Hells Yes I Would Play Candy Crush If Good Old JR Was Doing Commentary

by Matthew Edward Hawkins

So, what’s on tap today as far as handpicked random video game related videos are concerned? Well…

- Someone in Brooklyn has managed to combine Dungeons & Dragons with yoga. Why? Because Brooklyn…

- Meanwhile, in England is a church that uses Flower, for the PS3, as part of its Sunday evening worship service…

- Speaking of the F word, long time followers of this blog may already know that my all time fave DS game is Flower, Sun, and Rain (man, how’s that for a segue). Which was originally a PS2 effort, Suda 51’s first title for the system, but one that was never officially translated. I pray one day someone will make that valiant effort, but till then, here’s the original opening that someone translated via video editing software…

- As a hardcore Sega Saturn fan, I’ve always been curious about the Video CD card but had no real reason to pull the trigger and get one (despite the fact that, in my earliest days of diving head first into Asian cinema, I ended up acquiring a few VCDs, since they were so popular in Hong Kong). Thankfully, someone has finally done a video about this most obscure of Sega add ons (which is saying a lot if you think about it)…

- Time for something completely different (as well as my first attempt at embedding a video from Niconico); ages ago I posted a pic of a Japanese kickboxer, who is also a cosplayer, coming to ring in Touhou attire. Well, finally after all this time, is footage of said scene in action…

- Speaking of fighting, here we have a piano modded to play Tekken

- And a music video in the form of a fake fighting game that Tiny Cart first wrote about months ago, but I’ve been posting Instagrams from the artist and the visualist, so I still brag about knowing them both before anyone else…

- K, time to bring things to a close with yet another classic: Jim Ross doing commentary on assorted games…
