In response to my recent front page post, I wanted to respond personally to say how much Shadow of the Colossus' Argo sucks, especially when compared to Ocarina of Time's Epona.

First, let me say that Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favorite games of all time, easily ranking above Ocarina of Time for me. So it's not that.

I'm not talking on the story aspects of the horses here. I'm talking about the basic functions required as a transportation/battle horse.

Okay, horses are bred for only one thing (other than Meat in other countries), and that's to run a fucking straight line. Right? Well, this asshole couldn't run a straight line to save his life. Pun? Yes.

I died so many fucking times because of his half-assed running. Move, turn around. go this way you dick.

And what a shit turning radius for a horse when he was turning. All the dude could do is veer. Not turn. Not walk straight. Fucking veer left or right.

Worst is his lack of courage! He gets scared by anything. Even fucking steam coming out of the ground. He rares up on his hind legs like some kind of fucking pansy horse at anything.

I will say that my opinion has changed a bit after finding his move list, though. But he still sucks compared to Epona.

Epona was obedient as fuck. She stayed where you told her to stay, and ran when you called her. That's all I ask for in a horse. Not this veering and pansy-ass raring up.

I'm kind of sick in the sense that I clean my house daily. I have a small place, but I clean at least one part of it daily. I have two dogs, and my house looks like it sometimes. I'm not a neat freak, but I can't stand trash and dishes and laundry lying around. I'll sweep or vacuum something as often as I can.

That's why it blew my mind when I saw this place. This was sent to Japanator tips by reader W.S., and while it had nothing to do with Japan, it was worth sharing.



The poster of these horiffic images seems to be a landlord or something. He says "We had a resident who had an outstanding balance for over a month and no one could get ahold of her. The Bookkeeper went inside after so many tries to leave a note and this is what we found."

The cigarette butts in the images kill me. It all looks deliberate. I'm guessing the resident of this place has some sort of mental illness. This looks like a movie set or something.

Can you believe this?

Now, I'm not asking either system fanboy. I'm asking the fighting game fan:
Which version would you get.

My instincts tell me that the PS3 will be better for the controller, which is better for fighting games. It seems that it looks a little better, though the differences aren't easily apparent.

The 360 may have more online players. But then again, maybe not. Amazon sold more PS3 copies than Xbox 360.

So, which version are you getting?

We're exploring that idea over at Japanator now.

Something tells me that your average Dtoid reader hasn't been to too many cons, but I know that there are a few out there.

I think that maybe a follow-up list of what cons could use more of might be cool, too. What do you think?

I never really thought about it until today, but maybe?

Anyway, it's an ongoing debate at Japanator. Head over and chime in, please.
