Australian here. Sometimes it’s not really about shortening a name but making it sound informal as fuck.
Also if you turn jan Into janza, you get the benefit of having a name that someone could yell at you while slightly drunk which is pretty much how we decide to do anything down here.
Agreed! Informality and 'mateship', even if the encounter is transitory.
The average Aussie wants to be everyone's friend, it's humbling, makes you proud to be one.
@dinoracha: He has talked about it and said something along the lines of you can still enjoy the game and skip the areas that you can't do, which I guess is true. I remember Jeff said he got around it by taking screenshots and using photoshop or something to tell which colours were which but yea I really couldn't be bothered to do that.
I really liked the game but gave up in the tower thingy where there was just way too many puzzles I just couldn't figure out because of my colourblindness and it ended up with me banging my head against the wall for hours before I gave up and uninstalled it.
@wasdf: To me Jeff sounds keen on the game but he's hoping it's not just ME3.1 but rather wants something more innovative. I'd liken in to how revolutionary the iPhone was but now from 5-7 it all seems kinda stale from one generation to the next. Sure they bring new features and no matter what you're probably going to like it but sometimes you want the boundaries of what you thought you knew to be completely wrong and instead revel in something that's wholly new and exciting.
