True. That is what I get for reading too fast and reading "why" instead of "what" :P

le_chevalier: Tour de France 1940?

tinyE: In an ironic twist, I recently saw a show about how German soldiers during WW 2 were all given meth/speed. The Tour de France is of course notorious for riders being loaded on drugs; at least insofar as American cyclist are concerned.
Not only the American ones. This is Jan Ullrich (1997 Tour de France Winner), holding a plush chicken in his hand, walking around the roof of his house. A few days earlier he got arrested for threatening his neighboor with a broom. A few days later he attacked some dude at the airport. Then he vanished - until Lance Armstrong posted a foto with his old buddy Jan. Guess where he was? In a rehab center ;) Ullrich went totally nuts on speed and Whiskey (I've read somewhere that he drank two bottles every day).

I guess you gotta be a junkie to be allowed to ride the Tour de France oO

I heard winner was some guy named Rommel, on his bike called "7. Panzerdivision".

Weird name for a bike. Then again, whole 1940 TdF was weird.
Maybe you were in a parallel universe for a few minutes in which Nazi Germany had won WW2.
Schnirken dös Spanfürkel, jah?!

Maxvorstadt: Yep, our Muttersprache will conquer GoG!
Resistance is futile, because it`s the Zeitgeist.

Just kidding. :-D

tinyE: Germany invades Sweden, tomorrow at 12:30 EST, on FS1.

Sweden shouldn't stand a chance, but Germany has been really underachieving in the tournament so far, so an upset could be brewing.
Swedish meatballs are hardly a basis for starting WWIII.
Today GOG; Tommorow the World!


Gog is located in Poland. Germany started WW2 by invading Poland. Coincidence or not?


Serioualy, I have the same problem but with an Asian Language on a coupleo websites. Wnet back to normal after I just shut down and restarted the Browser. A momentary glitch, I guess.

Yes yes, I know, and strange women laying about in ponds distributing swords is hardly a basis for a system of government.

Back to on-topic. I’ve had the same issue twice this week and never had this before. No problem to switch the language back to English, but it also seems I have no more store access to german regional locked games like Mortal Kombat. Well, I think best thing is to contact support about this.
Just a heads up, Germany invaded Sweden, as scheduled, and for the first half it looked like a route, but evidently Germany wasn't aware there are two halves, and got their asses kicked in the final 45 minutes.

Sweden has stopped the blitzkrieg and moves on to the Semi-Finals against the Netherlands.

Germany was last seen barricading themselves in a bunker and contemplating their revenge next year in Tokyo.
