play

now I’m a proud owner of a PS2 - which makes my autistic boyfriend even more, crashing cars all night long. I myself prefer the cute, RPG titles, so I started with we love katamari.

anyways, it’s good to have a magazine to follow the steps… I’m still confused with all the consoles, types, and titles, out there, but any time spent playing games is less time spent watching american TV.

Virtual Star Hasseigaku

the japanese characters made it impossible for me to download the utena soundtrack, so yeah, I bought it (my first cd in ages). opera + rosecrux + anime + anarchy = utena.

Dead Boys Detectives

I like the fact that DC is moving it’s ass to cater to the manga audience, and I respect they’re at least trying (instead of packing superheroes+blockbuster movies+copyright infringment suits), but this one is simply no good… It has all the shojo imagery plus a hint of american goth, but the plot is dumb and the characters are formulaic… too eager to please, you know?

like, repackaging teen titans was a good move! super-deformed spin-offs like this - with new artists and lighter motifs - are a nice move, but better luck next time.
