I think to cover all the back story and and get people into the story is to kinda do what Japan does with some of their manga. Just create a big volume book with issue 1-50 in one set and so forth. If not, put one story arc into a volume. One of the things that holding me back from picking...

I was surprise by the replica ADAM gun. It was well put together. The parent's did not look like gamers but the little girl proved otherwise.

Last year, during Anime Expo, someone manage to capture the a shot of Little Chun Li wagging her finger at the camera. It was quite an adorable shot and it had the great gaming cosplay vibe going for it. I took that as a great photographic challenge. To find a little girl/boy who's parents...

Any old NES game. I remember playing Megaman 1-4 with relative ease. Played the demo of Megaman 9 on my PS3 and got my ass rocked... I'm afraid to buy it because it might be frustration inducing. R-Type is another bastard game.

It seems that a lot of Chieu-Chow families tend to lean towards Vietnamese for family usage. This probably because a lot of Chieu-Chow people are centered around south Vietnam or the southern countries(Malaysia/Cambodia). I've been told that there's a of Chieu-Chow speakers in Canton and...

Nice to meet someone here who knows it. It's like discovering gold when you meet someone who speaks it =p

It was a good movie, not really as great as people make it to be. I know its suppose to be fake, but c'mon alien spaceship in a 3rd world country and nobody is aftering it? The way I see it, it's actually something worth going to war for. There's tech for the war hungry, a new language for the...

Really depends on the person and environment. I took 3 years of Mandarin in college and I only know how not to get lost. I can't really hold a conversation beyond talking like a kid. This is mainly because I had no one to practice with nor was I in a position where I was forced to use it...

That is the most awesome thing I've seen today!!

You should learn a game language like uh... Al Bhed. That way, when you tell your friends that you know a gaming language and they ask if it's C++ you can say, "Al Bhed!! ************!!". But I guess Nechti (poster above) is better off then we are. =p

I think school is only good for the basics. In order to fully comprehend the language I think you need to be thrown into the culture where its kinda like do or die.

Anybody use transitional languages to learn another? For example, you can somewhat cheat learning Cantonese/Taiwanese/Hokkien by understanding Mandarin.

Aww, no Klingon? Would seem fun to say you also know an alien language =p

Aside from the US, it seems a lot of the secondary languages are learned through school at an early age assuming you grew up using the country's primary language. For example, you grow up in China using Mandarin, you go to school and you learn English making you bilingual. The reason I say...

Just out of curiosity, how many languages can the individual members of the escapist speak/understand? I'm pretty sure there's a lot of bilingual people here if not trilingual. How did you go about learning the language? I have a few friends who learned the language just by watching a crap...
