Now that's a convincing strategy to curb second hand sales.

I could see why a kid called "Burger" would grow up to be obsessed with fitness. It wasn't even a hamburger… it was a sandwich.

I wonder myself, and it sure feels like it. Like, I could just drop even a non-All-Star name like Toni Kukoc and the whole room would go in a frenzy, shouting "Oh yeah man, the Croatian Sensation!" "The Spider from Split, man, that was a great player!" Even the Clippers had Ron Harper and Loy Vaught going for them

Oh, no, thank you for giving me the chance to name-drop the only video game animator I know by name again.

That, and the animation for Cool Spot was done by Mike Dietz, who also worked on Earthworm Jim and Aladdin, and later The Neverhood.

Off the top of my head, I can say I enjoyed Naomi Kawase's The Mourning Forest. Got a nom for Palme d'Or in 2007 and won the Grand Prix if that means anything to you.

I didn't get around to anything I planned to do (yay, no pretentious short reviews this week), but that's fine too I guess. Primarily I did a whole Brazilian thing: Listening to Cesar Carmago Mariano, reading Carlos Drummond de Andrade, looking at photos of Oscar Niemeyer objects. All of it was awesome.

Guido.

I love that it looks like they just got some random ren fair dance troupe to show up. Speaking of looks, can we safely conclude now that rock musicians are brave and classical musicians are default? SHUT UP DAVID GARRETT NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU.

I just finished Dark Souls after precisely one year and 51 weeks, so… take your time?

It's been a while, but I seem to remember one of the writers here once mentioning that they don't do that as a matter of principle. Can't really argue with that; imagining other people dead IS a pretty weird way to earn money.

"That's the gist of it!"

I can see that. After playing the demo (which, as I understand, gives a fairly wrong impression with its combat focus) I thought I'd be way more interested in this if only it wasn't attached to Final Fantasy, or Fabula Nova Crystallis in particular.

Well… I don't know if I've talked about them here before *cough*, but I think the Boku no Natsuyasumi series qualifies. While there are some "traditional" gameplay elements, it has zero action sequences that could result in a fail state (like TWD season one did) and the goal is simply to experience as much as

I'm sorry, but I can't say. I skipped 1Q84 because I just couldn't picture him handling the premise sensibly. The pun in the title might have to do with that. Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki is a pretty breezy read though; I couldn't picture someone unable to finish it.

I think Princess Jellyfish is based on a still ongoing comic, so there's still hope for a second season. I'd love that.

There's no part in particular that made me take notice, but in general he still has a hard time describing women without mentioning their breasts once too often. Or, you know, writing a female character that's more than an object to help our ennui-ridden protagonist come to some sort of realization.

Not into English, I think.

Finished Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki. Either it's a lesser Murakami or I'm just not that into his prose anymore. Tackling Debord's Society of the Spectacle next.
