Strange things

So this is the real story that happened to me today. Not a big deal, but combining all of these happening in one day in just a few hours, it’s just a little weird.

How awesome is that?

Different ways to say “awesome”So Randy was on Japanese TV show “English master” and I taped it on my DVR. The content is fucking DRMed and couldn’t export it to DVD (I heard I can with an DVD-RW media with CPRM copy control supported though)  but I can stream the content with my Mac or PSP anywhere remotely with my DVR in Japan. Today during Foo Bar we watched the show and this is the highlight of the program. This lady tries to explain how to say “great” in English, according to Randy. So yeah, there are many ways to say that and they’re all Randy-ish. Becca also counted how many times he says “like” and there was a record of saying that three times in one sentence. It was an hilarious time!

Teaser: new features for my friends in Japan

[![Vox [Vox We’ll launch this Nico Nico Douga integration soon on Vox, hopefully early next week. What’s nice about this integration is not only that you can embed the video, but also that the video is actually added to your vox Video library along with YouTube. Because Nico Nico Douga doesn’t provide a search interface for logged-out users, the only way you can do this would be to use our VoxThis bookmarklet. Install it now to your browser so you can start blogging Nico Nico video as soon as we launch the feature. Stay tuned!

つくろう! 逆転裁判http://editor.pc-…Capcom launched the site “Let’s make your own Ace Attorney”, which allows you to create your scenario with Ace Attorney characters, playable on the web using Flash (and yes it’s embeddable!) This is a�brillant idea. All game companies should do this.

For this couple of weeks I’ve been trying to get the best out of my iTunes library with as many devices as possible. So far I ended up installing and having things like these:

No Keys

Lame me for not having the “to-bring” list for trips. Actually I have one but these days I just don’t check the list before trips and therefore it’s not well maintained.  On my taxi way to SFO, I realized that my apartment keys for Tokyo were still detached from the keychain (b/c always having that doesn’t make any sense here and is heavy) and are on the coffee table. I was about to tell the driver “Hey please return back home because I left something pretty important”, but actually my gf has the spare key so I figured that it’s fine to get there without keys, but I need to be more careful, or lazier to keep maintaining the list. Phew. Anyway, off to Tokyo now. See you there! Writing from United lounge via hateful T-mobile W-Fi ($9.99/day)

NES Games collection

ファミコン全ソフトカタログ#1(NES)ファミコン全ソフトカタログ#2(NES)ファミコン全ソフトカタログ#3(NES)On Nico Nico Douga as well as YouTube there goes a fascinating video being uploaded “NES all games collection”. It’s a series of videos to show you all Famicom (NES) gams in 26 weeks. It’s close to what we see on the TV show Game Center CX but it tries to cover all games, that makes a difference!

true tears

Amazon.co.jp: true tears vol.1So I’ve been into this anime these days. This is a new show that started in this January, and it’s based on a Windows love-romance game and it’s a story of high-school boys and girls, so it might look something nerdy or cheesy at its first look.
