I'll take three, please.

Someday, I will pilot my very own Gundam. I'm sure of it.

Grand Turismo 5

Kazunori Yamauchi has finally shown us the next Grand Turismo 5, and man does it look incredible. There is a reason these games are considered the pinnacle of the racing genre. What's important to note is this is all in-game footage. Also of note is his admission that it's actually completed, yet no release date has been set. All eyes are on the games publisher Sony right now, so hopefully they'll be kind and get this game out to us as soon as possible. Kazunori-san said that in the meantime, he'll continue to polish a game that already seems perfected.

These games are always a huge time-sink for me, but I can't wait. Hopefully we'll see it soon.

How to speak fluent Japanese

Ken Tanaka is quite an interesting character, claiming to be born in America and raised in Japan by his adoptive parents。Is he for real? Well, that's for you to decide... He's put tons of video's up on YouTube, and this is one of the funniest. If your interested check them out, and if you want, venture deeper down the rabbit hole, and see what other interesting things you can dig up. If you happen to run into the rabbit deep down in that hole though, just remember: his name is Jacob.

時々、僕は辛党ですが、何か飲むと、月に一度しか。もっと出かけたいんですけど、ぜんぜん出かけません。時間がありませんから。今日、何か飲みたかったですから、店に行って、ビールを買いました。このごろ、本当に疲れたから、休みたいんですよ。How do you say I'm burnt out in Japanese? ちょっと長年ですよ。疲れた。。。。

Some things never change

Takes the saying "same shit, different day" to an extreme. While I can't pronounce this Dutch? artist's name, he's by far one of the most talented artist I've seen, that's not completely full of themselves and actually has something to say, in a long time. Check out his other videos on youtube, some of them are quite amazing.

Here's to You!

All this time I thought I should be hearing words of encouragement from SOMEONE, and low and behold, it's been available to me the whole time! I'm going to buy this CD just so I can listen to it and jump up from my chair and raise my arms in the air just like this guy.

84 stroke kanji

Holy shit. Look at this monster. For whatever reason, someone thought it would be a good idea to create this 84 stroke kanji. Supposedly it was created in the Edo period for a play, and although it's not recognized as an "official kanji", it was used at some point in history. It reads "daito" which means, well, I don't know what it means, but I'm guessing "insane". In essence, it is fairly easy to write, but it begs the question, why?

The next kanji is only a measly 79 strokes. It reads "ouichiza". It means "noisy".
