Hello Internets.
During another grueling Japanese language ONLY teleconference, I took notes. Now you may be asking yourself how I took notes if I have no comprehension of the Japanese language. As you can see below – they speak for themselves.
I should probably save that sheet of notebook paper. Someday – when I rich & famous – it will be worth cash-money.
It needs no introduction.
One thing I always – ALWAYS – do when I go to Portland, Oregon - is eat at McMenamins restaurants as much as I can. I grew up eating the food & for 6 years I worked at a Blockbuster Video store across the parking lot from the Mall 205 McMenamins location. Those were the days of ordering the Communications Breakdown burger with a large side of fries. I could eat then – because the burger came with fries & then my fatass would order a separate side of fries with ranch. I might die early because of that – but what a way to go out – with my arteries clogged with delicious burgers, fries, and beer.
Speaking of beer… Did you know that you – as a citizen of the United States of God Bless America cannot legally ship beer to anyone or anywhere? I know what you’re thinking – b-b-b-but Peter – the 21st Amendment – which was a repeal of the 18th Amendment to our constitution ended Prohibition… You’re correct.
I’ve been on vacation.
But now I’m back.
Learning a Foreign Language is difficult. That’s why I’ve never done it. But with instructional videos like this – I may reconsider.
I thought watching girls workout was fun… But when you add them psuedo-rapping about diahreea – well that’s just mother-loving magical.
I love this game. It’s wacky in ways the US games can never – ever – hope to achieve. This game has actually been made before – for the PC Engine. And it appears to have found a new life on PSP… What I wouldn’t give for a Cho Aniki T-shirt. I tried to find them once – no luck. This makes me want to try again.
Today I saw yet another game proposal from Japan. Actually it was more of a finished game in search of a publisher. Either way – let me lay down what it’s about & you tell me if you want to pick it up.
It involved the user playing as a monkey – throwing poop at walking lizard men (think Geico lizard), flying snakes & beetles. Other characters the user can play with include a conquistador girl, a Jane girl (as in Tarzan & Jane) & a nurse (naturally).
All those other characters don’t matter – because the monkey throws poop! Maybe you’re wondering where the Monkey finds this poop – well from his butt. There’s an animation of the monkey reaching back & pooping into his hand and then throwing it.
My thoughts? This could be HUGE – HUGE – in America. First off – EVERYONE in the world loves scatalogical humor. It transcends race, sex, location, religion etc. Second – there’s a whole group of guys out there who really get off on playing wacky Japanese games – regardless of how insanely craptacular (I’m leaving that pun in there) they are.
Unfortunately though – we’re in a business – the business of making money. And this game will most likely never see the light of day because people will not buy it.
Also – the game has destructible environments… Probably not enough of a gimmick to save it though.
