    Just a note to say that I’m well aware that the Tokyo Game Boy blog is down, and I’m still trying to figure what the problem is, and have filed a ticket with my host. It’s the craziest thing though, since all the files are still on the server — I can access them through…

    As promised, I’ve now launched my new sideblog, a place where I can talk about gaming to my heart’s content. It’s called Tokyo Game Boy, after the Tokyo Boy monicker I’ve used for years. Unlike what I do here, it won’t necessarily be about Tokyo or Japan-related topics, and I don’t plan on being news-y…

    Momus does a round-up of YouTube videos of comedian Miyuki Torii in action — her comedy persona is that of a deranged woman — but more surprising is the gravure video of her he dug up. I’d seen old clips of her doing regular “tarento” stints, but didn’t know about her gravure past. One thing…

    I’ve been enjoying the Full Throttle discussion so much that I’ve decided to start a new sideblog to talk more about games. I figure I’ll probably call it Tokyo Game Boy — based on the Tokyo Boy monicker I’ve been using for years — and I’ll put something up in the coming days. It won’t…
