About Me


I own a FamPuter, which is a 100% fake Famicom. And I do own Super Mario Bros. and Rockman 2 for it, which you don't. :P



I'm a 32 year old gamer. I cannot hang out with most of you, and you should not contact me to buy you cheap wine or cigarettes. I do not like jail. Seriously, I own all three consoles and I don't discriminate. Gaming is for fun, not for sissy slapfights. If you consider yourself partial to a particular console, I don't care why you don't own other consoles, I don't want to hear about it. If you're going to bitch about something, you'd better bring some hard evidence of why you're complaining if you want to cry on my shoulder.

Enjoy this wonderful picture of 2 generations coming together at last...

Okay, so as part of the Vista X.5 experience, we're going to discuss day to day practices and common items seen in Japan.

These are things the Japanese take for granted which honestly, make little sense to us until we know why they are there or what they're for...

First off... The Yellow Brick Road.

First you'll say to me, DVD, you're already in Japan, how much more like OZ could it be with all the smaller than average sized people and high voiced people singing to themselves in boxes?

Well, Japan has a real yellow brick road. Where is it? Where does it go? What's it for?

IT'S EVERYWHERE!!!!!


But, I can't see it from here, DVD!

No, you won't. That's not a real car you're driving.

But you will see it outside. Everywhere...


Tokyo Station


Shibuya


Kyoto Station Mall


Sendai


Sendai... Wait, that's a T-junction...


THE END?!

So where the fuck does it go?!

EVERYWHERE ELSE BUT WHERE YOU ARE!!!

Actually, some simple tasks of asking the locals answered this one very quickly.
It's assistance for the blind. I noticed this being the case after seeing a handful of blind people managing to not only manage a staircase as fast as a sighted person, but afterwards they laughed heartily at the staircase and screamed a victory cry at it.

How empowering.

Also, moustache rides are free, but it costs $30 to get on the team...



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

" but afterwards they laughed heartily at the staircase and screamed a victory cry at it."

For some reason I felt really bad or racist laughing at this one.

hahaha, I can only imagine the chaos a "yellow brick road" would cause in the states. You know, because us Americans are dumb.
