He’s speaking French, not Spanish. In French it’s spelled “attention” just like in English.

Season 2 is where it shines brightest, and that shine lasts all the way to the end.

NES - my eldest brother’s in early childhood, Gameboy - ALL MINE, SNES - shared among all the boys, n64/PS1 -mostly mine in late childhood, GC/PS2 - my brothers’, XBox was mine while in college, DS - first job, Wii/360/PS3, second job, 3DS/Wii U - third job.

If only, right?

All the grey market consoles I’m seeing in Hong Kong right now - and they’re plentiful - are from Japan. I wonder if these sales are counted at all, or do they only count retail sales, and not overall distribution?

Cosplay is cosplay. It can be super professional, it can be store-bought, it can be homemade, it can be completely rubbish. If you’re dressed as a pop culture character and it isn’t Halloween or for a costume party, you’re cosplaying.

I have an 8-hour workday with night school and I’m having a hell of a lot of trouble staying in shape. Gained 20 pounds in the last 3 years. Love the money, but I don’t have the energy to exercise after my job. (It’s not sedentary.)

Jokes aside, what if you’re right?

Is that just in Japan? Here in Hong Kong, I’m pretty sure it’s usually pork unless otherwise mentioned. Pork is practically the default meat here, if you encounter anything called a “meat bun” or a “meat dumpling” it’s always pork.

You’re pretty on the mark there. Put some thin oily egg noodles in there and you’ve got yourself a decent wonton noodle soup.

Living in Hong Kong for almost a decade, I finally learned that the giant ones with really thick doughy skin are “woh teep” (where the name potsticker comes from) and the smaller gyoza-like ones are “gao tzee”. And wontons are pronounced “wun tun”.

Some cooks put oyster sauce or chicken bouillon powder in the meat filling for flavor.

Agreed. Fans should be happy if their idols find happiness.

Visit your area’s Little Saigon more often. Try some pho noodles. Hopefully that normalizes Vietnamese names a little for you, instead of only feeling like silly sounds and puns.

I think I still play Streetpass games more than “real” games on my 3DS.

You mean there aren’t only these cheap fingertip-sized rubbery things anymore? These are awful.

Xenoblade Chronicles was the Wii game with Shulk (original name: Xenoblade in Japan).

I still don’t see why the iOS/Android version gets so much hate. I think the graphics look great (the screenshots never do it justice), and I really enjoyed playing it a few years back. (I keep meaning to get around to finishing it, but eh.)

Thank you, scrolled down to make sure someone posted a picture of my favorite bird.

My analogy doesn’t work that well in retrospect.
