If you are good at handling defeat then ok. Come over to PS3 and try me.

No, it's called "High Stakes on the Vegas Strip Poker Edition".

How about an xbox 360? I also have one of those but I don't currently have an XBOX Live account... or Gold account or whatever it's called that allows you to play online games.
I could be persuaded to get one though if I found someone who wanted to play poker or , especially XCOM Enemy Within.

My family used to drop everything we were doing once a month to play risk on the sega genesis. I revisited it as a young adult and it still slapped.
Not sure why the paint job matters, when strategy is the meat and potatoes of the game.
As I said, context matters. If you're just in an office building, then we'd use "gas" the same way anyone else would. If we smell gasoline specifically, then we'd use the full word, "gasoline." If you're driving and say "I need to get some gas", it's pretty clear you mean fuel for your car.
Everyone constantly makes subconscious observations about context in everyday language. It's important for communication. This one only seems strange to you since it's new to you.
For example, you don't get confused if someone says "cool." Without context, that could mean 800 different things: the temperature, someone's personality, the quality of a movie, it could be an affirmation of an idea, etc.
If someone asked "got a light?", they're probably asking for a lighter to ignite a cigarette. If we're on a camping trip and it's dark out, that same question could suddenly be referring to a flashlight.
We don't get tripped up on these things because we evolved to understand language.
Cool. It's still not gasoline though.
It's like referring to any dairy product as "milk." Yogurt, butter, and cheese are different things, even if they are derived from milk. It's the same for gasoline, kerosine, and most diesel fuel.
Did you know the term "gasoline(spelled 'gasolene' then)" actually predates "petrol"? That was its original name.

Yeah, strategy with a massive helping of luck thrown in. But yeah, it's a great game I agree. Risk Urban Assault is a great spin on the classic version of game and it's lots of fun as well. It is also sold in Playstation Store.

Petroleum, diesel and kerosene are hydrocarbons that are extracted from crude oil. They are then used as fuel for travel. Moron! Yes, ok, it can evaporate as a gas. Propane does as well 😂 but the petrol you put in your car is still a liquid!

You can see that the battle animations are pretty cool. IRIS is a nice addition to the game as well. I actually named one of my kitties after her because I liked her so much lol.

Again, no one ever said it was a gas. We pointed out that it's short for "gasoline", and most folks in America say it, when you said only rednecks use the term.
You do you though, bro.

I was being hyperbolic, I don't think anyone who has seen at least one episode of an American TV show doesn't know gas can be short for gasoline, it's hardly new to me.
