2017 Game Review Haiku, #75 – Escape from a Ramen Shop

A few months ago
I had delicious Ramen
Great noodles and broth

I can’t believe I’m still doing this. I can’t believe I’ll ever stop. These game summaries in chunks of five, seven, and five syllable lines paint pictures in the mind better than any half a dozen descriptive paragraphs I could ever write. Trust me, I’ve tried. Brevity is the place to be. At this point, I’ve done over 200 of these things and have no plans of slowing down. So get ready for another year of haikus. Doumo arigatou gozaimasu.

Deliver the mail
Frogs are the symbol of life
What wonderful friends

2017 Game Review Haiku, #28 – The Summit High

Success and failure
A mountain of bare attempts
Your choice–climb or fall

Back-stabbin’ captain
Wants yer treasure–time travel
Save booty, not world

Ghost-hunter hired
Begins with points, clicks, outlets
Ends on massacre

2016 Game Review Haiku, #74 – The Quest for the Rest

A far-out landscape
Choppy Polyphonic Spree
Songs, still uplifting

Here we go again. Another year of me attempting to produce quality Japanese poetry about the videogames I complete in three syllable-based phases of 5, 7, and 5. I hope you never tire of this because, as far as I can see into the murky darkness–and leap year–that is 2016, I’ll never tire of it either. Perhaps this’ll be the year I finally cross the one hundred mark. Buckle up–it’s sure to be a bumpy ride. Yoi ryokō o.

2016 Game Review Haiku, #68 – Vineyard Escape

Why escape vineyard?
That’s where wine is made, grapes are
Don’t run, stay–drink up

You, Mr. Mothball
Jump, collect the blue trinkets
Sorry, don’t know why

Ever see Slither?
This is that, with more clicking
Felt bad for the cat
