Alright, this isnt that big of a deal, but I just thought it was funny:
http://www.gameinformer.com/NR/exeres/F2735938-17A0-46BC-80B6-9A59AB965EFC.htm

after reading it I thought it meant subtitles, like in the name: "prince of persia: warrior within"

it means subtitles for deaf people

I felt really stupid

/facepalm

heh, I'm suprised they don't do it already to be honest, theres so much fuss about catering for the 'less abled' that i'm suprised games get away with so little..
I'm all for subtitles in games, I usually have them enabled if they're there since I tend to miss little bits of what people say to me.

Hey Ubisoft, subtitles in Far Cry 2 are great but why not fix all of the guns being mirrored while you're at it? Games that talk about how realistic they are and have messed up weapon models annoy me to no end. End rant, back on topic.

I occasionally use subs normally, especially for single player games. Games are going the Hollywood route these days, making explosions and music twice the volume of the dialog.

AWESOME-O

I like subtitles, I 99% of the time get what they speak about but sometimes that 1% is crucial for the story and I'd prefer not to miss that. And subtitles help with that.

Subtitles are great in my opinion. Since I don't speak English naturally, I very often fail to understand something when slang or accents are used.

For an example, there are some lines in the Meet the Demoman video that I to this day still don't understand - he says something that I best can describe as "TAH you fine dandies, so proud [...] come and get me I say, I'll be waitin' on you with whbdfywedwo grimstone [...] with an unhappy, bloody egg".

It also took me months to realize that the Soldier was talking about Sun Tzu and not some random guy called Fanzoo.

I may have double posted, but at least my post was on topic.....:P

...so proud so cock sure, prancing aboot with your heads full of eyeballs, come and get me I say... Its something like that, being from the UK I guess I find a scottish accent easier to understand than most of the rest of you but I don't know it exactly since I can't remember it :p

Yeah, I get that part, it's the parts I actually wrote that I don't understand, I just put in [...] so I didn't have to write it all.
