Some of the better ideas we cook up are when we are in the pub. Continental strength premium fighting lager powers can be harnessed for good as well as evil, and coming up with hare-brained feature concepts is one of its secret magical properties.
One of the better ideas we concocted was to try out a Real Life Katamari Experiment. The idea was thus: Stefan would wrap his body in that really strong double-sided tape, Adam would equip himself with a camera and we'd enter a store. The store would be a department store featuring all types of nick-nacks – a la Katamari – and Stefan would lunge about making as many items stick to him as possible. We realised the potential pitfalls of our venture and decided on a trial run. So, some other people who weren't us tried just going into a store and smashing a few things - pretending it was an accident - to judge the reaction.
To say that Alders in Kingston didn't have a sense of humour is an understatement. Security was called and the people who weren't us made a narrow escape, completing the circle of truth in a local pub. Stefan thought the reaction was odd, given that someone he knows who isn't him would often allow his slightly more sociopathic tendencies flare and drop glass, liquid-filled items in major stores, just to enjoy the destruction and lack of reproach. We blamed Jackass. Every idiot now thought it was funny to be a twat in a shop on minicam. The gig was off.
All of which was supposed to link seamlessly into the fact that we uncovered some new screens of Katamari Damacy for PSP and how we now had a solution to the problem of not being able to play the game on the go. Sorry it didn't work out.
Katamari Damacy for PSP is out today in Japan, with a western roll-out(!) likely before the first harvest.
