Ouendanagain

Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 - the world's most unpronounceable sequel to an awesome rhythm game. It’s almost here! The sequel to the fantastic “Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan” simply entitled “Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2″ is now available to pre-order from Play Asia for around $50 which is about £25 (or £20 if you’re reading this tomorrow, arf) excluding postage and packaging. It apparently ships on the 17th of May, so you’ve only got a couple of weeks to wait if you don’t want to pre-order it. Needless to say Fat Conan and I would be throwing cash at Play Asia like the dirty girls they are if it wasn’t for the fact that FC’s spent all of this month’s food, hygiene product and media budget on locks, keys and other door related paraphernalia.

Anyway, those of you not afflicted by a terrible drunken-key-loss incident last weekend should go ahead and buy them up (incidentally taking advantage of our strong pound for import purposes) and look forward to getting a little slice of happiness through the post next month. FC and I will just sit here and weep (or as close as FC can come to weeping, which is probably just to look stern).

What are you looking for?

This is my favourite spam comment thus far (and believe me there have been more than a few):

“This site contains relevant information about erotica hot wife…”

Not a hot wife, not even an erotica hot wife, but the extraneous data associated with the erotica hot wife. That’s pretty niche. I suppose they’re pandering to those men who buy copies of Playboy not for the dirty pictures, or for the articles, but for the publisher’s details. If such a niche does exist then here’s a little treat for you bizarre guys:

“Published monthly by Playboy in national and regional editions, Playboy, 680 North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60611.”

Hot stuff.

Damnation AlleyFat Conan is a fan of B-movies, he has been since he was young barbarian watching late-night channel 4 on a black and white telly. There was a time when that channel showed dreadful classic after dreadful classic and many a Saturday morning was met in the presence Godzilla, dome headed aliens or deadly creatures from the depths. In his early twenties FC encountered a pair of classics that would outshine those that came before them in just about every aspect of cinematic failure. This pairing was 1977′s “Damnation Alley” and 1992 TV movie “Steel Justice“, true masterpieces of the genre, whatever genre that may be. Needless to say FC loved them both. (more…)
