Time for another film review – this time for a classic SF movie from the ’70s.
I finish the first world of the game.

It’s March, and it’s time for White Day—and with it, time to cover a romantic comedy, or in this case, a romantic dramedy, with ToraDora.
Deadly Fight in Hiroshima Video Review Blocked
As a quick heads up – my video review of Deadly Fight in Hiroshima has been blocked internationally by Toei. My written review is still up, but the video review is done. I might try re-recording the review as video only, but honestly, the video has had a pretty good life. This is the problem with trying to discuss a visual medium in another visual medium – sometimes the people who own the works want more control of the dialog around the work than the people doing the talking – which is even more of a situation if you’re working with creators from countries which don’t exactly have Fair Use protections enshrouded in law. Ah well.

I show off some of the Polymega’s features and start the game.
My Emulation Rules:
- Save States are OK.
- No Clip and Invulnerability Cheats are not.
- In short – I Have Perform The Actions To Do The Thing.
I’ve changed my web hosting from WordPress.com to Bluehost, and I think it’s important to talk about why.

How To Support The Blog
Having moved hosting companies from directly going through WordPress to going through Bluehost, I’ve possibly gotten some new readers through the site getting re-indexed. So, while I have included notes at the bottom of each post on how to support the site, I haven’t elaborated any further on those methods. So, here’s a more in-depth list of ways to support me.
Continue readingMy Next Two Let’s Plays
We’re coming up the end of Mark of the Ninja, so it’s time to announce my next couple games – if you’ve been watching my Twitch Channel (http://twitch.tv/countzeroor), you’ll already know what these are, but if you haven’t (and you should) here’s the picks – determined by a semi-unscientific poll on one of the Discord servers I’m on, since I didn’t get any responses on the Patreon. Both of these are games on my Video Game New Year’s Resolution List.
Next up is probably one of the biggest shames on my Pile of Shame—a game that I’ve played extensively, including for Nintendo Power Retrospectives, but never got around to beating (at least not that I remember)—Super Mario World. This Let’s Play is already completely in the bag, with all the videos recorded as of this writing.
After that, continuing my pincer strategy of making my way through both ends of the Final Fantasy series, it’s Final Fantasy XVI, including the DLC.

This week, I’ve got an older animer review – Tengoku Daimakiyo (or Heavenly Delusion, as the manga is localized as).
Tengoku Daimakiyo is available for streaming on Hulu/Disney+

Book Review: The History of Hentai Manga
Kimi Rito’s The History of Hentai Manga is something that is not common in general – an academic text aimed for wider audience on the topic of adult materials which does not approach the topic from what I’ll call a sex-negative perspective. On more than a few occasions I’ve accounted works on sex work and pornography which are sex (and sex worker)-negative, or try to take a neutral perspective and end up on a somewhat patronizing point of view. Certainly, I haven’t encountered any which cover the medium from an art-history standpoint. Kimi Rito’s work does provide what I’d almost call a more art-history point of view – not in the form I’d have chosen, but still an interesting form nonetheless.

Dragonlance: Shadows of the Dragon Queen Part 6: No Longer “Tacti-cool”
We had a bit of a more role-play heavy chapter this time, somewhat related to some technical difficulties.
Continue readingI’ve finally beaten Xenoblade Chronicles – now it’s time for my thoughts on the game.
I realize partway through the level that this isn’t a ninja stronghold and start over.
