Funny you mention the guy with the pseudo-New York accent lol

There's the other guy dressed in green (with camo pants), who just walks around randomly and does nothing, though he looks like a MA.

"Do you know about the Mad Angels?"

(in cartoony-evil/angry/younger-sounding Greg Proops voice)

"What?! Get the hell away from me!"

When I don't get a prize at the Tomato Conveinece Store and the lady randomly spouts "Especially since you bought merchandise". I still have no idea what that means.

I think she means in the context that, "oh, its too bad. If you bought food or whatever for 100 yen, its not too big a loss, but since you bought this tape for 1000 yen (or whatever), it would've been nice to win a prize!"

That's how I always took it.

That makes too much sense, I prefer it the other way. lol

Going through Shenmue and that little music riff that plays when it becomes 7pm and all the street lights turn on is so atmospheric and relaxing.

For some reason, that little jingle holds the greatest dose of nostalgia for me regarding the series. Have no idea why.

Did you know you can download Excite QTE 2, the actual game for android phones? It's exactly like the original and I'm addicted to it. I'm currently number 18 on the world wide leader board for highest score.

What's crazy is that there's actually a whole track you don't get to hear within the game! Always find it soothing and relaxing to listen to :)

Kim jong-un likes video games, right? Maybe we could all tweet north korea and get him to endorse the kickstarter.

I don't know if that'd end up well. The whole China part might get changed to North Korea :rotflmao:
