"A nearly-naked figure approaches, and of course it's Yunalesca. She looks exactly like she did in Seymour's creepy 'personal' video, including completely gravity-defying thong and boob covers. Nothing says 'Respected Religious Figure' like wearing ass floss."

Wild ARMs 3 Part 1

Ben continues to save my lazy ass, as he has contributed yet another hilarious recap to the site. I have been swamped with work, and it’s taken me well over a week to finally post this, so my apologies (once again) to Ben for the delay.

Anyway, those of you with working brains might notice that this is a brand new game…well, to the site anyway. And this recap is a long one. I know how much you guys like the long ones.

I hope to have another post sometime soon. Like in the next century. And yes, the last post was an April Fools joke. I obviously still think Edgeworth is gay. Come on, you guys, this is me we’re talking about here.

Confession time

I know it’s been a while since I did a game commentary post, and since I played all the way through Ace Attorney Investigations over a month ago, it’s as good a time as any to remedy that. There’s just one problem, and it’s one that has caused me to procrastinate on making this post. I’m afraid you guys are going to kill me for this, but I have to come clean. Let me rephrase that — I have to make a confession. You see, after playing through Ace Attorney Investigations, I no longer think Miles Edgeworth is gay.

Wait! At least hear me out! VGR isn’t going to turn into the GameFAQs message boards or anything like that. I still think Squall and Seifer and Link and Phoenix Wright and all the Suikoden guys and so on are fruitier than a sackful of bananas. There’s no cause for alarm. But in this one isolated case, I have to admit I was wrong about Miles Edgeworth. “Hold on just a minute, Jeanne,” you say. “You have seen his outfit, right?” Well, yes. The fuchsia suit — not to mention the frilly cravat — is quite the hard evidence in the “Miles Edgeworth is gay” case. But isn’t it possible he’s just a metrosexual who enjoys fancy clothes? Yes. Yes it is.

I suppose you want me to explain why I’ve had a change of heart — or a change of gaydar, if you prefer. I don’t know what to tell you. There wasn’t really a single defining moment from the game that changed my mind. It was more of a vibe. Like, he just seemed to have a rapport with some of the (adult) female characters that I wouldn’t really expect from a man who thinks vaginas are icky. Also, when he’s surrounded by a plethora of dudes wearing pink who are clearly into the cock, it makes him seem less homosexual in comparison. I don’t know. Maybe Phoenix’s clear attraction to him in the first three games made me think he automatically returned the sexy feelings. Without Phoenix around to make fuck-me eyes at him across the courtroom, my perception is no longer skewed. It’s nothing scientific, okay? I don’t have to prove anything to you — I’m not on trial here.

So I hope you aren’t too disappointed in me for admitting this. Maybe in time you can forgive me. In the meantime, I hope this link will make it up to you.

Wild ARMs Part 4

Oh my god, you guys, I am so happy that Ben is back with a new recap. We missed you, Ben!

Join him on another phallus-filled adventure in the land of Filgaia, which now has a new, VGR-appropriate nickname. Can you guess what it is? Read and find out!

Happy 8th Birthday!

It’s that time of year again! Now, I know I didn’t deliver on a lot of my promises from a year ago, and I apologize for that. I really wanted to get that site redesign done, but that just didn’t happen.

This year, I am making no promises and no goals for the site. I am still very invested in keeping the site going and creating as much new content as I can — rest assured that even though the updates are not as frequent as in the past, I am not bored with recapping. I still want to get caught up on my neglected recaps and I still want to redesign the site. If I get around to that, cool. If not, I won’t look like a huge jackass for making promises I didn’t keep.

So now that the bad stuff is out of the way, it’s time for the good stuff. Thanks again to everyone who is still around even though I’m slow with the updates. Thanks to the other recappers, even those of you who have unfortunately disappeared off the face of the internet (I miss you guys!). Thanks to everyone who has sent me supportive e-mails, who has commented on the site, and who has helped me out with Quick Quotes.

I have one recap for you today. It’s a short one, but size doesn’t matter, right? Not unless you’re in a gay fanfic, anyway. So enjoy Suikoden Part 11. Stay tuned for Part 12 in the near future.

Holy shit, I can’t believe this site is eight years old!

Scheduled Maintenance

I’m biting the bullet and upgrading Wordpress tonight. So I apologize in advance for breaking anything. After I’m done with this, you’ll probably need to log in again. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Update: I, uh, think it’s done. Let me know if anything looks effed up.
