Silence falls over the table of a rather posh waterfront restaurant in Vancouver, where I'm sat surrounded by various members of the team from Relic Entertainment. "It's a moose." "What? Are you kidding me? Look at its nose! That's no moose. It's a caribou!"

Canadians, eh? Pretty much since we sat down, they've been comedically bickering, and I've just inadvertently triggered the next argument by innocently asking which animal features on the back of a Canadian quarter. Over the following hours, not only does my knowledge of horned ungulates increase tenfold, but I'm witness to debates on the value of local-language voiceovers and whether the representation of Canadians in South Park is accurate, and I learn that the producer of Relic said he "wanted to crap his pants" when he heard the V1 rocket in Company Of Heroes.
