Re: General Discussion 5
I kinda speak German, could probably give you a decent-ish translation if you have a larger scan and if I'm allowed to use Google Translate for most of the verbs, nouns, etc . This one's a little too small to read easily.

Re: General Discussion 5
It's not my scan, but I can try to find a larger one.
Edit: I can't find any scans; I've searched google images as well as I could, although I could try to find the name of the magazine, and possibly find what issue this is? It depends on whether or not the magazine was popular.
Edit 2: I don't think I'll find anything. I searched up German gaming magazines, and I could only find three; two of which came into circulation after 1998 and one which stopped making issues in 1995. It could be a non-gaming magazine with a gaming section, but I don't speak German, and I don't feel like combing through names I don't even understand.

Re: General Discussion 5
Hmm, well, I can try to read the tiny text, I suppose.
I can't promise my translation will be any good, by the way; I just want to try it for the challenge, really.

Re: General Discussion 5
I may have found the magazine, actually. Below the game's rating, it says "Spielspass." I looked it up, and translated it, and it translates (on google translate) to "play pass," but turns up results for "Game Pass," so google translate probably messed up a bit.
Edit: Apparently google translates better if you use ß instead of "ss" when translating to/from German, so it probably means "game fun," not game pass.
stoupid google.

Re: General Discussion 5
It could be either "Game Pass" (Speils-Pass), or "Game Fun" (Spiel-Spa<ß/ss>). Could also be a pun, and it's supposed to mean both.
Edit: Your edit beat me.

Re: General Discussion 5
Hey, I was thinking, would you mind if we actually split this off into a new thread in the Spyro 2 section? I think it would make an interesting thread, since we so rarely discuss Spyro stuff and all.

Re: General Discussion 5
Awesome, thanks! When I did a reverse image search it told me there were no other sizes of that image.

Re: General Discussion 5
*bleep*, someone out-googled me. Also, yeah, switching this to another thread is a good idea. I didn't intend to post the source, so I didn't really even notice this was still general discussion when we were discussing it.

Re: General Discussion 5
"Rhinoc" in my rank thing is spelled wrong.
It should be "Rhynoc."

Re: General Discussion 5
You can blame RDX and Bread for that one. Mostly bread because I told him it was wrong and he never fixed it.

Re: General Discussion 5
So, a few days ago I heard back from Oxford University...
...I got an offer! ^_^
They want me to get A*A*A grades, so I guess there's only one last hurdle I need to get over before I can start my studies there.

Re: General Discussion 5
It's a bit of a long story, but you know, it's one were you just know they did, and they make no effort to hide it, he basicley did it so he could Dump his Girlfriend (My friend) Without actually having to tell her himself.
