The Yakuza series and their JRPGs (including a number of series that haven’t made it to the West) do extraordinarily well in Japan.

Well I hope if it does happen there will be a scene where a cop car just strolls in and fire a hail of missiles towards the unsuspecting gangbangers and blow them to smithereens.

I hope so too.

That...is actually not a bad idea.

I look forward to the backlash from the “gamers” when they eventually make Blaze not wear a streetwalker outfit to kick peoples asses in all day. At best I’m expecting a nod to it in some undercover scene at the beginning before she changes to something more sensible for kicking teeth in with.

Karen Gillan as Blaze!

Based on my experience as a stage performer back in the day, my guess is that she couldn’t hear herself in her monitor very well, which makes singing on pitch a huge pain in the ass. I’ve seen other live performances of this where she nails it, so I’m pretty confident it was audio issues.

The Chrono Cross remaster is fine, just bare-bones.

The FF9 game was not listed as a “remaster,” which already exists, but a fully fledged Remake. Like, FF7 Remake style.

Needless to say that’s very hard to buy, and yet so far every other thing on the leak has been proven true.

Given how they fucked up the Chrono Cross remaster, I don’t have much hope for FFIX...

I wouldn’t panic yet. There’s every chance the more realistic Sora is just because he’s shown in a more realistic world, just like all the other physical changes we see in him when he visits differently-themed worlds.

He can be both. They’re not mutually exclusive.

I think if more Americans realized how busy the Persian Gulf is getting the hell out of the oil business, they’d realize that all of the pro-oil propaganda stuff they’re hearing is just meant to keep prices up as the last oil drains away.

The folks who actually know how much oil is left are behaving like it’s almost gon…

That, and he’s probably been told to diversify away from oil, as they know the oil industry won’t last forever.

If anyone needs a hand getting this reference I’m sure MBS has at least two sitting  around somewhere he could send you.

If you thought the industry was hostile to journalists before, just wait until SNK starts inviting reviewers to their embassy in Turkey!

Sounds like this is eventually going to lead to cutting Bandai out of the middle and just developing their own games based on their properties.

After all, its going to be super easy to make their own games. Much more cheaply too.

In my head, I saw it as a text on a blackboard striked through with chalk. Like, yeah, cancelled, done for, neutered... 

I couldn’t find a concrete answer, but my best guess is it’s a reference to the chalk outline of a dead body? Or something to do with chalk on a scoreboard maybe.

Given all the shitty comments I received a month ago on here because I said there was no way BOTW2 was coming out this year, I am going to say there are people out there that will be surprised. 

Surprising literally nobody...
