@GrimaceXL: What? No.

You shouldn't be able to get water without carbonation. Rock on, Czechs.

GrimaceXL

@wisconsinista: Water without carbonation is usualy with blue colored bottle or label.

@badasscat: I hate reading Czechoslovakia in world media etc. We'll be always brothers with Slovakians but reffering as Czechoslovakia is annoying!!!

@Torgen thinks AAA means "Costs $60": Oh wait, I might be thinking of Budapest.

Torgen thinks AAA means “Costs $60”

@wisconsinista: Pink bottle cap means it's sparkling. Blue means it's still.

Torgen thinks AAA means “Costs $60”

Czechoslovakians deserve the smack across the face. Try, just try to find water there without carbonation. For another good time grab a cab in Praha for a vegas priced ride for only 1.5 miles.

I'm trying to hold back a lot of laughter in the middle of a school computer lab. -1 Brightness for EA, +2 Laughter.

Americo

and btw, ask all those people in the Czech Republic and Slovakia how they like their countries referred to as "Czechoslovakia". You may as well call Canada Great Britain.

badasscat

@meandering_drivel: Yeah, and those people are called "uneducated".

You shouldn't be referencing the Kellie Picklers of the world to support your argument. "I thought Europe was a country!" is not cute or funny. It's just dumb. So is thinking Czechoslovakia actually exists.

Are you planning a vacation in Transylvania, Yugoslavia or the Ottoman Empire any time soon? Better buy those tickets fast.

badasscat

One more reason why EA sucks.

Mr.SithNinja

When I was born, it was "Czechoslovakia". That's good enough for me because then's the moment the world was perfected.

@lennyKravic:

Pretty impressive, in this country people think you're some sort of weirdo if you can speak a foreign language. I like what I've seen of the Czech Republic (Prague basically), I visit every so often because my wife was an exchange student there a few years ago and has friends still living there.

Sorry about the stag parties, by the way.

phicaluk

And thought I was going crazy when I looked at Command & Conquer 3's box and saw that you needed to be 13+ in the Russian SFSR.

Jagzthebest

Man, one has to wonder how EA still has so much money, considering the marketing revenue that must be put into marketing to Czechoslovakia.

Seriously, do they also have warnings in various regions for Pripyat, Bodie, Centrailia and Hashima Island?

RawSteelUT

that's strange... I thought czechoslovakia still existed... many people still refer to the czech replubic as Czechoslovakia.

meandering_drivel

It depends on where youre from.

In the UK people would generally use "EA need"

Other places would use "EA needs"

Theyre both correct.

all america need to learn geography, not only EA...

@thedap: I've noticed it as well. Whenever the editors here refer to EA, they refer to them as plural or many (like "they"), instead of one company. It's bothersome to me too, is there a grammatical expert here that can clear this up for us?

grizgza

The headline is grammatically incorrect. It should say: 'EA Needs History, Geography Lessons'. Am I the only one that notices this multiple times on this site?

thedap

Maybe they had that box on store for longer than you would expect :P

Eonix

Is 13 an age in the Czech equivalent of COPPA, or an unnecessary application of American laws to other countries?

Estel

@phicaluk: I think there is a lot of children in CZ which can read in english in 13 years. Usually in 13 they have about 3 years of english on elementary school and many of them have individual courses. And at least if you're gamer at 13, you must read in english, localization of games especially on consoles is about 3 titles a year (last year Pinata, Forza and PGR4), PC gaming is better there are more localized games

lennyKravic

they use templates all the time and need to update their records.

Strauss Zelnick isn't Emperor Palpatine, he is Dr. Doom. He wants a few Eastern European countries under his iron rule.

ban_hammer

Czechoslovakia will rise again!

VertexGroover

THIS IS SAD!

But if I had money like EA does, I'd say anything I want, too.

MarshmallowMark

@ArmyofJuan (My 360 gives me evil stares everytime i touch m...:

There's a legal age of consent in most coutries, isn't there? 16 here, for example.

phicaluk

Would Czechs (and Slovaks, let's not forget the Slovaks here) under the age of 13 even be expected to be able to read video game instructions in English?

Here in the UK, our children can barely speak English so if our eastern European friends can manage this I'm impressed

phicaluk

Some people don't seem to understand when im attempting to be funny. I just tried to point out that 13+ is an odd age to sell a game thats generally regarded as 18+ everywhere else. Maybe eastern europe is just more mature than we are since they were once a part of mother russia.

@lennyKravic: 15 for sex? theres a legal age for sex?

ArmyofJuan

@ArmyofJuan (My 360 gives me evil stares everytime i touch m...: In Czech republic 18 is 18, you can drink alcohol, drive cars... Other special age is 15 when you can have sex...
13 is nothing, just 13 :)

lennyKravic

@ArmyofJuan (My 360 gives me evil stares everytime i touch m...: 13 "Hungary" is the same as 18 "American" is the same as 14 "Fashion Magic"

FlashIV

Army of Two's been delayed so long that box was right when they first printed it.

Manny

Wait, are they saying that you needed to be 13 when Czechoslovakia still existed. In other words... um... 29 years old?

Spiderbait

Some people live in the past, no need to go out of your way to mess everything up for them.

You kids and your rap music!

Gigith

I think they gave up buying Take Two and are just buying countries now in the hopes of expanding into international entities and real estate.

Nissan288

Well regardless if it exists or not, you STILL have to be 13+.

Is 13 in Hungary/Czech years 18 or something?

ArmyofJuan

My bad guys, Czechoslovakia is the name of my new clan for Army of Two. Sorry.

Sniper_Zegai

You'll always be in my heart, Czechoslovakia.

Geirskogul

C'mon EA, just buy the countries involved and rename them!

El-Suave

Maybe they know something we don't?

Maybe EA is planning on buying the Czech republic and reinstating Czechoslovakia!

Take that Activision!

Grocerspride

I guess they skipped geography and picked marketing instead.

Cham

they just want money instead.
