Sega's 12-inch pianist.

On the other hand, Artoon blows ass.

[P.P.A.]

Blinx was awesome ok

[Ritz]

No, no, Blinx should've been awesome. That's what frustrates me about Artoon- their hearts are in the right place, they've got the passion and the talent necessary for the job, but something always manages to go wrong, as if nobody on the team really knows how a game is supposed to play. It's like they're the "Bloody Stupid" Johnsons of the gaming industry.

I'll never understand why Yasuhara recently made the jump to Bandai when he probably could've just as easily hitched a ride with Oshima and the gang, they could've worked wonders together. He's stated his interest in working on another character-driven platformer, and that's all Artoon really does. They're the only ones who still care. Or is it simply the case that all of Sonic Team's old guard eventually came to hate one another?

[Kogen]

Almost as awesome as Vampire's Rain, right?

[Ritz]

I'd never even heard of the game until now and I kind of hate you for mentioning it.

[P.P.A.]

I played the demo once, it's terrifyingly scary. You're constantly panicking and fear every single step or sound because there's LIGHTSPEED INSTA-KILL ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE

TecToy produces the next SEGA console running on Lindbergh technology.

That shit's terribly outdated. Go Go Europa-R!

And yeah, Artoon needs a better corporate direction and identity more than anything else... go figure, kinda like SEGA nowadays (though as of lately SEGA has been absorbing some talented development studios ala Electronic Arts, like those "Total War" guys, Creative Assembly, their work lack that... I don't know, essence?).
I'm also used to think of Naka, Ohshima and Yasuhara as the original Three Stooges; there ain't much to say 'bout one of 'em, and you don't get even half of what you could from the complete trio with just two.
