  1. That looks "hella sweet," as the kids say.

    Played it yet?

  2. Not as yet. I will likely buy the Japanese version, used. I've heard from players who have about the same level of Japanese ability that I do, that it is achievable. And to be honest, if I have to sit through dialog, I am more willing to hear it in Japanese rather than whatever English videogame voice talent that they are likely applying to it. Good voice work in US games is /so/ rare.

  3. I'd love to score it subtitled... that would be a thing of unspeakable beauty.

    Must put it on the list for the point after I recover from financial nigh-oblivion.

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well?
