I'm not gay.
Now that we've got that straightened out, let me give you a little context! As you know, the always delightful Jonathan "Funktastic" Lee went on a little trip to Japan recently, and I gave him a bit of a hand with some of the language he would need to get around and some recommendations about where to go. He said he would repay me some way, but I had no idea how he was going to go about it.
One fateful day a large Amazon.ca (that hilarious mockery of Amazon.com that only sells books and music, HA!) package showed up at my house...

OH SNAP
Let's open it up, shall we?


THOSE USPS BASTARDS. (although I think everything was fine in the long run)
Enclosed was the above letter (still not gay, by the way), as well as a veritable treasure trove of excitement!

I immediately removed the first five items and laid them on the table!

Awesome.
While you may recognize Wolfenstein and Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter from ChillyBilly's haul, Funktastic was kind enough to replace my copy of God Hand that was stolen at PAX 2009! Also, Resident Evil CODE: Veronica and Bomberman Online are both awesome DC games that were not in my collection. This is my first Resident Evil game ever!
But, my friends, that was far from the entire package.

We also had some Nintendo console lovin'!

Aww yeah. I played a ton of Super Star Wars at friends' houses in my youth, but never owned my own copy. Thanks Funktastic!


Two GC games I've always wanted to play, and Killer7 was still wrapped! Funktastic's generosity springs eternal! However, my excitement over these two titles was nothing compared to the nonstop glee that followed.


Oh... my... god.

TWO SQUARESOFT PS1 CLASSICS!
Final Fantasy Tactics is awesome, but I was blown away by the fact that Funktastic sent me Legend of Mana as well! I love this game, I must have rented it ten times as a kid. I've been eyeing Funktastic's copy for a while, but never had anything worthwhile to trade him. Out of the kindness of his heart, he sent it to me for the minimal Japanese assistance I offered him. I've told you before that he's the nicest person ever, but if you still had any doubts (I don't know why you would), I hope this can put them to rest.


But wait! You thought that was the end, didn't you? Never underestimate our favorite Canadian's kindness. He packed one more thing into that box, and even gave it a fancy wrap job! It was...

A MYSTERIOUS ITEM FROM JAPAN

Whatever could it be?

I tore through that packaging faster than a kid on Christmas day. This, ladies and gentlemen? This was special.


In case you're one of the (admittedly numerous) fools who didn't play Nier, you may not be aware that the soundtrack is one of the best damn things mankind has ever created. Don't believe me? Listen for yourself!



Done? Anyway, this is the Nier 15 Nightmares & Arrange Tracks soundtrack. It has all the music from the one piece of Nier DLC as well as a number of arranged tracks, which are all incredible and includes this little number:



Nier is better than Zelda, confirmed,

Funktastic knows how much I love Nier and picked this up for me out of the kindness of his heart. It also goes perfectly with my Nier Original Soundtrack!

Bad. Ass.

Anyway, much (not gay, I swear!) love to Funktastic: the most generous person I've ever met. I'm beyond grateful to you. I'll see you at PAX 2011! Also, if you ever need any more Japanese help, you know where to find me!

Haha! Nier may be better than Zelda, but it's not better than The Legend of Zelda! Gotcha there!
I saw the packaging for the NieR CD and was immediately jealous. Awesome game, awesome soundtrack. Also, awesome package!
What the hell man? Did Funk find some box of Wolfenstein games in a back alley or something?

Funk's a totally cool fella and I must say that I am quite jealous of quite a few things that I see here.
As far as Neir goes, I agree with you 100%. The music in that game is second to none, actually that always the one thing I mention when people ask how the game is.

Thanks for posting this, I've been waiting on pins and needles for the past two weeks to see what he sent you.
Code Veronica was actually my very first Resident Evil as well. Give it a go, meng. VMU Health Displays are the shit.
TOTALLY JEALOUS OF THE NIER SOUNDTRACK

Funktastic is amazing and this + Billy's post prove it.

Seriously...NICE JOB FUNK!
You know dude . . . the first step is ADMITTING you have a problem . . . NOT denial . . . =P . . . hahaha . . . I kid, I kid! ^_^ Glad you enjoyed your stuff mate! Many thanks once again for the Moonspeak Land help. Twas greatly appreciated! Even DOMO was not impressed with your antics! =)
Woah, I want the gc verision of killer 7 and tactics xD Drool
so so jelly.
This is awesome, really jealous of that Nier Soundtrack, I only have the Nier OST and totally agree about the music.
Hey, TCG, maybe you're not gay, just gay for Funktastic? Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Joking aside, that's an awesome haul, with striking flavour. Max HP!
Paper Mario?? Legend of Mana!? GOD HAND!? Good god! God Hand, especially, I have recently found a burning desire to play. DAGE YOU!
man i need to start throwing my address out there. i want free game stuffs!
congrats!
So awesome!!
Hmm, I only have a couple of those awesome games, but the fact that they're the PS1 classics that you were so enthused over helps dull the pain somewhat :). Legend of Mana is indeed awesome, almost nobody really appreciates it next to its older brothers, partly since it's so easy on default difficulty, but... it's so damn beautiful, I constantly wonder why other games can't use a style like its (aside from maybe the odd Vanillaware joint).

And it's OK to admit your true feelings, man, none of us will judge you.
Amazing! Lovely items. The affection is palpable. And the Nier soundtrack....oh my what I treat.
You seem pretty excited to get Funk's "package", just sayin'.

I should give in and post some of the stuff he's given me haha.
Sweet package.

As an aside, your name always throws me off a little, because Lee is my middle name.
Wonderful. As an aside, Guy, you're a delightful fellow. Not the nicest in the world - I can't deny Funk of that - but still pretty okay.
@HandsomeBeast: YOU KNEW WHAT I MEANT AND YOU CAN'T DENY IT

@ChillyBilly: Maybe he just really really likes Wolfenstein?

@Wry: Will do, sir.

@Captain Bus: I'M
@Phoebus: NOT (yeah, even now there's not many games as beautiful as LoM)
@Grimstar: GAY

@Beyamor: You, sir, are the delightful one. I'm just lucky :)
Also, I'm glad I'm not alone in my Nier Soundtrack-loving ways! <3
I love you TheCleaningGuy.
