Oh wow, thanks for the warm welcome guys! I've been at work all day, it's nice to come home to see that you guys liked my video!

Thanks! I actually added that blurb in a re-write during the voice-over. I had pretty much done everything, and was listening through, but it still didn't feel like I had covered everything important about the game. It's got such a strong mood that I couldn't just not mention it. I don't know if anybody around here has read through The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, but if anyone has, this whole game, I felt like the character Jake during the 3rd book as he was searching for a way to Midworld. It's hard to articulate that feeling, but that's as close as I can get.

I'm also anxiously awaiting the chance to experience Shenmue 2. I'm holding out for the Dreamcast version, a shop down the street is selling a copy in mint condition for $50, so I'm hoping to snag that up with my next pay-check! I hear lots of really good things about it, and knock-on-wood, no spoilers yet!

Yeah, Lan Di is a total badass. I'm very interested in finding out how he got that scar on
his left cheek, I wonder if that ever gets revealed. The voice-acting for Lan Di and Ryo didn't bother me at all, really. It was mostly those odd transitions when starting conversations, or continuing them, the voice-acting was a little unnaturally paced for English. And the "extras" in the game were kind of immersion-breaking. Though the high-school girl who tells you not to hit on her is classic.
