While it was (fairly) popular, another Nobunaga's Ambition collaboration wouldn't exactly be 'surprising' considering we already got one. Fingers crossed that a third party gets to make a new Pokemon Snap!

$8 for FF7 is a great price! Too bad that translates to £8 on the UK GMG store. :(

Really? I thought South Park helped chip away at that years ago. Since then we've had films like Persepolis and The Triplets of Belleville to further put that ridiculous notion in its place.

Still, I suppose ignorance is mainstream.

Here's the thing, though - if Attack on Titan isn't actually that mainstream popular to be universally recognisable (I don't know, I don't live in Hunan), then it could be yet another case of a Chinese production company making cheap graphics and intros by copying someone else's and slightly altering it, hoping that…

Basically, there's no point spending money at all until the last day of sales, when everything returns to its cheapest price during the sale. But nonetheless, people do splurge - it's usually safe when it's on a Daily, Flash or Community deal. Rule number 1 of Steam sales is do not buy stuff that isn't on one of those…

Ducktales is highly anticipated in this household.

On the topic of Cloudberries - I didn't even realise they were a real thing until I found some Kopparberg Cloudberry Cider. That stuff is ridiculously delicious. For this irrational reason alone, I am inclined to pay more attention to Cloudberry Kingdom.

But (less)…

I always had him pegged as the Leonardo DiCaprio of East Asia (though the comparison falls apart these days with Leo's utter domination of recent films and Kaneshiro's backing off a bit into ad work), but maybe I'm biased as someone who doesn't think much of Matt Damon's acting chops...

That was a mistranslation on my part, as the graphics flew past I misread 击 as 去. It should rightly be "Attack/Advance" rather than "Entrance".

But yes, that would be well open for dirty jokes, in either language.

When I first got into East Asian cinema this dude was a total mancrush of mine. Like Ed Norton and Liam Neeson before him, I ended up watching pretty much everything with him in that I could lay my hands on... and replaying Onimusha 1+3 a few times.

But I wonder if, at nearly 40 years old, he's thinking about settling…

Being of mixed Taiwanese/Japanese origin, he's able to speak both Mandarin and Japanese fluently. He also speaks Cantonese at least fluently enough to act in Canto films and sing Canto songs. Pretty talented guy!

Right. I think what I'm missing here, based in the UK, is how thoroughly Attack on Titan has or hasn't permeated pop culture. If it's in that deep, where ordinary people are expected to be able to recognise it, then is it really all that different to shows like Have I Got News For You parodying The Generation Game for…

Derp, it flashed by too fast and my brain read what it wanted to read. Thanks for the correction.

Yeah, I didn't mean to say Brian was wrong (it seemed unlikely given the 男声/男生 pun in the name he provided), just that I couldn't see that name in the intro video linked. But you're probably right - is this show's audience really likely to have much crossover with Attack on Titan fans, who'd get the reference and find…

The reason you give is definitely more likely to be the one the companies care about, but I guess Blizzard has a similar no-no policy with sold WoW accounts - just arguably for balance and fairness reasons rather than the financial side of things. And I'd be pretty wary of buying WoW accounts, let alone an online…

Isn't the name of that show 进去的美男? I couldn't find the name you listed, 快乐男声 in the intro, anyway. So I assume if that is the name of the show, then this is the intro to a segment of it, and that it's a comedic reference to Attack on Titan - the Japanese show is Shingeki no Kyojin (進撃の巨人) which translates to…

Them's the breaks! With both buying second-hand accounts that other people have done all the work on, and with impersonating the police. Not an ounce of common sense with this one, apparently.

That is awesome news. Now I can continue to get bodied by my old school FG mates without having to waste time emulating crap or dragging the PS2 out and playing on pads.

Hey, I love both series! DW is a fantastic franchise for people who can dig it. Of course, SMT used to be way more niche, but broke out into the mainstream with Persona 3+4, so it's a harder comparison these days.

SMT4 if it's any consolation is the closest any non-Persona 3+4 SMT game has ever come to recapturing that. A proper mainline SMT sequel was Strange Journey - this one is somewhere in between that and Persona 4.

Each iteration is a retelling of the same period of Chinese history (though a retelling of the centuries-old novelisation rather than the actual historical fact), with improvements and changes to the systems and presentation. Each new entry generally covers more stuff in greater detail, but different people have their…
