The same way I pronounce Derbyshire, with an arb. That's how it's said here in England.

It's Vinny + Alex playing this for a Live Bombastica...
Still the only football game I've ever bought, and it was a damn fine one. They put it out for twenty dollars, how crazy is that?
Then EA realized the genre was in danger of being consumer-friendly, and locked that shit up right quick.

so is the next thread going to be titled "It's a Hat!" or has someone already beat me to that joke? Damn GB backlog...
It's fine, and very common among Americans, some even think the countries are like US states. I think the EU confused things for them even further too.
Besides, if they started trying to specify individual countries, there would just be even more mistakes for people to bitch about.

How the fuck does this Cricket QL turn out to be the most exciting sports match they've ever done?

lmao I love Drew's cheesy puns on the bombcast.
Talking about Easy E and ganking and dota.
Aeon of Strife? Oh you mean E ON of Strife?

I doubt many Americans think the European countries are equivalent to states, though I'm sure we generally don't appreciate the significant cultural differences between them. That being said, it's also fairly common for non-Americans to lump all Americans together when different regions or states are very very different. The American South vs the Northeast or Northwest. Someone from Vermont might better relate to a Scandinavian than a Texan or someone from Mississippi. I'm sure it's that way to some extent with all countries but the US is just so damn big.

there's a reason that some nutsos out there update the roster for that game on a yearly basis. It's considered the best football game ever by many.

Can I touch you?
Yes please
Let's be fair, every time they don't refer to Danny as being British is a step in the right direction.

I know that Polygon is not a favorite on NeoGAF, but Owen Good had a very interesting article about NFL 2k5 over the weekend.
NFL 2K5 sports gaming's King Arthur launched 10 years ago today

As a wonderful and beautiful american, i only recently (like 5 years ago or something) discovered that England DIDNT encompass the entirety of the island next to Ireland, what we informed folks call great britain. To be fair, the only good thing to come out of that region for years was Braveheart and it was mostly fictional, so that's what i was working with.
Like, i thought the whole thing was england and everything else was like states within england, like scotland and wales were just like a florida or a something.
I know better now, and i knew about accents the whole time so i wouldn't confuse a scotsman with an irishman. But you guys sure made that harder than it needed to be, with your britains and great britains and your United Kingdoms and shit.
As a Norwegian, it took some years to fully understand that. So Americans aren't alone in their ignorance here.

I'm playing Velvet Sundown. It runs like garbage on my laptop. But It's incredible. I wish the matches lasted longer though.
Going on a month long road trip along the east coast of the US is the best vacation I've ever had. Such an amazing country (and terrible in some ways, but that goes for every country ever).
They scare me too and I live here.

When that Kim game becomes Patrick's DOTA 2 y'all have no one to blame but yourselves.
Well, to be fair, after 23 years of living here I've never seen someone out in the open with a gun and I've only been in a handful of houses with guns. It's not like I live in the middle of nowhere either.

Don't be scared. We deep fry things and our greatest exports are Bon Jovi, Beef and
Booze(Whiskey, Bourbon).
It's more of an irrational fear on my part because of the likelihood of being shot or worse. The first time I saw a real gun was last year in Paris with the French police patrols, and I was scared for my life.
That was pretty interesting. Although I still think the whole production of a game, announcers, etc haven't been bested yet. Thanks for that.
So you're basically like a worse version of Scotland? They deep fry fucking Mars bars, exported Texas (the band, not the second largest state), Angus beef and Speyside whiskeys.
Haha.

The places that actually care about guns are places that no one wants to go to anyhow. They're all Podunk towns with nothing of interest within a hundred miles.
Those are not sushi, those are chicken nuggets. He's just confused.
