Gamer, JP learner & Anime geek Used to work in video games, bringing Japanese games to the west, now I'm outside the industry. Ghostlight_Ross on the other site

I don't really have many regrets about my time in video games, 18 years at Ghostlight was a pretty good run, and I got to work on some really cool games, but I would have liked to get sent to Tokyo Game Show at least once.

Manga artist Go Nagai will be creating the match graphic for the main event of #tjpwWP7, Yuki Arai vs Suzume! Nagai is globally renowned with works such as Devilman, MazingerZ, GreatMazinger, Grendizer, etc. Cannot wait to see what will come out of the collaboration between this legend and #TJPW!

Feel I may have talked myself in to doing another Japan trip next year, and putting off the doing the stuff I couldn't do when I was ill in Bangkok until the year after. また日本に行きたいと思っている。

Taken tomorrow and Tuesday off, not only was I beginning to dream of cube, our system, I was beginning to dream of specific works, which I could identify after I woke up. Took that as a sign I needed a break.

This weekend’s TJPW show will feature only wrestlers in the early stages of their careers. Meanwhile, Miyu heads to the UK and Shoko to Thailand. Kamiyu will also compete in the U.S. in one of her precious remaining international appearances before retirement. #TJPW is fighting around the world.🌏

At Hyper Japan, seems a bit more going on than the last few years, but there's no Japan tourism presence this year. Not from the prefectures or the national level. Not that I'm planning another Japan trip next year, although...

I'm sure everyone posting about how FIFA were rigging it for England, because of the ball supposedly brushing the cable on our first goal, wouldn't be posting about how the match was rigged for England if a Norway goal had been chalked off for that.
