Ok one more from you and i’m deleting you and banning your ip. I’m not having any of your bullshit on this site, if you got beef with someone take it to them instead of trying to spread it around.

I brought back a Japanese PS2 from my last japan trip, just so i can play pop’n music and Taiko. I have the proper home controllers for em, and about 12 games in the Taiko & pop’n music series. Got Taiko 1 & 2 on the PSP as well.

Despite the sheer volume of songs i have now, it still doesnt compare to bashing the heavy duty arcade drums.

I loves it!

yeah i posted that vid a while back soon after getting into Taiko no Tatsujin properly, it’s insane dude’s on some next level of drumming, or he’s just plain geeky. Probably a fine line to tread.
I think TC2 is the one i played before and I thought it was pretty good – i’ve never been much good at shooting arcades but they’re tons of fun. Cant you get a PS2 pack for TC2?

One of my junior high school students has the PSP version of Taiko No Tatsujin but it just ain’t the same. There was some video on Youtube (I think) of a guy playing the expert mode in the arcade, playing both Player 1 and Player 2 by himself.

It’s getting a bit hard to find Time Crisis 2 in the arcades now cos the cheap-o places have 3 and the upmarket arcades have number 4. Both crap.

ha ha yeah it’s my bad on the kyoto ting mate. I was only there for about 24h – hence why i didn’t holler, cos i barely had enough time to do anything and i decided to do it the day before I went. Went down with Kode 9 and Bug the day before they played and i left the following day at about 6. More of an excuse for me to go down with them and piss about, tho it did leave me broke for the rest of the month!
I loved it tho, so will most definitely be planning a return trip and i will give you a shout cos i intend to spend more than 24h this time!
Sall about Taiko No Tatsujin in the arcade tho, how are you on that? i’ll take on anyone, ha ha. Which reminds me I need to add it to the list of things to enjoy.

I’m sure you wouldn’t, but don’t fall into the trap of getting irritated at Japan because of the weather. You’ll get used to it and start saying “bit hot today innit?” when it reaches 40 degrees C, instead of passing out. Just be sensible and drink a lot – none of that water rubbish, Aquarius all the way. Don’t skimp on the drinks and you should be fine.

By the way, what’re all these Kyoto pictures doing when you didn’t tell me you were coming to Kyoto??! I guess you were with the casual so it was kind of my fault we didn’t meet up anyway. Kinkakuji’s good, but I could’ve shown you the REAL sites – the maid cafe where they respond to your order with “SIR YES SIR!”, the arcade where I’m still in 2nd position of the Time Crisis 2 high-score table, etc.!

ha ha no i dont i have, or maybe i did. there’s a great yakitori spot near where i live, but i still dont know most of the names. What’s it called. I must admit I was quite chuffed wiht my heart/tongue experience the other day – having had a distaste for such animal parts most of my life. but then again anything bbq-ed is the way fwd :wink:
I don’t rate the chicken skin ones so much – they’re too tender, i want grilled chicken skin dammit!

Ive heard loads about FMA – too much in fact. Along with Naruto, its the show most teeny anime newbies keep going on about. The fact that theres so many damn episodes put me off too!

I know what you mean about genres and such, but there are types of dustep i like, and types i find a bit dull. Just wanted to know if it had a ‘name’ so i can look for more stuff like it. I dont like grime though… Rapping and lyrics are ok to a certain extent, but grime just gets on my tits big time.
Ive been a fan of Vex’d for a while now, and i love distance’s album. Other stuff i like are intoccabile, cluekid and tes la rok.
Im a bit of a dubstep noob to be honest. It clicked when i saw Vex’d in Bham a year or so ago, but I didnt really start getting into it until i saw goth-trad in Tokyo a few months back. I love it, cos it has the rawness and bass of new school breaks, but without the tempo or bleepy bloopy cheesiness. Some breaks stuff doesnt age well. Dave Tipper is still my all time favourite musician though – awesome stuff.

I was thinking of getting some of Goth’s older albums, but they sound a lot different to what he does now. Plus, amazon.jp is all in japanese! Any idea if hes doing a new album with a more dubstep sound? Hes got enough ace material to do so…!
