“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? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
That looks "hella sweet," as the kids say.

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.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to score it subtitled... that would be a thing of unspeakable beauty.
ReplyDeleteMust put it on the list for the point after I recover from financial nigh-oblivion.
