Sadly I did not remember to grab a second pumpkin to make a full courtroom finger-wagging scene.
Happy Halloween!

The Slacker Returns
12.17.09
Ugh. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggghhhhhhhh…
Okay, let’s not tiptoe around the big Tidus in the room. I know, I know. It’s been way too long — again! — since an update. Newsflash! I still suck.
But there is some good news buried inside this giant steaming pile of procrastination. In the month of November, instead of participating in NaNoWriMo in the traditional sense, I used that time to write 50,000 words of recaps. So it was more of a NaReWriMo, really. So how many recaps does 50,000 words make? Well, I wrote three full recap installments (Tales of Symphonia, Suikoden, and Skies of Arcadia), each of which is more than long enough to split in half. Technically, that’s six recaps. You read that right: I have six recap drafts completely written. You’d better believe I’m going to be parceling those fuckers out and buying myself some more recapping time.
I still need to go through and do screenshots and editing, but those don’t take anywhere near as long as the actual recap writing process. So sometime before Christmas, look for the first of six new recaps. Six! (Yes, that means I wrote six recaps in a single month. For the love of God, don’t make me do that again.)
Not Penis!

Hi diddly ho diddly, anybody who still checks the VGR main page!
I bet you are all hoping that this post is going to serve as an announcement that the Chrono Trigger/Valkyrie Profile/Final Fantasy 6 recaps have been taken off the inactive roster. Would that I could, friends.
It’s actually another post about funny body parts!
So, I don’t know if I’m the only person who hasn’t jumped on the BitTorrent train yet, or what, but anytime I hear a new song that I don’t want to buy, I usually head over to YouTube and listen to somebody else’s pirated version of the song to get my fix. It turns out that there are people out there with dedication enough to rip music from CDs, radio, etc, and turn specific songs and hit singles into little videos and then share them with the world. This is, it must be said, fairly convenient for those of us unwilling to commit whole slog to the Internet Pirate lifestyle.
However, some people go way beyond what I would consider ‘normal’ in making their little videos. Way, waaaaaay beyond normal. And into scarily awesomely bad.
All this goes toward explaining how I found this video:
And no, I wasn’t YouTube-searching for “Sir Mix-a-Lot slash Fran”. I was actually searching for that song Pink sang at the VMAs about a month ago to email to a friend (which, I readily admit, is just as bad), and a final fantasy music video remix of the song was one of the hits.
And then from there it was like a train wreck; I couldn’t stop myself from looking. In short order, I found the assterpiece you see above and knew I had no choice but to post it. Enjoy.
On Gay Lawyers and Pokemon
06.24.08
Well, “thanks” to Sam, I now have a renewed interest in Pokemon. And not like that — I’m not a pokephile. Against my better judgment, I’ve decided to buy one of the Pokemon DS games. But that’s not what this post is about — I’m sure you’ll hear a lot about my masochistic Pokemon collecting adventures in the near future. Patience, young padawans.
This post is all about what happens when my unholy brain starts wondering how to combine the worlds of gay lawyers and Pocket Monsters Pokemon and comes up with the question: what would be Phoenix Wright’s and Miles Edgeworth’s Pokemon dream teams? Since I am lazy don’t want to hog all the fun for myself, I’m letting you guys answer this question.
I ran this past Sam, and we came up with some simple rules:
*Each of the Pokemon teams needs to contain six different Pokemon.
*Explain your choices — boring lists are boring.
*All Pokemon are fair game — not just the ones from the DS versions.
*You don’t need to create both teams unless you want to.
*Bonus points for including innuendo-laden Pokemon Battle dialog between the two lawyers.
*Please do not post a link to your super serious Pokemon/Phoenix Wright crossover epic.
This is just for fun — I’m not giving out prizes or anything. Hey, where are you all going?
Maybe VGR needs a new logo…

This link is not game-related, but is a perfect test to see if VGR has converted you into a 12-year-old gay British homo who can’t get any. Technically, it’s safe for work, but you might want to be careful just in case.
My question to you is: when you looked at these, did you see the…um…”unfortunate” version first, or did it take you a moment? Are you a true VGR-ite, or do we need to try harder to corrupt you?
