We don'/t actually say oot & aboot, but to n ear uised to "owwwt & abowwwt" it  might seesm that way -- we pronouce "ou" correctly, is all. (more than oo, less than ow)

Yup -- kids want the CGI graphics & THX sound -- I prefer subtleties.  They're  the same for video games -- I just want to skip the splash screens & get to the game itself, to see if it has any plot or challenges for my mind..

I no longer even try these DVD games -- if you require that much dayta -- it's  not my kind of game, which fit well on a floppy diskette, including user data!

Not my style -- they focus more on the abuse & denuding of teen girls than on  trying to scare me. . .
