Tam Mcgleish Slings Crude Scottish Slang in His Far Cry 3 Review
Andrew Sztein — February 16, 2013 — Pop Culture
Scottish slang doesn't come any more hilariously rude and crude as it does in Tam McGleish's review of Far Cry 3.
There are lots of funny and angry media critics of all sorts on the internet, but this has got to be the first I've witnessed that has the critic going into a bizarre Scottish boat captain character. The Scottish slang soon starts flying as McGleish starts using language that would be familiar to anyone who has ever seen a Guy Ritchie movie. Good news, if you're having trouble understanding him, the YouTube video comes with handy subtitles to decipher the occasionally baffling but always funny Scottish slang.
The video really hits a crescendo when McGleish starts talking about memorable game soundtracks and adds lyrics to classic game tunes.
