Alright, the new version of the Otaku USA site is up, so you can all read my ridiculous article on fast food video games! Run, don’t walk, to your nearest Burger King to load up before sitting down in front of your glowing screen.
Everyone’s watching movies and junk this time of year, including yours truly, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore the horrors that wait within the funny pages! This evening’s recommendation goes out to the Scary Book series of Kazuo Umezu stories that Dark Horse has published. Start with “Reflections” and then go wild!
Kazz never fails to impress with these tales of dread and, as usual, his most horrific panels are worthy of lengthy admiration. He’s also a pretty nutty and rad dude that likes living in houses that look like him!
Wired’s television game blog Game|Life has a great interview up between Chris Kohler and Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi. Actually, the best part is definitely the following:
WN: Last question. Why does Dracula keep putting meat inside the walls of his castle?
KI: You should ask, why do they eat it! I’ve thought about this stuff. I’ve actually thought about the candles. The candles are people’s souls that were taken by Death or by the vampires. In Japan there are candles that represent life. So, when you release the souls from the candles by whipping them, they give you a “thank you” present. Thank-you hearts, or thank-you holy water.
The meat, I have no idea.
If you guys are hankerin’ for a good aural fright, head over to the Robotronic Dynamite page and hack away at our very first haunting compilation album! Within its cackling confines, you’ll find everything from music to trailers and beyond, all the better to spook you with!
You can thank Mr. Brandon Fincher, the Radical Raven Who Craves Fresh Flesh Shavin’, for orchestrating this meaty endeavor.
For further proof that I don’t just sit on my butt and eat King Dons (at least not all day), please see the latest issue of Otaku USA: The Bi-monthly Magazine for Ne’er-do-wells. In it, you will find articles by me and a bunch of other dirty ducks, as well as the television games section that I edit by staring at my computer until all of the words are either “hamburger,” “fiesta,” or a combination of the two.
Go forth and throw your coins at it.
