Ultra obscure, Japanese PSone titles are my jam, but they’re becoming increasingly scarce. For instance, pretty much everyone knows about LSD these days (okay, maybe not everyone, but you know what I mean).
So thank goodness for Tokyo Scum Brigade. It has long been a favorite corner of the web, for those of us who love Japan’s extremely weird side. The kind that makes dakimakuras and dollfie dreams look positively pedestrian.
You’ll find everything you need to know about horror manga (in addition to Blip Tokyo, I also need to get my ass to Japan for Umezz Carnival). As well as reviews of trendy bars in Shibuya (specifically ones that get Resident Evil makeovers on occasion).
But by far their best game related post is their most recent: it’s all about a pinball game made by a visual effects artist that’s a God among gore hounds.
You should also add the Same Hat Tumblr to your RSS reader while you’re at it. It’s where Ryan Sands (unquestionably the driving force behind the zine renaissance AND popularizing underground manga in recent years) and friends post random goodies.
Like an early 90′s PC game being used as a source of inspiration for a mash-up involving a song that some might recognize from Silence of the Lambs and footage from a 70s flick that details how harsh those Russian winters can be. I think?
The following is not for the feint of heart. And was originally posted in January of this year. Been waiting ages to share this!
