Whenever I see ‘Benelux’ I always think of washing machines.
August 18th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Oh, very good timing.
This will help me learn dutch.
August 18th, 2008 at 11:18 am
Syrok, don’t. Learn Japanese it’s cooler.
(I AM Dutch, and it sounds so stupid)
Benelux stands for Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg, just so that you know. It’s all in Dutch bleh, I always check amazing English sites, they’re always the first.

so eurogamer.ru next?
August 18th, 2008 at 11:33 am
@prodygee: It does sound funny; ruins the whole atmosphere when you play Uncharted for instance in Dutch and I keep on laughing at the enemies when they shouting at me, but I more or less have to learn as I will spend quite some time there soon.
I love the sound of the Japanese language so I will learn it at some stage.

No El_MUERkO, eurogamer.co.uk next!

That joke would have worked when Eurogamer.de launched, but unfortunatly the dutch don’t have a german accent, it is infact much worse. As many of my fellow countrymen have pointed out: it is a dreadfull language.

So is German.
Altough I’ve met someone from England who thought German was sexy…
