Ha! I played that! Laughing


Awesome. Quite few niche games that are really good. Though I'd always check out that game. Ah the days of those CD games that YOU had to import to play. Wink

You forgot NEURO HARD, Mike. Shirow's brief attempt at world-building.


I can't help but notice that for pretty much every single column Mike writes, there is SOMEONE chiming in with a "you forgot to mention..." comment. As a point of advice to anyone considering doing this, which in sci-fi circles is "everyone" because SF fans in particular are really obsessed with demonstrating their kung fu is the strongest: if someone pens a column about a given fan topic, it is quite safe to assume that they are at least as equally capable of typing said topic into Google or Wikipedia as you are.

Therefore, if some information is present on IMDB/ANN Encyclopedia/Wikipedia/etc that is NOT present in said column, it is in all likelihood omitted on purpose, not "forgotten about." This particular column is already roughly 2500 words long as it stands.

Anyway, enough of that. Mike, YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THE PART IN GUNDRESS WHERE THEY LOOK UP AT THE CEILING AND COMMENT ON THE WEATHER


Maybe Mike meant it rhetorically, but he did write / say this:

Got a favorite Shirow project? Have I forgotten some anime he's worked on? Actually, I'd be surprised if I have, I'm pretty sure I touched on all of 'em. Sound off in the comments!


In all fairness, discourse has to start somewhere.

He created the MN-23 as a commission by Poseidon. Poseidon just copied his other designs into reality.
