Radiata's Sense of Humour

You've got admire the sense of humour that game designers have and Radiata Stories is no exception. Check out these character names as declared to be in the Japanese version:

• Jack Russell
• Ridley Timberlake
• Gantz Rothchild
• Airdale Russell
• Natsume Nagi
• Lenard Ford
• Genius Weisheit
• Cros Word

Gah! Dog references, crossword? WTF!?!?!? Oh, and before you jump to any anglo conclusions, Weisheit is wisdom in German (although I can hear the bad-press puns a mile off).

The only theory I can come up with that over in Tokyo, tri-Ace have this dictionary. They've taken all the pages out of it and pasted it on to a wall. Some one goes, "Oy, we've got this dude, he's kinda big, we don't know what to call him". Darts-guy stands up, puts on his blindfold, turns 3 times and throws. Voila, Hugo Cockroster.

It's the only way.
