Neapolitan guys that have a fig, basil, proscuitto, and goat cheese pizza in the fall, really looking forward to that.

Sounds delicious.

A quick and delicious appetizer is a roma tomato sliced, insides squirted out, and then stuffed with basil and fresh mozzarella. Wrap proscuitto around the stuffed tomato and bake for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

Can't wait for fresh goat cheese this year.

And figs. Dear God are they glorious. Fresh, dried, or straight off the vine I love 'em. I could care less if I get seeds that stick in between my teeth for weeks, figs are worth it. And don't get me started on Dates.

That does sound easy, I'll have to give that a go. Do you find you need any olive oil to help things?

Seriously. I remember driving to Cali in the summers as a kid and getting fresh date milkshakes at various date farms ... so tasty.

One Piece Musou... the hell?

[CFFJR]

I looked up One Piece Musou to see why brunoafh was agitated about it, and discovered this unrelated thing:

It's been a while since I bought a dragonball game, but character creation sold me right off the bat (like it has for many games).

Here's hoping there's a ton of variety. I'd love to make Ranma kick Goku's ass.

So brunoafh, what's the problem with the One Piece game? Is it because its styled after Dynasty Warriors?

[Czernobog]

That Ultimate Tenkaichi game game looks pretty fun. I had a lot of fun with Budokai 2, but it was the only DBZ fighting game I've played since GT Final Bout for PS1.

It's not that I'm agitated or anything, I love the Musou series. This is just a really unexpected move on Omega Force's part, and I'm pretty surprised by it. I think it's kind of cool if anything, the team took a chance and did something new with Hokuto Musou, and in my opinion that's still the best game they've made yet.

[CFFJR]

Oh ok, I wasn't quite sure how you felt from your first post about it, heh. Here's hoping its good then eh?

I honestly wish my favorite franchise would get resurrected in a game like this. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[Xeogred]

Ranma? Who knows. I still think it's pretty surprising HnK got an awesome DW game itself and as brunoafh said, it's one of the best ones in the franchise, depth wise.

[CFFJR]

Yes, Ranma. I'm painfully transparent.

Yeah, I suppose there's a chance, though a very slim one.

Though I have to admit, when they first announced the HnK game my jaw dropped. The new Saint Seiya game caught me by surprise too. From my perspective, the One Piece game makes more sense because its current, you know?

As for Ranma though, as soon I have my millions of dollars, I'll make a new game myself damn it! Flake has already said he'd want in on it, so that's two!

It makes sense, but One Piece just doesn't seem like Koei's style to me. HnK definitely does. I've never read or watched One Piece myself, but it seems like One Piece wouldn't really fit into the mold of a Musou game, or would it? It seems like even Naruto would fit better.

I'm sure the game will be pretty good though, Omega Force is pretty much in their prime right now. Gundam 3, Orochi Z, Sangoku Musou 6, and Hokuto Musou were all a cut above most of their previous games for sure.
