    Just order this adapter to use my xbox controller on the PS3, since I've always thought the PS3 controller is uncomfortable.

    Just a reminder that you'll get a ton of shit if you ever plan on going to Japan with tattoos.
    Really? What kind of BS? I want to go to Japan sometime and I gotta a tattoo.

    Someone else has probably already explained it better than I will, but it boils down to the the trend/tradition among Yakuza to have elaborate tattoo work done (I think it stems from prisoners being tattooed.). The end result being that you'll get kicked out of any public bath or hot spring for even the smallest tattoos as well as being looked at funny in general.

    I've found out that this is not necessarily true, if A)You're foreign, and not asian-looking and B)It's a very obviously western style tattoo.
  • Too soon?

    It's never too soon in the internet generation.

    You might do alright as a tourist but trying to fit into Japanese society, I could see any tattoo being a problem. But what do I know.

    You know plenty - However, I can only speak from tourist perspective, because other than Fred, I only know touristy sorts - but even the heavily tattooed ones never had trouble getting into Onsen - EXCEPT for James, who is Japanese by blood, and has only three tattoos.

    I thought I was going crazy when I first noticed that in the manga, good thing I'm not the only one. =w=

    Yes, Timo's baby is very cute, but what does that have to do with anything?

    Um, no, I counted the posts from the top, you perma'd the wrong one. Or maybe PMs mess up the post counts on pages, because I can't even find an Axe Cop/Dr. Mcninja anything on that page.

    [Edit] Yeah, it's on page 201 for me.

  • Yeah, that's probably to do with the size of this thread and the number of whispered comments.

    I hear it can be a +10 to your Gaijin Power stat, in the same way that I've heard that no one fucks with visiting foreigners with partial finger amputations.

    That depends on whether they include dead ones or not.

    Why never to ask favours from the designers

    Funny, but if it's true, that guy was a total douche. So he was too busy to make a simple poster because clients had work for him, but he wasn't too busy to make an extended joke and be an asshole?

    I thought it was more because someone was so dumb she couldn't make something so simple that it could have been done in paint or ms word so he was an asshole about it.

    He obviously had enough time to be a total douchebag to this lady, so he didn't have enough work to do. If he was really mad about her wasting his time, he would have just given her the poster and been done with it, rather than waste his time trolling.

    But trolling was so much more fun.
