I try not to make a habit of reposting junk from other sites, but I love me some Japper-knees commercials, and Kotaku posted a video earlier of the Top 10 Famicom Ads. I know that there are at least one or two of you that don’t scour the TV Game news blogs like a handicapped vulture, so here it is. Just to make my plagiarism absolutely clear, I’ll note that you can view it “after the jump.”
Particularly horrifying are the Space Invaders and Goemon CMs.
Top Ten Best Famicom Commercials (Kotaku)
I don’t even want to know how many nerd points I lose for never having played through Final Fantasy VI. To be honest, I’ve owned the game in a few of its domestic incarnations and, since middle school, have probably played the first four or five hours a half dozen times. Still, I always lacked the drive to play further, an issue I have with the entire genre that has only worsened as I get older and my attention span somehow manages to steadily decline.
However, it recently came out on the Game Boy Advance, which, oddly enough, I find to be well-suited for long, grinding games. Not only can I save most anywhere I want, but I can get things done while I attend other pressing matters, such as everything else. I can also play it on my Gamecube when I feel like making it a TV Thang.
Long story short, I’m pretty deep in the game and I really love it. The branching narrative is well-done and, though huger nerds than myself will likely argue the matter for decades, I think the rewritten dialogue is a big improvement. I need to finish it in the next day or so, because it’s really going to start biting into my productivity.
Oh goody, now you can read in detail what I think of Capcom’s Lost Planet!
There’s been a lot going on lately. At least, as much as can possibly go on with someone that “works” from home, bound not by any substantial employment shackles. In fact, when I say that it’s been quite busy around here, there’s a good chance that I’m referring to how many TV games there are to play, or perhaps the next clay-animated short that’s being kicked around in my head.
Yes, the goings-on behind the scenes of Joseph Luster are ramshackle at best. One moment, there may be a car-tune I have to write about, while the next may involve the shooting of aliens and the reaping of rewards thereafter. Rest assured, however, that I have a lot of projects up my sleeve at the moment, many of which I hope to share with you all in some form on these very pages!
I am also deeply sorry that I do not have any Black History Month clips today! How does one even follow up something like The Thing with Two Heads? If you thirst for more J-Lust, then you may find some comfort nestled in my exciting Projector Review! I will come back and post my Lost Planet review later this evening.
Addendum: you must purchase my wares!
