Games Oh My God, Japan

Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, May 19, 2009 at 1:44 PM

What the fuck is in your drinking water, Japan? I think the polar bear in a thong is the weirdest thing in this video game, but I'm not sure.

America is the land of guns, and hobos, and christian lunatics, fatties (including you, mr Constant), teenage pregnancy, huge prison populations, giant SUVs.

And there's something funny in the water in Japan? I don't think so, look in the mirror first, Mr Constant

Seems pretty straight forward to me. Makes more sense than the Iraq war.

They did try to take over the world not too long ago, so all that crazy has to go somewhere.

And, on a related note, what is it with 90% of the games for WIi being totally weird and/or boring?

That is completely wonderful.

Max, take a quarter out of your piggy bank and go buy a sense of humor.

To answer the original question, lithium is in their drinking water:

love it, gaijin.
Most Japanese TV (besides cheesy soap opera dramas, which are really the same in every country) is just like this - crazy game shows and commercials that rarely make sense but are enthralling, bewildering and often hilarious.
Mr. Sparkle answer question 100%.

I see nothing odd about that all. Of course, I eat peyote for breakfast and spend all day reading the International Male catalog.

That's like a video game version of the game show were people try to squeeze themselves through different sized holes in a wall hurtling towards them to avoid being pushed into a pool of water. Only, I guess, this is more about an orderly line of bodybuilders and polar bears sprinting through wall after wall after wall in various poses. Simple, accessible entertainment.

What is with the speech balloons coming out of their noses? I'm not sure if I'm tired or nauseous after watching.
