Land of the Rising Fun
I very patiently waited all week before linking to 1up's multi-part Land of the Rising Fun feature. It details several very good, very Japanese titles they've had the pleasure of playing lately. A lot of them are for the DS (no surprise), with Chulip, Odama, and Contact particularly appealing. From the piece: "I've loved Japanese games ever since Pac-Man rocked my childhood. Unfortunately, as the medium matures, its seems more and more Americans take issue with Japan's willingness to defy logic in the name of entertainment. Are the frequently goofy aesthetics of Japanese games a dangerous creative rut? Maybe not. Goofiness is making a comeback, thanks in no small part to the Nintendo DS, which is reaching new audiences with experiences that emphasize creativity above anything so mundane as mere realism."
kidnapping a woman from the train, keeping her locked in your apartment, and raping her repeatedly until she became so degraded that she can't think of anything but sucking your cock which strangely she has come to crave.
Which reminds me, your mom says to call, she misses you.
If I had a nickle for every Japanese girl I have seen running around with a cutesy little keychain doll given to them for free by their cell-phone company attached to their $300 Louis Vuitton handbag, I could probably buy one myself.
The Japanese sense of style is completely bizarre, and what little translates in the American does so more as a joke than literally.
My girlfriend: That hat is not stylish. Why are you wearing it?
Me: Because it is a warm hat, and it is very cold out today
My girlfriend: but it is not stylish. Take it off!
Me: Uhhh.....no
My gloveless hatless skirt-wearing girlfriend (in Japanese): I'm cold...
I will never understand Japanese...
