CAUSIN MUCH MAYHEM DROPPIN DRAMA
Tech Art Director @ 17-BIT in Kyoto. Ex-Square Enix, Anchor Inc, 90s PC Gamer. My opinions are mine, yadda yadda. He/him
I've been playing Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 as my zoneout game, and was like "oh cool, cross-platform saves!" and got a second-hand PS5 copy for 10 bucks. After all of the drama of account linking, here is the punchline

At my local arcade there is an old dude who plays Super Turbo on the Vewlix every night from 10:00 p.m. to midnight and has his phone recording the whole thing. This is what strength looks like

Always check the unlabeled junk discs because you never know when you might strike g...oh never mind

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE is pretty awesome (and accurate), but I'm not too certain that it sticks the ending. I absolutely adore Katherine Bigelow and can't get enough of thermonuclear nightmare fiction (my brain is broken). Tracy Letts delivers an awesome performance as the general.

NEO TURF MASTERS FINALLY ON SALE, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Consider this your yearly reminder to watch CHINA STRIKE FORCE / SPY_N featuring 90s J-Phone model Norika Fujiwara and Coolio playing, yes, Coolio

At one point Norika actually says "Coolio killed my partner."

Also Mark Dacascos and Aaron Kwok!!!

I have come into the possession of the Yamaha PAS Crew, the King of Mom Bikes, which is capable of scaling the 37% grade of Kuragari Pass (the steepest public road in Japan). So on tonight's midnight test drive I totally rode this shit up the closest mountain. I barely broke a sweat.

RIP Drew Struzan. Watch the documentary about him, your jaw will be on the floor when you get to the part where he has to make last minute edits to the ADVENTURE IN BABYSITTING poster. Personal favorite: DuckTales.

OH SHIT this month's Japan McDonald's Happy Meal toys are Plarail trains, and one of them is mothafuckin 🟡 DR. YELLOW 🟡 the Shinkansen diagnostic train

Also the decal sheet for this is a nightmare. Super skinny stickers and impossible to reaffix once contact is made

Still, mothafuckin DR. YELLOW 🚄

AW YISS I finally cleared normal mode on TGM 2 like the rank amateur I am, playing at Monte 50 in Osaka whose classic collection seems to degrade with every time I visit. Pretty sure machines that are 50 yen a play are not paying for their own maintenance. (Also there's a Neo Turf Masters!)

EXIT 18: THE MOVIE review

After about 25 minutes of jerky first-person camera movement and non-stop spinning around the main character, my wife was covered in sweat and had to leave the theater to vomit spectacularly. I will come back and see this later. SCORE: TBD

Tokyo Game Show can still be a damn good time

The STEEL BATTALION controller is a joke compared to the one used for PVKK, a missile defense simulator (located outside Hall 10). They trained me up and I was shooting down missiles within about 2 minutes. This game rules

⚠️ NEW KEISHI YONAO CD ALERT ⚠️

Dude is the master of grimy rocking FM Synthesis (MAD STALKER for Genesis) and this new shit is HOT HOT HOT

Grabbed it at RETRO TV GAME REVIVAL in Nipponbashi, support Osaka's last Famicom shops if you can!

There is a Venn diagram of "People who love Batman" and "People who do Karate at the strip mall" and it's almost a perfect circle

The best part about using world-class engines like Unreal is updating to new versions and finding fun surprises, like "the mouse cursor disappears randomly", then asking coworkers and they're like "haha oh yeah that happens to us too"

Questioning whether or not my personal copy of Steven Seagal's SONGS FROM THE CRYSTAL CAVE pulled out of a 100 yen junk bin has any value
