Hah! I'll take that as a compliment, somehow. Yup.

I'm the "I've chatted shiz with scousers for too many years" poster child for inherited text accents...25 years of this will change a man.

the genises gave it away.

Yeah, I figured as much. Had a work colleague text me the other day and I replied "sound"...

reply="???"

happens all too often...then I have to explain it, which is interesting.

Thing been Irish I know all sorts of American dialects from media (and frequent trips). from south to high north to a texan, Boston, loiusiana etc etc. and likewise with all the English dialects. But when I speak or text in my normal speak slightly I'm completely misunderstood. When I say Ireland to any American they think I'm saying New Orleans. EVERYTIME

My text speak can get off-the-charts scouse/UK English and I don't even realise (<-- caught myself, perfect example...American is realize but I'll spell it either way at random) it at times. The thing is that 90% of my online/electronic interaction time is Everton/UK based and it's the most time I spend at something where I'm actually typing, so it's all gone tits up in that regard. It doesn't happen when I'm talking to people fact-to-face, it's all based around typing...I've given up questioning it; it just IS. I'm sure there are more underlying reasons for it, if you want to get all Freudian with it, but it's not hurting anyone so MEH!

Been a looong time since I've played it...think it came out on arcade cabinets first and then Sega Genesis.

Sega Master System wasn't it? Or was that called something else?

Well, there was the Genesis and then they had some sort of CD-Based add-on that I never got...Sega CD. Then they had the Sega Saturn, which I never had...think I had moved to the original PlayStation by then. Looking it up, the Master System was the console before the Genesis. Didn't have that one either. Only Sega systems I had at some point were the Genesis and the Dreamcast.

Master System was ace. Had a Mega Drive then a Nintendo 64 - then Xbox before Playstation 2 or 3 I think. We used to hire a Dreamcast and play Daytona all the time.

Yeah, it was actually a really decent system...apparently, programming for the PowerVR chip back then threw everyone off. That's the system that made 2K games as a company...their sports games on Dreamcast were making EA look like chumps.

Heh, I gave my original XBox to an uncle ages ago for something to entertain my young cousin at the time...whenever I go over to their house, there it is under the TV. It probably hasn't been turned on it 10 years as they're not the type and my cousin's off in college. That thing was a tank compared to the new stuff...even the original PlayStation was slim compared to that thing.

Hahaha my best memory of it was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That was a sensational game.

3rd person action fighter! It was ace you could combo Vampires with punches and roundhouse kicks and stake them to blighty. Great graphics for back in the day!
