Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

Apparently Tumblr was officially founded in 2007 and the founders started working on it in 2006. Dunno if that would've factored into the write-up for this game though.

Ok, I love Kiryu's moment of Blogging As Hard As He Can.

See? That's what happens when you don't bring a Britney plush, Kashiwagi would've shrugged off that Matrix homage shooting like it was nothing if you had.

Also, Cici muffling things is a worthy successor to red_panda.mp3

Let's Play Yakuza 3 Episode 18 - hosed Up On Twizzlers

Okay, so if you hit NO buttons, Kiryu runs normally and uses no stamina. if you hold R2 he goes faster but uses stamina. Cops run at the same speed Kiryu does without boosting.

It takes me a few attempts but I've seen and internalized the pattern. I didn't know R2 used up stamina :saddumb:

Kiryu obviously never kills anyone, but Kanda looked kinda dead in that final shot, hitting a hard edge with the back of your head/heck does do that.

Also, yes, Rikiya was just a little too much into that for it to be completely fake.

At least you're renting so it's the landlord's expense, right? (I hope? That's like the only perk of renting in the US) The wait sucks though.

The joke with the movie, which I have no idea how you'd translate it, is that the name Tatsu, if written in kanji, is written with the character for dragon.

I'm pretty positive this is the first game Majima's had the snake on his eyepatch.

But more importantly, Mine isn't 'Shibusawa at home', he's the handsome Shibusawa.
