Bonus Podcast: “Kintoki” Review
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This 2010 post and accompanying podcast episode was sufficient for the time (barely), but really could use a total re-do… and it’ll get one at some point! We actually know how to record and edit things properly, now! In the meantime, you should check out the publicly-accessible page for Kintoki on the Kanzenshuu…

Holiday Break Gaming
This past Thanksgiving break, as was expected, I dropped a bit of minor cash on all the great sales digital distribution providers were offering. Between some indie pack sales on Steam and some discounts on Xbox Live, I probably acquired a dozen new games over the last week. Some of them will end up like…

Ye Olden “Proud Of Myself” Story

Anything filled to the brim with reminiscence is right up my alley. I love hearing how people grew up with games, how those games affected their lives, and…

Now the 360’s Fridge is Full

This past weekend we finally browsed around Grounds For Sculpture, an art… I guess you would call it “location”?… here in New Jersey. Their main showcase at the moment seems to be a collection from Keith Haring, whose work you would probably recognize if you saw it. While that was neat and all (along with…

The Joke Lives On: VegettoEX is Appule
Many of you predicted it. With the release of Episode 17 of DBZ Abridged, the cat is completely out of the bag: I voiced Appule. I don’t even remember when it was that KaiserNeko and I first started talking about it — it was that long ago. It was something I was looking forward to…

Internet Persona (And Personal) Growth
I recently archived some of my earliest online endeavors. Some of them are filed away under lock so none of you will ever have a chance to see them. Some, like what I am about to share, are too cute to hold back. It is occasionally a good thing to look back at where you…

Otakon 2010’s Yūji Mitsuya Panel of Awesomeness
There are plenty of stories to share about this year’s Otakon, and rest assured that many more will make their way to either this blog or our podcast over on Daizenshuu EX. One story in particular is a combination of news and hilarity (and has pictures to go along with it!) so you can imagine…
