"Ohshima: Any character anywhere has a cute side; anybody has a cute side. There are elements of cute in every single one of us. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger has a cute side. He's this tough, burly, macho dude, but there is an element of cute in there."

Ohshima has obviously been driven crazy by Artoon's crappy games.

At least he fixed his hair.

Rambo was never cute.

Wow.

Oshima is really gay.

^The positive kind or the negative kind?

I think he just has a crush.

Ohshima is still a genius designer.

Oh, and you're all gay.

Seperate, Ohshima and Naka suck. Together, they are a mighty force.

How do you figure that?

Because Pinobee is his favorite game.

Shut your dirty mouth. Or I smack you up.

Oh and I figure that by staring at a picture of NiGHTS until my eyes bleed.

Or Sonic CD for that matter

Pinobee was actually a fairly decent game. If anything, the journal entries and the ability to have the main character transform into a fanged, monsterous, evil-doer is worth a playthrough.

Hell, if you do things right, you get to spank the annoying character you were supposed to save upon rescue. How many freaking games have you owned in which you wanted to do that?

If only it was some hot guy or gal instead of an oldman/insect hybrid.

But the game was ugly, uninteresting, and the level design was horrid.

So's Popcorn's mother, but we still play her.

Locit · Post by **Locit** » Wed Aug 11, 2004 10:01 pm

If you can't say anything nice, say it about Popcorn's mom. Anywho, I have faith that Blinx 2 will either be better than the original due to better level design and controls, or worse due to a horrible camera and unimpressive enemies.

I wonder if he still calls himself "BigIsland"

If you care even more, here is a diary entree he wrote a while back that was posted ign. More are on the way it seems

At least he doesn't look like Garfield on painkillers and steroids anymore.

"Big Island" is actually the literal translation of his surname.

What the fuck is it with game designers and their cars? I absolutely don't get it. As far as I'm concerned, and I don't think my attitude will change when I have money, vehicles are for transporation and that's it. If I have enough money to start messing with my car, I think I'll use it on a plasma TV or maybe a trip to someplace cool.

Blinx 2 is actually looking alright. The ability to create your own character is a novel idea for a 1-player game. We shall see what we shall see.

I like cats, but Blinx is just too unbelievable.

I can buy a talking, humanoid cat traveling through time.

I can't buy a cat going anywhere near a vaccum cleaner. That's just too out there, man.

yeah I knew about that, but what exactly is a surname anyway?

The opposite of a ma'am name.
