Well, there's 24 people still playing it now on Steam


I never even heard of this game.


I actually find your comment very useful and therefore upvoted it.


Could you address his arguments rather then himself? A little background doesn't hurt, but let me make up me mind before calling people names.

Also I don't necessarily agree with him, but at no point in the interview a housing market is mentioned.

It's quite funny for me, because (from the article) in Slovene the dialect is refered to as "kočevarščina".

I don't know Slovene, but I speak one of the Slavic languages and it sounds to me as "cat's growl".

Not very nice maybe, but we're talking about meanings long lost in time.

We call Germans: "Niemcy" and it comes from the word "niemy", which now means "mute", but used to mean "foreigner" in proto-slavic. We don't think of mutes when meeting Germans tho. We never did.

Of course no ill will intended here. Just a bit of history perhaps.


"Kočevsko" is the Slovene word for the Gottschee region, most likely just a slovenified version of the original German name. "Kočevarji" then refers to the people from this region and "kočevarščina" to their language.

Also note that the emphasis in the above terms is on the letter e, not on the o - "kočévsko".




+1 for TMDB. A breath of fresh air in comparison, simple but elegant. Also has a comprehensive API.


I feel like this is still relevant today:

Still describes the current state of affairs perfectly. I'd love to see them on snowy 2 today.

I can only imagine the comment warnings on that segment considering that, sadly, John Clarke passed away nine years ago.


He was towed outside the environment. (I think he would laugh at this)
