The Original Language of Fallout (only!)

Mx · 12-11-2002, 23:55

There are so many ways the famous old game called Fallout inspires people even today with it's unrepeatable atmosphere! This is the world, where you live and control your fate! Now you became a witness of one kind of consequence, which would the inspiration lead to. If you want to try your favorite game in its original language, why don't you first try to participate here, in our conversation! Believe my experience, it will help. There's only one rule - english only. Even when someone doesn't understand a word, you have to explain it to her/him in english, using some easier variants.

Wazzup, buddies!

How you're doing! Let's rock-n-roll! (c) Mortitia

Why don't each one choose a role? I'm Mx! Surprised? Sorry, didn't wanna scare you

Mortitia Addams · 13-11-2002, 00:48

Mx -> Wow! You just quoted me!

Sounds like our life is worth living after all!

BTW, when I tried to express my gratitude to the authors of Fallout Series on the official BIS forum I got so many negative aggressive responses from the Americans - I never shown there again! It was horrible! The most unpleasant communication experience I have ever had in my life!

I think I should find the text of my posting for you to laugh at my naive way to say "thank you"

Mx · 13-11-2002, 01:32

Mortitia Addams
I'd really like to see what exactly appeared to be so negative about your posting.

My friend, for example, once was saying to American that September 11th was "terrific", mixing it with the world "terrible"

Mx · 13-11-2002, 01:40

BTW, when I've visited Moscow this summer, I've been shocked by the way "Friends" were translated. I haven't even had any desire to watch it. The whole humor of the show disappeared due to the abscence of perfect voices of real actors and messing up the phrases. What have they done to Pheebe's famous masterpiece "Smelly cat"

I loved this song until I heard the screwed up translation.

It's just a little lyric deviation. Never mind

.

Prince Dakkar · 13-11-2002, 18:28

Mx

I think your friend had a great success

BTW, where have you been when the planes crashed into the towers?

Actually, I hate creating offtop threads like this one. Why? Well, if you have a little conversation here and there and limited only by your own desire to write something in one way or another, it's quite interesting. But if you create a specialized topic like "Bar" instead of plaing roles wherever you want, the interest will be temporaly moved there, but such threads usually dissapeare fast enough. So, I warned you

We'll speak our language everywhere else, except this topic.

Prince Dakkar
I think you're right, thus just catch the moment!

I've been studying, when I heard what happened. My mother have been working in about three blocks from the WTC, so she was one of those, who had to ran away, but anyway, let's change subject, because I don't wanna hear something spiteful about this from someone again.

Nobody forces you to participate. Knowing some foreign language is just one of the basic requirements for all educated people. This topic is just a practice of it with the incline to the Fallout field and it has nothing to do with your opinion about Americans. What you're saying is just an expression of your envious attitude... Sorry, but mind your own business then, please.

Prince Dakkar
Well, these two were what you call "offtopic"

VorteX DrAgON · 14-11-2002, 03:45

Mx
Well! Then you must help me to understand what you talking about!
Learn me, please!

Mx · 14-11-2002, 04:10

VorteX DrAgON
Just make a list of words that you don't understand. I think this is the major issue, because you're quiet ok with assembling sentences.

VorteX DrAgON · 14-11-2002, 05:25

Mx
Ok. I'll try. "because you're quiet ok with assembling sentences." - how translate that?

Mx · 14-11-2002, 06:24

VorteX DrAgON
It means that you have enough knowledge to put words in the right order.

"quiet ok" means "almost ok"
"assembling" means "constructing"

VorteX DrAgON · 14-11-2002, 06:53

Mx
Yes! Now i see what it means!

I need some practice in language.

Prince Dakkar · 14-11-2002, 19:55

Mx
I see. It seems to me it was a great stress...

I've eliminated all the offspring messages

Salvatore · 14-11-2002, 19:57

Hi
Fallout - good. Other RPG games - bad. World peace. Hurrah!!!

Prince Dakkar · 14-11-2002, 20:24

Salvatore
Hm... Actually, there are some RPG games which have completely different style and so, there is no way to compare them...

Salvatore · 14-11-2002, 20:42

Prince Dakkar
Yeah, but Fallout is the only RPG game I like to play. I tried to play ADOM, Wizardry 7 and some other games but find them too boring :-)

Prince Dakkar · 14-11-2002, 21:30

Salvatore
The games you told about aren't my choice too

But if we take JRPG or AD&D based games like BG, the struggle between them is going to be hard. Different people like different styles, so many customers aren't fond of post-nuclear reality

Mortitia Addams · 14-11-2002, 21:47

Prince Dakkar -> Should I correct the mistakes?

Or shouldn't I? It is entirely up to you, guys, so...

Oh, well... You'd better wait for Mx to help you out here.

Mx · 14-11-2002, 23:29

Salvatore
but find them
but I found them

Prince Dakkar
But if we take
Never begin with "but"

if we take JRPG or AD&D based games like BG, the struggle between them is going to be hard
if we had taken ..... the struggle between them would have been hard

Something like that. I'm not sure.

Mortitia Addams
If you feel like correcting something, you're always free to do it as long as people don't refuse this offer.

Prince Dakkar
I see where you're coming with this discussion. I bet you won't be able to talk him into it...

Stasishe · 15-11-2002, 00:32

Mx Never begin with "but"
Why? Is it syntax error or grammatic ?

Mx · 15-11-2002, 03:20

Stasishe
It's definitely a gramatical error. You should never begin sentence with "But" or "Because". Actually, maybe it's not an official rule, but it's very wrong to write like this.

Mortitia Addams · 15-11-2002, 03:27

Stasishe -> There is a special rule in English (subordinate clauses with "but" at the beginning of the sentence):

But for the rain they couldn't go out that day - Из-за дождя они в тот день не могли выйти на улицу.

Mx · 15-11-2002, 03:31

Mortitia Addams

Stasishe
You can use "but" or "because", but in a different way. For example:
Because he was crippled, he couldn't play.

Mortitia Addams · 15-11-2002, 03:44

Mx -> It's called "Inversion" and it is used to underline the special inner meaning of the sentence (I know it is a clumsy way to explain it, but I'm kind of tired right now, so don't be too hard on me!

), just compare two sentences below:

We couldn't call you becasue of the blizzard. - Мы не могли созвониться с вами из-за снежной бури.
Becasue of the blizzard we couldn't call you. - Именно из-за снежной бури мы и не смогли с вами созвониться.

Mx · 15-11-2002, 03:48

Mortitia Addams
Yeah, I think that's right.
To be honest with you, I don't really know all the names and rules. I just feel the way it has to be written because of my good hear sense.

VorteX DrAgON · 15-11-2002, 03:57

but I'm kind of tired right now, so don't be too hard on me
