Yes, but if I were in charge at SEGA, would you want ME working on a Valkyria Chronicles game? :)

Yeah, a lot of those old beat 'em ups haven't aged as well, but Streets of Rage is still good.  It's nice to have a game like that every once in a while.

My friend reviewed this game for me on the GamerDad.com site I write for, and he really liked it.

I think my favorite part of this game is the one beginning story section where they all talk in cheesy, over the top dramatic voices.  "I'm closer than that, fools, I'm HERE!!!"  Cracks me up every time.

Taito made a game very similar to this called Dungeon Magic and it's way better.  It's on Taito Legends 2, and one of the characters is a sexy elf with green hair, so that's who I always picked.

That makes no sense that they'd release the game in English in Europe, but not here.  I felt kinda bad for bashing them about that, but not now.

YES!  That's exactly what I'm saying!  Even some of my favorite RPG series, like the newest Mario & Luigi: Dream Team game, got a little too long.  Just because you can make a longer RPG nowadays, doesn't mean you should.

The GameCube Paper Mario game is probably the best RPG on the GameCube and my favorite of all the Mario RPGs.  Not once did the game get boring or bogged down, and it has some of the most clever writing of any game I played.  Too bad the last Paper Mario game, Sticker Star, ended up being my least favorite Mario RPG.

I've always wanted to have my own YouTube channel and videos.  But I lack the time, knowhow, money, and energy to do that.  When I was in college and writing for The Dallas Morning News, I thought I'd be a big well-known game reviewer someday, like some of those YouTube channel guys are now.  Unfortunately, it hasn't happened yet.  But at least I still get to review games. 

I wonder what kind of demands I would have if I had a cult like you do. :)

I have a big announcement tomorrow on my blog, so you'd better read it when I post it then! :)

PS: The Fifth Element was a great movie.

Yeah the reason why Super Mario Land feels a little weird is because it was made by a different team.

The music was pretty slick, though.  Hip Tanaka is neat.
