  • Astro Boy: Edge of Time (Demo)

    —

    ,

    This has just launched as a Kickstarter campaign, and what’s really nice is that they’ve released a demo that you can check out, that gives you a try at the card gameplay (a tech test of sorts). As I just wrote, I love card games, and I love the creations of Tezuka Osamu, and so…

  • Elder Scrolls: Legends (PC Beta)

    —

    ,

    I like card games a lot (been playing them most of my life, from the first years that Magic: The Gathering showed up on the scene), and have actually been quite looking forward to release of this game. I’ve had a chance to try it out during its PC Beta, and gotta say that I’m…

  • Titanfall 2 (Tech Test)

    —

    ,

    I played a few matches in the game’s Tech Test last weekend (and it continues this coming weekend), and was excited to do so because I had never had a chance to play the first game (because I don’t have an Xbox One, and wasn’t interested in playing it on Xbox 360). My first experience…

  • Halt and Catch Fire (Season 3)

    —

    ,

    Halt and Catch Fire is my favorite still airing series (all-time fave award goes to Twin Peaks), and I’ve been soooooo excited for the start of season 3. I’ve only watched the first episode, and although it starts off a bit slow, I so loved the Jobs-like presentation at the end. Can’t wait to see…

  • Louis C.K.: Live at the Comedy Store

    —

    ,

    I love Louis C.K. so damn much, no matter what he does, and some of the most enjoyable stand-up routines I’ve ever seen were in of his past specials. I just watched this – it’s now available on Netflix – and was surprised that I felt a bit disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, I still…

  • Nissin Chicken Ramen CM

    —

    ,

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an intense and epic commercial for instant ramen. Nissin bringing it to the next level.

  • Neo Tokyo 2020

    —

    , ,

    When it was announced that the Olympics were going to be held in Tokyo in 2020, it didn’t take long for references to Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira to pop up, considering that’s exactly what was predicted to happen in the series (published in the 80s). Here’s a beautiful graphic treatment by Javier González Delgado, inspired by…

  • Turbulence

    —

    , ,

    My friend Gueorgui Tcherednitchenko has just produced his first zine, Turbulence, that collects some of his black & white Tokyo photography. It’s a nice little print object, and I’m definitely a fan of what he’s been shooting over the past year or two (following him on Instagram) — in fact, the avatar of me you see…
