An absolutely stunning day of checking out Yokohama, before hopping to the coast for a cycle around Kamakura with an old game pal from the game journalism days.

Oh I never saw that one 😅 that must have been a blast

Coincidentally my wife and I went there last time we visited Japan 😅

We also randomly found a Yoda themed bar too 😅 Golden Gai is fun but those cover charges can be a bit ‘oof’

Kabukicho, Shinjuku. 8:30am - this area always feels so different during the morning.

At night it’s buzzing with people out partying, grabbing a bite (and more…)

It’s so much more peaceful in the morning.

It’s incredible. Second time there and I’d gladly go again and again 😅

New Japan Wrestling at Korakuen Hall.

This has been such a blast so far, and there’s loads of bouts left to go 😅

Good lord Meta AI continues to be incredibly stupid. These suggested prompts on Facebook posts are pointless.

I’d love to see the metrics of who (if anyone) actually uses them.

So happy to be back at the Kirby Cafe. As a Kirby nut, I could eat here every day.

An amazing trip up the Tokyo Skytree in Sumida, with a great view of Mount Fuji.

God I love Japanese shop slogans 😅

Spotted this in Shibuya last night.

Awesome cocktails, tasty cheddar, and great chats with fellow travellers at Chris Broad’s Lost bar in Shibuya.

Awesome joint 👏 素晴らしい！

A historic moment.

We’re now living in a post 3376494 world, thanks to your contribution.

The pre 3376494 era was dogshit, clearly.

Shinjuku’s infamous cat billboard.

I wish we had more arcades like that back home

Oh amazing! How was that?

Awesome find in Akihabara today, a Typing of the Dead arcade machine , complete with in-built Dreamcast keyboards. It was a lot of fun!

Don’t give them an inch.

They won’t be happy until we’re all dependent on AI, and far dumber and unskilled as a result.

Oh my god 😅

And not a single lesson will be learned by the industry at large 🤷‍♂️

And yet no one learns a damn thing

Did you suffer chest pains? Chest pains?

As always, art by the incredible @clarkbintart.bsky.social and colour by the amazing @eoosterhous.bsky.social

The moment it all goes wrong.

Preorders open now on our site www.killtopia.co

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

Same man. This is great to see but nowhere near enough to bring about the nationwide shift that’s needed for real change

No problem :)

I did see them but didn’t try them 😳 I’m back in Shibuya later today so I’ll give them a spin this time 😅

The Nintendo, Capcom, Pokémon and Sega stores are all on the same floor in Shibuya’s Parco shopping mall.

Convenient? Yes.

Expensive? Also yes 😅
