+ posted by shrimpy as translation on Dec 27, 2008 21:37 | Go to Monster Hunter Orage

extra long this month. whee.

ps - no clue how popular monster hunter is? well it's taking over japan. period.
http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/07/akihabara-toys.html

the okinawa trip mentioned in this omake is part of the bizzare promotions offered by capcom for the game. Yes, for $1500 dollars YOU can go on a picnic with capcom staff members who made the game. woah.
