LocoRoco Cocoreccho! is Lemmings with even stupider creatures

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Jesus. H. Christ.
I wanted to say that the game is like Lemmings with retards, but I don’t want to speak ill of the mentally handicapped on a level of asininity such as LocoRoco Cocoreccho. The original LocoRoco was a mildly entertaining puzzle game of sorts. Reminiscent of Katamari Damacy, you started off with one little [...]

My nipples are hard

Well, it sure got cold fast.
Everyone told me that “Japan has a a different kind of cold.” Which is an incredibly stupid phrase, because cold is cold. What they’re really referring to is the lack of insulation. Without it, your apartment , of course, is cold than you’d expect.
Really though, I’m just surprised that Gojo [...]

Well, at least I keep my apartment clean

Ah, the dating scene. On second thought, I don’t know if I want to talk about this. All I gotta say is “Damnit!”

She who bringeth the rain

This was the best class I’ve taught so far. Sixth graders even! Getting them to think a bit more, even if they didn’t use a bunch of English at the start, got them using a lot more at the end. Very fun class, and shit, I think we’re all fucked come next week’s weather.

The Proverbial Tube of Boobs

What does it say about Japanese television if I tend to flip in order to watch commercials? I guess I can only watch so many people eat different foods and answer questions about Russian flowers or the deep drama about which old woman can get angrier. I’m not even entirely sure what’s going on in [...]

In loving memory of Hat

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Last night, while I was waiting to enter a club, someone stole my beloved hat.
That’s right, right off my head and gone. Well, not entirely. First it was put on the head of some girl I knew, so I figured I’d get it right back. But then it just disappeared.
I know it’s just a hat, [...]

Fuck

I want some gummi bears.

Whoops, I did it again

I bought Halo 3. What was I thinking? To quote the President, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice….Never going to be fooled again.” Alas, I’m not as smart.
I bought Halo back when all you really would do for big games is stop at 4 players, or maybe hook a bunch of [...]

Oh the Man Tears!

If you’ve played Final Fantasy 7, there’s a good chance you know what happens at the end of Crisis Core. Despite that, they managed to elevate it to quite a powerful level. Taking Zack, a character who was fairly minor in the original game and giving him a game entirely unto himself honestly seemed like [...]

Just like chicken

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

So, I went to one of the Sports Days today but cut out a bit early since I was feeling tired. Good thing I did.
I didn’t notice until much, much later, but at the moment I am fried like a motherfucker. Chicken. Fried chicken. Crispy and so delicious and dear god I’d even take fucking [...]
