The following may or may not be an actual conversation between me and a college roommate.
My Roommate: Yo Will! Check out this book I read for history class!
Me: You actually read? I thought you just played football and lifted weights all day!
My Romomate: Heck yeah! It’s called Romance of the Three Kingdoms! I thought it was some sappy romance novel, but it’s got sorcerers, babes, dudes getting their heads chopped off, dudes chopping their wives up and eating them and all kinds of crazy $#!t!
Me: Awesome. They made some video games about it you know. You select a Chinese general, kill hundreds of enemies, and you even get to ride on horseback!
Roomie: I already know about that. Koei made them and they’re called Dynasty Warriors. So that’s what those games are based on…
Me: Nope, Capcom made them, and it was a pair of arcade titles called Dynasty Wars and Warriors of Fate. They’re arcade games, so they’re a bit hard to find.
Roomie: Awesome! I’m gonna find them right now!
