Why so high?
Drugs ain't healthy for you..
But seriously, $41,65 for shipping 4 shot-glasses and 2 shirts to Europe?
I think you could sell alot of items to us customers in Europe, but the shipping-costs are a bit extreme. You guys should consider bulk-shipping to a storage facility in Europe, and get someone to forward it to us.
Or.. Move Telltale to Europe. Imagine scantily clad Swedish girls who serves you delicious cold drinks.

That is what you get for living in International Land. Also, for using imageshack instead of Imgur.
It's still depressing to know that 'regularly' stands for 'once in every three-four months'.
Scantily clad Swedish girls are nice, but then I'D have to pay high shipping, and we can't have that
That's rich coming from the fella who lives under the Atlantic Ocean with all the mermaids
It wouldn't be DEPRESSING to begin with if it was too often
This is a good idea. TTG should have a European distribution center that they send stuff through.
I know you were being sarcastic, but still only certain Republicans are stupid enough to be that narrow minded (several of whom I know, as I live in a very red state.) Rush and Hannity don't count. They only say such foolish stuff to get ratings, no telling if they actually believe any of it. (edit: though if anyone is dumb enough to take Rush, Hannity or Fox News as truthful, then you're dumber than Patrick Starfish.)
You do sound, however, as though you hate this country. Everywhere in the world has idiots. America is no different.
Fixed.
Unless of course you are also adding Canadians and LatinAmericans, which is also true
(sorry.)
I dunno, that's less time than it takes for them to release another season, and I really only need to order things when a DVD is ready, and even then I'd rather wait for there to be a few of them. So ordering once (physical goods) a year or so seems plenty to me.
If they start making more games so that there is a new DVD much more often than every 4 months, I guess it might be a bit different, although then I wouldn't have much to order at a time and I'd probably feel bad for ordering just the DVD each time.
Remember never say something like that when you are in a place in LatinAmerica, or else you are screwed.
The little forumer inside me don't mind. The little nacionalist inside is trying to make the little forumer mind. It's actually pretty annoying.
The point is, America is a continent. Not a country. So, everytime someone from USA say he/she's from "America" by meaning his/her country (USA) we feel like he/she pretty much mean we don't exist or they are the owners of the continent or whathever, so, we get offended.
In my mind, I couldn't care less. I can somewhat understand why, but my heart get furious and want to kick some asses, so, it's always a mixed feeling.
Good for him if he believe his country rocks. Some countries need people like that.
(Incidentally, I read some tips for Travelers who want to come to Chile. It's fun when you read about yourself but for other people. I was surprised about the fact they tell to you here you can't bribe the police. I was all "You can do THAT in other countries?")
I can understand that, but isn't the US in a different continent? If anything, the canadians and maybe the mexicans should be more offended, given they are in North america. That is, if you count north/south america as different continents. I'm not saying that they don't have a right to be offended, it's just a little odd that the canadians aren't (don't know about the mexicans).
Other countries can be offended by the terminology aswell, but thats just american patriotism in general.
We talk about that in other thread =P. In LatinAmerica teach to us America (Which is compose it by North America, Central America (That's different!), the Caribbean and South America) is a whole continent. All the parts.
Now, I don't know why Canadians don't get offended, but we do for some reason. I think Mexicans too. Here we have a ton of Shared History (Argentina get independant almost at the same time as Chile, by the same guys, for example), so it's like we are the same but different or something.
Really, personally I couldn't care less about how you call yourselfes, but it's something in the air which make me mad or something. I guess is the thing we thought of us as Americans, but, if you guys remark your country is America, what the hell we are then?
Sorry, I promise I won't do that again, really. But this thing of the Earthquake make us more Chileans than ever. Maybe it's that!
Friar > the way I see it (and the way I was taught) America is North America + Central America + South America. So using that word to mean "part of North America" just sounds weird.
But Ginny, when I took some Spanish classes, I was taught "to say you're from the US, you say 'Soy Norteamericana'" and I remember finding that offensive, too, I was all "so what, Canadians don't exist? Or is it exactly the same to them if we're from the US or Canada?"
I prefer saying "the US" and "USian" if possible, be it only because it's a lot less ambiguous. But yeah, although I understand that it's frustrating, I often fall back into saying "American", because in English there isn't really a word for it.
It's difficult, because all the other countries in the American continent have names. But the US has America in it's name, because we don't have an actual name. We're just the united states OF the continent of America. So it's a little weird.
Canada isn't Canada of America, and Peru isn't Peru of America (if that makes any sense). So I think the reason American is the default term for people in the U.S. is because we don't really have any other term for us. When was the continent named America? I'm trying to remember when that was considered the official name. Was the continent called America before the colonies? Or after? Or at the same time?
The official name for people from USA in Spanish is "Estado Unidense". At least here.
That's why I call them North American in English. That could refer to Mexicans and Canadians too, but I have no choice since that word in English do not exist. Oh, well...
Like I told to Avistew, we HAVE a term for you guys, even call you "United Statians" make no sense.
I get that, but why keep the part that's the continent, and not the part that's specific to your country? You're the United States. Of America, sure, but it so happens that there are no other United States, so as far as I'm concerned, it's much less confusing than saying America.
You can even just say "the States" and people know what you mean. But America means something else so it's just weird that you seem to pick the one part that's completely ambiguous.
I think even "Statian" would be less confusing. Sure "state" means country, but when you say "the States" everyone knows what you mean. Kinda like when you say "the pill" people know which you mean even though there are thousands of different pills in the world. Because the others are just pills, this one is "the" pill.
Same with the states. Other countries are states, too, but this is "the" States. So there is still a difference. While America and America are the same, so how am I to know if you mean the continent or a small part of it? And how can "North America" end up being bigger than "America" and include it?
I too say "North American" often, but that's because I include Canada (a lot of things are the same in Canada and the US, especially from a French point of view). I never saw it as insulting to Mexico because I was taught it was part of Central America and not North America.
EDIT: Incidentally, in French "États-Unis" for the country, "états-unien" or "étasunien" for the adjective.
How would anyone have thought it was a good idea to name a country and a continent the same thing? You would think they would have separated the two early on.
Just to be careful do not to say that in a LatinAmerican Country, or else you are screwed. Or at least no one of the people who hear you will like you in anyway...
Nobody asked your opinion, Parasite. That being said, what is your opinion?
Yeeeeah, South America loves us!
It's my opinion that when King Trident hears of your underwater utopia he won't be best pleased. He'll probably relocate those ugly ass deep sea fish with the lights attached to them and other undesireable underwater miscreants to Rapture and its surrounding areas in an attempt to bring down real estate prices and damage Raptures equity. I suggest penning a glorious musical number to offset any potential market damages.
Also, Rather Dashing's a damned flagburner who hates his country
Oh noes, wikipedia.
It's a little depressing to know that people think we're "forgetting" about the other countries in North and South America by referring to ourselves as Americans, rather than simply recognizing that there are different terms for it between the two languages. We call ourselves by our country's name. There is no feeling of superiority involved. The continents and their people have different terms (North America/North Americans South America/South Americans) Why can't we all just get along!?
