why dont game developers hire behavioral psychologists that specialise in game play behaviour, i think it would be a better approach to hire someone with specific qualifications for the problems you are trying to solve instead of trying to figure out things that you need a phd to understand
Is it true that a lot of Americans find British accents attractive? If so, I may have to book a holiday. Lord knows, I'm not getting so much as a sniff over in ol' Blighty.

Dashing's going to kill me for this, but, very much yes. British accents are a one-way ticket up the ladder to impressing a woman. Not all, mind you. but many Americans find western European accents attractive.

Tally-ho, hey ,what, what. That's pip and dandy, I say.
Just be warned, a small subset of the population will just come up to you and start talking in fake British accents because they think it's funny. These probably won't be the women (unless it's me).

Hmm. Most Americans absolutely stink at doing a British accent. They seem to take their cues from Dick Van bloody Dyke!
And just so you know, "taking the mickey", "daft" and other British slang are not things many people in America would understand. The only reason why I have heard them before is because I've read the UK version of Harry Potter (thanks to the superior audiobooks by Stephen Fry.)

I honestly never knew that such phrases were uncommon outside out Britain. A fair few Americans seem to have picked up on "wanker" these past few years, though it's often used in the wrong context.
You have to admit, a word like "bangers" which refers to sausage, does sound like it has a sexual connotation (especially when a bunch of guys hanging out together has been know to be called a "sausage party") even though Wikipedia seems to say the origin of that slang term has to do with the popping noise sausage makes when cooked.

You're only just noticing the symbolic connections between sausages and sex? Really?! You don't need to use the word "bangers" to make that connection.

No, I'm not just now noticing. But don't think Americans have slang terms for food that would immediately make little kids giggle.
Thought I'd send Ron Gilbert a screenshot of my game since it's an homage to Lucasarts games. Thought he might get a kick out of it. He didn't say anything about it, so I can only take that to mean he hates it and wants to take soup spoons to his eyes lest he see it again.

Don't take it personally - sounds like it hasn't been a super productive day.

Despite the fact that I'm sure that you're (mostly) joking; the grumpy one must receive endless fan mail and requests to look at this, that and the other. I wouldn't read anything into it (if you ever did at all). Anyway, who knows; maybe he'll get in touch yet.

Yes, it's the ballet performance. I've already read through The Nutcracker.
At least it's nice to look at.
That's okay, I've got a middle-class Southern accent. America, here I come.

EDIT: or are you just daft?
No, not this. Gods.
He's certainly taking the piss.
And this is annoying as fuck all.
I wouldn't say that I'm taking the mickey, just being playful is all (by extenuating my Englishness in a stereotypical manner).
Pretty much.

Now then... "yankee doodles"???...
...
Who says that?!?
Not me. I take my cues from Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw.
I love his voice five times over.

That was kind of my point.
I take it you don't have 'toad in the hole' either?
We call that "piggies in a blanket".
Also, I take my English accent cues solely from Rowan Atkinson.
Isn't that sausages wrapped in bacon (that's what we mean when we say "pigs in a blanket")? If so, that's not the same thing as toad in the hole.
Faggots in gravy, anyone?
(Responsible for me bursting out laughing in a London supermarket)
Pigs in a blanket are more like bite-size sausage rolls. Toad-in-the hole has a much greater pastry to sausage ratio.
Do you mind watching your language please? I find the use of words such as "gravy" and "spotted" to be highly offensive.
Spotist!
Nope.
These are "pigs in a blanket" (neither I nor anyone I know irl says "piggies"):
I approve.
'Sightseers' is highly overrated.
Reviews incoming soon.
That is all.
Then we preemptively blame you for the great bacon famine of 20X6

Aye, old Waltz's performance was every bit as exquisite as his turn in 'Inglourious Basterds'. If I were gay, I'd marry him!
