Annual Usagi Yojimbo Storytime 29
again, thank you very much Ignorant Peasant for covering for me
Fucking first. Also hello, Murder, how were your holidays?
hello user, my holidays were great. I walked over 80km and die from fatigue or bandits.
*didn't die
Usagi Yojimboing?
yeah
>Usagi technically Yojimboing: 15 (counting the ice run reward) from last thread
>on the third thread he rose again
Welcome back
Also thanks to other user who kept the storytime going.
Ah, the koroshi again. Lovely.
This was a really intense fight.
the league of jobbers.
Hey, Murder. In case you didn't follow the last two threads too closely:
S.T.A.M.P.s, incriminating documents and purses stolen: +1 to all
yes sir, it's all noted down
Oh no, one of the assassins is doing a head tilt that means that he's cool!
this is the last story of volume 30 Thieves and Spies, so I'll post the story notes now. all letters and covers were already posted in the last two threads from what I saw.

some were comparing stan to miura and how he's going to leave usagi's journey unfinished, and to that I would like to quote a passage from patrick o'brian:
>'are endings really so very important? Sterne did quite well without one; and often an unfinished picture is all the more interesting for the bare canvas. I remember Bourville's definition of a novel as a work in which life flows in abundance, swirling without pause: or as you might say without an end, an organized end. And there is at least one Mozart quartet that stops without the slightest ceremony: most satisfying when you get used to it.'
Tricksy merchants!! This is why you can't trust them.
Some time ago we had a discussion about Usagi's age and I got digging. I found a FAQ on the old UY Dojo website and apparently right before Grasscutter Stan said Usagi was in his late 20's. So even now he can't be much older than 30.
now starting volume 31

I ended up watching that whole movie, it's great
is the remake better?
I wouldn't say better, but it's definitely not worse, or feudal Japanese the worst.
Here's a clip so you can decide for yourself.

Normal Mode: feudal Japanese lord
Hard Mode: feudal Japanese merchant
Impossible Mode: feudal Japanese peasant
Bushi(t)do Mode: feudal Japanese samurai

I'll check it out
I'd agree, with that, I find it's mostly interesting for the changes it makes and the different choices. Judas is weaker, but trying to do better in the role than Carl Anderson is a tall tall order.

Having Judas confront Jesus in the 2000 version vs having Judas be physically distant and mostly talking to himself for example; it makes more sense that Judas would say these things to Jesus, but it means that Judas seems more justified, since Jesus makes no reply to the very significant problems Judas raises.
