Boned Indeed

Tycho from Penny Arcade had some things to say about gaming in Canada. I don't have to say that I agree with him totally, but I guess I just did anyway.



"I will tell you this much: Canadian Gamers as a whole are pretty much getting boned at the moment, and boned thoroughly, by the exchange rate. The bone may need to be surgically removed. Canadian Dollars (called "poutines") are at par with US currency, but their games cost ten dollars more. Ten whole Goddamned dollars. The reason I make a point of it is that when I put a mere sixty dollars down on a game, I already feel as though I've been robbed at gunpoint. I have no idea how the gentle Canadian must feel about this state of affairs, where the dark analogies might travel from there. I assume they run their hands slowly along their abdomen, looking for the tell-tale signs of organ removal."
