Anyone Know This Language?

That's French, Philly. I'm a bit rusty, but I can still recognize it after having taken four years of it. :)

Roughly translated, it says:

"Scans of old video game magazines. There's nothing like seeing scans of Nintendo Power from 1988 to understand the phrase, 'awesome graphics!'" :)

Areala basically had it right.

Scans of old video game magazines. Nothing is better than to see scans of Nintendo Power from 1988 to appreciate the phrase "awesome graphics".

I just thought that everyone, at least in North America and Europe, would know what French looked like. Maybe that is because I live in Canada and cannot get away from that language, but I know what Spanish looks like when I see it :).

As an interesting side note, Poil, the name of the site, is the correct spelling, at least in France, for Body Hair. I don't know if they use that word here or note, but if they due, it's an odd choice for a URL.

Thanks, E-Day. I figured I'd mess something up, and I'd take a French translation from a Canadian any day over my own attempts to dredge up memories from a decade ago. :)

Keep in mind I don't really speak it, and my comprehension of it is basic. I am not sure my translation was 100% correct, though "Rien de mieux de voir des scan de" can't really be translated directly without sound broken; "Nothing better to see scans of".

I'll take "idiomatic French phrases" for $1,000, Alex... :)
