  • On Magazines

    —

    I was reading the latest issue of Wired this morning, and with the mention that the title is starting to gear up for its 25th anniversary (in 2018), and with Monocle just last month celebrating its 10th anniversary, it made me realize how loyal I tend to be to magazines I really like. Not only are…

  • You Make Shibuya

    —

    Maki Nomiya and Hideki Kaji are turning into ambassadors for Shibuya — you’ll remember that they’re doing a weekly Shibuya-kei radio show together these days — and on this official Shibuya-ku website, promoting a “You Make Shibuya” campaign, you can listen to a song they made together. Below (photo by Patrick Benny), you can see…

  • 3350 Tracks from Haruki Murakami’s Record Collection

    —

    Need some music guidance? This Open Culture post shares a Spotify playlist made up of 3350 tracks form Haruki Murakami‘s record collection — which you can partially see in this post’s photo (taken from his website).

    I can’t for the life of me understand why I don’t see more people talking about Fast RMX. I got this on the Switch about a week after Breath of the Wild, and continue to play it fairly regularly. This is basically the F-Zero game I’ve been hoping to get for years, and to be…

  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    —

    I don’t know if it’s because of all the movies I’ve been watching of late, but I haven’t been keeping up with everything I’m playing in my Debaser diary — and I have in fact been playing tons of stuff, same as always. Might as well kick off my efforts to catch up a bit…

  • Editmode

    —

    , ,

    The new episode of Toco Toco TV is out, and as expected it covers Editmode, the company behind the fantastic The King of Games line of game-related clothing. I love everything that Editmode produces, and loved seeing them talk about what inspires them, and how they got their start (and seeing them visit some of…

  • Crossing the Pacific Ocean

    —

    I previously alluded that Devine and Rekka were going to soon share a video of their 28-day journey across the Pacific Ocean on their sailboat, and here it is. These two continue to blow my mind.
