Nice! I used to live in Yamabe.

To be fair, I briefly taught English at an agricultural high school in that region, one that (among other things) specialized in tea production.

I used to live just south of there. It’s beautiful country.

Thinking back, it was probably more likely to be The Exploited than Cro Mags, but my point still stands.

Yeah, they were shit, but when you and 11 other punks were crammed into one, trying to find where the show was supposed to be, and listening to Cro Mags on a tape that had been made by putting one boom-box up against another boom-box and then pressing play on one and play and record on another, they were OK.

“I call the big one bitey.”

Ah yes- all the excitement and romance of slogging an L1A1 through half-frozen muck.

Right on, Comrade!

Yeah, I got one of these. The stupid katamari came loose and rolled off my coffee table.

Dammit, Lucy!

We’ve been eating Gamera!

What, the seat of my hakama got torn out? No, I wasn’t drunk- it must have been the angry...ass...biting...ghost! I barely escaped with my life!

They got one thing right about the goat, though.

Maybe the goat got dentures? Maybe it’s a magical corn-eating, child-terrifying yokai goat?

Name one of them.

I think you mean scarring.

I just watched the Steam trailer- apparently the Emperor is dead and a pretender sits on the throne. Your job is to execute the old Emperor’s final edict, which I’m assuming is “vengeance upon my enemies” or something like that.

I don’t know, but that Russian guy still calls a better game than Joe Buck.

Not surprising- Simon Roy’s work is full of references to ‘70s SF, both the American and the Métal hurlant varieties.

He is- Brandon Graham (of King City and Multiple Warheads) is main writer on Prophet, and Simon Roy is one of the artists collaborating on the title.
