Japan, baby! It's great being a PC Gamer in Japan because the Internet is terrible and no one speaks English and wait, it sucks. Seriously though, these guys are nuts about consoles and arcade games and I think it's fucking fantastic. I might do a little iPhone video tour of the Sega arcade nearby sometime. It's like 6 stories or something.

I have been to Hong Kong. Amazing place.

Beer Republic. Country of origin of the only true Budweiser (the one that actually tastes good). I can't just vote for "other" that would make my country look unimportant! ... now seriously. Czech Republic is so small and uninteresting that won't find it on most of maps.

Thanks! Finally I can vote!
The only reason we have wi-fi here is that cables usually get stolen :-)
We do get quite a lot of tourism lately. Word got out that partying here is really good. Alcohol is cheap, clubs are non-stop, local girls are pretty and everybody is benevolent to drug use. When a local guy wants to go out for a party, he can't find any free table as British guys are having their bachelor parties just everywhere.

That's Hungary which is close enough. We used to be one country hundred years ago. Most festivals here are concentrated on beer and/or metal music.

you ready for this ?

I was born in the US, New Orleans Louisiana. Yet since my father is Spanish. Spanish Laws dictate, if your son is born on the moon,  but your dad is Spanish, your son is still Spanish. So i AM Spanish (from Spain, NOT Mexico) yet i was born in the US, where i spent the first 2 years of my life.

My father was the General Consul of Spain married a Norwegian woman (sexual attraction, not thought out decision) , so... we then moved to Spain (2 years) then to Berlin Germany (6 years, we were IN Berlin when the wall was torn down), then Hong freakin Kong (3 years), Spain again (2 years), Munich Germany (5 years), Boston MA (2 years), and then i moved back to Munich and ive been here ever since cause im freakin TIRED of moving so much haha.

so yes this, logically i speak 3 languages....
AND i make youtube videos IN 3 languages (http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=773.0)

You dare to talk about WW2? Do you even history?

You mean that russia that was (almost) allied with Hitler until they realised that he's just using them for his own needs? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact) (the plan went wrong, didn't it?)
You mean that russia, that when war was about to end, had their army wait just before warsaw so that all liberatelly thinking people die? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Uprising)
So you mean the russia, that had their best heroes from WWII executed after the war? (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A0%D0%B5%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%B8_%D0%B2_%D0%A0%D0%9A%D0%9A%D0%90_1937%E2%80%941938)

No, please, if you wan't to say nice things about russia, don't talk about the second world war.

And the vietnam? Do you even know what happened there and why? I suppose not.

I'm glad that here, in Czech Republic, the scholar system is (obviously) better than in russia. Even though russia has made severe successful attempts to destroy it.

Hey Darker, thanks for participating in this thread. However, I don't think Thracian's message was meant to be taken seriously. I can understand that as a czech, you have a beef with Russia as a whole, but Thracian was not involved personally at any point in russian meddling in central europe.

That being said, I'm sorry Thracian's message made you feel bad to the point of using a red larger font to answer, I'll monitor his messages more closely in the future to avoid such incident.
