Odds and Ends Friday Plus Royal Video

An old woman with dementia stopped me on the street to tell me about her dead husband. She seemed to be completely oblivious to the fact that I was a foreigner. It's a little hard to put into words, but the experience was profound. Something out of Twilight Zone.

Here are a few random pictures:


Riz at Hey when we just got to town.


Chun-Li slot machine at Super Potato. I scooped up some old Gamest back issues with WW, CE and ST coverage there. *nudges Crayfish*


Shibuya Kaikan used to be an ST hotspot but I wasn't able to find a machine.


Xiaohai best KoF98 player in the world.


Three-fifths of the women's team at the SSF4AE 5on.

I recorded a whole bunch of footage at Mikado tonight featuring Mattsun, Damdai, Shiro, Kusumondo, Riz, Immortal, Murasaki, Pony and other SBO guys. If you like this blog please donate or buy a shirt!
