For a long time after playing Beyond Castle Wolfenstein I was quoting the speech clips. Since there were only like four clips my reppit-tire was pretty short and confusing.

heh, like Flack mentioning the DND computer game got him interested in lock-picking.. Return to Castle Wolfenstein (the first engine upgrade after Wolfenstein and the add-ons for MS-DOS) totally got me sucked into wanting to learn more about German everything. Between playing that and listening to Rammstein while I created the "Return to Flood Control Dam #3" map based on the location from Zork, as well as loving the German section of Busch Gardens and making German friends on the Internet.. I can maybe speak and understand sub-elementary level lol. Maybe 2x as much as you! haha
I still think it's an awesome language, and it can be sort of easy to grasp simple stuff as a lot of English is based in it. An old Australian friend that ran into me a few years back and wanted to speak some German as he knew I was into it. At that point I was embarrassed because I had lost the extreme interest I used to have and had gone back to trying to remember/know more Japanese. In retrospect, I feel like I made the right decision.
