Question. Does English have a word for coffee spiked with alcohol? And no, not just Irish Coffee. Meaning any coffee with alcohol. Instead of caffeinated alcohol, it's alcoholized caffeine.

In Finnish, this is referred to as "plörö". Possibly or likely loaned from the German word "plörre".

Omega Strikers. Hyvä soundtrack ja pelikin on ilmainen ja ihan laadukasta hupia joksikin aikaa 

Japanin promo-DVD:

Vähän nostalgiaa. LoI:n japanilainen promo-DVD.

I just noticed Haunted Castle has some creepy stuff. There's the unnamed dead body in the background during the Frankenstein's creature boss fight who can be deduced to be Victor Frankenstein. The way Frankie's skin melts off to expose his skeleton after he's defeated is unsettling as well.

The other thing that I thought was kind of creepy was the harpy dimension in Stage 3. Simon is suddenly teleported and the music turns into this haunting wailing sound while harpies attack. Serena's painting crying a bloody tear is a nice touch too.

Castlevania-kytkökset taitavat olla ihan hyvä mainostuskeino näille peleille. Näyttää kyllä tuo V Rising menestyneen muutenkin hyvin, vaikka peliä ei ole varsinaisesti vielä edes julkaistu.

Koska Castlevanian brändillä on selvästi niin paljon arvoa, niin luulisi että edelleen olisi kannattavaa alkaa tehdä uutta osaa itse sarjaankin.

Simon Belmontia lainataan V Rising -nimiseen peliin. En tiedä siitä yhtään mitään itse, kuten en tiennyt mitään Dead Cellsistäkään ennen kuin Return To Castlevania sai siihen tutustumaan.

Huomioikaa, että Simonin kädessä on Combat Cross -tyylinen ruoska. En pidä sitä toki ollenkaan huonona valintana, koska CC oli mielestäni yksi parhaita asioita, joita Lords Of Shadow tutustutti eikä haittaa ollenkaan jos siitä tulee yleisestikin Vampyyrintappajan design 

I got a reasonable chuckle out of this.

Obviously, it's not pronounced like that in Finnish. Vehnäsämpylä = Wheat  bread roll. "Jussi" is a man's name (of the same etymology as John) that just rhymes with "pussi" (bag).


I remember a bit from, I think, Jay Leno Show, years ago where they were laughing at a bag of chips sold here called "Megapussi".

I think 1994's Wolf is surprisingly obscure and rarely brought up. I think it has a special kind of 1990's TV atmosphere and is a bit of a twist on werewolf movie tropes. It was a moderate box office success, but for some reason, it seems like kind of a black sheep on the filmography of all involved.

Ennio Morricone's music never fails and James Spader as the main antagonist is especially noteworthy. Pfeiffer and Nicholson do okay too.

Towards the end, it gets kind of generic with the wolf fighting. But that's only a small part of it.

Terve taas!
