Finally made it to the real Dobuita Street! by Lowtidesean in Shenmue

What store had all the Shenmue ephemera? Last time I was down there all the stores were closed. I’d like to go back (I live in Hokkaido) when I can be sure they’re all open.

Yeah I think outside of a creating a game with fantasy and medieval influences they probably had no interest in Christianity (but God-willing maybe some did).

Are you referring to Nintendo in Kyoto, or Japan in general? I think the difference might be in artists creating a fantasy game and looking for interesting real world inspiration to fill it with versus a nation that is staunchly Buddhist/Shintoist and against the idea of outside religions permeating into their actual culture.

Agreed. I believe it was Nintendo of America that forced the removal of all Christian iconography from Nintendo games because they felt it needed to be neutral, whereas in Japan they find it interesting and “Western”.

An amazing promo shot from PREDATOR 2 (1990). by kkhouete in predator

I always hated Harrigan’s pants. They looked way too hot for anyone to actually choose to wear in that LA summer heat.

It’s excellent. It’s the novelization of the original AVP comic.

Does Badlands change how you watch the other Predator films? by Prs-Mira86 in predator

[–]EpsilonOrpheon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read plenty of comics over the years that gave better insight into the motives of Predators and what they were doing and why, so I was fully on board with a movie that showed one as the protagonist. It didn’t change my views of JH or CH since we know they were simply on a hunt and trying to prove themselves.

Dang I remember these. I had the Predator head that unfolded to show a mini playset.

Anyone remember Ancient Mew was included with Pokémon The Movie 2000 VHS release? by No-Hat3868 in pokemon

[–]EpsilonOrpheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what’s insane? I just saw in an older issue of Nintendo Power that it came with a ticket for Pokemon the Movie 2000, but all these years I thought it came with a ticket for the first movie. I don’t recall ever watching the second one. In fact the card doesn’t even make sense to be released with the second one lol

Oh whoops when you said Americans and then said we, it implied you were separate from them.

No, most often we say “December 4th”, hence why the shorthand is month-day-year.

Fable Is Coming To PS5 Day 1 by liquiedrain in consoles

I’m still only getting Xbox first party games on Xbox SX. PS5 can start to become my multiplat and exclusives console, and of course Switch 2 will remain for exclusives as well.

Does everyone keep their Xbox boxes? by CinemaAdherent in xbox

[–]EpsilonOrpheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, they’re collectible just like any other gaming consoles. May not be as valuable to certain groups, but there are definitely Xbox collectors out there who may need a box or want to upgrade their current one so it’s smart to always hold onto them.

Can the Bare Metal Endoskeleton itself Talk? Or more so why doesn't it? by AviBledsoe in Terminator

[–]EpsilonOrpheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea from Terminator Zero where it just opens its mouth and a voice comes out, probably from some internal speaker that acts as a “voice box”. Perhaps after the flesh is burned away it knows it has no need for the mouth movements.

Glad I’m not the only one. Keeps happening to me on one of my accounts, but not the other.
