This is only true in America. I have never heard anyone refer to a tissue as a "Kleenex" here in Australia, yet I heard it all the time when I lived in America. Same goes for the Coke thing. I just don't understand that one... You're not drinking coke, you're drinking a poor imitator or some other soft drink entirely.
Oh yes... Soft drink = Pop / Soda / Soda-pop or whatever you want to call it here. No one says "I'm drinking a soft drink" though, they say the brand name or generic type, i.e. Sprite, 7-Up, Kirk's... as "Lemonade".
The same goes for Xerox. You copy something here. You don't Xerox it! Silly Americans.
Do what I do... get some poundin' beats happening and just dance away at home to them. The neighbours might not fully appreciate your choice of music, but stuff 'em! If you're not into that, could always go to a rave / dance club and dance away.
I also walk to and from work every day and own a bike which I take out on weekends.
The EOB trilogy of games were simply awesome. I love them so much! Some seriously classic dungeon crawling there... I took a party from EOB1 all the way through to end of EOB3 recently running the games through dosbox. Tempted to do it again.
