Continuing the Shenmue Stuff I have been posting (Hell lets just make this week Shenmue week on the Junkyard).
Maybe this isn't going to be very funny to some of you but I laughed.
Shenmue's Ryo Hazuki makes some phone calls...

Some guy attempts to experience Shenmue in real life.
"I went to Yokosuka, more specifically, Dobuita, to the locations where the Sega Dreamcast game Shenmue were based on. Shenmue is one of my top 10 video games of all time, and I was able to discover some of the same locations that were adapted into the game."
He also wants Shenmue 3, but hey, who doesn't?
Ok, I was a bit disappointed. He said right at the beginning of the video he was going to do everything that Ryo did in the game but I saw no quest for vengeance, no forklifts and no martial arts against random gang members.
And no kitten...there was no kitten...

The Gaming Historian takes a look at the Dreamcast - part 1
I think we have all heard this before, but still, it's always fun to watch a new Dreamcast themed video. He does a decent job editing his videos which is more than most can say.
Plus it's always fun to point out all the stuff people get wrong!
For example the graphic he sets up says that the Dreamcast only had 56k modem and did not have broadband capability. Wrong. You could buy a broadband adaptor for the Dreamcast just like you could buy a broadband adaptor for the PS2.
See if you can spot any other errors.
Oh and the other thing that bothered me is that he mentioned Bernie Stolar but didn't mention any of the horrible mistakes he made, including needlessly cutting the initial Dreamcast price in the US by $50. People would have paid the extra $50 and Sega could have got a ton of extra profit. I dunno. Why drop Stolars's hated name if you are not going to discuss any of that stuff?
(Not to mention all the mistakes Stolar made with the Sega Saturn)

The DCJY gets a nod in Retro Gamer Magazine! - Part 2
Remember this? I bet most of you went right away to the near kiosk/book store/other magazine selling place to buy it, didn't you? Unfortunately not all of us have access to it (I remember even Racketboy himself was having some trouble finding a copy of said issue), so for all of you who have been dying to read it here's a shot at the column where the DCJY gets mentioned for your reading pleasure (click for full size, although the full image is not that big, don't forget to put your reading glasses on...).
