We also have transformers in Europe, but they are hidden. Which incidentally makes them more reliable, as they are not exposed to the elements.

I do live in Japan and good god, I have never seen such messy people anywhere else in the world. The offices of all my Japanese colleagues are piles upon piles of documents and boxes without any kind of order. But the cities themselves are

To be fair, most of Japanese TV is like that. I always joke that the primary reason they developed HD TV was to be able to cram more text in every corner xD

Sorry, but I disagree. When the blog post omits the most basic spelling rules of the language it is written in, it is worth complaining, lest we end up normalising such behaviour.

Yeah, Japan is an extremely conservative country in many aspects, but it looks like young people are slowly pushing against some obsolete social rules. A year ago there were big news when big corporations like McDonalds ended their hair col

There are still niche electronic shops in Akihabara though: the ones under the tracks, Radio Department Store, Aisan, and the back streets parallel to the main street.

I don't know, I have visited Tokyo many times (the last time was two weeks ago), and IMHO it is cool to visit once in a while, but I am not sure I would want to live there. The overpopulation, the cramped buildings, and the brutal weat

The core of the big cities like Tokyo and Osaka are like that, but as soon as you move a little bit outside, Japan quickly devolves into endless urban sprawl. I live in a Japanese city of 40k and it is just stroads, two-story buildings, and

Yuzo Koshiro is pretty famous. If memory serves me correctly, Streets of Rage / Bare Knuckle was one the first games to prominently display the the composer's name.

Japan also closed itself to the world for 250 years, and it looks like some people haven't still gotten the memo that the Edo era is long gone.

Which Sonic game? The first one is quite bad, but S3&K is probably my favourite platformer ever. Regarding my comment about the difficulty, for me it is mostly a result of the bad controls, which to be honest is a problem that plagues m

I played the original DKC trilogy for the first time three years ago, and I have to say that I really disliked parts 1 and 2. The controls felt very "floaty" and the difficulty was not well adjusted. The bird stage in DKC 2 was sp
