Kitakami?!!?
It's in Iwate Prefecture, up where Mario is hanging out in the
background. While it's no Tokyo, it still is a comfortable place
to live.
*NEW*
More and more and more pics
of my walk around Kitakami. In 3-D!
*NEW*
Here are even more pics of
my travels around Iwate!
Here

Here
are various pictures that I took that show an interesting side of
traditional Japanese culture. Enjoy! |

Game
Hunting... Looking for games in Akihabara is more productive, but
I've found that doing the same in small towns is more fun. |

Akihabara!
It's the videogamer's Mecca. Filled with nerdy Japanese types, noise,
and lucky or rich foreigners. It is a *great* place in which to
get lost.

"あ
そぶ！ゲーム展", or Play! Game Expo, is an exhibition
(Sept. 2016 - Mar. 2017) held at the Skip
City visual arts museum in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
It features about 20 playable arcade games from the mid-late '80s
(eg. OutRun), game consoles, as well as reams of original design
documents from classic arcade games & hardware. I went
there with my son, took plenty of pictures, and had a great time!

Level
X was a retrospective show that was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan
Museum of Photography from Dec. 4, 2003 to Feb. 8, 2004. Here is
my account of going to the show on the very last day. |

On May
2nd
of 2004, I held my second (bi-)annual game party in my apartment.
It's nothing
official, just a bunch of friends and students having fun, reminiscing
over classic games, and getting drunk!
It was so
fun this time, I think I'll host another one in the summer. |
