Did not know that

Did you see the games I got today He asked

Oh, did you get games?

I left them out for you to see He said, sounding slightly aggrieved

You know this may come as a surprise, but there are so many games that one can't tell the new from the old. Now, one does realise that implies less fascination and involvement in your latest obsession hobby...

Yes, yes it does He interjected

... than would be polite, but life is short

He glared in one's direction for a brief minute before launching into a synopsis of one of them...

And the original of this was in German...

A large portion of games come out of Germany and there are often no translated versions or they take a very long time to come out. A section of the gaming community learns the basics of the language so they don't have to wait...

And you thought those geeks learning Klingon were sad little shut ins.

This is the later version of the game He carried on. It was a very limited run as it's all made out of recycled materials. Of course it's in the original Japanese, but I have the translation here...

It's actually rather beautiful. We aren't going to play that are we? It seems like such a shame... rather akin to using a fine oil painting as a placemat.

Of course we are going to play it He said, looking somewhat scandalised at the notion of not playing a game.

Sighs guess we are not quite at the stage of the game equivalency of toys collectable figurines... yet :/
