The latest game I bought, Civilization V, cost me 400kr a few days after release.

Civ V is a computer game. If you play exclusively on the PC, that might explain why games cost less for you than they do for me. If my memory serves me right, console games tend to be more expensive than PC games, right?

Every time I watch Top Gear, and they're on one of their insane challenges in Japan or whatever, I always wonder why Aussie public transport is so crappy. I mean, it's just beyond ridiculous.

STOP SAYING THAT FUCKING WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only play on the PC, but a lot of my games have console versions as well. It may also have something to do with the fact that Civ V is the first game I've bought within the first week of release.

Live in the Netherlands. I wish we had hills and woods.

Sane politicians (and voters) would be sweet, since now we have a right-wing extremist taking up a massive amount of power.
It'd also be kinda cool if we adopted English as official second language - although I understand they're working on that in our capital city of Amsterdam already so we could be headed there eventually.

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

You don't have Reese's? Oh. My. God. I'm sorry.

I actually can't really think of anything at the time. Maybe the lack of biting insects that I hear the England has (according to my cousin). That would be nice.

I live in the U.S

I want Sweden's metal bands, Japan's anime and video games, Europe's history, and Fast internet.

 

[Arsen]

festivals that have good music besides pop

You're just not looking hard enough... Check out All Good or Gathering of the Vibes... the lineups are always awesome.

Metal festivals specifically. I saw Primus at All Good (year of Ween, Black Crows, Anastasio) but overall we never get any bands from Europe that I love. Nothing I truly enjoy and prefer overall is ever in the lineup. Everything caters to some hippie fest or indie rock concert. I wish they combined the sub-par rock bands with metal acts so that they could actually tour the States. But that'll never happen giving the mindset of how people view "rock" these days.

Punctuation is always nice.

Spelling as well, because, "What things have you sean heard of or experianced..", I can't respond to that because my name isn't Sean, though my brother could answer I guess.

--------------
The only one I can think of is that I recently found out that the BBC in the UK, doesn't have commercials, that in the UK, you guys pay for some kind of TV license and boom, no commercials. Is that why when I see adverts after BBC shows advertising when the show will be on next, that the shows never start at the same time and at weird times like 7:20 or 7:25.

A country who doesn't call you a terrorist just because you think the government is corrupt and that the economy is failing. I enjoy the U.S. but we as a nation are damn stupid some times.

I have found that Canadian breakfast sausage is vastly superior to American breakfast sausage, in both flavor and texture.

I wish America had less Crazies like the rest of the world (We have the most people that believe in Conspiracy Theories from Hitler's Death to Kennedy's Assassination to Presley's Death to 9/11... Only a matter of time before the Conspiracy of M. J.'s Death Surface!). That or a Free Form of Health Care would be nice.

The rest of the world has plenty of crazies. An unsettling number of Russians believe... something that has flown giggling from my brain for the moment and it is killing me that I can't remember.

 

[Isaac The Grape]

Where the hell is my free healthcare America? Where is it!?!

Up the arses of your republicans for a reason I can't fathom.

Are you referring to the Russian people voting Joseph Stalin the 3rd greatest Russian in history? He was only third after the presenter of the show implored people to stop voting for him after Stalin leading in the polls for several weeks.

No, that's perfectly understandable.

I think we might have an answer. But let's stop this now. Just look at the rest of the thread. Virtually the entire second page from here and up is filled with just uss two discussing the price of games...

Yeah, let's just end this before the moderators gets pissed at us for derailing a thread.
