I agree with Trump in principle. But it’s hard to reach an agreement with a country who doesn’t need what we have as much as we need what they have. And I’m pretty sure I’m already going to hell, so I don’t think voting for Trump would have done my soul much harm. I didn’t do it the first time around, but I might step up this next time (not that my vote will count for much).Quote:

Anti Trump people often believe that only a very small amount of people voted for him, And that for some weird reason they still awarded him the win.Quote:

Strangely enough Dutch people do prefer their Movies/Games to not be dubbed in german/french, and seeing how I am Dutch.. it will make it harder for me.Quote:

As for Brexit don't worry, the elitist bastards in Parliament and in the House of Lords are desperately trying to reverse the decision made by 17.4million people in the UK back in 2016. I voted for Brexit but I had a strong suspicion that it wouldn't be allowed by the powers that be. The biggest democratic referendum in the history of Britain and the bastards are trying to block the verdict. Democratic country my arse! Oh shit sorry, I've accidentally started talking politics. A thousand pardons.

But with regards to Brexit, they're a lot of sh8T put around. The USA as no Trade Deal with the EU, it's not a member and doesn't pay a penny for access to the single market and yet we in the EU are able to buy products from Apple, Microsoft, Nike,3M, Nvidia, Intel, Dell, Google, Visa and use USA services like Facebook, Twitter, Fox, Disney Ect. With little issue of tariffs or where the tariffs are so low, they have no impact on the price much. The same was true for Japan, for over 30 it was able to sell goods, depsite no deal and when most of the time the Japanese goods were cheaper to what EU firms were asking (esspecially in the Electronic sector); Japan just done a trade deal with the EU.
Yet the PS4 isn't that much cheaper than the Xbox One and the games are the same price. So when it comes to stuff like the gaming sector or the entertainment sector, brexit isn't the issue some make it out, to be.
But thats my little rant done with for Poltics. Its never a nice mix with gaming and Poltics LOL
[QUOTE=Team Andromeda;848845]Perhaps the horror movie censorship was related to the UK "video nasty" laws of the 80s. The UK is actually home to one of my favorite distributors of 80s horror on Blu-ray, Arrow Films. Many of their releases are region B, but they do release some region free discs that we get in the US. But their releases are always the original cuts of the movies, not the truncated versions of yesterday.Quote:

While I'm not sure if they offer their releases in the UK, I heartily recommend Vinegar Syndrome's blu releases. Criterion quality video and audio with exclusive extras and beautiful slip covers. But their focus is exploitation classics of the 70s and 80s, lots of great horror flicks, and they've done a number of movies that the great Tom Savini worked on. They have their own dedicated thread on the Blu-ray.com forums, and so does Arrow and a number of other excellent distributors.
I'm got most of the Arrow, Anchor Bay and Shout Factory horror films . Thanks for the look out too . Tom Savini along with Jackie Chan were my heroes growing up and I was also a huge fan of Bob Maclaren special make up effects too
Are you sure it was Tomba 2? The game costs around $150 nowadaysQuote:

I knew, if it’s any consolation. Plus, wasn’t “THE NETHERLANDS” listed as your location at some point? Is that the same as being Dutch? I dunno...Quote:

Yeah, I knew Neo was Dutch too. Of course, we've been here BSing about video games together for about a decade now, so that makes sense, picked it up somewhere along the line. I live in a part of West Michigan that has a huge Dutch population, the largest in the US I think. A few years ago, the king and queen of the Netherlands actually visited our region. I'm not Dutch though, moved here later in life, my grandparents were born in Hungary.
Yeah that's the same, "Dutch" comes from the ye olde word Diets which stems back a long long time ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diets#...iets_and_DuytsQuote:
