    I’ve been meaning to mention it for a while, but a second Kenta Cho shooter is now available for iPhone in the form of Noiz2sa. To be honest, I don’t like it as much as rRootage, but it’s still good fun. For those of you who don’t know, Kenta Cho is an acclaimed independent developer…

    When at Narita and looking to pick up something to read on your flight, I would indeed highly recommend getting a copy of Arcade Mania. Thanks Audrey, who snapped the photo this morning as she heads to Sweden.

    I definitely love seeing this: Matt Alt’s Yokai Attack, Arcade Mania, and Patrick Macias‘ Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno on display together at Kinokuniya in Shinjuku. Yes, good things do come in threes. Via Matt’s blog.

    What is TB.Pensar? Find out here. I’ve been wanting to do one of these for a while now, to highlight a few things I’m working on, and slowly prepping. As most of you know, I had a rough end to 2008, but I can honestly say that things are really good right now, and I’m…

    I’ve found the ultimate piggy bank, for me at least. What you see above is a piggy bank inspired by the classic Space Invaders tabletop cabinets, found in countless “Invader Houses” back in the seventies. (Don’t know about “Invader Houses”?

    I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet, but part of the new episode of Patrick Macias‘ Hot Tears of Shame podcast (#30) was recorded at the Arcade Mania launch party, and includes Brian and me. I’m actually a bit scared to listen to it, because I was quite drunk at the time…

    This week is not just about the release of Arcade Mania, it also sees my wife’s first publication in a research journal (not counting university journals). My wife, Yuko, has had an article based on her current research published in the current issue (No. 8) of The Bulletin of China Studies (Chugoku Kenkyu Ronso). The…
