It's been 8 years since I last wrote about where to find import Japanese pop culture/otaku Anime goods from shops around Hong Kong so I thought I'd write about it again. I visit HK frequently so it's worth knowing about these places for me being a big fan of Japanese video games and Anime. Not much has really changed since that post in 2009...

Always have been a fan of city building sim games since SimCity. Most recent ones I've played would be City Skylines and Surviving Mars. Then I came across this, Ixion, a cross between a survival and city building sim where you must keep a space station maintained as you travel through space with your large crew. It's a tough gamewhere...

As a developer, I know that code takes time to mature and stabilise so I'd been putting off Windows 11 for some time. Not to mention I don't have as much time to tinker with hardware as I did during my student days. Windows 10 was working great, everything was stable. If something went wrong I'd have to spend a lot of time fixing the machine....

Tried this game because it looked interesting but almost gave up when I kept losing on the very first campaign even on easy. Reviews compare it to a dumbed down but better looking version of FTL: Faster Than Light but I've never played that to confirm. It's roguelike so you can't save whenever and end up restarting a campaign from...

New promo art was revealed starring the heroine Suzume makes it into the morning newspapers such as Asahi. A premiere release date has been revealed for the movie as 11th November 2022. Toho also tweets some special footage from the movie due on April 10th 8pm JST on their official YouTube channel. Speculation on Twitter suggests the...

There's quite a bit to learn in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the game doesn't really give you much pointers so, thought I'd put together a guide. So once you've set yourself up a tent and done the same for your new neighbours, you can talk to Tom Nook to see what you should do. He'll ask you to show him some of the local wildlife which can...

Today was the big reveal of Makoto Shinkai's next movie, "Suzume no Tojimari [Suzume's Closure]" (no official English title yet) due 2022, autumn. Earlier in the morning (JST) he had already revealed a piece of promo art. The action, road trip movie follows 17 year old girl Suzume where she travels together either another entity...

Today was the last day I was staying in London before returning home the next morning. With business out the way I had a full day to explore. First thing in the morning was Kensington Palace which I've never been to. I'd been to Buckingham Palace when I was little but not this place I think. Again, it looked like an interesting place to...

So I had a meeting down in London and the last time I been there was over 10 years ago when Shinkai was there for a live interview. Since I was down there any way I thought I'd visit some of the places; mainly museums. Then it occurred to me the K-ON Movie was also set there so I thought why not visit those too if they're nearby? It's actually...

Always enjoyed co-op side scrolling brawler games I could play with my friends so games like Streets of Rage have always been fun. Feels like local co-op games you don't need the internet to play were made for the Switch too since it comes with two controllers and it's a compact, all-in-one console you can take literally take anywhere to...
