I really should get the motivation together to re-start my German studies, after 18 years or so.

I remember the Germans were big on trading games on such. Can you recommend some not too obsolete ones I could like? I learned English by playing RPGs and computer games, it should work with German as well.

Steam: Auf Schienen zum Ruhm - German version of Steam. Great game!

Sorry, there's no way you can pass for a Volksdeutsch. Too gypsy-looking.

After a couple of days in München, I asked for zwei weißbier at a stand on an open-air festival with such authenticity, that the German woman behind me in the line asked me a question about something regarding the stand had for sale or something. I didn't understand it of course, but I took that as a compliment to my expert adoption into the German ways of ordering beer

yes, not too many trading games coming out, unfortunately. I second the Patrician games. EA's FIFA Manager is the most popular sports manager in Germany and still (I think) developed ba a German guy, so you could check that out, too. Then there's the Piranha Byte games (Gothic 1-3, Risen) that are originally German. Also, Bioware translations (Baldur's Gate through Mass Effect) tend to have pretty good German localizations that don't make you cringe.
