I don't even like Dizzy its just not very funny to have your idenity used as an excuse to attack you as a racist and a pedophile apparently, especially on an american forum talking about a japanese videogame series.

Like yeah sorry about the british empire guys, my bad. I won't do it again.

Sorry I was tricked into thinking this was a cool place to talk about sonic related stuff with interesting people by all the good posters recently, I am the fool for being upset when someone said something lovely out of nowhere. Damned to defend an egg i don't even particularly like because i think its lovely to call something blanket racist when its about as objectionable as the game Spelunky is.

Great job I'll gently caress off now, i hope you're happy.

Operation Legacy Dizzy was suppressed by the UK government for its "flattering but overly accurate portrayal". Leaked copies of their interrogations show that when questioned the Oliver Twins stated they had no direct knowledge of Operation Legacy and had merely "written what they would have done in her majesty's shoes". Despite being interviewed separately they made these statements simultaneously, with identical intonation, and while staring unblinkingly at the birthplace of you, the reader.

That being said Dizzy 4: voyage to the paedoph-isles was a polarising game even in England. The nautical theme and minigame in which you spread cultural hegemony was universally praised for its deep mechanics, with the ability to use phrenology to determine optimal servitude assignments also receiving praise for being an accurate depiction of period appropriate scientific understanding, but there was a mixed reaction to the Gary Glitter final boss because while yes, you were beating the poo poo out of Gary Glitter, you were doing to to gain access to his massive store of children stolen from the sets of BBC light entertainment programs, and the subsequent cinematic ending sequence was regarded as being an inappropriate fit for the ZX Spectrum's processing capabilities, as well as being in enormously poor taste.

Each Dizzy game contains eldritch runes to retroactively strengthen and enrich the former British empire. Each time these runes are collected the breadth, power, duration, and above all else cruelty of the Empire is strengthened. We would all be living under the thumb of The Eternal Monarch if not for the Prime Twin insisting on hiding one of them behind the weird mouse puzzle nobody ever figures out seriously I've got like three kinds of cheese here and none of them work what am I missing.

Man, I'm glad I avoided the Dizzy games as a kid - much too problematic.

I much preferred Auf Wiedersehen Monty where Monty Mole had to sell 'acquired' art works and gold to fund a trip to Argentina with the aid of a Catholic Boys Club.

I think the mainstream view of gold and silver investing is that it is for crazies like glen beck fans.

I've read that some "financial experts" recommend a 5-10% allocation in gold/silver but global assets in gold/silver are only estimated at 0-2%.
