The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim should've been called The Elder Sc : V - Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls V ; Norway,

Most of the Nord names are Scandinavian or old Viking names, the Jarl was a Scandinavian title, and Norway looks almost the same as Skyrim,
But it's just Skyrim, because there are no dragons or other mythical creatures there, unfortunately.

We have free healthcare.

You have taxes of greater value than the cost of buying healthcare, but are too stupid to make the connection between a tax payment and later rendering of services.

Afghanistan: Several of my friends returning from that hell-hole have a similar story. Apparently, Canadians were known as "The Flail of the Devil" in Kandahar for all the trouble we gave the Taliban.

Not really. Muslims call the USA "the great Satan" so the flail of the devil means that you're nothing but a tool that the USA uses when it pleases.

But you also have....http://www.screened.com/zap-rowsdower/15-1511/all-images/132-1974574/dower/131-248857/

Plus, not nearly enough fruity elves in Skyrim- nothing like Canadia at all. Also, as a Boston native...nice riot, Vancouver. Stay classy

hahaha!!! I saw that movie on MST, good one.

I'd rather pay 50% income tax and get subsidised fuel, groceries, free education and free healthcare.
It's like a form of communism that actually works, because if you work harder you do get extra money but everyone gets the necessities.

As a Canadian I do not endorse this post! :stare:

You need a lower cut shirt.

It's exactly like Texas.

Everybody has a concealed weapon. The crime rate is low as hell. Many people support conservative views. Most people have almost as much patriotism for their state as they do their country. The people are hawt. The wildlife is tough as [censored]. There's diversity in the people. A lot of people think the natives are mindless, lawless savages, when they're in fact just like other areas more often than not. There's diversity in the landscape, despite many people viewing it as only one type of biome.

See, I can do it to.

Little do you know the Nords are vikings and Skyrim looks like norway.

I live in Victoria, and it's nothing like Skyrim.

I'm Canadian, but I can't say I've found the game to remind me very much of Canada. Except when I hear General Tullius (voiced by Michael Hogan) speak. Hogan's accent is unmistakeably Canadian. Never heard of the guy until BSG came along and when I first heard him speak during the BSG pilot episode, I knew he was Canadian.

I didn't feel it was like Canada at all, though some of the Nords sound a bit like Cape Bretoners rather than the suggested Sveedish.

LOL
