kang_wonseok, a fellow QoH ’99 fan, notified me about a blog post on how to run the game on Windows 10 64 bit. The following is an edited translation with kang_wonseok’s notes in italics: Note: kang_wonseok found that this method also works for Windows 8.1. Whenever there is a new OS release, it is difficult […]
I was watching Aldnoah Zero the other day, and I noticed something curious in one of the cuts during the opening song. The signage and buildings looked very familiar. After around 15 minutes of searching on google maps, I think I might have found the actual location of this cut. The signs, buildings, store fronts, […]

I was watching Joshiraku the other day, and I noticed that one of the scenes was made around the time that I was in Japan. If I had watched Joshiraku before going to Japan, I would have tried to get the exact angle (this particular episode wasn’t out at the time).
The mysterious “Hack Me!!” and “Install Procedure” signs I’ve mentioned before made another appearance in Tiger & Bunny.
