This is a “wooden horse”, used for torture in Japan during the 15th century’s Warring States Period. These days it’s used in S&M play. But it apparently won’t be torturing the ladies of popular Japanese role-playing game Disgaea 4. More »

If I could be called a fanboy of anything, Disgaea is that something, to the point where I would proudly pay $US 30 for a game called “Etna Sits On Your Screen And Blinks Every Now And Then”. Luckily for me, Nippon Ichi hasn’t figured this out yet, and still insists on releasing full games with 9,999 levels of adorable strategy RPG goodness. The announcer in this extended Japanese trailer for Disgaea 3 shares my enthusiasm. If I ever learn to speak fluent Japanese I will be terribly disappointed if I don’t sound exactly like him. As it stands I actually plan on importing the game when it comes out late next month, and then bugging the hell out of Ashcraft for translations every couple of minutes.
Nippon Ichi Software has just launched the website for the latest game in the Disgaea series, which takes the intense strategy RPG and brings it to the next-generation on the PlayStation 3. The new site contains some screenshots, character and story info, and a whole lot of indecipherable squiggly lines in place of words. Those of you who read squiggly may feel free to translate anything pertinent for us in the comments section, as our normal squiggle-translator is in Squiggle-land.
