Forums - Gaming - So I am Moving to the UK ... (HALP)

hmm, you may like it, although people who have lived in North America think the UK is a bit of a downgrade. Of course, there are things in the UK that are better than NA.

As for your 360, you should use this guide to see if games will work:

Also you can continue having a US account and can actually still get access to your games and sales in the United States marketplace. Generally you should be able to buy games but sometimes it may not work because you are not in the US. I would change your account's region to the UK if I were you.
You should chat with MS support if you have more questions. They are generally quite helpful and answer all your questions.

I myself am moving to Canada next month and my 360 is a PAL console.

Why would you choose to live here lol.

There are parts of the UK that aren't so bad.  And honestly, as an American, I see opportunities in the UK that don't exist here.

I'm a nice part (rural Lincolnshire) and it's still bad. I would go back to Texas if I had the chance.

Damn Rural Lincolnshire. I don't see what's wrong with it really. Easy access to the M1 for travel to the rest of the country, you're never far from a river, a wildlife park or the coast, and whilst there's not the biggest hubs for shopping, there's still a fair few good places within reach (I'm thinking Scunthorpe, Gainsborough, Lincoln etc.)

Then again, I never lived in America, so I wouldn't know what it was like.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Don't forget to drive like in Burnout (on the left).

Whatever the English may say:



but that IS a discusting breakfast...

LOLAGE!!! That's alright, I would happily eat that for breakfast. We do eat this stuff but I can totally understand how it looks disgusting to foreign eyes.

It's weird, but I promise you that if you were born and brought up in the U.K you would be made to feel hungry looking at that image.

Having been to America I can confirm that your breakfasts are a lot better. Especially the Latin American breakfast with those burritos and spicey potatoes - I could eat that every day.

To the OP I must warn you, you will be disappointed by the customer service here, you will likely be disappointed by the weather here, you may well be disappointed with the food here and it's not as friendly as you might expect. Hopefully you will enjoy the humour that gets us through it all though, along with the safe knowledge that your neighbour is very unlikely to own a firearm.



Too much planning, and you'll never get anything done.

So much wrong with this.

1. Too many beans.
2. The hash brown looks like it has been trod on.
3. Mushroom overload
4. Don't even know what the black things are, should not be there.
5. Egg not been fried right, looks like been dropped or something.
6. Not enough bacon.
7. No chips (controversial opinion)
8. Where is the fried slice?

I can agree with most of that, aside from 7. The black thing is Black Pudding I beloeve, but that looks like it was dropped on the floor.

There's no toast either, and too few hash browns for me. If this is what people think it looks like, no wonder they're put off by it.

No, the insanity is that once cookies were biscuits here in the US.

Nabisco = National Biscuit Company.

The cookies they made were called biscuits.  I forget the how biscuits became cookies, but our biscuits now are kind of like scones, but oh sooooo good. 

If you're ever in the Southern US, get Biscuits and Gravy.  Your heart will hate you, but your stomach will be oh soooo happy!

Or if you're already in the US, go to a restaruant and see if they offer Biscuits and Gravy, with a side of Grits.

Wikipedia blames the Dutch and their word koekje.  "When Europeans began to emigrate to the United States, the two words and their "same but different" meanings began to clash. After the American War of Independence against the British, the word cookie or cracker became the word of choice to mean a hard, baked product. Further confusion has been added by the adoption of the word biscuit for a small leavened bread popular in the United States."  -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscuit

I grew up in the South, in a family that had homemade biscuits (bread) with every meal.  Biscuits with steak gravy, with turkey gravy, with fried chicken gravy, with pork chop gravy, and best of all, with roast gravy.  Oh my god, roast gravy with potatoes is heaven.

Do the English have breakfast biscuit (bread) sandwiches?  Because those are excellent, especially from Bojangles or Hardees/Carl Jr's.  If so, what do they call them?  I'd hate to live in a place where I couldn't get a steak or a chicken biscuit if I really needed it ...

Depending on where you live, you can spit in any one direction and hit a single store an acre in size.  Actually, a Wal-Mart is 2 acres, and were not even talking the car park.  A big box retailer is an impressive show of American capitalism.
