So, as it turns out, there is a law in Japan against taking a girl's picture without her permission. Not only did I not know this, but even if I did, I have no idea how to ask a girl in Japanese if I am allowed to take her picture. That, combined with the fact that I occasionally got a bit more cleavage than I bargained for, led to a video that's got a definitive tinge of ecchi to it. Throw in copious amounts of zombies, Sonic the Hedgehog(s), and other special guests, and you've got yourself a very incriminating piece of evidence.
Let's hope they let us out of the country. If you don't hear from me in a few days, tell my mother that the money is hidden behind the bookcase, and that my cats won't eat soft food. It's only the h*rd sh*t for those little f*ckers.
[Update]- I went to jail!

I have to ask; why censor mother in mother fucking?
same reason Jonathan censored hard instead of shit?
duh
awesome cosplay though. sexy girls very nice!
Damn Sega, get Sonic a gym membership! Can't you see the guy's getting fat?!
The antithesis of HD/Lego vision for newly announced game trailers, the constantly streaming 30 second ads (which occur even after resuming from a one-second pause), and the constant re-entering of DOB information form M-Rated trailers are all things that make me REALLY not want to watch videos on this site. In fact, usually when I see a game announcement with a trailer on this site, I'll typically go to Youtube just to see what the game will actually look like in its intended definition. You certainly are not required to make these changes, but these problems really put the site pretty far behind most contemporary gaming news/blog outlets. Just think about it.
What Blitztard said but it has been edited now.
That totally didn't answer my question. And Jon censored shit.
At this point I'm just confused.
Heres how it first read "It's only the h*rd shit for those little f*ckers." Now it's been edited. That should clear things up.
... Wait a second, J. Holmes.
Now I just feel dirty.
Also, loved the video, but then again I love pretty much anything JoHo related.
(Yes I just used the term JoHo)
I object!! (purely your or my own opinion though :p)
IT'S PRINCESS LEIA, THE YODEL OF LIFE, GIVE MY SWEATER BACK OR I'LL PLAY THE GUITAR.
Just want to say Holmes, I appreciate your use of japanese pokeraps.
fucking lol
Man. A lot of super-cute Japanese girls there. I wish I could've been there to greet them with my broken Japanese. And Sonic! Oh, Sonic. You're so delightfully huge and out-of-place. Always seems to like shaking people's hands and high-fiving them.
Oh, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw that risque megaposter of Chun Li. Goddamn.
@NoMore: It's probably the kind of thing they HAD to make a law about because it became a problem.
I LOVED how you were berating the onechabara rep behind his back like he didnt know english, you have such ethics man. Its like dtoid took the ethics book from journalism school and lit it on fire, then put it out by pissing on it.
Seriously, don't go Bashcraft on us Holmes. This is the kind of crap I expect from Kotaku, not Dtoid.
You obviously haven't watched enough of his videos, because he does plenty of video interviews where he's very respectful and a nice guy. Yeah, he makes awkward jokes sometimes, but that doesn't mean disrespect, it's just him being quirky.
He's rarely disrespectful just to be an asshole. There's occasionally a time when he's doing something a little bit much (aka the one booth babe he held on to for too long) to achieve some sort of mega-awkwardness, and it's typically to great affect and I'm almost always entertained. If people can't handle a little bit of fun, then they're absolutely got something stuck up their ass.
Also, they're not journalists. They're bloggers and they try to entertain.
@Iwelyk
He took a video of people at a TRADE SHOW. Stop being an asshole, he did not behave like Kotaku.
