Somehow forgot to take a picture! Here's my copy (with a partial view of my GHM shelf that desperately needs to be reorganized).

Bursting into the room, sitting on a chair backwards, and then hitting everyone with "In Michigan: Report from Hell for the Playstation 2, the player character is technically an Observer" to hushed oohs and ahhs.

I admittedly never got far into AoE II, though I liked the bits that I played (not to mention the classic theme here). I always meant to get back to it one day. At the very least, I beat the first game (and its expansion), and enjoyed it at the time.

If you're looking for more of The Silver Case, here's an English translation of the light novel Case #4.5 Face (written by Naoko Korekata). It's a nice side story centered around Sakura Natsume. Also snagged a physical copy for myself years ago! fftranslations.atspace.co.uk/tscnov/index...

Resident Evil 0 has one of my favorite moments of laughably inelegant storytelling: throughout the game, you (Rebecca) naturally run into some characters who later die in RE1, and after meeting one of them, Rebecca almost literally narrates "And I never saw him alive again."

But since it's Pokémon Day: I still need help with my big Pokémon Red/Blue project! Fill out the QR code on the poster or go to forms.gle/Dw2Aep1pjh7U... to help.

Here's a cute detail in No More Heroes 1: at the Burger Suplex across the street from the motel, there is a poster advertising the "Super Fire Hamburger Special," a shout out to Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special, Suda 51's second project in the gaming industry. Screenshots for both Wii and PS3.

I frequently think about this Suda 51 interview from *2015* where Suda basically describes the conceit of Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, well before the game was even announced. www.animenewsnetwork.com/the-x-button...

Me, when I'm thinking about [subject]: Thinking about [subject].

(Killer7) Thinking again about how there is a character with the nickname "Speedster" in the game, but it's *not* the character with actual super speed. It's Johnny Gagnon, the unseen sender of the carrier pigeon memos, and if I recall correctly, he only mentions the name once.

Thinking about how Suda 51 said that one of his reasons for leaving Human Entertainment was the president of the company getting caught for tax evasion, with TV stations showing up. (www.destructoid.com/kill-the-pas...)

I still want to stream the PS3 version of Lollipop Chainsaw one day, though I came to the conclusion last year that I'd have to put multiple warnings on the stream/chat to not talk about the void of its remaster as I don't want it to monopolize the chat.

Thinking about Swamp Thing.

Pro-tip for anyone looking to play The Silver Case games on Switch: be sure to save often as the first game unfortunately has a slight tendency to crash out of nowhere. The 25th Ward is better in that regard, though I had a single stray crash in the very last chapter.

Here's an excerpt from the Travis Strikes Again Collector's Edition book talking about bar plastic model (based on a real establishment) in No More Heroes. The owner Kei Sekine also shares a funny and sweet story about making Suda 51's own cocktail, the 51! (Apologies for any typos in the alt text)

Delivered the other day! This is very much a "should have bought years ago" game since I thought the demo was delightful, but it was on sale recently and I finally pulled the trigger.
