Euro COGs

[Squidbot]

Where are you? I come into work every morning, and much the same as it was at EvAv, all the regulars are asleep.
Wakey wakey!
Where are all the Eurogamers (sic)?

[DangerousDaze]

Howdy from sunny Manchester (well, actually I'm in Warrington because I'm at work, but who wants to admit to being in Warrington?)

[Vandabo]

Well, I'm not European, but I do watch way too much Top Gear. (Almost time for the new series by the way!)

[KidCactus]

One € gamer here. But not really, more of a SEK gamer.

[c0m3d14n]

good morning ;)

[Squidbot]

Huzzah! I feel less lonley already! Let us make this thread an island sanctuary of culture, odd cheeses and outrageous accents!

i will not let this horse into my city

[KidCactus]

Wise choice, my friend.

[c0m3d14n]

are there sweets inside? ;)

[CES]

Europe or not, i'm still up entirely too early for my liking.


Also, Europe time lets me ninja stuff on WAR, it's brilliant.

Hmmm. I'm not sure if I approve of that. Destruction or Order?

If you're a beaver you're in for a treat, since it's wood all the way through. Yummie! But if you don't like that, maybe you could try surströmming (soured herring), "a northern Swedish delicacy consisting of fermented Baltic herring"?

It smells like, well, shit, and the Swedish population is divided into two camps: either you LOVE it or you HATE it. I'm a die hard supported of the latter.

[Squidbot]

It has to be said that it doesn't look particularly appetizing. The first bite is with the eye? How about the first retch?

[KidCactus]

Trust me, the first bite is with the nose, since it smells a block away. It really does.

[rinichanraar]

I'm awake, too! But it's 2 am here right now.

Ignore the Cliff thing. I still have taste. :(

Köttbullar. :) I like meatballs a lot, but not that pre-fabricated ones, they should be homemade, preferably by myself.

[Squidbot]

See now, this is what I mean. Weird European stuff.

[Ancalagon]

Londoner here.

[Morratut]

Hi you are not alone. Gamer here from Hull in England!! :D

[Shieldmaiden]

Peterborough, England here. Though we have more Continental culture than most places on the Continent. Polish, Portuguese, Italian, Slovakian, Czech et etc.

You'd need over thirty languages to speak to all the kids at the school I work in. :D

[Raen]

Coming to you live from (not so) sunny old Brighton.

[GigaFuzz]

I lurk, therefore I am (not a regular poster).

[Sl1pstream]

Just got home from work and live in Europe!

[Raen]

Just got home from work and live in Europe!

Sl1pstream your ability to get to PAX from Belgium never ceases to amaze me. Clearly you are the king of the Euro COGs.

[Housemixer]

See, I wanted to say something like GigaFuzz, but I'm too late, so I'll keep on lurking.

[c0m3d14n]

till now we have like 3 guys not from the uk ^^

[Raen]

till now we have like 3 guys not from the uk ^^

Us UK guys need to CoGcon UK. We could drink a lot. That's all I've got planned out so far.

[Squidbot]

So, to recap:
We go to the pub.
We drink.

I don't think we require any further planning, we're British!

[Typical Michael]

Well dont that beat all, I didnt know squidbot was English. Now I get to put a pompous accent together with those dreads!

[Squidbot]

You unmitigated cad, sir! I find that to be a deplorable and contemptible accusation. There shall be fisticuffs, sir, fisticuffs! For the Queen’s honour! With a U!

And my being English is the reason for me never playing any Multiplayer withe most of the EvAv regulars. You always play at stupid times.

[Raen]

So, to recap:
We go to the pub.
We drink.

I don't think we require any further planning, we're British!

Well of course there's the mandatory post pub kebab, but I always feel that's more spontaneous than planned out.

[Squidbot]

When and where? Let's do this. We need to represent the Euro COG's, and display our superior Euro drinking skills.

[Everyone vs Dinosaurs]

Squidbot DOES have some crazy hair.

I have always wanted to say that.

[Squidbot]

Who
The
FUCK
is this person with the excellent username? Walkstheplanes?

[rinichanraar]

You're forgiven, rin.

Are you Calvin or Hobbes? I'm fine with being either.

HEY U BIGJONNO, I'd like to hear about your Latin. Please?

Well dont that beat all, I didnt know squidbot was English. Now I get to put a pompous accent together with those dreads!

I never really thought of it till now, either. That's so freakin' cool. I wish I could see/hear him speak.

Who

It's Wonda Mic! (Seriously, it is. He admitted it somewhere because someone figured it out.)

[Raen]

Squidbot if you're actually up for it then I'm up for it. Just depends where exactly you are in the UK, can't find you saying where you're based.

[baz]

Another londoner.

It's not great because this machine only has elements, plus it was a pretty quick and dirty jobs. Any comment?

[Morangie]

Lot more Europeans here than I had realized.

[Typical Michael]

Lot more Europeans here than I had released.

How big is that prison?

Thats a strange bug, your quote is different from my original and totally unedited post.

edit: stupid "last edited by" times making me look even stupider :(

[President Fred]

Hello another European here, although only for another 2 or 3 more months. Stockholm, Sweden for the last year and a half and Norwich, England for three years before that.
