Ahhhh summer, the tanlines, martinis, bikinis, and sadly me cooped up in my office looking at all the fun to be had outside. At least I’ll be taking my annual beach vacation in September woot! Thankfully my beautiful Destin Beach has been given the OIL FREE seal of approval. I’ll let you know if I find any tar balls while building sand castles.
Now for all my anxious readers, most of you are probably now getting back into the groove of school. Make this year the time to have that pretty gal swoon over you. For my ladies; today is the year you’ll have all the boys fawn over you, and for my geeks… keep leveling up. It’s time for us to look back and see what got you talking the most:
Death Of A Master: Satoshi Kon Dies
A sad month for many anime lovers. Satoshi devised complex stories woven into rich characters, accompanied by rich music. Khaim laments: This hits and blows real hard. This year and perhaps part of 2009 have been real hard for the otaku world and many encompassing fandoms themselves. The death of the creator of Shin-chan, the death of Nujabes, and now Satoshi Kon passing away, i can only feel someone is enjoying using the Death Note or simply put, things have been happening so quickly.
Quench Your Consumerist Thirst With Hello Kitty Water For $100
You may not understand or agree with Hello Kitty, but this little minx desperately wants to steal your heart; and make you broke while she’s at it. vay8 says: With five different colors available, you’d be crazy not to collect them all.
Bryan Lee O’malley On Scott Pilgrim’s Manga-Ish Roots
These is a lot of either/or for Scott Pilgrim,. Either you love it or you hate it. I cannot say I’ve seen the movie myself as I opted for the high-brow Piranha 3D. And yes the DDD made it much better. But I do enjoy the comics. I agree with Kuroneko and Ximum on the movie feature reaching a cult status and selling incredibly well as a DVD. Although I do wonder if it would be made into a anime series…
Sega’s Yakuza 3 Reviewed By 3 Yakuza
Take a crime boss to play a game based on on said boss’ activities and what do you get?
Ironically, the sections that Shirokawa seemed to enjoy the most were cut out of the US version: mahjong, the sexual massage parlor, and the hostess clubs. After I explain to him what Sega cut from the US version, he said: アメリカ版を買った奴がかわいそうだ。セガUSAが最低だね.(Translation: I feel sorry for the people who bought the American version. SEGA USA sucks.)
Damn…why do the States get jipped.
Fantastic Retro Demakes Of Current Games
With all the fancy graphics that are now pumped into most modern games, there is a nostalgia I get harkening back to the old days of gaming where 1 sprite would rule them all. Desfunk yells: 2d sprite work is a lost art these days! Those are SERIOUSLY badass!!!!
