Went to the Tokyo Arcade Machine Show, on an island made of rubbish.
I started the day out in Harajuku with Handsome and Klaus, we travelled quickly over to Ordaiba, got our passes and piled into the industry only show! Handsome fucked off somewhere after about 5 seconds and we didn’t find him again, which is what I half expected.
There are tons of arcade machines here, but the interesting thing was that most of them were by KONAMI! SEGA didn’t even get a look-in, which is odd, as they tend to rule the domain of the arcade.
Myself and Klaus played games and oggled show girls all day. I thought the BANPRESTO girls were best, well, check for yourself
After we got our fill of legs and bumpy bits (the girls are called companions, they are meant to help you play the games, yeah right! I was shooting the fuck out some game and the companion beside me was going nuts, she was SO HAPPY for me to KILL!), we headed off to play the less popular prize winning machines. Everything was free today, and so, the odd’s on winning something was 1/1, as we could just stand there and try and try and try. Needless to say we both came away with bags of stupid stuffed toys and sweets.
I felt some greed, which is something I havent felt since I was 8 years old, so I stopped. Anyway, my bag was full!
The day went quickly, time to go. Free entry, free games, free eye candy, all in the name of work. Great!
As we use e-mail more than SMS here in Japan, I have a look at what could be changed for the Japanese device, by means of a software update. This is basically my wish list for this already amazing device. Practically all of the wished for features listed are apparent on a normal everyday Japanese phone.
This July, I've spent every weekend at the beach. Mostly to get stung to buggery by jellyfish.
This month, Web design note profile me and my work on; Pantone, Transport for London and Salon Boutique.
