TGS 07

[voodoolily]

Uh, heh. It hadn't occurred to Sauced or myself that Tokyo Game Show would be going on during our "First Anniversary/Second Honeymoon" trip to Tokyo, but now that it is apparent that we'll be there at that time, is anyone gonna be there and wanna share a plate of takoyaki and a few mugs of sake? Or hook us up with media passes? 

[Yegolev]

I can send you another racist Mii, how about that?

[voodoolily]

Aw, man. Nintendo will be there for the first time in eleven years.

[voodoolily]

Okay, nevermind on the "needing a pass" thing. Admission is only like $10.

[Yegolev]

Right on, Mrs. Jefferson, glad to see you movin' up.

The lesson here is that it's cell phones, and not the Wii/DS killing the game industry.

[schild]

Mobile phones are cheap (and so is devving for them) and the Japanese are consumer _WHORES_.

[Velorath]

I want my PS1 era Squaresoft back.  This is a depressingly pitiful lineup here.

[schild]

I am excited about 3 things:

Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 2 (Rocket Slime here in the US - loved the first one, beat it in 2 days).
Last Remnant (PS3, if I actually play a true blue Square game on the 360, my brain may very well just catch aflame)
Final Fantasy 4 DS (Yes, plz).

The rest? Crap.

[voodoolily]

Seriously, is anyone besides Sauced and myself going? Otherwise we hafta crash a Kotaku party, and you know that can only lead to trouble.

[schild]

I gotta be honest.

I'm almost willing to ban people for supporting them. No, I'm not kidding.

Unless Sauced has the balls to beat the fuck out of Ashcraft. Which, I don't think is going to happen.

Who said anything about supporting them? Drinking someone else's booze out of desperation to talk about games in English is hardly an endorsement. Why aren't you coming, anyway?

Also, I'm the fisticuffs in this relationship. Don't get it twisted.

Next year. Also, punch Bashcraft in the crotch if you go. 1. You're a girl so he's got nothin'. 2. Keep that stupid fucking weaboo from breeding with the japanese again. He's going to fuck up their gene pool even more.

[Sauced]

It's okay if I just mock him, right?  It's really more my speed.

[schild]

No, he definitely needs to get punched or stabbed.

[Nonentity]

I want to burn his cute little beard with a lighter.

[voodoolily]

Would a throat-kick suffice?

[schild]

If it keeps him from breeding.

[Nonentity]

His beard is still nowhere near as awesome as schlid's beard, though.

[MrHat]

lol Non.

Also. I've got a wicked beard growing.  They've started calling me TalibAndy around the office.
