theres also this commercial thats been airing in japan recently - super mario world anyone?
I've been told from a member of staff at one games co in Japan that their companies pachinko division has brutal working hours..
Another industry friend told me Sega has a Habit of making failed dev staff work in their arcades. Must be pretty humiliating..
..and hasn't square Enix had a number of nervous breakdowns and attempted suicides?
Sadly it will still contain Tim Rogers` articles, won`t it?
eh? hasn`t all the `Japanese talent` that joined grasshopper recently already U-turned and left for other companies?
Hm, what could Kotaku possibly do to keep the fanboys in a constant state of foaming agreement or vitriol?? Oh that`s right, introduce a binary review system to keep the threads alive and the advertisers happy.
Real classy.
Real classy.
Sadly I have met a fair few english teachers in japan that have been told to teach the kids at their school `katakana english` I met one english teacher at a focus group who started speaking to an employee of the company we were at in english, but in this weird mockery of badly spoken japanese engrish.
`watto dzuuu yuuu dzuuu heaa` (What do you do here?)

chainsaw lollipop?? woody allen making games?? "you got to keep making new titles" ??
And you get paid for this???
And you get paid for this???
the fact that we`re stuck playing games we already played in 1998 suggests it already has that capability...
"According to a Sankei News report on MSN"
"Yes, this is national news in Japan"
Eh?
"Yes, this is national news in Japan"
Eh?
The fact that these discrepances didn`t spring to mind straight away before the developers even laid a finger on their keyboard to start programming amazes me somewhat.
let`s be honest, south korea is only considered cool in japan by easily led teenyboppers and lonely housewives interested in waifish, effeminate looking boybands,which are being intentionally targeted at
Japan and thats about it.
Noone else really gives a shit.

i view anything involving spontaneous action and free thought in japan with huge suspicion..
See all those cool, trendy kids in harajuku having their photos taken for fashion mags, and that "fruits" book??
most of those spontaneous originators work for the companies that make, or sell the clothes and are the result of many a stylist and make up artist..
Japan`s entertainment industry is carefully controlled to the hilt, how else could these ridiculous bi-monthly "booms" continue, and garbage like kat-tun and akb48 staying at the top of the charts?
Add in a herd mentality where not doing what the rest do is frowned upon and you have the ultimate easily led consumer society.

just because myamoto is in the picture doesnt mean its his daughter.. Dylan Cuthbert did not marry miyamoto`s daughter.

I still think it`s amazing how even television show propagate the myth that designing a video game is mainly writing some ridiculous scenario.
