Because I most certainly do. This man was the highlight of my entire Fallout 3 experience. Those who've played the game might know that there are multiple occasions where you face the ghoulified remnants of the Chinese communist forces left in the Capital Wasteland, who are all automatically hostile. I have an uncle in the People's Liberation Army, so that made slaughtering the lot of them all the more fun.
He wasn't my favourite uncle.
Anyways, these Chinese Remnant ghouls do speak Chinese in the game. Putonghua, to be exact... or Mandarin to ya Western capitalist pigs. Most of the time, they sounded exactly as I would've expected from a game produced by primarily English-speaking developers - absolutely hilarious. Whoever wrote the voicelines probably wasn't Chinese.
'Scheennkhhaiii wharmen wa hallelujah'
'Hsscheeng chuu whu wa schway'
Oh my god now that I take a listen to them again they sound like Rieklings.
At least the ghouls had the excuse of being stuck in America f... less

Honestly, that, I couldn't decrypt in a thousand years. All I understood of the mouthy guy was 'fockin', 'focka' and maybe a 'bastard'. From the other guy, I got 'leave it alone'.
I am extremely surprised at how well I can understand those Scots. I got pretty much everything except the slang. The subtitles make me confused though.

I got pretty much everything except the slang. The subtitles make me confused though. It's like listening to readings of Middle English; I can't read a word of it, but it sounds like English with a strong accent. Might be my everything-but-the-kitchen-sink blood. XD

I've got mock exams starting in two days and the real thing starting on the 9th of May. A-Levels sucks! I'm also part of the last batch of this Psychology syllabus, which has been revised and made easier just last year, so I signed on precisely one year too early to the nightmare that is A-Level Psychology.
How are you holding up in your life? How's work going?

Another member doing A-Levels. I was in the same boat as you mate, just missed the 'easier' syllabuses. But then I repeated the year so now I'm all good. What other A-Levels are you doing?
The WingYou put easier in apostrophes; is it not actually easier? Is my Psychology teacher lying to me to make me feel like an unlucky loser? It's working.

Is my Psychology teacher lying to me to make me feel like an unlucky loser? It's working. Be glad you don't have to sit through 9698/32 because that is frankly garbage. Although, how do you feel having only one sample paper to guide you through the types of questions they'll be asking of you?
I'm also doing Biology and English Literature. Biology this year is an utter nightmare but Literature is the easiest thing ever. Love it. Don't love W. B. Yeats though. Getting sick of that guy. What about you? What other subjects are you taking? less
I'm caught between feeling sympathetic and feeling devastated... but if I know anything, it's that sometimes you just can't take so much of everything at once. And you have a million of everything going on in your life. I'll miss you for certain...

This was hilarious to read and should actually be an in-game item. And unlocks new recipes, the products of which kill you instantly upon consumption. :D

But if I had to choose a language that I'd just know, probably Urdu, which I'm surprised no one else has mentioned actually. There's a massive, massive Pakistani demographic in my city and it'd be nice for someone other than themselves to talk to them in their native tongue, plus it sounds awesome and fancy. And there's also the fact that if the lads down at the local curry house like me they might give me a discount, and as curry is amazing this is the highest priority.
That's gotta be the first time in my life I've ever heard anyone call Urdu 'fancy'. I might just be biased because I'm a Pakistani and know the culture a bit too well, but good grief do I find Urdu ugly and crass. It and most of the other wacky languages we have over here. I don't know much Urdu, but I know no other Pakistani langauge so I try to hear it in all of them. Big mistake. Pashto is one great big mind bomb.

When I load a blog page, I cannot post comments or add likes to other comments because they get into an endless load cycle. But reload the page just once and it's fixed. This has been happening since I got back a few days ago. Does anyone else have this problem?
The Wing
Hmm... Well, I would automatically attribute it to the internet if it didn't fix so immediately and suspiciously on the first refresh, every time. :/ Thanks for telling me.

No, Wings, you´re not the only one. Though this happens to me mostly while I´m on phone, very rarely on PC.

No worries, I'm just glad it's not my internet being a strange jerk.

Wow, I might just be terrible at distinguishing between styles, but otherwise you guys have done a really good job blending your writing into one consistent voice. I didn't notice any seams at all in tone or narrative. When you're writing collaborative chapters, do you pass them backward and forward often to let each other review and make edits to what you've already written?

By ES logic, every child should basically be a clone of the mother! And everyone would be dead! Clearly not every gene is the mother's, but there's also no universal 'race gene', unless ES just made one up. :P Darn it, I failed at moving on.
About Me
There was no sight of him. The only figures breaking through
the fog were the Old Mothers. These mangled gargantuan trees
loomed like ugly crones, disfigured beyond their very nature.
Their trunks were thicker than a hundred thick men; their skin
was quilted in gnarls and warts and dripping with moss; their
arms were twisted at awk, painful angles. They were sick,
furious with delusion, protecting a curse born from the blood
of a wound to the ghost.
