So you're saying it's basically videogame rock gardening? Not about achieving or exploring anything so much as arranging the simplest stuff possible on some low level and tuning out?

Also Dr. Mario, what a boring load of shit.

Yeah that's right.

It would have done; my first time through was like 40 minutes at least. Maybe more like an hour. Or more than that, even! It was a long time.

Maybe 19? I can't remember exactly, but yeah, I think it was close to 20 minutes.

No worries mate I have no idea what is happening!

Maria's getting written out? What the hell; why?

What next? A Sailor Moon thread?

Why would that be a problem?

A derby would look better with that suit than a bowler.

derby is slang for blowjob.

Works for me.

Cool beans!

I wonder what approach they'll take; like, will it be SNES-style games this time...?

And then if you want to hear the Queen-est band of today, go for some My Chemical Romance.

Don't listen to this man; he is clearly insane.

One of my favourites is a juice bar at an onsen in Kyoto, with a sign that reads, 'FLESH JUICE'. Wish I'd remembered to take a photo.

I admire your resourcefulness!

What you could do, if it comes down to it, is put your suitcase in a locker at a train station; preferably a central one because you'd have to go back every day, or every couple of days, to put more c ...

Oh yeah and absolutely get yourself to some onsen, somehow. Dunno how easy that will be, if you'll mostly be in Tokyo; I don't really know that area. (But hopefully I will soon!)

James, if you visit the Ghibli Museum, stick around and check out the rest of Kichijōji. I have barely been there but it seems like a really cool place, and I plan to spend some time there when I ...

Oh yes!

This sounds great. I hate physical media, but I also hate DRM, so Steam for example shits me.

They need some old old games, though. For example Fallout, in my mind, is not that old.

That was great.

I very much enjoyed reading your analysis, Dess! And not just the bits where you mentioned my name. Although I did like those bits.

It's a wonderful and amazing game, and it's hard to put into words why.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, Dess... It seems kind of made for you, actually.
