SegaShiro: Pure SEGA HARDCORE!

The internet definitely shares some similarities with the wild west but the free trade of opinion and ideas is something worth saving. I haven’t had the time to fully grasp the full ramifications but the video above does a good job as a primer.

If you are in Canada, like me, and are thinking what the heck does it have to do with me? Check out this tidbit from the CBC:

_{“SOPA ignores the fact that IP addresses are assigned by regional, not national, entities. The American Registry for Internet Numbers allocates IP addresses for Canada (both for individual customers and governments) and 20 Caribbean nations, as well as the U.S. However, under SOPA, the IP addresses it allocates would be considered “domestic,” i.e., U.S., IP addresses…SOPA effectively grants the U.S. jurisdiction over some foreign websites…The long arm of U.S. law reaches into Canada using SOPA.”}

I don’t advocate piracy but this potentially very scary. For example, we could be “shut down” for running video reviews or streaming live gameplay content.

Yakuza has always been a series of extremes – when you weren’t punching a dude in the face you were often taking care of young girl or finding her puppy’s food. Of course, you could also just completely goof off and play the variety of mini-games.

You can visit the picture booth with your favorite NPC, you can hit up the batting cage, unwind from a long day with some pole-dancing, and gamble. Yes, there is lots of gambling:  ”new activities in Black Panther 2 include roulette, cho-han, slot machines, and golf. ”

This would make for a potentially interesting Wii-U title as the touchscreen interface is already built into that console. If Nintendo’s online gameplay infrastructure is solid it could quite an epic and frantic experience.

Another day, another Total War game I wish I could play. The only Total War game I think I can run on my laptop is Total War Rome. Maybe. The little machine I bought last week didn’t seem to like the demo of Napoleon at all. If you are a console gamer like me…all I can say is that it sure looks awesome.

The expansion to Shogun 2 is falling in March.

I don’t know about you but I haven’t seen enough of Anarchy Reigns of late and this video fills that gap. Watching this show reel that is displayed in Platinum Game’s head office (literally, the reel plays in the lobby on three LCDs) makes me happy to be a SEGA fan of late.

Now, where is my Bayonetta 2?
