  1. Well... its doom in name only then on Doom Movie Update · · Score: 1

    'The monsters aren't from hell, but rather people mutated by some nasty super-virus although the monsters look very similar to those in the game.'

  16. There are better options on Whistle While You Work · · Score: 1

    Doing a direct translation from say, Japanese to English has been giving linguists and translators a lot of head aches. Things like "out of sight, out of mind" come out as "Blind insanity" What looks promising is a third language, like Esperanto have more promise as a "middle ware" language. Japanese Esperanto English, for examples. Whistles, just don't have the vocabulary.
