Where are you from?

beverheim · 08-27-2007, 03:18 AM

If most adventure games these days are developed outside English speaking countries, the how about the players, or in this case - the ones who visit adventuregamers.com? Are they also mostly from other countries?

Got inspired to make this poll from the discussion about the German dominance in ag-industry in this thread: http://www.adventuregamers.com/forum...ad.php?t=20770

I'm from English-speaking Canada, now residing in Texas.

Well, as you can see, from left... I'm from Finland

MoriartyL · 08-27-2007, 03:31 AM

You forgot the Middle East. Should I vote "Asia"?

sysryn · 08-27-2007, 03:44 AM

I'm from Croatia. The land of 1185 islands

Maybe the poll is a bit Eurosentric, I realize! Maybe Chinese, Japanese and Indians feel offended to be in the same bag, but you can only have 15 different categories when you post a poll here. Sorry, if somebody thinks their country should be mentioned!

beverheim · 08-27-2007, 03:48 AM

Middle East should be Asia! As long as it is a country that is geografically in Asia.

I come from my mommy's uterus.

And what, pray tell, is the logic behind grouping Canadia together with Australia and New Zealand? I mean, I never knew it was that easy to confuse "oot and aboot" with "g'day mate".

Because you Dominion types should all be lumped together, we don't need to trouble ourselves differentiating.
