Yes! You can meet the creator of Giftpia, Chibi-Robo and Archime-DS/LOL/Bakushow, if you happen to be in Tokyo. Golly!
Remember how I met Kenichi Nishi at Design Festa, almost by chance? Well now YOU can meet Kenichi Nishi at Design Festa, not by chance! He will be at this weekend's event, promoting Archime-DS once again. He would love to meet you, and you would love to meet him.
That's this weekend, May 17th and 18th, at Tokyo Big Sight. More details at Ken's blog.
Good gracious, it's Mr Blobbypants again! But this time, his adventures are presented to you by your fellow Eegra readers. Who knew they were so talented and unique and special?
Today is a day for drawing a new comic, and for listening to Judy and Mary. It is a day for holding cupcakes aloft. It is a day for the sun to rise, into the sky, and then, later on, set.
Today is a day for boys and girls to hold hands and cross the street with their eyes closed. It is a day for dogs to run free in the park, and for cats to plot socialist revolution.
Today is the day that we will inhale the odour of Liberty.
The Shindig is a month old now, which means it only has two months left to go. Two months might sound like a long time, but trust me, it’s totally not. In this go-go-go modern world of ours, with its internets and automobiles and such, two months goes by like THAT. So if you’ve been sitting around, hemming and hawing, wondering whether or not to enter The Shinding, then lemme give you some advice: stop being such a pussy and enter already. It’s not like there’s any good reason not to enter (the T&Cs are all standard legalese, we swear), and the more time you spend equivocating, the less time you’ll have to develop an awesome money-winning videogame. So c’mon and sign-up, damn it!
Oh, and speaking of awesome (potentially) money-winning videogames, here’s a video of MonoRAIL’s Shindig entry – an impressive looking “quantum-electrodynamical-shmup” called Go Beryllium!
Some of you might recognise monoRAIL (AKA Connor O’Kane) as the developer of Harpooned – a thought provoking shooter where the goal is to “research” cetaceans in the same way that the Japanese have been “researching” them for centuries: i.e. by killing them with harpoons. Unlike a lot of persuasive games, this one is actually a lot of fun in a disturbing sort of way, so if you haven’t already, then go check it out.
In other news, I’m in Japan on holidays. Today, I went to a park and fed a deer some biscuits. Later, we played Mario Kart. He won.
Um...

Now that I'm no longer in Japan, it's time to do a feature all about Japan!

GTAIV is very, very good and I think everyone should play it.
