?. I mean @user.role = "rescue_group". @user has a plural collection of the same name as the role. So, I want to do something like @collection = @user.#{@user.role.pluralize}
<ddd>
the reason for this is role can change, but role will always contain the singular form of @user's attached collection
<drbrain>
Who: crazy
<ddd>
so I want to turn that into the attr name to call on @user but in a way that I can get at the collection
<ddd>
i weas trying every permutation i could think of of ruby interpolation with no luck.
<drbrain>

drbrain: I just have one question though, how do you finish so many games in a year? I have been struggling for the past two years to play games and even if I start one I usually give up in the middle (when it becomes challenging etc) most of the time
<drbrain>
I'm picky about what I buy
<drbrain>
I also don't do much multiplayer since I don't have a large group of people to play with
<ddd>
try playing Borderlands if you have an xbox 360
<drbrain>
I don't think I bought more than six games in the last year
<ddd>

ddd: FF 13 didn't have a good storyline
<drbrain>
ddd: I don't think I've finished any of the FF games I've played
<Who>
actually which FF had the best storyline
<ddd>
because most are about entertaining the kids which jus want to blow shit up
<drbrain>
they're so long
<Who>
hmm
<Who>
FF 6 had the best one
<ddd>
I liked FF3 i think it was. The one where they introduced the Chocobos
<Who>
ff tactics war of the lions also had a pretty good story
<Who>
my first FF was tactics advance
<Who>
so I kinda like it as well
<Who>
on the GBA
<ddd>
I was Combat Arms in the Army, so I tend to stick with the war-type shooters, or the Quake and Quake-like.
