Miraculously was able to reserve a launch day Switch 2✌️

Today’s outfit: Beautiful Saturday afternoon, out running errands: Light brown / beige linen jacket. Tom Ford denim shirt. Brown linen pocket square.

One of my highlights of Star Wars Celebration was the “connections between Japan and Star Wars” discussion panel. They showed the Daicon opening animation featuring Star Wars characters, then followed by discussing the similarities between Star Wars and Evangelion. I audibly gasped.

My Master Code Breaker cosplay at Star Wars Celebration went better than I could have imagined! Was stopped by a ton of people wanting to compliment my outfit and take pictures. Was slightly worried beforehand that no one would recognize my character, but seemingly everyone knew who I was!

Where’s the outage over a foreign president not wearing a “proper suit” to the White House?!?!

Today I learned that Toys R Us in Japan still to this day implements the old paper slip system for new video game releases.

I'm not religious, but I believe in the holy trinity.

Ten days out from Star Wars Celebration, and my cosplay outfit is complete. I am going as “The Master Code Breaker”, who was briefly seen in The Last Jedi. I wanted to go in cosplay that was “suit adjacent”, and I already had most of the pieces in my closet. I spent less than $7 to put it together!

Out running some last minute errands, and buying some snacks for tonight’s Switch 2 unveiling. Hype levels reaching critical, and I’m driving around blasting this to put myself in the mood. Real ones know.

Corey Booker is a real one👍

Nintendo Today just updated in Japan, and the final tease before the big reveal is the functionality surrounding the mysterious C button

Less than 24 hours to go until the big Switch 2 reveal, and now we’re learning there’s a treehouse direct on top of that. Current mood:

Less than 48 hours to go, and Nintendo just revealed a new Switch 2 render ahead of the hardware’s big unveiling. Doubling down on the joy con mouse feature it seems.

Game Center CX will be celebrating its 400th episode in June. To celebrate Arino will be doing a 400 minute live stream of him playing Punch Out. Arino *barely* managed to beat Soda Popinski, and unless he plays on a CRT, I gotta imagine beating Mr. Dream / Tyson on a LCD display is legit impossible

Today’s outfit: Beautiful day today, so I decided to put together my first summery outfit of the year: Ralph Lauren Purple Label navy linen double breasted jacket. Tom Ford denim shirt. Mickey Mouse handkerchief.

Today’s extremely high level style super power: with no dimensions or size provided I was able to identify, merely by eye, a set of 2 suits for sale online that fit me perfectly. Just studying one grainy pic closely gave me enough info to correctly identify the sizing Scored 2 Zegna suits for $150

Regardless of being 64 years old, Hideaki Anno is currently working on 5 separate projects, and is also trying to get a sequel to Shin Kamen Rider going. While I want nothing more than Anno to find peace, if he wants to be like Miyazaki and continue working til his 80s, I’m not complaining.

This is really cool, and not only is referencing classic consoles, but the actual museum itself. The first thing you see when arriving on the second floor of the musuem is a similar cube comprised entirely of LED panels that cycles through the start up sound of every Nintendo console.

Today’s outfit: Navy blue pinstripe suit. Brooks Brothers winchester shirt. Brown shantung silk Luigi Borrelli necktie.

Today’s outfit: Navy pin striped double breasted suit. Brooks Brothers blue shirt. Franco Bassi tie.

Similar experiences I had working at EB: “Resident Evil” became “Residential Evil” “Tomb Raider” became “Tomba Raider” “Onimusha” became “Oni Masher” “Halo” became “Hallow” And *most* people couldn’t properly pronounce “melee” so “Smash Brothers Melee” became “Smash Brothers ‘MaLee’”.

Today’s outfit: Wool glencheck with blue piping double breasted suit. Luigi Borrelli blue striped shirt. Franco Bassi necktie.

The goat was just added to Nintendo music

Today’s outfit: Chocolate brown flannel chalk stripe single breasted suit. Brooks Brothers winchester shirt. Brown shantung silk Luigi Borrelli necktie.

Wonder what the back and forth between Gainax and ADV about the “enhanced” version of Eva was all about? I’m assuming Gainax did some additional clean-up on their own of the broadcast versions for the home releases, and something got lost in translation when negotiating the international rights?

Remember when people got mad that Obama wore a tan suit?

In what might be the strangest Nintendo Music update to date, Street Pass was just added to the service.

Read an interview with Deion Sanders, in which he said from 1992 to 1995, he never wore the same outfit twice. Uhhhh....I'm certainly no multi-millionaire athelete, but I think I could easily go the rest of my life without ever wearing the exact same suit/tie/shirt/cufflinks combo.

A little over 2 months to go until Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo and I need to decide soon if I’ll be going in cosplay or not. If I do go in cosplay, I want it to be something suit adjacent. Current contenders are: Master Code Breaker, Syril Karn, or Dryden Voss. Any other ideas or suggestions?

Hell yes, Super Mario World just added to Nintendo Music👍
