Do they? As a German who speaks fluent English, I can think of only one colleague who speaks any English at all. I'm a physician, and my brother works for Daimler in Stuttgart, he also has MAYBE one colleague who speaks any English. I'm not sure what "professionals" you're interacting with, but in either of these…

Solomon Grundy just wants a decent pair of pants.....yours.

Hmmmm.... will it allow a cloud sync with my home pc if I sign onto another pc somewhere else though? It'd be awesome if I could have access to my home music folder via steam on my smart phone or someone else's pc. (without having to utilize other apps)

There were some awesome Mechwarrior pods about the same time that thing came out that were fucking great. It was an entire mech cockpit that opened up to give access to the pilot's chair. There were joysticks to move, speed levers, a joystick to control the pitch of the upper torso, and a left/right control for the…

I likely should have prefaced my comment with the fact that I'm German. But I agree, my last name isn't traditionally German either, yet my family goes back to before WW1. My commentary wasn't to imply that there aren't other cultural spheres within Germany, merely that as a German I wasn't aware of his ethnic origin…

Oh, I'm aware of the Turk situation in Germany =D (I say situation as, well, it's one of those "complicated" issues) I'm a kraut myself of Serbian/Czech(Bohemian) descent, I just couldn't place the type of name. Thanks for the clarification =)

I'd agree that I'm not interested in THIS tech, but I AM interested in the tech that follows it. But I feel the same about the WII's motion controlled games, they just don't appeal to me. Give me a holodeck, and I'd be down.

I wonder what his country of origin is, the version of Skyrim he was playing was in German, but that name certainly isn't. That's not to say he's not from Germany, just that the name isn't.

I had "some" in there because I wasn't specifying Taiwan by itself.

I would fully expect anyone from those countries to take the stance that China is full of shit =)

The remark was aimed to point out that much of the region has roots due to all of it being part of larger empires over the course of history.

Well, according to some Chinese government reports, they still claim Taiwan, Korea and Vietnam are parts of China. I can't say with any accuracy when the last time they officially updated their stance on that as it's not something I keep up with, but I know within the last decade they still believed those territories…

Indeed. And regardless of how toxic the environment is, people who've never played bag on the game or feel the need to say they don't like it, just so you now know, they don't like it.

Hm, no word on localizing more games solely for the wiiu that would make people want to buy it? Shame.

Hm, using anime or games might be a risky example in my mind. Anime and games are generally geared to appeal to a harem style fantasy. While I agree that they may be some of the only examples of polyamory, they aren't exactly the most healthy examples.

Ultimately I have no issue with polyamory so long as all members…

The term blanket statement exists because you're not focusing on specific examples. Your post was used as an example to make a broader comment. If I were to analyze your own personal situation, I would be asking you questions about your relationship. But that's not the case, I instead was using what you said to give…

I believe he was referring to the actual in game ship insurance that covers most anything but a titan.

I believe that line of thinking warrants some introspection as well though. If you're having to be "pulled away from a game for sex" I'd ask if you're spending too much time with your hobby and ignoring your SO. Is it the hobby the SO doesn't respect? Or at they resentful of the fact that you put the hobby before…

Nah, Korea and China do make anime, they just admit that it's subpar to Japanese anime. Anime in itself is just an abbreviation of animation, so "japanimation" makes sense as a conjunction of japanese animation. You may not like how it sounds, or even the use of the word, but connotatively it makes sense. It helps to…

I like eating raw potatoes, there's just some things that we enjoy that, while are normal to us; are in reality not so normal.
