Misogny and fantasy: inextricably linked?
Historically authentic sexism in fantasy? Let's unpack thatThis is an interesting and thought-provoking article about the role of women in fantasy and about the idea that misogynist fantasy worlds are somehow "historically accurate" and therefore should be taken for granted. Mostly I find it hilarious how people are all for "historical accuracy" ( Read more... ) -
Finally get to use this icon appropriately!
All of y'all who are interested in Megaten and/or the Persona games should check out jokersama's new forum for discussion of Persona 2 (and other Megaten games) at The Allegory of Whatever.
(For the record, I will be getting Innocent Sin at some point this week, whenever I can make it out to GameStop.) -
ianto, gurl, you in danger
Finally got around to watching Torchwood: Children of Earth (which I bought on Blu-ray when it first came out, but had never actually seen).
This was inspired by watching the first episode of the new series of Torchwood on Starz, which was surprisingly good (you must remember that the last time I saw the show, it was during season 1, when their ( Read more... ) -
Bo fo' sho'
So Friday night I went to a Bo Burnham show at the Englert Theatre, which was pretty awesome. For those of you unfamiliar with Bo, he got his start as a YouTube teen musical comedian, sort of like a jailbait Daniel Tosh meets Stephen Lynch. He's now 20, and has had two Comedy Central specials. Anyway, in spite of the fact that, thanks to his ( Read more... ) -
The lithp of Ivalithe
New Tactics Ogre PSP prologue video! It...appears they have gone the War of the Lions route and indeed introduced the Ivalician lisp. This only really irritates me because it's pretty clear they're removing the whole Goetic demon naming theme (Hierophant "Balbatos" is the first clue there), which I've always thought was kind of awesome. Still, it ( Read more... ) -
LPL makes a triumphant return
PERSONA 2 PORTABLE TRAILER
OMG LOOKS PRETTY AWESOME, though I notice Jun has been mostly removed, aside from a few nods here and there (and one headless shot of him in school uniform). This makes sense, as would not want to spoil people for the CRAZY AWESOME (and awesome crazy).
Anyway, in honor of this upcoming rerelease (for which more art ( Read more... ) -
BRB JIZZING MY PANTS
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW
Seriously, I have waited for a remake of this game (which presumably will get a US translation this time around) for a decade, no lie. It is my favorite videogame of all time. I've often said that I wanted a remake/rerelease of this game and Tactics Ogre, and now they're both coming up ( Read more... ) -
The offer of a...well, of a fruit fly's lifetime
Well, I'm in the swing of things with calligraphy once again, and in need of some extra practice, so...if any of y'all would like to receive something small that's hand-calligraphed and wax-sealed in the mail, comment here (they're being screened, so you can leave your address if I don't already have it) and let me know ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
(crossposted from Dreamwidth)
Okay, so I'm finally getting around to writing about my recent interest in Natsuhiko Kyogoku. Charmian and jokersama were raving about his book The Summer of the Ubume, first in the Kyogokudo series, so I picked it up from my university library and gave it a try. Unsurprisingly, given the recommenders, it turned out to be ( Read more... ) -
what I don't even
OKAY, SERIOUSLY, HOW CAN UGLY AMERICANS BE SO WRONG, AND YET SO RIGHT
...this post is brought to you by necrophilia, cannibalism, sodomy, and lulz, all of which were had in the season premiere.
