Happy B-Day, My Dear =)

I think el nino is German. The catalog website (forgive me, I can't recall the name) they all put up displays in German by default.

No, I'm Swiss. We do speak Swiss-German but since it doesn't really exist in written form we use German instead, that's why the page shows up in German by default. Actually I thought I had changed it to English but obviously I haven't.

  how does that work?

and, BTW, you guys are hardcore. Getting arrested for PCE love... you don't see 'hardcore' SNK fans doing that, now do ya? 

[SpaceRunaway]

Oh, Jesus.  I just found this out through Joystiq.

Swiss-German is basically a dialect from German, that's why there is no written form. Swiss-German itself has a lot of dialects depending on the region in which you live. Some of them are pretty hardcore and just not understandable if you are not used to it, even for other Swiss people. Therefore I'm kind of glad they don't use their dialect language when writing things. :-"

I see. So it's like the south, here in the US; if they wrote the way they speak, it would be confusing.

That's very true and interesting! A lot of kids in school get in trouble for doing that and struggle with English in school because of it.

That's why the much-maligned "Ebonics" program was started, to try to bridge a gap between kids writing the way they speak and the way English is traditionally supposed to be written and spoken.

but i also have to say, that nowadays we swiss people are the better "germany-speaking" people than the germans theirself

Thanks, I started adding more games to my collection...

[Tatsujin]

now we proudly like to present our new killer app.

The Export function!!

The new feature can be found at the bottom of your profile's page. You can export your game collection or the games still missing in your collection into a CSV or a TXT file. Some filter options are available as well as a switch to turn off the japanese kanji/kana characters, for those whose computer has some problems reading them.

Be sure to use this new feature and buying the same game more than once because you forgot if you already own it are definitely a thing of the past. There are only few things considered more professional than walking into Super Potato or Retro Friends, armed with your to-buy list, and browsing through the shelves looking for the games on your list. You can even fake some japanese language skills if you want to.^^

N-Joy
