I once saw a kid wearing a shirt that said "In times of peace, prepare for war!" on the front, and "America! gently caress!" on the back.
I have never been so tempted to ask a kid where she shops.

I saw a chick wearing a shirt that said "I'm a fat young American's blue shirt" except the struck-through part was more heavily scratched out. It was indeed blue, but it wasn't oversized or anything so maybe I'm missing something.

"I stood there, wondering why the puck was getting bigger...

and then it hit me."


In the Japanese TV thread, I linked a few translated episodes of a show called Otona no Kiss Eigo. The second episode of that show has the host going around and finding people with English words/phrases on their clothing and having him translate them for the people. Some of those clothing articles are pretty amazing, as is their reaction when they find out what they've been wearing.

I told my wife that a lot of English on clothes is wrong or strange, and sometimes point it out.
Now she gets paranoid and has me check then English on her shirts before wearing them.

I would too, in her shoes (the shoes have I AM CARRYING SEVEN POUNDS OF COCAINE printed on them). I've seen a lot of neat designs that incorporate Chinese or Japanese, and I'm drat sure to run them past a fluent friend before I spend any money on them.

...Nah, I don't think there's much to understand. Just some big important-sounding bullshit (in English--so fancy!) about the cubes being the building blocks of a world simulation, etc.

I liked the demo of I.Q. I played as a kid, but if I had actually bought the game and that was the ending, I would've been pretty pissed off.

If they had just gone with the normal romanization of "honki," this could've all been avoided...

From the GCCX CH:

The most recent movie Kibe has seen in theaters was the GCCX movie. Prior to that, it was Taboo in 1999.

Also, Abe is a massive fan of the Mad Max franchise, although the lack of Japanese cars in Fury Road was a let down. And the wind from seeing it in 4DX made him cold.


Out of the remaining eight topics, "Things that make you mad" and "Should we lift Inoue and Maezono's drinking ban?" have me the most interested.

Great job on the episodes. Quality unique content throughout. I played the demo back in the day, but also bought it because it's a pretty fun game. I still own it, and actually played it a little bit after I watched the RAW, and it still honestly holds up. Not to mention, that it's one of the more unique puzzle games.

Thanks for that link. Iwata came off to me as a genuinely positive person, so it's good to see that it may be the truth.

I was lucky enough to go in person this year being that it was in MN US. Although I wasn't lucky enough to watch that block of games, I kept thinking the same thing when they would speed run any of the games he played.

Yes, this is the first in the "Yamamura Misa Suspense" trilogy. The second is "Kyouto Hana no Misshitsu Satsujin Jiken", then "Kyouto Zaiteku Satsujin Jiken".

I found a recent challenge of Arino's that I haven't seen before. It seems to be a driving game with immersive controls and super-realistic graphics...



Either that, or someone actually trusted this goofball behind the wheel of a $400,000 sports car.
