Sounds like an interesting game. I think the game will be a success in the US like it is in Germany.

I don’t think it will catch on here. People are too busy trying not to become homeless.

It is so predictable. Germany is mentioned, and the stupid American is thinking: “bla bla bla Nazis bla bla bla Hitler bla bla bla Autobahn bla bla bla Dankeschön bla bla bla Beer bla bla bla Bavara bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla”.
The U.S. is the country, the whole world hates, isn´t it? You caused the worldwide terrorism and you caused the global financial crisis. Such as Germany, but in the 21st century. Congratulations.

I use the built-in spell check on Safari (the red underline squiggles). Unfortunately sometimes it doesn’t work 100% properly with WordPress, especially when we save drafts and the page refreshes.

From an american perspective, that is the pot calling the kettle black. To quote wikipedia:
>>…David Cesarani states that “in terms of the sheer numbers killed, the Native American Genocide exceeds that of the Holocaust”…<<

I had a look at it and I give it a try! Think it’s an interesting idea!

Want to find out what makes this game that popular in Germany so far!

Do you use spell checker on a regular basis?
“portrail”?
-
Anyway, you can expect anything from Germans, as someone has already said, they have a long tradition of “using any means necessary” to do whatever they want. But wait a second… aren’t they now teaching other countries how to comply with human rights? Do these guys believe that 60 years erases their barbarianism?

Jason, in the sentence: “…and is the third fasting growing website according to Comscore…” I think you meant to say fastest

This is popular for the same reason GTA is. People like to do things in games that they can’t do in real life. I say if they get it out of their system in a text based game instead of IRL society is all the better for it.

As far as it being text based, it is low-fi enough to work well on a mobile phone? That is why it is getting so popular so quick.

I hate myself for being such an addict to pointless text-based RPGs.

I have to say it looks damn good. Simple, yet elegant.

I hope this one doesn’t spoil my work.

sorry about the double post. Varnish reverse proxy that TC uses is really tricky! It caches in mysterious ways.

“a controversial German game that asks players to rise from virtual homelessness to great wealth, by any means necessary.” …

Isn’t that what Hit1er did?

Kicked little dogs and everything…
Geez….

Like the German version of the game bully!

At Wacken metal fest a couple years ago, bands like Cannibal Corpse were free to sing their lyrics for the first time since the Berlin wall was built.
