The Geek visits Japan...kinda
This past Saturday, I was so very graciously invited to be a guest on the Dai-Cast podcast inter-ma-web-o-tron show at tiltyhouse.com
The hosts of Dai-Cast, Ian Horner, Jason Hill, Eryn Dearden, and Brendan "Beej" Dery strap on the ol' headsets and launch into Skype for a podcast that covers what's going on in Japan and current Japanese culture.
Now, most geeks in general tend to be utterly fascinated by the magical land of Nihon because two extremely popular geek pastimes, video games and anime, come mostly from there. But did you know there's actually more to Japan than dating sims, Pocky, and Super Sentai shows? (I said SENTAI, that's an S there, get your mind out of the gutter.) Yeah, it turns out that it's actually a whole country to itself with it's own people and customs and stuff.
Come along with me on this magical journey into Parts Unknown.
Wait, I think I can be an even more typical ethnocentric American jerk for you. I have to represent my country dutifully, right?
Ok, here goes.
Haha, those sumo guys wear diapers.
Oh man, I'd so be going to hell if there actually was such a place.
Anyway, check out the show over at the Tiltyhouse and learn a thing or two. I know I did.
What say you?!
