I just played Dead Island for an hour with a bunch of Brazilians.

The only word they said that I knew was "Gringo"

And yet, despite this, we were able to play a co-op game together. Including some complicated coordination-dependent triple-teaming of a tank.

I love the Internet.

Yes, we whose streetlights are still on during lunchtime are in the middle of high hibernation-in-Skyrim season. I'm wondering more about your antipodal zombie-hunting associates.

I once explained to a latin american MMO player how to do a quest using only words I knew from Dora the Explorer. He started trying to have a real conversation with me though, and didn't believe me when I said "no ablo espanol - sola Dora"

Google Translate covered my needs well. And they spoke a *little* English, and I speak enough Spanish and French that I could guess reasonably at the Portugese words if they spoke slowly enough for me to, y'know, hear *words*.

Sorry we didn't get back on last night

It took Kevin midnight to sweep our guests out the door. I went to bed at 11.

PPS: WATCH YOUR DAMAGE NUMBERS. When they start popping up, like "3", your weapon is BROKEN. You will get your ass handed to you by a low-level Walker like that. Switch, TO BARE HANDS IF NECESSARY.
