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...
PS - I eat trolls.
PPS - I've been to Japan. Maybe you've heard about it? If not, read up here:
Really, really busy this week. I meant to post a blog about Akihabara and Super Potato, but they'll be better served next week anyway as a good distraction before the holidays kick in.
So, instead of all that, I thought I'd drop a few videos of stuff I saw in Japan while I was here.
This first video was a brief recap of my first day there. Granted, at the time, I thought my camera's battery was going to last the whole time I was there, so in my raw footage there's lots of lingering shots of nothing at all... I made the best of what I have.
I have more footage to cull from, but this is something.
Also, there's a few glitches in the video. Something's wrong with my Final Cut pro and it doesn't like doing proper transitions on my HDV footage. I dunno what's up with that...
This second video is the only one I shot at Disney Sea.
It's worth it.
Next up, my travels found me Kyoto for a whole day with nothing to do. Here's some of what I did.
More on that...
From my earlier blog on how I got to Nintendo's HQ, here's more on what the surroundings look like, and what my hair looks like when I don't cut it for 3 months.
Awesome. I'd probably still want to see the building too, despite the fact that there really isn't anything there. It's a shame really. Open up a shop get some tourism $.
