you can't even begin to imagine how much my brother has wanted someone, anyone, to make an alternate history TRPG with pokemon in it.

Okay, so we're up to two.

It's the crossover nobody asked for.

To be fair, the best gifts are often the ones you never even knew you wanted.

Indeed. It's a well-worn saw that the fans don't actually know what they want and you need to give them something they never thought of -- a couple examples I've seen over the years are "Goth pantheon" and "Bond meets Lovecraft meets Office Space".

I think they overestimated the Widgetiness of this idea though. If you did it with WWII instead of Sengoku it'd sell like hotcakes worldwide. Hitler brought out Charmander! Go, Churchill!

Actually, fuck Pokemon. Now I just want a game where you capture and train famous figures from throughout history.

Feed Gandhi nothing but raw meat, then starve him for three days before his match with Napoleon and Madame Curie.

THERE WILL BE BRAWL!

An interview with Yoshinori Ono, re: Poison

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #3287 on:** December 21, 2011, 09:35:20 PM »

Although I like to think that Poison is a male-to-female pre-op transgender, I have to agree with Capcom's decision to keep it officially ambiguous. The lady is already an exaggerated amalgamation of trashy sexual deviancy merely judging from her design alone, the added mystery of her physical gender just drives the entire forbidden nature of her fruit to its logical extreme. When you look at her, you don't know what you're in store for, and your only guarantee is that the very foundation of your world will be permanently and most powerfully rocked. Also maybe herpes.

Now, whether that interpretation holds weight with, or if Poison is even somewhat identifiable without concrete definition by, actual transgendered women, I don't know. And that might be the more important question.

You should do a comic about it.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #3289 on:** December 21, 2011, 09:43:16 PM »

I... what? I'm not even sure I understand what I wrote. What exactly should I make the comic about? Are you talking about the part where fucks somebody wild ways?

'Cuz I might do that.

The problem with Poison is that she's on the one hand gaming's premiere transsexual character (Birdo doesn't count she's a fucking bird) and on the other hand she's possibly the trashiest goddamn whore that's ever smooshed her giant ass all over a TV screen.

Like I know there's going to be some bad jokes and a backwards view of social acceptance and a whole lot of Japan going on with this character just like there is with every minority when they first show up in the medium, but it seems like the more attention is paid to the status of her, uh, ride, the more the designers feel they need to morph her into a hypersexual black hole. Trannies already have to put up with a... mostly undeserved reputation for being all 24/7 bondage queens and Poison seems to be driving that point home.

...

That just slipped out I swear.

...

God DAMN it.

In other words she's a "Strong Male-to-Female Character".

The best part is how you completely omit the pronoun instead of even trying to figure out which one to use.

Sony sued over terms of service update

Quote

In September, Sony updated its PlayStation Network terms of service to prevent class-action lawsuits. Now that change has itself instigated a class-action lawsuit.
