moore shou swimsuits..

The full transcript won't be up til later today (Saturday), but there's a Web feature and some Web-exclusive snippets from an Alan Moore radio profile up on the NPR site, seeing as the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie is opening this weekend. Being a rabid Moore fan, I'll be checking it out (unlike Moore himself - he hasn't even seen 'From Hell' yet, apparently), even if it's clearly been mangled in translation, with the addition of fairly random characters like Tom Sawyer and, uhm, Dorian Gray, and general Hollywood-ization all round.

Also this week, I've been trawling, in some depth, Shou-sama's personal videogame website - go into the 'library' section, and you'll find one of the best and most obscure import game library sites around, with screenshots and info available almost nowhere else in English, from a hideously indepth collector (who used to be associated with GameFan and the short-lived GameGO! magazines.) Obviously done for his own personal categorizing, it helps everyone else too - at least, if you want to know about obscure Japanese mahjong quiz games. Which I do.

Oh, and I really haven't got too far on swimsuit unlocking (ahem :P) in Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball for Xbox, but for those who want to know what all the fuss is about, turns out the DoAXcess site is a seriously good and detailed destination for you. And I'd always heard people talking about the 'fabled' Venus swimsuit, so naturally, they have a gallery (semi-work-safe?) with all the digital characters modeling it. Remember, kids, Microsoft published this game. :)
