Between this and The Dark Id coming back I think all of my internet dreams are coming true.

PLEASE tell me there's a drinking game you have planned for all of this. Brb while I sacrifice a goat to skew the LP gods in my favor.

With the people of Hel

After the wolf

Well this is a blast from the past.

Man, I loved the hell out of both these games back in the day, was always a bit of a shame to me that the third one's never gonna be made. Doesn't look like they've aged particularly well though.

I love the shenmue series for it's Mr.Myagi style paper thin philosophy and setting, which is why I was never really grabbed by its spiritual successor in the Yakuza series with it's ultra-violence and arseholes, even though in reality the actual setting is far more exciting. Shenmue seemed to have a lot of 'heart' to it which made me enjoy it immensley as a kid, which I can't really quantify what actually that quality is and why exactly it's one of my favourite childhood games. Maybe it's just nostalgia.

I had all the patience in the world for slow, pondering games with fleshed out worlds when I was younger, but even I found a particular upcoming segment to be ponderous and frustratingly slow, so it'll be interesting to see how you deal with it, considering you found the first Shenmue to be a really slow and pointless. Like the forklifts but worse. Hopefully there's enough bad mangled english to keep you going during that, because there's enough silly bits in the game that I want to see again, as it's been about a decade since I played it.

I love that the one person in China that Ryo won't obsessively speak to is the attractive motorcycle chick who's all but throwing herself at him.

Also I'm trying to think of a Pequod's coffee vs Queequeg's coffee joke regarding those two salesmen, but all I did was make myself sad for trying to make an Invisible War joke

My fondest memory of the first Shenmue 1 LP is when bandunk made that joke about master Chen saying "theres no power in your arms" relating to hand jobs which had me laughing hard for 10 minutes straight. I may have peed myself a little as well.

Good luck with this one guys!

It was on this day that his greatest enemy defeated, the true lord of darkness arose. His name? MARIO.
I first heard about on Youtube and realize it was April 1st so I was sad but then I saw this thread and there was more videos which made me so happy. The first game LP made got me into LPs in the first place so I can't wait for the rest of the LP.

Hello! I see you.


Spending all your money on capsule toys and Zippos Zuppos is in fact the best way to start this game, because you can sell all that poo poo at pawnshops (which was apparently touted as a major feature back when this game was coming out - "SELL ALL YOUR CAPSULE TOYS FROM THE PREVIOUS GAME AND EARN A FUCKTON OF MONEY, HOLY poo poo").

Yes, Ryo, just keep telling yourself that the money is gone because some bad guys stole it.

You can find homoeroticism in anything if you're looking for it enough.

Any game involving large men grappling each other is going to be at least a little homoerotic no matter what. That and the fact that Ryo refuses to talk to any woman that isn't giving him directions.

If it weren't for hearing you guys react to it each time, I would have sworn that you had edited in that 80's buttrock that plays every time Joy shows up. It doesn't sound like part of the same game at all.

Hello! I see you.


I didn't know you could suck so bad at the crate minigame that you get less than the usual $60, so this is an educational LP already! :pseudo: To be fair, the 360 dpad is terrible, and the QTE chimes cut out at one point which probably doesn't help either.

Also, Delin is even better in Japanese:

The real reason is that I am bad at video games but let's just go with that thing you said about the 360 dpad.
