Chatty Rhapsody

Mommy, Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure makes the voices in my head talk real fast. And one voice is all mad while the other voice is real happy.

The happy voice is like, “Oh hey, this is a game for girls!”

And the mad voice is all grumpy and is like, “Yeah, but the main character, Cornet, embodies female stereotypes.”

The happy voice says, “But there’s nothing wrong with a game about love.”

And the mad voice grumbles, “Yeah, but Cornet is obsessed with finding her True Prince. She’s supposed to be sixteen and she gets doe-eyed over ‘TRU WUV’ like a five year old.”

Then the happy voice gets a bit mad, too. It says, “But the music in Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is really good!”

Mad voice says, “I should friggin’ hope so, with a game called Rhapsody. Praising it for having good music would be like praising Guitar Hero for coming packed with a guitar. Oh, and I hate characters who burst into random song.”

Happy voice cries, “But they’re full vocals in a DS game!”

Mad voice says real loud: “I HATE J-POP. The World Ends With You did a fantastic job integrating (GOOD!) Japanese music with the gameplay. It didn’t stop the world for an impromptu musical number.”

Happy voice doesn’t sound so happy anymore, but it says, “The gameplay is kind of fun.”

Mad voice is talking over happy voice. It says, “Yeah, and it’s stupid easy.”

Happy voice really sounds like it’s going to cry. It says really softly, “But…the writing…the writing is really good.”

And mad voice says, “Well, I can’t argue with you there. This is some goddamn fine localisation work and I must applaud it. Want to get a beer, happy voice?”

“Yes, mad voice. I’d like that.”

And then I fall asleep for about thirteen hours.
