Brussles is so close. Yet so far away...

Sorry should have posted the details here, but thought that most people probably wouldn't be able to make it across to England for the testing ...
There is a comfy couch available in the offices though |

Hey, I've always wanted to visit England. So long as you'd give me time off to visit the motherlands of Scotland, Ireland, and Holland.
And you wouldn't even have to pay, other than food and lodging. Perhaps a little spending money, but nothing major. I'll even foot the bill for the airfare. |

Would I be revealing myself as an insensitive and North American-centric Canadian bastard if I expressed concern that the hockey simulation that us fans have been waiting a lifetime for is apparently going to be tested, exclusively, by people who live within driving distance of London, England?

I'd agree, but it could be worse - at least it's not driving distance of Paris, France. |

I'm sure SI realizes this and will get some testers from bonafide hockey nations. Plus, Riz (Finland) is at the helm so I have confidence.

I'm sure you guys would feel the same if they announced that the most anticipated soccer sim in years would be tested exclusively by the citizens of Winnipeg. |

No need to lose sleep over this. The idea might sound a bit weird (yeah, what do the english know about ice hockey, lol) but I'm positive we will have some hardcore hockey fans to test the game here. At first you might think that England is the last place to associate with ice hockey, but the game actually has long traditions in this country. Actually, when I moved over from Finland to England, my dosage of live NHL on TV (on terrestrial tv, not pay-per-view) went up from 2+finals/season to 2 games a week + some extra games during playoffs and all finals naturally. And London especially is a very international city, with thousands of american and canadian people here. So rest assured, the testers will have all the required hockey knowledge to help us polish up the game |

Well it isn't a street hockey game, or a field hockey game. So I think 'ice hockey' is valid...

Nope, finnish Actually, I tend to sometimes use "ice hockey" instead of just "hockey", since in UK they usually mean "field hockey" when talking about just "hockey". It's all a bit weird but just a matter of words. Now trying to explaining "floorball", which is the sport I play (it's big in Scandinavia)....now that's a tougher task |

Oh, floorball - where to begin... well, you play with sticks and a light plastic ball on a gym court the size of a basketball field. The sticks are carbon graphite, there's no pads on anyone except the goalie, who's kneeling in front of the goal. Apart from that, it's basically hockey with less hitting.

The "hockey" / "ice hockey" thing killed me when I first got to Europe. I would start talking about hockey and someone would stop me and ask, "You mean... ice hockey?"
It's ridiculous.

In England for some reason we always differentiate between 'Hockey' (ie. Field Hockey - played on grass) and 'Ice Hockey'. Same thing here with 'American Football' and 'Football',. English people are trained to be Eccentric, it brings in the tourists |

Is the fair rate based on our current salary and would reasonable travel expenses include weekly flights to Washington D.C.? |

No, I understand that there are countries where the distinction needs to be made. It's just one of the things that really annoys Canadians, while nobody else in the world even notices. One of the many, many things. (To our American friends, telling a Canadian about "ice hockey" is the equivalent to interupting a discussion on basketball to ask "Whoa, hold on, are we talking about indoor basketball?") |
