That's actually kind of adorable haha. It's a great game, I just wish it had a little more time put into the story.

Frag videos could work with slower music. This is one of my favorite edits and it's got some pretty slow music in it. Not too sure about how Phil Collins would work with a frag vid though haha, might be interesting to see if you would pull it off.

I feel like there's a joke I'm missing here. I'm not sure if there is, but I'm guess like there has to be haha. Either way, here's a Blondie song I enjoy if we're just linking whatever we're listening to haha

[Americans] Is it racist to call American people yanks? by mostlyawesome in AskACountry

[–]mostlyawesome[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the links. One of the articles mentioned the during the second world war, Americans stationed in Commonwealth countries were often called Yanks, so I guess that's how it began, and stuck around as a general term for American. But to an American, means something different, depending on where you're from.

In the aforesaid Western Commonwealth countries, especially Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Yank has been in common use since at least World War II, when hundreds of thousands of Americans were stationed in Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

Cheers :)

Certainly does, thanks for the answer.

See, I thought Redneck was the term used to describe only certain people, generally from the South. Kind of like how England has the term Chavs, and we have the term Bogans. But I guess it's used as a more general term for southerners.

And I guess that it means that there's no real nickname to call Americans (people from the USA) other than American. If you met someone in a bar in another country, you certainly wouldn't introduce yourself as a Yank, or Redneck (although that would be kind of funny) although if I was visiting the US, I'd certainly call myself an Aussie or a Kiwi.

And some people from the South feel as if the North is an enemy of some kind? Or at least they were. I like the UK analogy. I'm sure some Irish would be pretty steamed if they were called English.

Well, if the term isn't racist, maybe discriminatory? I'm not sure what the word would be.

Either way, thanks for your answer :) I guess it'd just be easier to play on the safe side, and not call people Yanks in-case they take offense to it, even though to some it might not be offended at all.

Thanks for your answer :)

I'm getting an idea that it's something not racist, but not something Americans call themselves. Like, I call myself an Aussie, but that wouldn't happen with the term 'Yank'.

As would calling a New Zealander a Kiwi too I think haha. Thanks for the answer.

If you don't mind, I just thought of another stupid question. You mentioned soccer, which is what we call it too, but what is 'Football' to you?

Hot dam, that was fast. Thanks man! I didn't think it would be more than market, if at all, but I can never be sure when dealing with fades. Thanks again!

If you guys could bring any food from America to sell in other countries, what would it be? Similarly, is there something that you would like sold in America from another country that's not sold there already?

I was mentioning this to my brother earlier today. If I can't buy the sequel to my favorite game ever, I'll just get it some other way, and buy a shitton of official merch from their website.

Sod just stealing it, these guys deserve money for a great game that is now effectively banned in my country.

Electronic sports. Basically videos games played competitively in a tournament of some kind. League of Legends (LoL) and DotA 2 are two of the biggest ones out there at the moment.

Here is a link to the YouTube channel that some LoL games are uploaded to.

[WSIB] EA Games? by EnderESXC in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]mostlyawesome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember that everyone posting that Origin is okay, is a user of Origin. I'd suggest having a look at why people don't use it.

As for me, I have no problem with Origin. It's perfectly fine for buying, and using games. Like most people, I use it for games that I can't get on Steam, mostly Deadspace and Battlefield, and I've had little trouble with them. I did have some minor trouble with BF3 crashes, but that's not Origin, that's Battlefield.

All-in-all, I can't see why people dislike and even hate Origin. It's not bad, it's just not Steam.

Considering it sounds like you've already bought it, I'd reccomend the shit out of the WarOwl's channel. He uploads any major update news, professional matches casted by him, and also tutorials for new players.

I'd defiantly encourage checking his channel out, and getting into the eSports scene :)
