Japan Indie Games Go, Go, Go
This is a post to celebrate the release of the Branching Paths documentary, which I just love so damn much. Go buy it here. So what’s this Branching Paths thing all about then? It’s a just-released documentary directed by Anne Ferrero that takes a look at the growing indie gaming scene in Japan. Unlike in…

Cutting Edge
The joys of losing posts. Last night I wrote a long post about my recent frustrations with the digital edition of Edge magazine, as of the latest issue. I was even positioning it as a sort of return of The Magaziner (the site I used to run about magazine culture). But I somehow lost the…

Miki Saito
I’m so happy to see artist Miki Saito getting a lot of attention these days. The best thing about hosting PauseTalk all these years was that it gave me the chance to meet so many interesting and creative people, and Miki was one of those people. She was a regular attendee since returning to Japan.…

We – me and my fellow organizers, Daryl Cole…

Adrian is yet another person I’ve met through PauseTalk – yes, I tend to meet the most interesting people through my PauseTalk series, which is the main reason I started doing it all these years ago. And he draws. A lot. Adrian is a freelance illustrator based here in Tokyo, and…

Strike a Pose, There’s Nothing to It
Strike a pose. Last week – on Saturday, which was the day “Fashion’s Night Out” was held – as we were walking down Omotesando, we were stopped by a group who were taking street shots for Vogue Japan, to be used on the magazine’s website, and possibly other sites. They of course wanted to shoot…

Eighty
Lordy, lordy, look who’s… 80. The next edition of PauseTalk is just over a week away (happening on Monday, July 7), and not only is it the Vol. 80, but it also marks the 8th anniversary of the series. (Well, last month would have been the true anniversary, since I started it in June, but…
