Dink article

I never came across a Dink article on a Dutch site, but perhaps that's just me.

That's exactly what I think of C++

Oh, and they called the ducks "ganzen" (=geese)...

I'd translate it for you Merlin, but then the point of it all would be lost if we look at the topic. It's a Dutch review

SO was it a good or bad review?

It was good. He said it was a bit oldfashioned (graphics, sounds, length), but very enjoyable. He praised the humour in it; it reminded him of Monkey Island.
The author already responded to the comments made and said he planned on downloading some D-mods.

Eh, the text probably loses some of its meaning, but this one helped me understand the text quite well.

What horrible translations come from worldlingo! I'm no expert in translating text, but I think I can do better then:

On a day which exists such as all other from looking after varkens and tidying up other meaningless jobs zul you as Dink are return at your house to retrieve this in flames.

Anything's better than nothing, in case I need a translation of a French text And yeah, worldlingo (or any other free machine translating service) doesn't translate the text into fluent sentences, but it's usually good enough to get a grasp of the basic idea of the sentence.

"doesn't translate the text into fluent sentences"

--> "and of course the PC. where your now also behind sits."

Though I like the translation of "pijl en boog" better: "arrow and bent"

Heh. Doesn't work for the English speaking people. They say bow and arrow while we say arrow and bow (in our Dutch words of course).

yes, it's a very untechnical comparison to the question: "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
