[Ngrny4]

Nice book,whoa look at all those games in the background!!!

[ChronoXen]

im gonna buy that book, the gamers of the old school know arcade culture but or sons not and this book maybe help whita that, because im so sad that consoles are killing arcades, like SF IV only on consoles here in america, like Tsunoko Vs capcom, its no the same feeling go to the arcade and kick butts, that play online, its not the same feeling.

[novanine]

Hadoken!!

[langjaikenny]

CheapyD aren't you from New York? Sticker booths are really popular here for Asian girls... they're actually all over the place in the city.

Coming here off of your podcast, keep up the good work.

cheapy d = thief that steals from his fans

[Droenixlol]

Haha... You honestly don't know what you're talking about. How can Cheapy D steal things from his fans? Seriously, he charges nothing to sign up on his site, or to listen to his podcast.

[Zerstorer23]

Random tip, if I were you Cheapy, I'd minimize the webcam's window on your screen, otherwise you're always looking at the screen and not the camera. If you get rid of the distraction it may help. MEH!

[DeeznutsFYC]

What race is Cheapy?

[fadecy]

Human ;-D

[Zerstorer23]

Whitey!

After seeing this I may very well get this book, I didn't know it was so colorful looking... kinda assumed it was all text, meh.

There you go. Haha. I've never taken a formal Japanese class of any sort, but it's just something that I've learned from watching anime, doing some general browsing of Japanese culture, etc.

[kwicksandz]

it sounds like an interesting read. I like reading about quirky Japanese culture so i shall check the local bookstores where i live.

[MattGriffis]

I might check it out.

[Ix07I]

Interesting what I'd like to know though is how you manged to get the chance to live in Japan. Aren't they closed off to most foreigners unless they have a job already lined up?

[RippedBushido]

stickerbooths!? AMAZING~!

[KazuyaTakumi]

looks like an amazing book, I might look into it when I save money after buying awesome games last week on black friday lol.

Nice review CheapyD!
