-As of this past Friday, the Giant Bomb Shenmue Quick Look ended, and BOY WAS THAT ENDING THE EPITOME OF NOT WORTH IT.
Hope they do Shenmue 2.
-The game I was talking about where your uncle is a cosmic horror is called "The Uncle Who Works At Nintendo" It's pretty interesting, and I might play it on stream one of these days.
Something Awful: So what exactly is your uncle's role in the Nintendo organization? Guy Whose Uncle Works for Nintendo:
My uncle is one of the main guys. He invented Mario. He lives in Japan
and he knows the president of Nintendo. The president of Nintendo is
named Ryu Nintendo and he invented the first Nintendo, which was a robot
that did math. My uncle works on all the games and makes up how the
levels look, and he knows all the cheat codes and can get extra men in
any game. He gets to play all the games before they come out and he
gives them all to me when he beats them.
-My intro is of course referencing, a Bad, Bad Man by John Cena:
-In my door-jump scare searching escapades, I found a website called "Where's The Jump?" that highlights when jump scares come in movies. An interesting idea, and I'm curious to see how the jump scare rating corressponds to the movie's quality. Some of you are going to whine about it because it's the same line as-
-Tom is a hot dog salesman from the game Shenmue, who drunkenly shambles across 7 different stereotypes and then recommends you see a Travel Agency to know about Chinese people:
-John: Do I have a curfew? RB: John., you're a grown ass man, you can do what ever you want.
John: Will Ine-san give me a daily allowance? RB: You're a grown ass man John, you need to work for it.
-This and another episode was where me and John went back and forth on a question where I end up repeating the same thing. I think the "cartoon in the real world" scenario. I'm a big fan of comical repetition
-ANDY AND JOHN OPEN UP A BURGER STAND: One day in 1980's Japan. John and Andy opened up a burger stand. "This will be a fine burger stand!" said Andy. "We got burgers, we got homebrewed beer, what more could the people of 1980's Japan want?" "I KNOW RIGHT" said a very shy, reserved John, his voice like whispers on the wind. "WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SO MUCH MONEY! LET'S GET STARTED!"
John lit up the grill with a smile on his face, and Andy looked at the bottled beers like they were beautiful babies
Suddenly, a hot dog truck pulled over across from them. A strange man with sunglasses and dreadlocks stepped out, and started dancing. "Oh hi Mark! You guys want a hot dog?" he said, dancing. "How's your sex lifes?"
This man was very strange. "HEY, ANDY! THIS GUY IS SO STRANGE!" "I know, right! Hopefully he doesn't cut into our business!" "MAYBE WE SHOULD WORK WITH HIM?" "You know what, John? That sounds like a fine idea! If we work together, we can all be successful!" "AND WE CAN GET WHAT DRUGS HE'S CLEARLY ON!" So Tom, Andy and John all worked together and made a lot of hungry people in 1980's Japan happy, all while getting super fucking baked.
Ryo's father also wasn't dead. ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 182
-Millennial Weddings:
If we can bother to afford them, what kind
of traditions will we pass down that our kids will think is lame? Our
generation, because of aforementioned financial issues, are questioning
the big to do. While we keep the legal and religious ceremonies, the
fact that it needs to be a lavish affair are-
No, wait, what kind of DJ brings a fucked up file to their party? Like, what happened? Did this guy NOT check?
