this looks crap... there was an article in PC Gamer saying that the next windows codnamed longhorn will have that built into it and games will soon have a rating of 1, 2, 3 ect and so will ur pc and say if ur pc is like 3 it can only handle games numbered 3 and below... I mean this sux... if they do this i will make sure BILL GATES DIES!

Irony, cynicis..cynisi..Cynicism! and Sarcasm are basically the same, but justa step up in 'cruelty'...well that doesn't do em justice, but it's a general way of describing it :x at least that's the way my dutch teacher tried to explain us 4 years ago ;)

I still can't explain it..but I know their meaning :x

So yeah...you can use irony for that O_o (altho cynicism would have fit better imo).

I am also aware the english like using it for a situation that turns out with a high comical value..I don't know exactly what's up with that :x but as far as I'm aware the dutch don't use it like that :o

Yup :) but it's like saying 'This game was created by Miyamoto' or 'This game was created by the makers of Grand Theft Auto', while it was a whole team and miyamoto didn't even come up with 50% of what's in the game, and the team that created the game 'by the makers of' were just another team of the same company ;)

What I'm trying to say is that people often use the name of a person that most stands out, or carries out the name of the company, when talking about the company ;p

The same thing happens when people blame DavidM for anything wrong in DB ;)

Well..I know you already know that ;p
But that doesn't make me less bored! :(
