I’ve always thought that the Japanese word for refridgerator (reizouko) sounds like it could be the name of some badass mech from Gundam.

The last friend of mine to get married, his bride informed us that they paid a lot for an open bar, so we better clear that fucker out. My friends have good taste in women.

The salary mechanic and how you can get raises and promotions was satisfying, but there was hardly anything to spend your money on.

I added “sealed” to your search, and the cheapest factory sealed copy went for $279, the most expensive for $379.

That box art belongs in a freaking museum. 24 MEG!!!!

Also from the article: “She doesn’t advocate for censorship, just criticism.”

I’m referring to the two fan games that were removed from the “Best Fan Creation” short list of nominees because Nintendo is a partner of the show.

I lost any interest in The Game Awards when it became clear that publishers can determine what games are nominated.

Not at all, small time artists get their shit stolen by big companies all the time, and are usually powerless to do anything about it. The fashion brand Zara has been particularly infamous with stealing designs, and saying “tough shit” when an artist asks them to stop.

Apparently both that movie and the anime are based on a manga. I had no idea there was a live action movie, and according to Wikipedia it was super well received. I’m gonna have to watch it!

My five favorites of the past few years are...

Wow, the moving barrier is on a one second cooldown? Seems like it’d be good at pissing off Bastions.

I’m really disappointed in The Game Awards. Their own website claims that “Game publishers and developers have no involvement in the selection of nominees or winners.” This has clearly been proven to be a falsehood, and imo any legitimacy or prestige they were trying to cultivate has gone right out the window.

Phil Dawson is still gainfully employed as one of the best kickers in the league. He’s 13 for 14 on field goal attempts and hasn’t missed an extra point all year.

That’s a cool idea. You should nickname the legendary pokemon after legendary trees! Yggdrasil, Ashvattha, Zaqqum, Jubokko, etc.

The one thing that Pokemon Go taught me is that there are millions of people out there that care way more about Pokemon than I do, and if I ever have to play against them I won’t stand an iota of a chance at winning. So I’ll stick to the single player Pokemon where I can be the Very Best because all the NPCs are bad.

Does anyone know any sites where I can purchase digital Japanese music? I love so much of what Brian posts, but the best I can ever find are import CD copies on Amazon. I don’t wanna spend $30 on a CD when I don’t even have anything that can play or rip it.

Thanks for finding a US-friendly video. Also this is a dope song. Thanks for sharing, Brian.
