This Namco developed DS game looks to be a PIRATE themed 4 player online action RPG in the vain of Phantasy Star Online or Diablo mixed with the combat of Secret of Mana. Looks pretty rad, and it scored a 34/40 in Japan's (in)famed Famitsu Weekly. I hope the game gets localized and released over here... but not before I find my DS.
Damn damn damn damn damn, So I just wrote a three page long summary about the girl group AKB48. I copied it so that I could paste it somewhere. I got distracted by an email which I went and copied erasing my previous item I had on copy. So there went my post that I spend 2 hours on. So fuck it here are some pictures.
Hey guys, I'm back after a kinda hiatus. Here are some random thoughts.
First off, Happy Birthday Ken Masters. If you don't know who I'm talking about, you should be shot.
Secondly, I've been playing Loco Roco 2. So here's a video of a Chinese Girl covering the Loco Roco Theme. Hooray!
I was looking over the cast of the Chun-Li movie, TABOO from the Black-eyed Peas apparently has an acting role in the film. Now I know it's going to be horrible.
You're probably asking yourself, Who the fuck is TABOO? The creepy long haired dude.
Madworld, I don't know what to think about this game now.
I'll go more in depth on the show tomorrow night. 7PM Central, 8PM 4PP. Also the Revival Club will be recorded tomorrow night.
Sega is hurting guys. If you've been reading the news, you've probably been hearing some pretty horrible things Sega is going through right now. They are killing off most of their arcade business in Japan and claimed they will be killing game projects as well. The first announced is the cancellation of the Obsidian developed Aliens RPG. I'm sure this won't be the last of the bad news we will hear about in the coming weeks from Sega.
Yakuza 1 sold like shit over here. Yakuza 2 sold even worse. That and Sega would have to spend a fortune localizing Yakuza 3.
So the horrible reality is that there is no financially viable reason for Sega to localize Yakuza 3. At least they don't think so. We need to change their minds.
Ok, normally I hate these things. But fuck it, we have to do something. It has just over 500 signatures, and now it's time to hit 10,000. I'm not sure I would have worded the petition the way this person did, but numbers are all that matters. Every single person who reads this blog needs to sign this. Every single person who watches the broadcast needs to sign this. This is my new project. I will exploit any attention we have ever gotten to achieve this goal. I want this. And I want you to want this.
No place on the internet is safe. You must help me. If you see a spot that will let you enter text, a link to this petition better be the first thing you type. If you are a part of any message board out there, I want this petition as your signature. If you know people out there who love games, it is your obligation to inform them on this series. Sit their asses down and show them this trailer first.
Use this trailer to get them interested, and then explain to them that the rest of the game is a cross between GTA, Shenmue, beat-em-ups, and Japanese RPGs. Then show them the rest of the trailers. Then you and that person click the link below and both buy copies of Yakuza 2.
So it was an interesting night. Thanks to all of the chatters for showing up. Thanks to Teresa for being a wonderful wing... woman. I had a lot of fun and I am looking forward to continuing the game tomorrow evening. In case you missed it, you can watch the entire first broadcast below.
So tomorrow is the big day. I will be once again delving into the Monolith Universe for what is sure to be a trippy and terrifying experience. Hopefully, screams and laughs will occur often. As usual, I will be playing the game from beginning to end over a several day period. So here is my expected broadcast schedule. I am not sure how long the game is so I am basing this off of previous experience with Monolith games and other horror titles I have played in the past. The first night will be the shortest night for me with the subsequent nights significantly longer. This is how I anticipate it panning out:
02.11.2009 (Wednesday): 9:45 pm - 12:30 am (central time)
02.12.2009 (Thursday): 9:45 pm - 2:00 am (central time)
02.13.2009 (Friday): 7:00 pm - Whenever I finish
If I need to, I will use Saturday evening to finish the game off if it turns out to be longer than expected. With that said, I hope to see everyone there tomorrow. It should be fun.
