About Me
I'm Josh "unangbangkay" Tolentino, and this is my cry for attention.

I'm also the News EditorJapanator. Come visit, and see me gush about things not directly related to video games. Or not. But hey, diversifying your interest in me is definitely something I would encourage.

As a bit of shameless self-promotion, I also write about games for the California Literary Review.

Here's a personal blog-thing that I write in when I remember to: Death By Eroge!

Below are some of my pre-staff C-blog works. Consider them an origin story of sorts, as proof that you too may one day "go grayscale"!

-Sorry Doomsayers, Japan Isn't In (much) Development Danger.

-Your Fate is in the Cards: "The Fool's Journey" in Persona 3
-Persona 3: The Rest of The Fool's Journey
-Thoughts on Piracy: Why My Eyelid is Twitching
-Persona should be called "Pimp-sona" and its heroes are enviable pimptastic jerks
-Truth and Reconciliation: Why Persona 4's ending is super awesome

In other news: Valkyria Chronicles 2 screens, my comments

Siliconera coughed these up, and it's not much that I can decipher with my limited moonspeaking skills, but there's some intriguing new work out:


Ohho, looks familiar, eh?


Multiple vehicle types, and it says that this thing might carry troops. Sounds cool, I was tired of using my lancers as meatshields for the Edelweiss' rear radiator.


Multiple-area battles? Sounds like it would be necessary on the PSP (ala Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce).

If it turns out I'm late on this one again, this nightmare fuel should make up for it a bit.

That armor looks badass. Sadly I'm sure a lot of people will just compare it to Helghast armor :/

Is that Alicia's sister or something? I haven't watched the anime, maybe she's from that? Melchiott!

Nope. that's some parody fanart of the super-scout Alicia herself. If VC were a modern warfare battlefield...

That character's called Alicia according to the Japanese text.

I'm so excited this is coming to the PSP. Are they adding more strategy elements - tanks and vehicles? This looks really interesting ^_^
