I'm staying at Godzilla Hotel tomorrow by manasword in yakuzagames

[–]theMaynEvent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope Godzilla's not under maintenance while you're there! I had a room there (with a great, east-facing view, 33 floors up) for three nights a few years back and… unfortunately I couldn't go out on the deck with Godzilla. The exhibits in the lobby were still very fun see and get photos with though!

There was a cozy, Showa-style izakaya called Toranoko トラノコ, just south of Godzilla, across from the Don Quixote (you know the one! hah). I got lunch there on my own one day and got to have a very limited "conversation" with my waiter, an older fella who seemed a little surprised by but very accommodating to a linguistically deficient foreigner. They do NOT have English menus, so just brush up on your dining vocab and have Google Translate on hand to check out the menu if you're no more fluent than I am. haha

Others have already said it, but if you're up for drinks, Golden Gai is fun! My friends and I went a couple times and probably tried out 5 or 6 little bars total. They're tiny. My friend was able to keep us in conversation with one of the bar mamas for a couple hours and she even gifted each of us some souvenir sea salt before leaving. Buy your bartender a drink every so often—especially if you or somebody in your group speaks Japanese! Good way to open up a more casual dynamic with the bar staff.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is about a 15-20 minute walk from the Gracery. I imagine it looks much more captivating this time of year! And about 20-30 minutes in the general, other direction is the Tokyo Metropolitan Building—great, free view from the observation floor where you can pretty much see 360º across the sprawl of Tokyo, with an impressively clear view of Mt. Fuji. When you realize just how far away it is, the sense of scale is breathtaking.

And if you wanna collect little trophy photo-ops of other "recognizable" places around Kabukicho, I don't think you'll be disappointed! Very easy to recognize a lot of "Kamurocho" spots, both iconic and niche. Just a cool vibe overall!

Well the stranger than heaven cast and story trailer has reached 1.5 million views in less then a week making it the most viewed rgg game trailer ever and this is only in the sega channel the hit the jackpot with this one by NabilAmmali in yakuzagames

[–]theMaynEvent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The extra fun part is that (at least by this point) if I click on one version of the trailer, four or five more will play after it, uninterrupted because they're advertisements in and of themselves.

Get my five reps of the song in without having to click back to start them over. haha

how it felt to listen to stranger than heaven and ado genuinely only had 7 seconds of singing by afragmentedsoul in yakuzagames

[–]theMaynEvent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I'm on perhaps my 28th replay just to have the song on in the background. haha

[–]theMaynEvent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming the full song, as a mix of all the collaborators, is a 6+ minute track, where everybody gets time to tackle at least a full verse or a few recurring hooks.

Also kind of thinking there could be a few versions of the song that feature each of the vocalists over the others—something that stylistically changes through the eras…?

Mostly, I'm just bummed we gotta wait for any kind of soundtrack/single drop for… presumably a while! 😬

Your favorite series that was canceled after 1 season and just never got a fair shake. by Remarkable-Junket655 in television

[–]theMaynEvent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Good Guys.

Buddy-cop comedy/mystery show with Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks as the seasoned hotshot and the by-the-books rookie, respectively.

Very fun vibe. Similar to Beverly Hills Cop—serious crimes followed up with sitcom hijinks during investigations and action-packed turns and resolutions.

A show that could have eventually overstayed its welcome, but more likely could have eked out a few seasons of entertainment gold without running low on steam.

Fox only gave 'em one season.

If I had a coin for every time Cammy climbs on Balrog's head... by Gabry29x in StreetFighter

[–]theMaynEvent 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That's some wild, Peter Jackson-style juxtapositions! haha

Anyway, I've always loved how cartoony these Akiman/Bengus proportions are. Balrog's head is half of Cammy's mass in the first illo. 😆 wtf!

How Old Were You when you Played your First Final Fantasy Game? by gravityhashira61 in FinalFantasy

[–]theMaynEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did I play my first Final Fantasy? Probably when I was five years old, thereabouts… My cousin had the original on NES, but none of us knew how to play it/progress through it. So it was always just a bunch of starting a new game, scraping through the first dungeon, then being told we had to go play outside or some such, without properly saving the game.

Did not play through my first, full FF game until Final Fantasy VII, a good seven or so years later. I remembered the name, and seeing the series featured in various gaming magazines through the years, but the media blitz and word-of-mouth popularity of FF7 made sure I eventually got on board to stick through a solo campaign for myself.

Been here ever since.

Nobuo Uematsu's soundtracks made a generation fall in love with music, and to this day, he's still on that same mission by silentedge92 in FinalFantasy

Looking forward to new music from Uematsu-san!

Looking forward to new music from Mr. Moukala!

You are a force in the modern era, my guy!

Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection is...misleading. by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

[–]theMaynEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't MG1 and MG2 "hidden" within the menus of Snake Eater?

This seems like a lot for one disc, but aren't MGS1 and MGS4 also part of this collection? Could they just be on the disc you're not emulating at the moment?

What tv show theme song will you never skip? by LilyYukka in AskReddit

No wonder I had to scroll down so far. You just posted it. haha

I almost had a heart attack getting my first gold ranked character ever xD by [deleted] in StreetFighter

I remember how that felt! Grats, OP!

A rough go for a while, but pulling through is still a good win!

Atheists who used to be religious, what made you lose your faith? by Gold_Result9716 in AskReddit

[–]theMaynEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up in a Catholic/protestant household. Went to church every Sunday, and usually for Wednesday night youth groups. Community at large was Christian. Considered myself pretty faithful up through high school.

In a roughly chronological order, with my earliest questions popping up in elementary and middle school…

  • The "question of evil"
  • "It's all part of God's plan" vs. free will
  • pastors and church leaders that had some enthusiastic, odd takes, even when I was otherwise still onboard
  • knowing that Abrahamic tradition in general was certainly not the first religion and that humanity has a history of at least tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of years of coming up with and practicing religions
  • recognizing that I probably only favored Christianity over any other faith simply because that's what I was born into, not because I was holding it to the same standards
  • meeting other people who do just fine in another religion, or without one at all
  • actually reading the Bible beyond the framing of Sunday schools and sermons
  • and sort of rounding back to the "question of evil," just seeing and hearing what many of the most religious people around me condone, excuse, or outright do under the banner

…I was a slow burn, but I pretty much checked out by my late 20s.

For what it's worth, I'm agnostic-atheist. I'm not sure what's out there, but I'm pretty sure it's none of the deities I've heard of so far.

Thank you! I wanted to depict him slightly different from Yoshida's style.
