    They become so much friendlier once you know the bits they're made up from, though.

    Fair enough.

    both my parents are British my dad is 1/2 Hungarian through making me part Hungarian i still call my self a New Zealander just because this was where i was born.

    Damn, I didn't realize it was already 2. I haven't eaten a damn thing today yet. I really should, don't want to go to work on an empty stomach. I have to re-train a kid at my work tonight. He needs a re-fresher on the closing procedures. So that should be fun.

    Effort can be effortless when it consists of playing videogames. I learned most of the kanji I know without really thinking about it~

    Ah, that always makes thing interesting.

    How much do you reckon this is worth? I'm not exactly up to date on the prices of rarer Gameboy models.

    I know what it means, I just brought it up as an example of a long kanji string that is actually made up of 3 easy to learn bits.

    You just buy games and don't actually play them?

    I hardly play anything any more either. ._. I wish I played more, because my other foreign languages would be soooo much better if I was passionate enough to play through games in those languages. :/

    I would say 30(low)-50(high. That's based on eBay completed listings. So I don't think I low-balled him that badly.
