I'm watching aliens and all of the dropship pilots lines were exactly copied for the drop ship from Starcraft.

I.e "in the pipe five by five" and "we're in for some chop" are directly lifted from this movie. Even the intonation is the same.

Sweden
Sweden was the first country to release the NES outside of Japan, even ahead of USA due to the Swedish distributor Bergsala taking an Interest in the NES and meeting up Nintendo in Japan.

Been keeping this info for years so the details are a bit hazy. Would need to reread the book about it for the details.

Maybe not ball blowing but it caused a stir in the Persona community thread.

Oh another Persona one.

Makoto from Persona 5 has what looks like a braid in her hair. It's actually a hair band.

We came very close to missing out on the Xbox after the entire Xbox team at Microsoft almost died after revealing the console for the first time at GDC 2000.

They got drunk as shit to celebrate the presentation and decided to see how many people they could fit inside an elevator. The elevator plunged down three floors with over 20 people in it before the emergency brakes deployed. A few bruises were all people got, but damn.

I read that Monokuma's VA suffered from dementia. I found that sad and ironic. It made me think of Heath Ledger and The Joker.

Necrobump Time!

Monokuma's VA also voiced Doraemon, essentially Japan's Mickey Mouse in terms of popularity.

It's still a crying shame that not enough of Western Capcom appreciate Akira "Akiman" Yasuda's work at Capcom. He's played a big part in the company's 80s and 90s glory days, designing both gameplay and characters. Better yet, he's got RANGE.
Oh, and he designed the characters in Turn-A-Gundam.

Here's a fantastic 2003 interview with him.

Thanks for the interview link. Here's a video on him I discovered recently.
