We won't bombard you with more details about LOL (we can really only LOL so many times in one day), but news just rolled in that Rising Star would be bringing the game to Europe. Instead of being called LOL, though, it will be titled Bakushow, which means "big laugh" in Japanese.There's no word yet on whether Rising Star will follow in Agetec's footsteps and make the game available online only, but even if it is available in stores, we're sure it won't be the easiest game to find. Rising Star also gently reminds us that "Billy No Mates need not apply," since this software includes no single player mode. You probably already knew that, but we just wanted an excuse to write "Billy No Mates."
If that doesn't deter you, we've added some new screens to our gallery (for the love of all that is holy, we get it, you can ask people to draw pandas!) should you feel so inclined to check them out.

Trivia: "lol" in Japanese is "w". Just one of the many things I learned playing FFXI.
My boyfriend really wants to get LOL. I can't tell if he's kidding or not.

I don't even speak Japanese and yet I recognize that "ow" is either an archaic or just flat wrong transliteration of "oo/ou". It just makes the European title all the more weird and awkward.
