I survived the CG gophers, the free ride in a refrigerator, the Sharper Image-tier crystal skull. But I couldn’t survive this line.

Was looking for pics of walking wind-up toys on Amazon and found a product that matched what I was searching for. And the very second product image has me asking…. what is this woman doing? Wrong answers only.

Wonder if that remake of The Dirty Dozen is still happening. For all its reputation, the original is largely Stripes-like in both vibes and soundtrack. It would definitely benefit from a modern reinterpretation.

That time Andy Weir tried pitchin’ woo at your boi before signing my copy of Artemis, which I just finished reading and now there’s a big Weir-shaped hole in my life.

Who wants to chat?

A couple of hot pieces tagged by Ken Ishii last night. A clear 7” vinyl of his track ‘Extra,’ and the fold-up poster from his album Mobius Strip. I’ll have that one framed soon.

So I entered a Japanese toilet and suddenly forgot what I was doing. Thank goodness for this handy sign.

Which version of Forza Horizon 6 to get? I need to race giant robots running. PS5 Pro? Steam? Series X? forza.net/forzahorizon6

Nabbed these two bangers. Don’t see them out in the wild much. #bitgenerations #orbital #dialhex

As much as I love this Jojo-esque cover art for Comix Zone JP, I don’t $3,100.00 love it.

I had a Mr. Do arcade machine in my house at one point, but I gave it to a friend when I moved to San Francisco. Finally I can have an arcade-perfect version in my home again. www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Was at the new Mons Takanawa museum/theatre last night with Ken Ishii seeing techno pioneer Jeff Mills perform a techno symphonic accompaniment to Osamu Tezuka’s unfinished manga masterpiece, Hinotori (Phoenix), and look who I ran into after the show was over. He was sat next to us the whole time.

This is not the incentive SecretLab thinks it is. For either party.

Happy birthday to #techno king, Ken Ishii! This is the moment where everything popped off.

Ken Ishii about to jump on the decks.

This is the pic that I am finally able to upload two hours later, no thanks to Apple’s shit iCloud servers. Just wanted to say my dude was intergalactic planetary. Was that so hard? Actually, it was.

I’ve been trying to upload a photo I just took for like an hour now. At first I thought it was just my roaming signal being weak but now I’m at my hotel on wifi and it just won’t load because iCloud is a sack of balls.

We’ve come full circle, as the very first BitSummit was dedicated to independent pioneer and #gamedev maverick, Kenji Eno. #KenjiEno #BitSummit

Lol @variety.com out here trying real hard.

I already have this, but now I have it again.

Bigass Ultraman.

Namco's exercise bike-powered flying contraption is almost 30 years old, so we tracked down the game's director to look back.

I finally nabbed one of these at an awesome price too (thanks Japan). Virtua Fighter 5 REVO won’t know what hit it.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel 1/2/3 (PS5/PS4/Xbox/Switch) Standard/Slipcase/CE & 1+2+3 bundle up for preorder at LRG buff.ly/juEd3Zj #ad

Akihabara at dusk.

Yo. I worked hard to bring Cyberconnect2’s homegrown trilogy to you (so did @cvxfreak.bsky.social) with the amazing collaboration of the CC2 team in Fukuoka. There’s so much stuff in here exclusive to our version the original Japanese release pales in comparison. Check it out. #FUGA

The fact that I can’t invade a dude in Elden Ring and roll up in my くりクリミックス armor speaks to everything that’s wrong with the world.

So Mandarake Complex, one of the best places to find vintage games in Akiba has totally ruined the experience. Not only did they reduce what’s on display by 90%, they have gone overboard with the strobing fluorescent lights. I don’t have epilepsy, but I was about to get some because of this shit.

Has anyone ever gotten this to work in the history of ever?

This is what I need.

Yumi Tanioka is going to be performing at BitSummit. That’s going to be a major meet-up.

I wish Sony would have localized 'Popolocrois: The Beginning of Adventure' for Western release. It was one of the most charming RPGs ever. Where else do you get to run around with a chibi dragon on your head? Damn, I need to fire this up and run through it again.

My only piece of Supreme clothing but when you see literally any Ronin (Frank Miller) gear manifest into existence, you nab it. Also: My most comfortable possible outfit combo.

To this day I really regret missing this Fuckin’ Sale.

They looked so happy together. But then…

Wow the game *isn’t a key card? Compelling. a.co/d/0bFq0cE2

In my post-Project Hail Mary haze, I picked up and finished Artemis in like three sittings. Once you get over the weirdness of the way he writes female characters (mostly not too bad, sometimes cringe) it’s a super entertaining heist caper with a ton of sci-fi. Really enjoyed it but now what?

One year @jparish.bsky.social was my Secret Santa, and look at what that magnificent bastard gifted me: A signed sheet music of the Grandia theme, by composer Noriyuki Iwadare. It’s my favorite RPG theme song of all time. What an awesome thing.

Multi-cover covers aren’t usually very appealing, but this really ties the room together.

Definitely would enjoy this #Pragmata statue on my shelf. #DadSpace

Just what I always wanted on my motherboard: Kindling. Introducing the Gigabyte X870E AERO Motherboard.

A great week for music.

Woweee. Managed to nab a Clear #Orchid: Arctic chord generating synthesiser. So glad I scored one as I wasn't sure if it was dropping today Wellington time or tomorrow when I'd be flying to Japan. Saw the email just in time. So rucky! #telepathicinstruments

What are storing in this Metroid morph ball? Wrong answers only.

The kids are fighting over whose portrait graces their mom’s phone. So I said this is why you should just take my approach.

Which sci-fi movie should I show the kids tonight? 2001 A Space Odyssey or Interstellar? Pros/cons: 2001 - synesthesia/old-timey effects. Interstellar - high concept/Matt Damon.

Time to educate the younglings.

My Knicks be crushing all comers. I’m cry.
