Well there are plenty of games that didn't need Iizuka's help to be a complete disaster, at least conceptually. If anything, I'd say he's only one of several steaming turds running the show, albeit probably the biggest.

Coming Holiday 2010? Christ. Just how long have they been working on this?

Zing!

What's furry about it? Unless human-ish talking animals is all it takes to count, and that's like half the animated medium.

As far as shameless rehashes go, that was rather cool. Except for the music, which is fucking terrible.

I think my first was Alex Kidd for the Master System! Oh what great times were had. Sonic 2 SMS came not long after, which was the start of that little obsession.

DKC's minecarts require memorization? Even my reflexes aren't that bad.

When was the last time Sonic used minecarts, Sonic 2 for SMS? Yeah, wasn't really that good back then either. (links are dead so I can't see the new one)

Stitch is bullshit popular over here. He's by far and away the most prevalent Disney character I've seen on this side of the ocean - he's even topped Pooh. I'll say. Christ. It didn't matter where we were, if a store had a toy/trinket section you could find a Stitch item at the very least. I was te...

That looks considerably less decent than the screencaps suggested.

He's referring to the pocket, and the rate they burn through AAAs.

I just finished Jak 3, after it sat in a box for a few years. I just wish I'd played the previous two first.

Sega have never really known what to do with Knuckles.

Wow, he looks... exactly like the modern Sonic. I could have sworn there was the promise of a redesign.

What, they're being discontinued elsewhere? Goddamn. I hope Crispy sticks around in Australia too - got a 160g packet of the stuff sitting on my desk right now.

You're not winning anything for saying it this time!

I couldn't even make out the flower thing on her crotch at first. It all blends into a virtually seamless white unless I tilt my LCD monitor way up.

Although I've never played them, I was under the impression from magazine reviews that Golden Sun was very good.

*reason

Yeah, I can't think of any reson at all.

That's still Uekawa isn't it? Looks like he was drawing in the SA vein before SA.

I've yet to recieve a photo CD from my brother (we shared a camera) so image updates are pending. Still, I'll recap a few highlights. The first 4 days were spent in Tokyo after arriving at Narita airport in the evening of Dec 30th. On New Years Eve we did city sightseeing, namely Tokyo Tower and a t...

Looks no worse than the range of badnik design in Sonic Adventure, which were excellent. It's good to have them back.

Maybe next time they'll reveal that an animal pops out when you defeat them!

Oh hey, I'm back. And it was bloody fantastic.

Well, I'm off to the airport tomorrow morning. Morioka's looking unlikely, but hey, looks to be a full trip regardless. See you all when I get back, in like 11 days or so. Wish me luck!

I'm confused.
