358.Langrange Point
I might be getting this confused with another Japanese only Famicom JRPG but this isn’t a peer vetted review board this is History Class. No One Reading this was alive to be blasted in amazement at what sounds were coming out of their Nintendo Famicom.
I was in Japan in 1988. And I will tell you I was dropped off at a soccer practice and cried until I was picked up. I was too small for sports anyways. There is nothing worse being the smallest kid in your class and being the smallest kid in your sports team and most of the kids were two years younger.
Why am I telling all of you this? Because I bought the Langrange Point Soundtrack on reputation listened to it two weeks straight and could not begin to tell you a thing about it. Being 4 years old and crying at one soccer practice is a stronger memory. There’s a lot of facts and figures about video games in my brain but information about Langrange Point isn’t one of them.
357. Donkey Kong 64
Let’s talk about 1998 now. Probably. Looking up dates of video games is for other people. I guess it was 1999 probably? Hmm… now you got me thinking class.
I had a real good time with a Nintendo 64. What being a single child with the video games that other people came over to play. Maybe they didnt like me very much. Maybe I was that kid. That hurts to think about you know?
But being a single child somehow I had 4 roughly working N64 controllers at any one time. And one time one of them was starting to fade into dust and Limp Analog Controller Syndrome.
This controller fading into obivilion meant I needed a new one one at gatherings said this one was mine. And that was the Extreme Green Donkey Kong 64 Controller.
It was a bonus only at ToysRUs. This list is more informative than the Gamespot forums. I sold it to a very member of this forum along with my in box entire N64 collection right before N64 stuff exploded in price. I hope they enjoyed Donkey Kong 64. The day i beat Donkey Kong 64 I grew up a little.
Mark Echo’s Getting Up
In 2008 I would get blacklisted from Guesthouses in Tokyo. Well they corrected that after they threatened me and said “yellowlisted”.
I ain’t got a clue if I still I am. If you need a guesthouse in Japan I still recommend guesthouse.co.jp. Our sponsor this post.
Now students. Pay attention. I was staying in a guest house. I franlkly had too much shit. I had I think two PS2s and an original xbox in my two suitcases. I was a moron who had moved to Japan and loved video games. He had just gotten fired from his first job. Staying in a guest house and playing Mark Echo’s Getting Up.
One night I would lock myself out of my room in a shirt and boxers. Eventually a Japanese housemate came home let me borrow some shorts and a thousand yen. I would use that thousand yen to travel across Tokyo because the guesthouse would not be able to send anyone to unlock my door for three days.
A week later and unrelated the blacklisting happened. Mark Echo’s Getting Up against all licensing reason is on Steam and you can buy it for 2.50. I don’t need to talk about it that’s your homework. I was just given this list of games to talk about. Class Dismissed. Do your homework or not. I get paid the same.
