I so want to make a video of me with a cut-out arm vibrating back and forth as it raises and/or lowers on the screen.  It would be a pointless video, so it'd have to be part of a bigger parody of something.

Confusing 6502s and Z80s, and thinking the PCE contains the latter!

the 'master higgins' thing for the us version was just the us side's creation for the localization as 'meijin' (literaly : famous person) wouldn't make any sense.  no one in the states knew of takahashi at the time.  of course, naming the character 'master higgins' doesn't do much for us either.  i personally thought it was kind of funny because the name higgins reminded me of a character on magnum p.i. (whom my friend looked like [we called him higgins also]) and that was funny enough for me.  as for why 'master'...maybe because he's a good skateboarder?

al i do for hudson is get some information and write features for them.  i'm not a full time employee or anything like that.  i've gotten to meet several people from both the japan and us side things.  usually, it's pretty fun.

Master Higgens was the perfect choice for the character's name.  I would like to meet the person who made that decision and shake their hand.
I'm not sorry about this, as I'm not sorry about ANY attack by the goverrats.

"Master Higgins" is definitely one of the sweetest names ever for a video game character.
