🇵🇭🇰🇷🇨🇦 Toronto boy in Osaka. Hunting and fighting. I worked on some games you probably love. Narrative Department alumni.
Also I had ZERO idea Cary Elwes was in this! The man looked completely different for this role, I had zero idea it was him till the credits hit.
Walked in to Dead Man's Wire thinking it was going to be a high stakes thriller, but it turns out to be a dark comedy 😳
The Haunting of Hajji Hotak and Other Stories by Jamil Jan Kochai has an amazing Japanese localized title きみはメタルギアソリッドV:ファントムペインをプレイする "You play Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain"
One resource I check when brainstorming names for work are NCAA rosters and I recently came across this madman😮💨
Confident stupidity is such a great term that I had to screenshot this so I never forget it
Had lunch at a place visited by tons of wrestlers including AJ Styles! I also spotted signatures of Karl Anderson, Finn Balor and Starlight Kid from Stardom😳
Finally got my Okamoto jersey! This was only available at the Skydome for the longest time but they finally started selling it online last week🎉
Having said that, Japan in 2004 was WILD. Everything seemed so advanced compared to Canada (and tbh it still does). Also, experiencing game culture in Japan was great. I got to enjoy amazing arcades, random models promoting Metal Gear Solid 3 in Shibuya, and launch day PSP and Nintendo DS.😍
I totally forgot about this but last week marked 22 years since I moved to Japan😱To celebrate here's 2 low quality pics of Akihabara in 2004 before it turned into...whatever it is now.😭
I hate when people explain away bad behavior as "playing the heel", or just their online personality. Stop giving bad people an excuse to act like dicks.
Also reminder that AI has really ruined web searches (and so much more)
For Juneteenth name one black character you've mained I AIN'T STOPPING AT ONE
Today's pickups! I loved The Vegetarian so I'm looking to finish up the last bit of Legends and Lattes that I'm on (which is a fun book in its own right!) and dig in to this. The Casa magazine is a special edition that has some great info inside about Mario! #booksky
