Japanese Arcade industry on the decline now?

yeah, i see my name in there too lol.

yeah yeah, internet fame! woopeee!

"Dcharlie who? Shou who? You are not well know"

The important thing is that if our names come up in an internet word association game i'd much rather someone go "...who?!" than "twat". And thats the rub, as mentioned by someone over at Shmups - JJ thrives on the base fact of attention, it doesn't have to be good.

The dogpiles over at Shmups are also a fun read.

My meeting with Shou was one of the most hilarious and unexpected events in my entire life. Talk about freaky....

 

Yeah, he told me about that one. Weird.

It is nice to know that I'm pretty safe if someone spots me in public and says, "are you Gaijin Punch?" I guess a few people might want to smash my head in.

 

yeah, the next day was totally weird. I obviously dealt with him day on day for the best part of a year or two so it was case of "wait , YOU'RE Shou?!" and "wait, you're Dcharlie?!" - so so odd. Alas, no more :sadface.


i think i missed you one day at his , erm, "game dungeon" by about 30 minutes - you'd been there on a scanning mission.

 

Ah, yeah -- I still have to process those damn things.
I just left the scanner there for another time.
