Welcome back, me, I’ve been missed. I’ve spent the last week in Tokyo and Osaka, visiting with various producers on many of our upcoming games, including Resident Evil 5 (two early words: “awesome” and “totally”), Street Fighter IV, Bionic Commando, We Love Golf, the Ace Attorney guys, various Mega Man producers and much more I cannot discuss without fear of reprisal from Capcom ninja — sorry, shinobi* — death squads. In the next day or two, I’ll be posting some cool photos of the Capcom offices, as well as bringing you a guided tour to Devil May Cry fashions in action on the hip streets of Osaka. But in the meantime, enjoy this light entertainment. I dunno what’s better: the open-mouthed gapery of Batman as Joey or the purely nonsensical Robin/Rachael pairing.
People wonder sometimes what we do all day. Most of the time it’s just boring old work, but sometimes you get research something truly bizarre. Such was the case today.
In a meeting early today, someone asked: “What are the names of the two characters in Forgotten Worlds?”
Well, the blue character we’ve used in a couple a fighting games, and his name is The Unknown Soldier. Not a very imaginitive name, but at least he had one. The red guy’s name was a lot harder to discover. You could only play as him if you were the second player, so he just didn’t get as much notice. We researched for awhile, looking both internally and over the web, hunting for his name.
Turns out he does have a name, though we only ever used it when he appeared as a thug in “Final Fight.” Sending one of our helper zombies down into archives (we pay them in delicious brains), we uncovered his name and are happy to confirm that his name is Two P (2p) . . .
Didn’t think we could get less imaginitive than The Unknown Soldier, did you?
I am pretty sure lolcats are officially uncool, but just like crackheads after crack went out, I am left caught in the wake, still laughing myself dumb. If you’re like me and find that the regular old internet isn’t providing enough lolcats for you to get your fix, your prayers have been answered by LOLINATOR.COM. It takes the regular, crappy internet and turns it lolcat-errific!
Even if you’ve already read everything we post 4x, it’s fresh all over again after lolification.
