Hey all, I'm here in the US, but for whatever reason when I log in to this site, my gamer tag shows up in Japanese rather than English. Same if I'm looking at someone else's profile--the gamertag is in Japanese. Weird.

Anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? Otherwise, I'm going to have to go get a Japanese 101 book to read it.

Also, while we're on the topic, why is it my gamer tag shows no activity? I've played 100+ H2 online games but nothing shows up, and I think my gamer tag is indeed linked to the XBox console.

Thanks in advance!

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

Everything shows up fine for me. I honestly have no idea what is going on.

Thanks Achilles.

I've figured out that it has to do somehow with the way my Mac interacts with the xbox.com site. When I go there, it jumps right into the Japanese version and I have to go to the address bar to replace the "ja-JP" with "en-US." Now I just gotta figure out that problem. Nuking the cookies and flushing the cache have not done it, and it happens regardless of the browser.

Stranger and stranger...

Heh, just to keep readers amused...

My gamertag is no longer in Japanese. It's in French. At least I can sort of read that. :-)

I find this rather hard to believe. As Duardo said, a screenshot would help.

Ah, another wondrous mystery of Microsoft. Maybe they just don't like Macs?
