Er... you're usin that proverb wrong man.

The point of that proverb is that it's a military convoy, the dogs are barking... yet the military convoy gets through.


In my country there is a different meaning. The point is dogs can't stop the convoy. No matter how loud and furious  barking is.


Right... because they are just the watch dogs.  The people who want to stop the convoy (disaster) have to listen to the watchdogs to do so.  I don't think it has a different meaning in your country so much as your going with the wrong proverb.  That one is a variation of an ancient arab one

"The dogs bark yet the Caravan still moves on."

Caravan being different from Convoy in that a Convoy is usually used in a militaristic fashion. 

While a Caravan is more often seen as a non offensive group of traders.  This would be the one you would want to use to try and insult him but sound intellegent doing so.  Of course the problem with the original of course is often times said dogs may know something about the caravan that others don't.

Which makes the analogy to use because dogs are really better then most people at detecting a few things... most importantly in this case they are better then most at finding...

 a bomb.

So you kinda set yourself up for a witty counter in using that proverb.  Which is why it wouldn't be the best to use in this situation either.

Though I personally thing Heavenly Sword should be a good game, It being short for an action game is a bummer but I don't find any action games worth full price anyway.  I need more then 10-15 hours playtime to justify full price anway.  It'll be a great game for me when i pick it up used somewhere for around 15 bucks however.  I imagine it'll be an above average game.  A 7 isn't really a bad review.  If it gets as many 7's as it does 9's that'll give it an 8.  Sounds about right doesn't it?
