Pining for dismemberment

Posted by Dodongo on Thursday, September 18, 2003

Well, it’s been a while, but I’ve taken a 15 minute break from wedding preparations to play some game. All I want to do is go on a killing spree with my napalm thrower and watch the bodies pile up, but noooooo… I’ve got to talk to flower sellers and figure out plots. Sometimes I yearn for Soldier of Fortune…

“Maybe you’d like to buy something for your girlfriend”, the flower seller says.

“Hey”, I say, “that’s a great idea. How about one of those clay pots with the red flowers in them”

“Those are 5 yen each. You want me to wrap it for you?”

“No, that’s okay. I’ll just give it to her like this. Here’s 5 and 1 extra for you”

“Oh, thank you. I hope she enjoys it!”, says the flower seller as she hands me the clay pot.

“I’m sure she will. Good-bye.”

Tim, I’m so glad you chose this for a screenshot. I remember this scene of the game vividly because I had the exact same reaction as you. I then created a sort of sub-game for myself of killing these bozos then seeing how long I could stay alive when their customers and police start bugging out. I find it best to shoot this woman in the knee as soon as she says “hello”. Good luck!

They must have had to scrounge for Asian-American voice over talent because the acting suddenly took a turn for the worst. That bartender was horrible and it sounded like they recorded his VO in a parking lot. Whenever it would switch from the main character to the bartender there’d be all this background rumble and hiss behind his voice.
