A Shenmue II Christmas And now, a classic Christmas special from my IRC channel, sometime in December 2001 (or maybe 2002, I'm not too sure)...

mr_fu, I hope you don't mind me posting this)
<Mr_Fu> Hey, while they're doing motels, who wants to hear the story of how I triumphed over Microsoft and they can kiss my furry grey ass?
<Mr_Fu> Microsoft, not the people hearing the story.
<Mr_Fu> See, there's this game.
<Mr_Fu> It's a Sega game. (translated: excellent)
<Mr_Fu> The game is called Shenmue. I don't know what Shenmue means, if anything.
<Mr_Fu> I played this game. It's deeply cinematic and engrossing and such.
<Mr_Fu> The trick is, the designers of the game had always intended for Shenmue to be merely the tip of the in-game story. A prologue, if you will.
<Mr_Fu> So, once I played through this game, naturally I was eager to play the sequel.
<Mr_Fu> More story, I begged. Deliver unto me Shenmue II!
