The Schadenfreude is me: Last week I got a new laptop and was trying to find the Government contract for MS Office for personal computers so I could get some cheap office action. Couldn't find it, gave up, and settled for year of Office 365. Today I was notified that the Government MS Office contract has been renewed and I can buy Office Pro Plus 2016 for $10. Guess my wife is getting Office for Valentines day.

So what I'm getting from these posts is that the Australian accent is a speech impediment? I admit, I couldn't understand a single thing he said at the end there, but it can't be all that bad.

It was actually pretty easy to understand what he was saying. Is this like the bad tattoo thread where goons pretend to not be able to read lettering?

Yeah it's pretty easy initially, but the severe panic makes the guy harder to understand (which would be the case with nearly any accent) and it came out pretty funny. Are you a goon that "pretends" to not understand human emotion? http://i.imgur.com/KTkPxO2.gifv

Baronjutter posted:Is that an actual real accent or just an Australian with a heavy speech impediment / mild retardation? It's what we'd call a 'lebo' accent here. As long as you're not full blown rich white racist here you've heard that accent, sure it's a thick accent but it's not any different to say having a thick Irish accent or whatever. Even knowing what he was saying I found it hard with the subtitles, they throw you off a bit.

It takes something you could reason out and fills that space with stuff that is plausible. poo poo, I'm the whargarbl whisperer here and struggled with it a bit because of them.

That video is also cool because it shows what a real lightning strike sounds like when it's "near by".

I understood this perfectly well. Also, watch with the CC on, almost as bad/funny as the subtitles on the Aussie vid.
