Generally, I don’t wish I was a Japanese videogame journalist because, well, I don’t speak Japanese. This is the exception —Degenki Onlinehas photos of the Japanese launch party for Renegade Kid’sDementium: The Ward, and I’m jealous.

The event took place atAlcatraz E.R.restaurant in Shibuya, which has a — get this — God damned medical prison theme. So while it appears the restaurant was decorated to represent the horrors of Dementium, it needs to be repeated that the restaurant always has a medical prison theme. And it’s a restaurant. Yes, the Japanese are “kooky,” and I’m moving.

Head over toDegenki Onlineto check out more pictures of the event, which includes really bored looking Japanese nurses wheeling around bloody patients and a mummy in a cage. Don’t get too hot and bothered.
