Hardly the strangest Japanese game either. That title might go to...

And going to a posh school for pigeons. I would imagine that’s reason enough to play it."

What about the nice train?


Then, of course there's the anime...with the nice boat...

What is that screenshot from?

*quick google*

Oh, Corpse Party...well, I guess the title is a bit of a clue as to the gameplay...

consumers are stupid, but rather than admitting it, the want to turn business people into snake oil salesman and say they got "tricked"

look, no business person is going to turn down easy profit. by being stupid and continuing doing business with ubisoft, ea, bioware, activision, etc, you're just making it easy for them to get away with it.

it's almost like positive reinforcement. they get money by doing bad things, so they'll keep doing it.

the government isn't going to stop it, it's free entertainment. the companies aren't going to stop it. the indie devs aren't powerful enough to compete and force them to change. what to do? simple, really.

instead of making a million cartoons about big bad companies, STOP BUYING THEIR GAMES.

but don't despair. there are people even dumber than the typical consumer, the people who actually think ubisoft/ea/activion are great and provide great products and services. those are the people paving the way for idiocracy and of course they buy things using mommy's wallet.

you can't stop those people. you cna only do your part.

It took me hours of trying (and about two walkthroughs) before I was finally able to "get up/turn on light/get robe/put on robe/look in pocket/get all from pocket/get all" and finally "leave room" so I could start the game without dying!

Even after that, you have to know what to say to Ford, why digital watches are neat, what to eat and when, and what to do in the dark, and I wouldn't have it any other way

It was the most infuriating game invented, with the possible exception of the Starship Titanic.

Meanwhile in the British Empire around 1850

The Burmese ofcourse do not like our presence in the area and started of causing a bit of a hostility increase but so far the military force in the area can keep it down.



Later on I was brought to notice a group of brigands where causing a bit of a trouble around Singapore and we wouldn't British if we didn't delt with it the appropriate way.



Meanwhile down under.

Meanwhile in Burma







But first reinforcements where required to have these Burmese crushed under my boot so had to grab my fleet out of Singapore which was the nearest with Transport capability and have it move some units out of Calcutta to support the stationed forces in Rangoon.





and down under
