Honnou Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Ive got some blog news for you. SHINJUKU LAS VEGAS HAS CLOSED RIP VEGAS, good times!
ElvenShadow Posted August 1, 2009 Author Posted August 1, 2009 Dude are you fucking serious?!? ..... ... lets have a moment of silence for one of the greatest game centers ever.. ... ... . . .... ... .. .. ... .. .. looks like im gonna be playing at Takadanobaba all the time now
Hintalove Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 The Baba Mikado probably has a lot to do with why it went out of business. Either way, that sucks. Maybe Baim will actually show up at Mikado now?
doragonkoroshi Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Are you guys noticing a decline in game centers in general or is it just the one?
Hintalove Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Hey, are you back over there yet? I know you don't want to write your blog any more, but could you at least give us SBO weekend? Either way, good luck in the last chance quali!
Mayu Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I think vegas is moving to takadanobaba btw. I saw a sign on the door the first day they closed down and it had a map to another location, I just couldn't understand it.
Raviloli Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Yo what's up Elven. I'm gonna be in Tokyo for about a year starting in the middle of September. Would be cool to get some games and shit in with you.
ghost333 Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 i am in japan for a week now , and i plan to stay one more... perhaps a meeting with sb? btw what time does the trains stop in japan?
woki Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 It looks like a whole bunch of people entered the foreigner-only tournament @ Mikado on 8/15. Elvenshadow-Sensei (lol) at around 2:00
Hintalove Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Lol Mike, Basara won the LCQ. Can you shed some light on that?
ElvenShadow Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 Alright well I finally got around to typing my blog again. I got the whole SBO weekend in there and it took forever to type so I hope people read it. Im debating if I should even continue the blog or not. Please answer the poll to tell me how you feel. Comments are always welcome as well. Matt, Basara won because he played extremely well. He had some nail biter matches for sure Ravioli, sure we can play sometime. just hit me up later the trains in Tokyo stop at around midnight btw does anyone have a niconico douga account I can use to watch vids? I was using MIUs cuz the password was stored in my laptop when he came over last year but now its not and im too lazy to make my own
thegame4ever Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Please continue with the blog, it's an amazing insight into the arcade scene in Japan (as well as other stuff) and I feel things wouldn't be the same if there were no lengthy entertaining posts telling us about life in Japan.
sir_arthur Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Ditto, please keep with the blog, it is very enterteining i just found about it like 2 months ago and have read all of it, the drunken nights at current, the arcades, etc.. very interesting and entertaining. btw, after reading your blog i have found the urge to play GG again, i played in the XX, early Realod days, do you think is worth learning AC?
maverick Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Definitely continue your blog if you have the time, I enjoy the long posts. Reading your blog makes me want to visit Japan at least once in my life. Woshige is one of the top GG players and has the best Millia throughout the GG series, I find it weird that Flash said that he wasn't a good player. I know you didn't win EVO but at least you won in the team tournament. You have one hell of a Faust, I still consider you the best in the U.S. Stay healthy man.
AtTheGates Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 great update, man, i'm having so much fun reading it, and i had to laugh hard at the toilet story and covering up the sleeping people ^^ ...as well as dora bang cosplay!
MaeglinIX Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I bet blogging can be kind of a chore, but I really hope you keep up with it. I love reading about the fun Japanese cultural and social experiences you have just as much as the arcade scene in Japan!
ElvenShadow Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 btw, after reading your blog i have found the urge to play GG again, i played in the XX, early Realod days, do you think is worth learning AC? As for now, it seems that AC is going to be around for a while. Its going to most likely be like the ST of the GG series. The scene is still thriving here in Japan but lately the North American GG scene has been rather lacking to say the least. Due to all the new games coming out, interest in GG has been dwindling. If you enjoy playing the game and you have some competition in your area, then by all means pick up AC. If you want to play a game that has TONS of comp and huge cash prizes, maybe you should be playing something else. Its really up to you. IMO I would say play it as long as you enjoy it.

BioLogIn Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 ElvenShadow You blog is the one I'm always looking forward to read. I understand that it can be a major bother for you to continue updating it, and I cannot offer you anything other but deepest thanks, but still, please do continue =)

Shazay Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Just looked over the latest entry, great read mang.
Hintalove Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 If I bring a guitar this winter... we should totally do a cover of red barchetta. I'm working on a cover of it with my dad and brother but my dad is just filling in on bass because we dont have any one who actually plays bass and it's just not the same. I need you mikeeeeeeee
ElvenShadow Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 lol ok sure we should also cover the count of tuscany, get practicing!
