Today I learned that I can read German somewhat without hardly any prior knowledge.

gaming language uses some english words or words similiar to english. as example they say multiplayer but in "real" german it would be "mehrspieler". or "sound" instead of "ton/klang".

and then there are the words similar to the latin stuff like "animationen" which you say "animations" to.


Well it also help that German is one of the base languages that became English. English was the result of a Runic Language (Orginal English), German and French all cooking together in Great Britian's early turblent years.

yeah i know but in the pics i posted there is really a lot of stuff which is almost the same in english or german or something which we just say in english for games. if you would read a normal text you would find less of these similarities. i can also understand swedish, dutch and stuff^^


I put the stuff in more for FOX than anything. I just grabbed your response instead of scrolling back up.

OT: While doing some research on the French occupation made me remember that Henry II wife was deeply involved with events that became the story of Repunzel.

Eleanor of Aquitaine was a very strict wife. (Who was married orginally to Luis the Fat of France) and she had a castle in France that I visited. The castle was built over the water with a tower with one window at the top. That was where Eleanor would imprision the mistrisses of Henry II where some of them died. I had pictures of it, its kind of a nice castle. That was the roots of where the brothers Grimm came up with Repunzel.

 

That's on topic? *looks at OP*

Anyway, I did know that English has some roots in German (among other things). Now to not continue wrecking this thread.

OT: Metascore predictions, anyone? I expect 80s from quite a few launch games. Maybe a 90 if Little Inferno blows everyone's minds.


Sorry I though OT was off topic.

I do not know what is going on here?

Cannot believe there are not more reviews yet.....


Still too early.   1 week in advance is one thing but 2 weeks?  Not for aconsole launch.

Remember that media outlets not only need the new games, they need the new hardware.  And many times that new hardware may have UI, OS or other software issues that may not be remedied until launch day.

Fuck Gamepro, I hate germans anyway.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

IGN will review Ninja Gaiden November 13th - next week. And NSMBU and NintendoLand on the 15th (I think)



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I can't believe that I'm excited to watch them open a box.  What have I become?



Viper1 on 07 November 2012

I just want to point out that any review already written is being based off an incomplete experience.

Neither NSMBU nor NintendoLand were reviewed with Miiverse integration and other features.
