Can anyone who knows french (FRENCH french not Canadian French as the day I pay attention to Canadian French is the day I use American English instead English English) confirm that the reason why the game Elebits got a name change for the EU was because when translated, it sounded like "and the cocks" in french?
Elebits = Eledees in EU all because of France?

I confirm that name, But I NEVER thought about what it could means !
for me Elebits is just Elebits, nothing more.
The name "Et les bites" is nothing I would have thought about

ZOMG! HIDE THE CHILDREN! If you hold your tongue and say Elebits, someone may think your saying "and the cocks" in French!
EDIT: This just in! Also while holding your tongue, saying ship sounds like your saying a naughty word for poop!

Heh. Yes, yes it does. But that joke got old when we were playing 16-*bit* consoles.
Oh, well. Each generation needs its poop jokes.

I'm a computer science/mathematics teacher, and when having to speak about bits there's always 3 or 4 students laughing... and they're more than 20 years old...
but the best thing was PTAS (polynomial time approximation scheme) which sounded in french like "bitch", when I was a student myself...

Who says the French would be pissed off? I thought they liked that sort of thing.Yeah well if they just named it "and the cocks" to piss the french of would have been better
Edit: Recipes for Cock.
What the fuck? No seriously, what the fuck is that article all about? Bit? Offensive?
"And this games console has 32 mega bit....."
"OMG CALL THE POLICE"
nonetheless, I'm still waiting for this game to come out.

@SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that

@Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.+1 -

I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
