Avoid these movies at all cost, I only paid 2 cents to rent but it was TOO MUCH. Not much else is new I suppose, but let me say doujin fighter game creators blow my mind yo. Also let me say I take no responsibility for what is on their website, considering they made a fighting game based on an anime based on a hentai game. Buyer beware.

Here’s the high/low lite of the day:
Woman: So I hear Pirates of the Caribbean is on sale for Fathers Day.
Me: Well…its been available for a long time now…
Woman: No, I mean like a sale, ON sale, I just don’t know where.
Me: Hmm…I dunno, I kinda doubt there’s a nationwide sale on the DVD.
Woman: Are you DOUBTING what I saw?
Me: ………yes.
She refused to believe that maybe she just didn’t see what store it was a commercial for, OBVIOUSLY there is a worldwide sale for Fathers Day, so keep an eye out for that!

Ok, so I’ve been working like mad at Purple Potamus, which kind of sucks a fat one, but whatever it keeps me busy. ALSO, people are retarded rather than assholish, so they give me a lot of stories. Too many for this hour but here’s a classic one:
Yusuf the actual cool coworker was talking to his girl on the cellphone, and I was helping an older Indian woman find a good movie “like Dumb and Dumber,” not a “stupid movie.” Right. So as if THAT wasn’t enough, Yusuf puts his girl on the speaker phone and asks the woman about the bruise he had on his shoulder (from the girl). He just wanted her to say “That looks serious” or whatever, but she went off about how he should call a doctor and take a picture immediately, then SUE THE SHIT OUT OF WHOEVER DID IT!!!! I ran away and hid in the musicals section cause I was laughing too much. Also every 3rd person is renting like 8 pornos. And the porn room is known as “the shire.” Riiiight. Also be advised that if you rent Blowjob Sandwitch #3? I WILL laugh in your face. It has happened before. I mean come on, how could you NOT laugh while rifling through a drawer full of porn dvds looking for that? The Paris Hilton DVD is the most rented thing in the store by the way. Just so you know.
In more “serious” news I’m going to Higashi Hiroshima on October 8th for an English conversation school. So visit and whatnot.

So I have a “job” for the “summer” now. I work at Purple Potamus now, as a “key holder” which means I’m a cashier who has a key to the store. Great idea right? So come by the store around midnight, we’ll do bad things cause I can get in or whatever. Thats the plan anyway. Gotta do something to supplement the paycheck, and every so often you have to do something for yourself. Like break your friends into a video store.

SPECIAL COMBO UPDATE!!1!
So my old journal thing was on a server that exploded like a thousand lonely suns, but some raw text entries recently got recovered, so here follows the only worthwhile one:
So there’s a really weird series of games out there. Cho Aniki. There is no way to explain how these games are, you must experience them. The most..tame(?) entry is the semi-offshoot shmup Gynoug. You’re a little angel guy shooting things and one of the bosses is well…strange looking. Next we go to Ai Cho Aniki. By this point you might guess Cho Aniki means “super big brother.” The series takes a total turn into left field (as if we could get any stranger) with Cho Aniki Cho Bakuretsu Hen. Its a-ok, its still a flying game I guess. But its also a fighting game. The speedo quotient goes way down, but only to make room for more insane characters. We get another little twist with Gourmet Sentai Bara Yarou, a Final Fight styled battler where you make food. You also get a pose button. POSE DOWN!!! The latest edition (on PS2 no less) is Cho Aniki Sei Naru Protein Densetsu. You have to protect a protein…man from all the big muscle men that fill the game. Wow.
Apparently there is just a genre of games in Japan called “kuso-ge” or literally “shit games.” These are games made specifically to be bad, which is like…totally up my alley. Just because they are considered “shitty games” doesn’t really mean they’re bad. Part of the appeal is the badness. There are some games that are just horrid, with no redeeming value. Some of the old WWF games (In Your House to be specific) spring to mind. Then again, thats probably just my perception. To someone, its a kuso-ge thats totally worth playing. And isn’t that what makes the world go ’round?
