Buy Star Ocean, Get a Dog?

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 | Miscellaneous | 9 Comments

I ran across this in an eBay auction just now. The auction is for a copy of Star Ocean for PSP, but something doesn’t seem right “> It’s weird, but I guess the person took that pic on purpose to be weird and so that weirdos like me would notice it. But the listing also says this: Now, obviously, the dog isn’t for sell, but couldn’t some evil law-knowing dude use th... Read More >>>

Very Low-Budget Terminator 2

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 | Miscellaneous, Videos | 2 Comments

I should start by explaning that this idea comes from Be Kind Rewind, where a video rental store gets all its tapes erased so the employees rush to film crappy homemade versions of the movies. These new versions are called “sweded” versions. Here’s part of the Ghostbusters one they did in the movie. They don’t show it cause that’s just a promo trailer for the REAL mov... Read More >>>

Gamasutra Interview

Friday, December 26th, 2008 | EarthBound Stuff, Miscellaneous, Translation | 13 Comments

I just remembered I was interviewed a few weeks ago for an article at Gamasutra. I usually tend not to do interviews (I made reid do all the bazillion Mother 3 interviews ) but Gamasutra is cool so I did it anyway. You can read it here. Nothing too special and it’s mostly just quotes from me. Or para-quotes in some cases. Some of the information there is wrong though. For instance, I worked... Read More >>>

Hello Kitty Pizza

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 | Miscellaneous | 11 Comments

I guess even Hello Kitty isn’t immune to the power of crappy instant pizza. Just the idea of a Hello Kitty pizza makes me think it will feature kitty-flavored toppings, but I guess that isn’t the case here. Still, it’s gross-looking no matter how you look at it! ... Read More >>>

Dragon Ball Live Action Movie

Saturday, December 13th, 2008 | Miscellaneous, Videos | 19 Comments

I’m sure everyone and their dog has seen this by now. It’s weird how they decided to go with the original Dragon Ball series and not with Z, which is much more action-oriented. I have very fond memories of DB and I even translated it professionally for work years ago, so this is like, “whaaaaaat?” x 1000. It doesn’t feel like Dragon Ball at all. I guess we’ll s...

Searching for 80s Food

Friday, December 12th, 2008 | Miscellaneous, Pictures | 42 Comments

The other day, after playing Ghosts n Goblins again, I suddenly got a craving for 80s stuff. So I went to the store to find whatever food that really represented the 80s… except I couldn’t find too much. (more…) ... Read More >>>

The RPG Cape

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 | Games, Miscellaneous, Pictures | 10 Comments

For lack of anything better, I bring you this MYSTERIOUS ENIGMA OF ODDNESS. A sort of “Bermuda Triangle” type thing of RPGs. In Star Ocean, this is used for when they open a time gate to jump back to their own time. I think this is why it shows up in Chrono Trigger; the disturbance in the time-space discombobulatorization caused a wormhole of purple butt magnitude and leaked into t... Read More >>>

Comparing Apples and Oranges

I have decided to review a single apple and a single orange. I purchased them from the nearest grocery store. Both were in as good condition as could be expected. (more…) ... Read More >>>

Banner Help Request

Friday, December 5th, 2008 | Miscellaneous | 1 Comment

I’ve been toying with my site a bit the past few days, and one thing that’s bugged me is how ugly the site header/site banner is. I tried to improve it, but now it’s even uglier I think   “Help meeeee” If anyone is willing to help out, that would be most bodacious, and you can get a forum badge and maybe other stuff too. See this thread for details. ... Read More >>>
