Thanks. I've actually been visiting the dojo since these days http://web.archive.org/web/200105170152 ... plink.com/

Finally decided to create an account due to all the recent activity/news regarding Shenmue.

Anybody have suggestions of the celebrities we should target? We need the type of celebrity that would generate news simply because they mentioned Shenmue.

I like Colbert because i think he has the ability to get people to join the campaign. In addition, there is a good chance he mentions it on his TV show. Historically, he has supported all kinds of campaigns. This is his twitter, https://twitter.com/StephenAtHome and this is his Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/thecolbertreport

Let's start taking some action and spreading the word. What do we have to lose?

I cannot believe that debate went on for as long as it did...

Anyway, why did everyone start hating lil B? Was it because I used to tweet the shit out of him about the tweetathon and got no response? I asked Oprah for a RT too once, but she didn't oblige either. I still think one RT from Oprah could change EVERYTHING. Imagine having that sort of clout. You could tweet the world a better place.

Big name celebrities will never vouch for this game series. We'll only see endorsements from popular Youtube gamers after a new game is announced. The likes of which might include AlphaOmegaSin, HappyConsoleGamer, or Angry Joe.

Stranger things have happened. I'm not expecting a big name celebrity to "vouch" for Shenmue. At the least, I think we can get a simple tweet that will generate attention. In order for this to happen we would need a lot of support and I don't think it hurts to try.

I suggested Stephen Colbert because I think he is an easy target. He often mentions things fans bring to his attention on air. For instance, if we get one person to post something about the campaign on his Facebook page and then at 100 people that comment in support of the campaign, we might get a response. Furthermore, we could set up a separate Thundercalp just for Colbert. I think it's worth the effort. Yes our chances may be slim but like I said, stranger things have happened.

He is the type of celebrity who would support a campaign like this. Undoubtedly, if we can get any celebrity to mention Shenmue it will be a huge help.

Hahaha hey we can't say with certitude it won't work until we've tried. I think we should also go for Oprah and Tom Cruise.

I tried Dappy too. Think I even complemented him on his penis size, thinking that would seal the deal. It didn't work though, and I just felt angry with myself for complementing an already huge egotist on his penis size.

Good shout. Britters would do anything for Suzuki-san, if her song "Slave For Yu" is anything to go by.
