I'm watching Creed 2 right now and it's pretty good. I dunno if it's aged poorly or not because I don't know what the interplay between Ukrainian and Russian culture was before the war. There's a line where a rich Ukrainian tells Drago's son that he's bringing back glory to Russian boxing, which... seems weird. Not to mention the fact that two Ukrainians are the villains of the film.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Would you call Fire Emblem a JRPG? Disgaea? Because I found it real funny when I realised those are closer genre stablemates to X-COM. 'Strategy RPG' is the English name. It's still 'SRPG' in Japan, but that stands for "Simulation RPG". Sometimes also called "Tactics" games because of Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics. It's why Fallout Tactics is called such.

I knew about SRPG and was mostly stirring poo poo, but didn't know about the Japanese terms, that's really interesting. Did XCOM do well in Japan? I know Nintendo seemed to give a try at riffing it with Codename Steam.

InediblePenguin posted:Yes and the pineapple renters also sold pineapple insurance in case you rented a pineapple for a party decoration and one of your fool guests actually ate it The insurance doesn't cover an act of God unfortunately, and if some idiot puts the pineapple up their butt then that counts because only an act of God could explain that kind of behaviour.

Fallout Tactics is a tactics RPG but Final Fantasy Tactics is clearly a strategy RPG

The new way of naming game genres is to name them after similar games: rougelike, metroidvania, soulsborne etc. The prototypical JRPGs are Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. The new name should be: fantasy-quests. I think this name is also somewhat evocative of the gameplay.

Of course you would add something else like you would with those games (rogue-lite bullet hell, rogue-lite platformer, etc). It's very difficult for even the blandest of games to have a single descriptor. Even CoD isn't just an FPS and it's probably the most vanilla of the AAA names.

I actually saw a bit of that dubbed in Japanese and the greatest travesty is that they took Hank's distinctive bwahhh and turned it into the generic Japanese surprise ehhhh sound.

I just use turn based RPG, and if I want to specify something menu based I say old school turned based rpg, and that includes everything from Wizardy, Ultima, and Might and Magic to Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.

I went to check the original interview and the phrase used is 'アメリカのマンガ『ガーフィールド』' which I guess does literally translate to 'American manga Garfield' but isn't 'マンガ' just a catch-all term for comics in Japanese regardless of Japanese? or is that the joke

He made up a bunch of poo poo and sold it as non-fiction Karl Taro Greenfeld posted:Way back, my non-fiction was much better because I would use all this fictional stuff in it, reinventing scenes, dialogue, whatever I needed to make a plausible narrative. But then people began getting in trouble for that and the journalism police began busting people so I had to knock it off and be much more cautious with my non-fiction. I loved his book, Speed Tribes, growing up. But it's full of so much BS, presenting itself as this raw gonzo reporting on the reality of post-bubble Tokyo. One of the stories is basically Yukio Mishima with the names and dates filed off, complete with seppuku. Guy was wildly mixing personal anecdotes with news stories he'd read and passing it off as journalism to fund his drug problems and ex-pat lifestyle.

The introduction to Speed Tribes is him talking about the sound of bosozoku drowning out his girlfriend dumping his rear end for being a loser who couldn't pay back $200

See that building on the left with the two circles? That's the Milleneum Falcon. One of the model makers was building one for fun and they needed more buildings in the shot so they modified it a bit and put it in.

It's the joke in that the joke is that that statement is actually accurate, yeah. Manga is the catchall for comics like anime is the catchall for cartoons. So people in Japan literally can say 'my favorite anime is King of the Hill'.

The launch sequence where all the Tracy family get to their ships by just the most ridiculous means and any time Thunderbird 2 dropped its pod have been remade a million times since 1965. And I am loving down to watch them every time.

A lot makes sense when you realise the anime boom pretty much almost entirely coincided with the 'liking things is lame and gay' era, even before you get into the seething racism.
