It's the Hungarian equivalent of "rabidly anti-gay politician or preacher revealed to be gay" in the US, only here for some reason it usually involves a truck stop.

Oh yeah. At one time the best hope for a proper Ace Combat game before AC7 was unveiled. I'll have to put that on my wishlist and keep an eye on it for later in the month.
