Go to Google Translator and type in "Ich liebe Battlefield 3" and see what comes up in English.

LOL! What the crap? There's a biased programmer out there somewhere.

It's also one of the weakest Call of Duty games...! Console only :p

That was awesome! I'm going to have to spread that on facebook when I'm not sleep deprived from preparing for our hurricane...

Oh jeez, that's right. You guys have a hurricane. An earthquake and a hurricane all in one week. Good luck guys.

I didn't feel the earthquake at all; I'm so far removed from the epicenter of the earthquake that about half of my town felt an extremely slight earth quake, while the other half (my half) felt nothing at all. As for the hurricane, it's been downgraded to a tropical storm apparently. I'm not concerned; I think I'll be alright.

Eh, I'm originally from Florida, so hurricanes become routine after awhile. But an earthquake was unexpected for the east coast.

well, Massachusetts hasn't had a hurricane in my lifetime I don't think (I turned 20 a little over a month ago), so it's a fairly new experience for me. As for earthquakes, I've never experienced an earthquake in my life, and frankly, I don't think I want to.

Well, now I live in L.A. So earthquakes happen every now and then. My first earthquake that I encountered in California will forever rest in the back of my mind. I was in the mall, and I was at an EB Games (which was on the second floor of the mall), then all of a sudden, the entire mall starts shaking. You could really feel it on the second floor, and while I was frozen, I looked around at all of the kids in the store who were so calm and unfazed by what was happening. Games were falling off of the shelf, and a kid picks up one of the games, reads the back of the title, and then puts it back on the shelf looking somewhat disappointed that the game didn't seem more entertaining. This was my first experience of an earthquake and I couldn't be more embarrassed. Apparently in California, the "Stop, Duck, and Cover" doesn't apply when an earthquake hits. You just carry on and act like nothing happened.

Wow. I would have done the same thing as you, quite honestly.

Here in the Mojave Desert (Southern California) we often don't even notice earthquakes; we are accustomed to the smaller ones. I slept through one that even my parents thought was strong quite a few years ago. I woke up and wondered why half of my furniture moved a few inches over! LOL

I can't find a YouTube link, but the comedian Gabriel Iglesias ("I'm not fat, I'm Fluffy!") mentioned riding out an earthquake while eating pancakes, and having little problem enjoying his meal.
