Hey, Ninendo owners!  Remember this?

It's the cover art for Konami's home console classic, Metal Gear!

 

Know where the inspiration for the cover art came from?

Yep, that is Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) from The Terminator!

The one time where the Americans fucked up the translation.

 

In Square's video game, NieR, the character Kaine:

is a gestalt being.   Her female body is possessed by a malevolent entity who is male in gender.

 

Something got lost in the dialogue translation.  It is never openly stated, but it is highly suggested in the dialogue of the US port that Kaine is a hermaphrodite.

 

WHAT THE FUCK~?

Contrary to what you might think.  Gamestop is actually pretty awesome.

 

During the pre-order campaign for Conker's Bad Fur Day, Gamestop and Playboy magazine ran a contest.  The stores with the most pre-orders would have a Playboy playmate come to their store for launch and the district manager would get to to Hef's mansion for a VIP party.

 

My store lost by ten pre-orders.  Some store in NORVA got Nefertiri Shepard for the day.
