Any foreign Bioshock fans already here ?

[zyklop]

Greetz to all Bioshock fans around the globe :)
I´m zyklop from Germany, since last year we´re running a Bioshock fansite in German and English.
Visit us at www.bio-shock.com or www.bio-shock.de and choose your prefered language on the upper right side.
The site is realized with the e107 CMS, we´re also using Joomla for our other sites in the globalgameport-network.

Are there any other foreign Bioshock-teams ?
Contact us and we will be happy to talk about a partnership. ;)

[jackinthebox]

i also salute everybody :D
i'm jackinthebox from Austria and don't run any fansite, but i'm nonetheless a big fan of BioShock :)

[Pinstripe]

Grüß Gott meine Herren!

Bioshock fanboy at your service!

[Rapture_Tourist]

Hmm, Germany seems to be quite strong in the foreigner-group.

And I am a part of it :). Bin aus Essen im schönen NRW.

[Bartekk]

Not sure whether should I look at this thread as "Are there any other foreign Bioshock-teams?" or "Where are you from?" Going for the later, I'm from Poland. Greetings.

Mate, reckon you could hook me up with a copy? ;)

[IMBender]

I'm from India, spreading the BioShock goodness wherever I can, even going to great lengths to actually write a big preview of the game for a local gaming publication here. Just can't wait to get my hands on the game.

and to the rest of the world: hello, buddies!

anyway, I'm from Austria.

edit: oh, and hungarians are always welcome :D

[Necros]

anyway, I'm from Austria.
Hi neighbour! :D

[Lucas78]

Italy here, and eager to play the game like there is no tomorrow! ;)

[FrenchTart]

Does English count as being foreign in this crazy American world? :)

[jjd]

Mate, reckon you could hook me up with a copy? ;)

Sure, just come over and pick it up ;)


Wow, lot's of people from Europe here. I'm glad the release is going to be more-or-less simultaneous with the US.

[Raveness]

Does English count as being foreign in this crazy American world? :)
I don't understand the use of foreign here either. It's a relative term, could mean culturally different from the west, or as I assume just not from NorthAm.

Perhaps foreign just means someone who doesn't play in the world series :p

[Corgano]

Does English count as being foreign in this crazy American world? :) Hehe. Well, I'm from the Chicago Illinois, USA. So, I guess that makes me foreign to everyone else, even the nice English people. :)

*Shrugs* They probably mean people that aren't American. Strange how that works, since the US is mostly made up of people (or descendants) not native to it. Unless they mean foreign to the Earth? But that another story... :D

[Necros]

They probably mean people that aren't American.
Yes, foreign means outside the US in this case. :) Or maybe people with other native languages than English.

[ComradeP]

It seems the (vocal) Americans might beoutnumbered by the (vocal) Europeans on this board, currently.

I'm Dutch/from the Netherlands.

On every forum there seems to be a "piet" and unless he's an Afrikaner, there's only one other option as to where he comes from. Saying a "piet" is Dutch is kind of "Double Dutch";)

[sniper_zero]

I'm from Finland.

[Shake Appeal]

Did I mention that I'm from Ireland yet?

[zyklop]

Hah - a fellow of the green island... :)
I worked for a couple of years in Ireland, for DELL.

Greetings, my friend...;)

[Mr. Teatime]

I'm from Norway.

... Not much more to say, really...

[Santino]

Всем дарова!!
I'm from Russia, native land of bears, balalaika and vodka :D

[Hatesink]

Does English count as being foreign in this crazy American world? :)I guess so, although I guess on the internet everyone's from somewhere else.

P.S. Why french tart (if you're from the U.K.)? :confused:

I'm from the U.K. too. London England U.K. Europe :)

[king_clueless]

I'm also from England and therefore shouldn't be foreign as most English people don't think they are! :D

Fortunately I'm half Mexican so I'm def foreign all the time. Whether I'm in England or Mexico, lol.

[Hatesink]

I'm also from England and therefore shouldn't be foreign as most English people don't think they are! :DThat was the very first thing I thought— I'm not foreign, I speak English :p;)

[king_clueless]

LOL God you've got to love the British attitude so bleeding backward it's funny.

Ever see Jack Dee comments on going through passport control?

"Anything to declare? Imperialism! Out of my way Jonny Foreigner" :)

[Raveness]

Aberdeen, Scotland, above all you southern English bastards who stole our country :p

Expatriated now, can never go back, Mi5 was quite clear on that :(

[Hatesink]

Expatriated now, can never go back, Mi5 was quite clear on that :(Is that a joke? If not...tell me more...

[jackinthebox]

Is that a joke? If not...tell me more...

it sounds like a joke to me ;)

[Hatesink]

it sounds like a joke to me ;)Probably...but I'm still curious ;)

:) So, you've got an advantage when playing STALKER, you understand what the people are saying. :D

[jackinthebox]

Stalker is from the Ukraine... it's very similar, but not the same ;) i do understand a little (i'm able to speak czech). there's a certain rule of thumb: the farther a slavic country is, the worser gets the understanding ;)

Yes, but I think they speak Russian in the game. Though I can be wrong. :)

[takymen]

Hey, portuguese guy in the house :cool:

[FrenchTart]

P.S. Why french tart (if you're from the U.K.)? :confused:

It was an odd nickname when I was about 13/15 and as a random thing I registered it on some of my first community sites...It's stuck with me ever since. It's got it's advantages and disadvantages. The amount of attention I sometimes get from very disturbing men can be amusing. Especially when I reveal that I'm male :)

(and not French or a tart)

oh well...you've just successfully discouraged this very disturbing man from trying to flirt with you. ;)

Edit: Because of the 'male' thing. Please understand I hold nothing against french tarts (although sometimes I wish I could (wehay;))).

[Psyclone]

Hey, portuguese guy in the house :cool:


And I thought I was the only one...

[KnightTemplar]

Canada is in the house :p

Am I the only Canadian?

[lmok]

I assume that I'm the only one from Israel around here :p

[SPDeath]

"Pip Pip, shine ya shoes govna", thats right i'm english, although i live in somerset (south england) so it should probably be "yarr, me luvly combine (http://www.half-life2.cz/clanky/04-11-18-1/hl2-usmivajici-se-combine.jpg) arvester"

[Plasmid Junkie]

Im typing to you from my igloo in Canada eh.

[Mongchimp]

Foreign to where? The net should be neutral. I am British but does that really matter when I am represented by a group of pixels on someones screen?

Of course in the real world we get screwed over compared to the yanks with regard to release dates, availability and most importantly price.

[Equisilus]

Canada is in the house :p

Am I the only Canadian?

Besides the others that replied, I'm here.

As mentioned in the post above, no one seemed to define what "foreign" meant in the context of a forum accessible by everyone around the globe. Just foreign to the developers, foreign to the US, foreign to first language, English-speaking countries, what?

[Eve]

That makes me the second Aussie : ), but we can't say that we're foreign can we? After all parts of the game was developed in Australia.

Half-natives : )

[downzy]
