    Unravel Preview - Hands-on With the Most Adorable Game of E3

    I apologise if I've been sounding confrontational, either way. As a Swede myself as well as someone who is studying game design, it was hard for me not to take it as an attack, if indirect. ^^' Just, please, think of what you say, because the remark sounded really racist. I'm willing to drop the...

    Unravel Preview - Hands-on With the Most Adorable Game of E3

    "They"? That's pretty vague. And how is it bad to be progressive? Sweden's not being in-your-face about it. It's other people being in-your-face about Sweden being progressive, and most of those people are American (probably). It is in fact a HUGE social taboo in Sweden to be in-your-face about...

    ...why on earth is "Swedish" a strike against him?

    Unravel Preview - Hands-on With the Most Adorable Game of E3

    I've actually seen fanart of this guy. As early as yesterday, actually. The internet adores him. And no, I don't mean Yarny, I mean Martin. It's kind of amazing, really. At least it's a nice and fluffy kind of amazing for once.

    United Kingdom Privilege (NSFW)

    Combining two words you can do in any language, sure, but it's not always "legal" in accordance to grammatical laws. It is in Swedish. Write dicknugget as one word in an english text editor and it'll complain. Write, say... nötjävel (nut-devil. It doesn't need to make sense) in a Swedish text...

    United Kingdom Privilege (NSFW)

    Quite. It makes being Swedish on the internet extremely frustrating. I have at least 500 ways to insult someone in a classy way, but only about 5 ways to do it in English. It has irked me on more occasions than I can count.

    Oh yeeeees you can. It would be an extremely specific insult, but hey. Why not? Would be helluva mouthful, tho'. You'd be surprised by just how many word combinations end up sounding like insults.

    United Kingdom Privilege (NSFW)

    Hehe, same here. I'm from Sweden, and the Swedish language has this beautiful and extremely handy trait that lets you combine almost any two words to form a new one. It opens up a whole new world of insults. :D Heck, we even have at least one song that is entierly compsed of one long string of...

    Artist Mixes Comic Book, Movie and Cartoon Icons In Brilliant Mash-Ups

    I... don't recognise what number 14 is supposed to be, but it looks inappropriate somehow. ._.

    Anyone write Fanfiction?

    My fanfiction writing has kind of tapered out, sadly, but I still try to write. I have several project that I am working on, even if it's at a snail's pace. My most popular fic is Journey of a Lilmothiit, which is a crossover fic of Naruto and The Elder Scrolls. There is also Wilden, another...

    Feed Dump: If Only We Had Tarp

    Correction: The Ice hotel is in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. Not Russia. Felt I had to point that out. Unusually calm Feed Dump today, or am I just imagining things?

    On the PC Master Race and the Language Police

    Fancy as heck, but a pain to say. The term "Master Race" simply flows better on the tongue, and that does matter. It matters a lot. Maybe the "PC Highborn" or the "PC Nobility" would be better? Regardless, the term "PC Master Race" is a bit too deeply entrenched in gaming lingo to change at this...

    Roll For Sass! Check Out These Out-Of-Context D&D Quotes

    One of my favourite D&D moments has to be when the shaman in our party realised that the act of summoning and dismissing his spirit/familiar was a minor action in the middle of a horse chase. (this was fourth edition) So, during a single round, he summoned his familiar twice, right in front of...

    Unskippable: One Piece: Unlimited World Red - The Seven Seas Got Weird

    Like I said, it's a matter of personal preference. I was referring to both the subtitle and language issue with that line. And, well, Canada is part of America. When I say America, I mean North America the continent, not the USA specifically. ;)

    Unskippable: One Piece: Unlimited World Red - The Seven Seas Got Weird

    It's a matter of habit and personal preference, I suppose. The Funimation dub isn't bad, per se, I just vastly prefer the subbed version, and I suppose that since I'm not from a primarily english-speaking country I'm just a lot more used to subtitles than the average american, so I'm really not...
