  • Arcade Mania Launch Party

    —

    , ,

    Before I leave for China (I take off tomorrow), I want to make sure to get the word out about the launch party we’ll be having for Arcade Mania. It takes place Saturday, September 27 (19:00-23:00) at Cafe Pause in Ikebukuro. No free drinks unfortunately, but they will be cheap, and we’ll have lots of…

  • Twittering

    For those of you interested in this sort of thing, I’ve recently taken up twittering — I’m late, I know — and you can follow my feed here.

    As promised, I’ve now launched my new sideblog, a place where I can talk about gaming to my heart’s content. It’s called Tokyo Game Boy, after the Tokyo Boy monicker I’ve used for years. Unlike what I do here, it won’t necessarily be about Tokyo or Japan-related topics, and I don’t plan on being news-y…

    I’ve been enjoying the Full Throttle discussion so much that I’ve decided to start a new sideblog to talk more about games. I figure I’ll probably call it Tokyo Game Boy — based on the Tokyo Boy monicker I’ve been using for years — and I’ll put something up in the coming days. It won’t…

  • New Feature: Game Discussion

    —

    ,

    I’ve been wanting to add more game-related content to the site, but was trying to find the right way to do so without alienating readers who come for coverage of the Tokyo/Japan design and cultural scene. One of the non-intrusive ways I’ll be doing so is by setting up discussion pages on games — new…

    —

    One of last night’s PauseTalkers was Adam Carstens, a researcher at the Globis graduate school of management here in Tokyo. He’s currently conducting research on the creative process inside Japanese companies, and is on the lookout for anyone with interesting stories to share. If you’d like to help, please get in touch with Adam.
