A mission! Should you choose to accept it, this internet will self-destruct in five seconds, etc etc. Go and get the Section 8 beta from Fileplanet, and find out what is a-happenin’ in this multiplayer sci-fi shooter. Blues reports that even this simple task won’t be made too easy, as “this event is a staggered beta with keys distributed first come, first served with limited access. Beta keys will be distributed on a regular schedule.” Sounds limited.
And yet, if successful, you will earn some kind of imaginary badge from the RPS Downloading And Playing Academy Of Testing Games That Are Not Finished Yet. Go!

Pace, I’d invite you to examine the map you linked.
There is no North America on it. There is a “Northern America”, which is not the same thing as “North America”.
“North America” is a continent. “Northern America” is apparently a UN-defined “geographical subregion”. This post title says “North America”, not “Northern America”.
I invite you to use a little more care in the future to prevent another embarrassing incident in which you fail to demonstrate the ability to read.
Oh my. Well if you’re that worried about the extra “ern” in that graph, read the whole article then.
If you want a better example, then take this quote from Fowler’s Modern English Usage as referenced in that article: “”the term ‘North America’ may be used to mean the United States and Canada together.”
All I meant before is that there isn’t one rigorous definition for what North America is. Hell, in some parts of the world the continent is just America (North, South & Central all in one.) (like on the olympic rings.) Anyhow, most of the time it seems with regard to games for release dates and regional releases and such, North America means the US and Canada.
And my goodness I certainly meant no offense, apologies if you took it that way.
