    Japan

    Golden week is just a bunch of holidays in one week, most Japanese couldn't tell you what the holidays are for (I asked in all my lessons, barely any of them knew) Most people take the week off work. 99% of places are still open, but traveling by Shinkansen is super expensive, if you can even...

    DOTA 2

    I'm done with Dota until they get rid of this mute bullshit. Play with a team of Brasilians, on US west, and you don't speak Spanish? All report! You can't play properly for 24 hours!

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That happens when you don't read the scope of beta test page and miss the level skip from 10-15 All the 15-17 quests are in other cities, so you'll have nothing to do but grind instances/fates/hunter log until level 18

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Myself, Sean, Kaosu and a Japanese random absolutely /killed/ the final instance today. We refined our speed run down to 8 minutes, with about 15 bits of loot. We're all decked as fuck now.

    Gun control

    Japan is not a western country.

    Gun control

    It's only ignorance if they are wrong. Compared to Japan, the US /is/ a country of violence and guns. They probably have you beat on racism though. I sat through 20 minutes the other day of my grocer telling me how untrustworthy the Chinese are.

    Gun control

    I assure you, Japanese movies are just as bad when it comes to violence. The Japanese education system is good enough to not churn out people who believe in Hollywood

    Gun control

    I have no interest in going to the US, for many reasons, but the amount of guns there is up there on the list. The article specifically mentions Japan, and he's right, many young Japanese consider the US to be a country of guns, violence and racists. You can thank 8 years of Bush and fox news...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The storyline quests were cut off at level 15 where it was really starting to get interesting, and the removal of cutscenes hurt what was there. I was really starting to get into it though. Also you might want to check out the FF14 beta forums, you can get a link to them from the log in...

    Never installed one and I don't have a layout directory in my cfg directory. This is getting annoying

    DOTA 2

    I also have a bug where I'm not able to see new heros. Medusa is in the top left away from the other heros, and troll warlord, slark, timbersaw (all the new heroes) aren't on my pick list in grid mode. I wonder if they are connected

    Just reinstalled dota, having issues with the game crashing to desktop, anyone know is this is a common thing lately or just me?

    SimCity

    I get the feeling this game is far more fun to read about than it would be to play. Or try to play, as the case may be.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    I wouldn't know, I don't dine in high end restaurants. Why bother when the cheap food is so good here. I did notice a 15% on an American restaurant I went to, but I considered that an American thing not a Japanese thing. Closest I ever go to tipping is when I tell a delivery guy or taxi...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    No, I never tip, because in my countries (Australia and Japan) a tip is always refused, and usually considered insulting. We pay our servers and delivery people minimum wage, which is around $10-15 an hour Service certainly doesn't suffer, especially in Japan

    The Superpower Thread

    It's not about the speed, it's about the ability to redirect anything. Punched in the face? Redirect the force back on the guy so they punch their own face. Explosions, bullets - he can set it to auto-mode so even if you don't have reaction time, it still gets deflected. Touch something and...

    Vector manipulation. Dude can use it in all kinds of amazing ways. Apologies for the shitty music. Either that or some kind of regeneration power that made me effectively immortal and immune to any kind of lasting damage.

    Got blasted by snow in Tokyo yesterday and I had to walk through it 3 times, then my student cancelled. Got paid anyway but couldn't you have fucking cancelled half an hour earlier? Heavy snow in Tokyo injures 400, paralyses traffic

    Japan

    Yikes ok, I amend, it's possible if you want to live like a rockstar. Who pays 1000 USD a night for a Ryokan or 500 USD a night for a hotel when you can get 80% of the quality for 25% of the price?

    Go to a bar in Roppongi. Pick a girl. The bar sluts are easy to single out. She'll take you home, wash you, fuck your brains out all night, let you sleep as long as you want, feed you breakfast, wash you again, then you will never see her again. These kinds of girls are the only Japanese...
