Retro Gaming Conventions in Japan?

[jeffhlewis]

then you go to the american ones and its disheveled unshowered people, and fat chicks in Sailor moon outfits with their gunts hanging out.

Ok "Gunts" is now my favorite word. You sir are a genius, haha

Where are you abouts?  I'm in Shiga, land of the lake, and bored umemployed, but very easy women.

I'm out in Ashikaga in Tochigi prefecture, just north of the Tokyo area and west of Utsunomiya.  It's pretty cool if you're into natural vistas and historical structures; can't comment on the women, though.

You might get a kick out of the web pages I made up when I first moved to Japan and was sent to the sticks:  http://www.chrismcovell.com/lifeinjapan.html

My solution was partying with my students, but if yours are 5 y/o then.......   their mothers & fathers?

Believe it or not, I think I've actually stumbled across your page before at some point.  It looks very familiar at least...

If I wasn't being actively terrified of the parents then I'd probably have a better shot at that partying idea.   Well, not terrified so much as not wanting to do anything to harm their opinion of me.  I have a real problem with being too concerned about tatemae.

The only game anyone seemed to want to play when I was in Japan was Virtua Fighter.  If sega just,made a new version of that they could A.) Save their company and B.) Do a 365 day Virtua Fighter convention.
