    Talking Far Cry 2 & South Africanisms - lol

    just started playing it this week, and LAGGED myself silly at all the Afrikaans therein:

    "jy maak seker a grap!"
    "ek het bystand nodig!"
    "waar is daaie vent?!"
    "elkeen van hierdie koeels dra jou naam!"

    I reckon most players have no idea what language is being spoken, or that fact that zulu is the preferred language of most of the black militants. Lol. Makes sense, tho, in terms of the loads of SA mercs roaming around Efrika looking for work.

    Also pretty funny how the buffalo are clearly modelled on asian water buffalo in terms of behaviour - like docile cows, really. Also lol'ed at a firefight at one of the checkpoints that left a few zebra dead too - nice touch. The whole game has so many excellent details - very impressive. Am also wondering if those Afrikaans voices are Arnold Vosloo - mebbe he needs the work? hehehe

    One can never stop saying Thank You

    No, Afrikaans - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrikaans. They're fairly close though.

    "elkeen van hierdie koeels dra jou naam!" - every one of these bullets has your name on it!

    those are the family-safe variety

    there was also one about shooting someone's teeth out, IIRC - lol
