Neato! I love turn-based games. The 8-bit RPG is an interesting vehicle for story. I'm going to think about that.

Sonic's Drunk Driver 2. Every turn, he sticks his head out the window and barfs. He runs over just about everything crossing the road, including Tails. The game ends when he either hits a tree, drives into a store front, or gets caught by the police who chase him throughout the game, and who are made up of Sonic villains like Cyber Nazo. Final screens are of Sonic unconscious in his wrecked vehicle or being taken away by the police.

It's kinda like Carmageddon except the controls are like those in Eternal Darkness when you are going insane.

Great article btw. Loved it.

I read this scifi story that said, in the future, people would prefer virtual reality to real life. That idea kinda scares me a bit.

Harley Quinn is in Injustice? Hum. May have to play that game now. She's my favorite DC character.

That Batman is "Extremely Posable". LOL

What do you get a wealthy bachelor who has everything and is secretly the vigilante crime fighter Batman? You're damn right. A lightsaber.

I just became aware of the awesomeness of The Spoony One. I'll roll a virtual 20 sided die to see if I save against shame. 17. Oh thank god. I'm safe.

I mentioned it briefly in another blog, but I wanted to do a full one. The characters are all listed with copious detail on that Puchi Carat Palace web site I linked to above, but here's the list:

Garnet
Thyst
Aqua
C Mond
Rald
Pearl
By
Peridot
Sapphire
Opa
Paz
Rquo
Patrako

Notice they are all taken from the names for different gems. 

I forgot to look up if that controller was available for the NA version of the game, but I think so because it came with the LE edition that I'm pretty sure was released in NA. If I see one out in the wild, I'll snatch it up in a heartbeat.

Borderlands meets Halo does have a nice ring to it.

I read a strategy where you can let your screen build up a lot so that when you hit a big combo it dumps a ton of gems on your opponent. It's kinda risky though, so it may be better to be fast.

It's a chibi controller.
