    How crazy was it on the PS3 launch day to get your hands on a console? As this image suggests, plenty, and you should read Brad’s account of how he got his hands on one.

    Around midnight last night, I hopped on my bike and went to check out the queue for the PS3 — today is launch day here in Japan — at the main Bic Camera shop in Ikebukuro. It resulted in this post for Kotaku, which includes a few pics of the scene. Brad was out at…

    Following the great time I had at the party organized by Rockstar Games for their new Table Tennis game, I was really looking forward to the release (which was this past Thursday), but surprisingly, I haven’t been able to find a copy yet!

    To promote their new table tennis game for the Xbox 360, Rockstar Games has been having these private play party tournaments in a swank penthouse apartment in Ebisu throughout the month, and I was lucky enough to get invited to one. It was an absolute blast — I now love the game — and it…

    In this shot (from this Kotaku post) it looks like I’m actually good at playing GRAN TURISMO HD. I’m not.
