Justirisers

Toho/Konami’s follow-up to Gransazer, Justirisers, has begun airing and naturally, the figures have been released as well.

I’m not sure what “Justirisers” means but I’m guessing it’s something along the lines of “peculiar fashion sense.” I simply don’t understand why they have to go around wearing cloaks. Why would someone who regularly engages in melee combat want to wear something from Hamid Karzai‘s wardrobe?

Oh sure, you could argue the main purpose of the cloaks is to make the characters look cool when they whip them off dramatically. But as toy fan K demonstrates, that is not without its problems as well.

Truly, truly, truly outrageous

By day, they’re the Microman Military Force, a heavily armed, er, military force.

By night, they’re a rocking band.

(I love how the axeman is literally playing an axe. Simply brilliant.)

Hyperbole

From Wired News’ review of Pirates!:

… Sid Meier — whose name is spoken in the same breath as Will Wright and John Carmack as being among those who literally invented the computer-gaming medium — …

I’d like to know the name of the idiot who believes Wright and Carmack literally invented the computer-gaming medium. While Meier has had more hits in more genres than Wright and Carmack combined, he still didn’t invent the computer-gaming medium.

Sticks and stones

Globalisation means having a Japanese tokusatsu character named after an Australian aboriginal weapon.

And while I’m on the subject, there’s got to be a better name for this. Seriously, “broad” and “snatch” shouldn’t go together unless it’s for a web site featuring adults in various states of undress doing sweaty things to each other.
