pimpmonkey2382.313: No need to make fun of our english, they do it all the time anyway. :p


On a more serious note, not trying to offend or anything. But I wonder why brit's say they gave americans/canadians/etc their language...when those that came here with it came from there, so technically they/we already had it, wasn't given anything. :P
I noticed :P
Well i guess you have to ask that the Brits ;)

ddickinson: I think often it is the publishers just not being willing to make more than one version for Europe. And I know it is not just German who gets things censored, I was just using that as an example for South Park as that is one game I could recall off the top of my head.
Yes. They are to lazy and/or want to save money. But Germans are the most infamous for censorship.

Anyway. Think i'm going to sleep now. Need to get up again tomorrow. Good Night everyone and see you tomorrow :)

CarrionCrow: I'm doing my "they're going to give me stuff, and I'll feel like a selfish ass if I don't give them something in return" shopping. Can't stand all the ritual around the end of the year, I just don't like taking stuff without giving stuff back. Thankfully it's only for two people.

They're all right, until you slowly descend into madness while playing them. I'd forgotten the full scale of how much of a cheating bitch the last boss of Puzzle Quest 1 is.

Poor doctor. They'll have to take their god complex and apply the thought of them being the best thing to happen to medicine since penicillin to someone else.

Willing to bet that quite a few doctors think about getting paid and not getting sued primarily. Total mercenary outlook, not giving half a shit about anything but going through the motions.
I hate that, feeling obliged to give gifts. The curse of being too polite. :-)
Me and my partner never really make an issue of things like that for Christmas and birthdays. Of course we get each other things, but then we do quite often all year long. But it is never an issue of point scoring or anything like that. I have never liked the whole forced gifting stuff, the ritual stuff you mentioned. With my family it is kind of a "if you get me a nice gift then that is great, if not then no problem. We don't need some commercialised thing to know we care about each other."

Some doctors do seem to have a god complex, a believe they are superior for some reason. Some seem so set on the whole medication aspect, they almost forget that the body is very complex, and the mind plays a big part on getting better. You summed up many doctors about going through the motions. Luckily with the exception of a few, I have not had too bad a time with doctors on a whole.

pimpmonkey2382.313: That and I think we still use some archaic things that were in use when we came over, etc. I don't take any offense but I never did understand the "we gave it to you" statement. lol
I honestly have never even heard people say "we gave it to you" in reference to the US speaking English. Is that something you hear often? It seems a strange thing to say. I mean, many of you are/were British, so of course you speak English. Some people are quite strange.

Mainly with Brits I've spoken to online for the most part, I've always wanted to reply "What did you guys do? Drop it off in a package?" :P

Though my ancestry isn't british, so I'll help you tease American English. :P

Of course they are. That is where ELT lives. And we all know things are always his fault. :-)

Goodnight, sleep well and pleasant dreams!

Not a bad idea... But I'm not smiling at the moment, and I don't like to lie ;-p

We did write the first dictionary, so maybe we posted it to you. :-)

I would think most of Americans are not descendants from just British people, at least not fully. Most are a mix of all over the place, and not just from Europe.

That is a same. What can we do to put a smile on your face? Are you ticklish? :-)

Yeah mine are french and spaniard for the most part. Also have some family from deutschland.

ddickinson: Thank you.

How are you enjoying Wasteland 2? Not a game that really jumped out at me, but people seem to really enjoy it.
Yeah, it's starting to become a very relaxing game to me. Lots of character skills to develop, funny things like animal taming and toaster repairing. Lots of crazy and funny people. Avoids the "same-old-same-old" stuff quite well, even though there is a certain amount of "hero tries to save the world" going on. But yeah, I can understand it can get a bit boring with the turn-based tactical fighting and such, sometimes.

But being able to name your pets is fun. And trying to keep Frank the goat alive in the gunfight ;) Somehow he tends to survive, lucky boy!

There is no good answer to that question. Whether I say yes or no, people will tickle me...
Well, you got me to smile at this point, so I guess it doesn't matter :-)

Me = 25% Czech (my maternal grandmother is full-blooded Czech), heavily Swedish on my dad's side, with some random bits of English speckled in here and there on both sides :-)

It is interesting hearing how many places people from the US come from. Given the population now compared to back in the colonial days I would think very few Americans are still technically British.

Guess it would depend mostly on what part of the USA they come from.

NoNewTaleToTell: Howdy y'all, how ya doin'?
Honestly... Rough evenoon for me. Once again, my head hits my pillow and my brain says "Hey! We're not done yet! I need to bother you some more!" At this point, I'm actually beginning to dread going to sleep, because it just gets more difficult each day.
Sorry... You were the unlucky recipient of today's random AgentB Ventilation Session™ :-p

How are you doing, N2T3?

How long do you think the game takes to fully complete? It looks like a nice lengthy game.

That is a great name for a goat. :-)

YAY! *puts away tickling feather*

Apparently the laughing when tickled is actually a fear response. That is why we can't really tickle ourselves so that we laugh, as our brain knows we are not in danger.

That is true. So does that mean all the non-British Americans just stole the language? Maybe that is it. We did not "give it to you", you just stole it. :-)

I still find it strange people would sat that. But then as I said, some people are strange online.
