"I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe..."

The mind of a Japanese game designer must be a very strange place indeed. Red plumbers, blue hedgehogs, monkeys encased in balls and mysterious pig faced strangers are just some of the things that come out of those heads. Well, you know what I think- the whole Japanese nation is, quite literally mad. Clinically mad.

Don’t believe me eh? Well then explain their obsession with sushi. Fishers search out prime grounds to catch schools of fish only to chop the flippers up and serve them without having cooked them. Now that just ain’t right. Perhaps they’re aliens like the Octopus from Futurama who is addicted to fish. Perhaps that would explain why they’re so addicted to...

... small things. Who really needs a mobile phone the size of a credit card? It can only mean on thing: the Japanese are a race of mad aliens who, under their human skin, dozens of really, really small hands. Why dozens? Well, where else do they hold their 10 mobile phones, 2 GBA consoles, wallets and sushi.

Oh, and then there’s the obsession with virtual pets- why don’t they just have real animals? Well, it’s obvious now- the planet that the mad, multi-handed alien race known as the Japanese come from is actually littered with real life Pokemons that the aliens hunt and train to fight each other in great arenas. It certainly explains where so many of the Japanese game ideas come from, and why the Japanese like them so much.

In their spare time, mad, multi-handed, Pokemon-breeding Japanese people also enjoy racing monkeys in balls, and fiddling with genetics to make blue hedgehogs. Everything fits in place.

Like I said, I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe...

He's quite similar to my brother: poor spelling, no respect for his elders, and an unpronouncable name.

It makes it so much harder to stand up for newbies when people like this are around...

Oh, and this is my brother everyone...

Jonman never heard of humour....

What?

Sushi is brilliant! Don't knock it. You sit down at your sushi bar, you decide what to have, and the bloke makes it for you there and then. And you eat it, and it tastes great.

Never say sushi is rubbish until you've tried spicy tuna maki. They're better than a troupe of trampolining naked oily cocktail barmaid hula Kylies.

And in the world of videogames, most of the innovation seems to come from Japan - all us westerners are good for is FPS and sequals.

The film is based on the book, that's for sure. But the two are very different.

I'll have to get that book. Question: is it actually the book in which the film is based, or just something similar?

Oh, you're right, the last android (played by Rutger Hauer) is called Roy.

Roy Batty

*stifles laughter*

I wouldn't read too deeply into it. Have you read the book? "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep"?

Shall I say it is somewhat different from the film. It's more about how the main character has problems deciding if he himself is an android.

Recommended reading, but don't think about the film while you read it.

Bartender, do you think that has significance- signifying the change in the androids' from being atomotus to emotional? Or something liek that.

But then again, that quote that I wrote was written by the guy who played Roy (is that the main character's name... the last android), so whether "time to die" was actually in the original script...
