Had a fabulous day with former Software Creations colleague and good friend, Paul Tonge, after a 10 year gap. He's worked on the music and audio for many videogames including SNES Ken Griffey Jr. presents Major League Baseball, The Tick, Spider-Man / Venom: Maximum Carnage ( Genesis ) etc.

So funny thing in Super Momotarou Dentetsu II. In that game you move around a board, buy businesses, and those businesses pay dividends. UNLESS you buy the Hanshin Tigers (or it's non-trademark infringing stand-in). If you own them, you lose money constantly. They're the only one that does this.

Yeah, you might say that I'm using LLMs to build something pretty impressive. (Lovely Ladies Money for my Baseball Stars team.)

Stumbled across the Hanshin Tigers GameCube at Surugaya. This was a limited edition console to celebrate the team winning the Central League pennant after many years. Sadly no special Switch when they won the Japan Series a few years ago.

Anyone who played a lot of Baseball Stars a lot ought to be familiar with this play. Also, if you force two of the infielders too close together during a rundown, one will eventually throw the ball into the outfield.

I found a copy of my favorite Famicom commercial! Sound absolutely on for this. Be sure you turn your speakers all the way up, too.

The current RTA in Japan event kicked off with Major Dream Major Wii Perfect Closer. Sadly, no heads spinning around or only the catcher fielding the ball in the run, but that's because they're using other glitches to skip large portions of the story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2yw...

I always forget and then do a double take when watching “The Princess Bride” and remembering the opening scene is Accolade’s “Hardball”

Capped off an amazing Italian vacation with a Nettuno 1945s game at Stadio Steno Borghese. Concrete seating, cigarette smoke permeating the humid air, beer in glass bottles, and peanuts! A light (but passionate!) crowd punctuated a gritty comeback victory for Nettuno. FUN

Bonus bunny fact: This game is just one big Coca-Cola product placement, as such every team is "sponsored" by various drinks from their catalog like Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, etc. The rabbit team are thus named after Vegitabeta, a Japan exclusive soft drink with added beta-carotene. Now I'm thirsty!

Dolucky no Kusayakiu (1993) You can play as the Vegitabeta Devid Rollers, a soft drink sponsored rabbit baseball team. May the Konjoh be with you...

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.
