I notice it a lot all over this internet place, but especially here. People love obscure titles. I admit it is kinda fun having a character as an avatar and/or signature that only a handful of people know about. But it's also fun having a character a lot of people know about and actually talking about what ever it is they are from. And then laughing at them we they are wrong cause your theory is way superior than theirs. Some of the funnest conversations I've had were with random people at Gamestop talking about the game they had in my hand. And I'm not always the one to start it. Sometimes people come up to me and start chatting. BTW this topic is totally not because I showed up some elitist at FYE by knowing what Cave Story is and then buying *gasp* a mainstream anime (don't ask how we started talking about Cave Story, cause I'm not really sure myself.)

tl;dr
Do you get your jollies by having a character that only a few people know about?
Do you talk to random strangers about stuff they are buying?
Do you not care about mainstream/obscure and do what ever the hell you want?
Will Rocky and Bullwinkle make it out in time!?
