As far as I can tell, camembert sold in Japan is not proper camembert. It’s cheese, industrially-produced cheese (I even bought some in tin cans),made with pasteurised milk, sure, but camembert? That being said the “laiterie Yuge” in Kobe produces some satisfying enough stuff.

Must be a global trend, then...

As a former veterinarian, I give you all the stars!

I don’t think that you could borrow the games and bring them home, really. You could play them on-site, and it was not even a disguised rental affair, for the drinks were not more expensive than in other bars in Kyoto. And from the online reviews, it was a rather chill bar...

Thanks for the reply! Right, no Yamaoka, but the vibe is still there! ;) Which means that I look forward to the rest of the score.

Is the original music by Akira Yamaoka? That would be some news, to me!
 He was not mentioned in the credits, but I got a strange Yamaoka-esque vibe at some point.

If only it could be a marketing ploy for the announcement of a new Steins;Gate (on the Vita, please), I would sign with both hands!

So, while they’re at it, can they tell us how the Dear Leaders’ summit went? Is a new Homefront planned?

Thanks for the reply. That might be why I’m not shocked at all. Being French, day drinking is quite rare, to be honest. But yes, the team-bonding after-work drinks are very much an Asian thing, for the idea of spending more time with coworkers doesn’t resonate much with the French!

No offense here, just curiosity. What is ‘the whole thing around alcohol’ in Japan, exactly? Because if you take a look at alcohol consumption worldwide, well...

If you imagined that Japan is the nation of game consoles, it is very much the country of cockroaches too, they’re just everywhere... The drugstores have walls full of insecticides, repellents, traps, etc, to use inside or outside your house. It’s a full arsenal, really.

Beppu reminds you that Earth is alive, something you can barely forget in Japan. Every crack in the pavement is blowing steam, or so I remember. And you won’t go there without visiting the Jigoku, the so-called hells of Beppu, that all feature their own special natural attractions, be it a geyser, crocodiles, or a…

Fuck Konami as much as you want, but please leave PES alone. The other day, I found by chance (?) a FIFA e-sports competition, and I was appalled by what I saw: players crossing half the field doing tricks without moving one of their feet, in some kind of magic translation, with a pace that was rather out of this…

Well, Park Seung-si, I raise your Dark Circle with Nadja’s Dark Circles...

Any console would get the throne, with a SH Covenant remake (and I would throw in Koudelka, which I never had the chance to play, SH, and even From the New World, for you can never get enough of the judgment ring)! And having them on the Vita would be a dream. Well, dreams can’t always come true...

The Shadow Hearts games have never been remade, nor re-released... You’ve just put some salt in an open wound of mine. (: ; ) And since the rights are constantly renewed by a company that has retired from video games, there’s almost no chance to see them reappear. Alas...

Hey, there!

It was bound to have a bias towards newer games, because they are top-of-mind answers, since they’re still fresh in our collective memories, and because the poll demographics: roughly 80% of the respondents were under 30...

You could check the Youtube channel of the original poster of the vid, it’s a good place to start! Or do a search for ‘buffalax’. The quality of the results might vary, but you sure can get a few laughs! But don’t let the naughty turtle follow you...

OK, it might be wrong, but I can’t resist... So, here’s the “buffalaxed” version of Bo Peep. These are not subtitles, just what could possibly be heard by an English speaker, and boy, is it hilarious!
