Native English Learned poor French in school Learned even poorer Japanese on my own time for shameful reasons It always really surprises people when I reveal that I can read Japanese, like they don't believe me. Me being a boring white Canadian guy, that is.
Odow is right. The scenery doesn't feel asian to me either. Since samurai are japanese you should look at a lot of japanese photos to get a feeling for the environment. And by environment I mean foliage and architecture. Maybe search for a photo-blog about japan or samurais I guess there are a few with great photography on…
For learning japanese I'm finding that I'm really enjoying Human Japanese (not free but has pretty good free trials.) http://www.humanjapanese.com/home It covers a mix of everything but it explains everything you learn pretty well and detailed. Which has really been helping me on the sentence building and grammar side of…
Old meets new... This fashion obsessed ronin combines traditional samurai armour with modern-day alternative Japanese styles, as often seen in the Harajuku district of Tokyo. The look was inspired by the mixing of the traditional with the ultra modern that is a hallmark of Japanese culture and is intended to give a…
I sometime played to the 6st in a Game Center last summer, this is very cool, I like it! But can't play when a japanese guy is already on the opposite machine, he kill you in one seconde =___=.... and in the Japanese Game Center we can get cool card for free ^_^. I copied some on my computer ^_^

These books look cool. Too bad I can't string together a single sentence of Japanese! I've always wanted to see inside Japanese studios about their art processes and such. You know what's odd? There's a Book-off store downtown here. Great prices. I might go there to seek these out just for the hell of it.:)
Goseikou omedetou!!! Wow, working for Team Ico will be an incredible experience I'm sure. I'm guessing that with a surname like Deguchi that you already know some japanese already? I'd be really interested to hear what working for a Japanese dev is like because you don't tend to hear much about the inner workings of the…
any game that can give one a cowboy bebop feel is worth it's weight in gold. Are there any videos of this? I was reading some article the other day, basically stating that for the past two years nintendo have made the most profits by double and no x-box titles reached the Japanese top 100 sales... could this title give…
on the train to go pick it up now! huge tekken player, not so much street fighter (too much hadooken turtling in that) but hyped as shit.. been watching streams of it since the us release saw a japanese guy stream yesterday, fun time chatting with him and the other japanese chatters about it :D cant wait to do some asuka…
