Hey guys, I'm in fucking Japan!

It's amazing. We should 100% do Heggfest 2013 here.

An old man in the subway station told me yesterday that I am a giant in Japan. Thanks old man.

Hit the jackpot and found some Belgian beer here. Got incredibly drunk on Westmalle, Duvel and sake last night and played darts with a Japanese guy. Also yesterday I drank from a wish fulfilment spring at kiyomizu-dera, a temple up in the hills of kyoto, met some monks, helped some Japanese schoolchildren with their English homework, sat cross legged eating soya bean curd and udon and searched in vain for something on my map called 'an image of love between student and teacher' in maruyama park.

Pretty amazing so far. No Street Fighter yet.

I went to Kiyomizu! Twice! It is best, and a shop about halfway up the hill down a side street to the left sells the only incense I have ever liked the smell of.

I've never had enough time in Kyoto, but what little I saw was tremendous. Get to Kinkakuji if you can - a golden temple in the countryside a little way out of town IIRC.

Where else are you going? And where are you staying when you get to Tokyo?

My keyboard broke a couple of days ago. I have a new one now.

Things:

1) I am going to Meat Liquor tomorrow. Please to be recommending something delicious Mr. Haggar.

2) I went down the underhanded and spiteful route re: the internet and just went into the router settings and turned the wireless off so I could do uninterrupted street fighting. I turned it off for thirty seconds then put it back on afterwards, and it kicked people off for long enough for them to give up and go to bed/not wake up and reconnect/restart their downloads as I hoped it would. I did lots and lots of glorious lag-free Streetfighting over the past couple f days and clawed my way back into the 3,000PP club. Also fought loads of randoms in endless battle random select and had a grand old time. It was good.

3) I got Tokyo Jungle and Journey for my PS3. My poor, dusty old PS3. Waiting for things to install and various other hassles reminded me why I rarely use it but both games are lovely. Journey is spectacular and Tokyo Jungle is the right balance of insane and addictive. I managed to survive for thirty years in my second run as a Pomeranian, though the last five were spent wandering around in the smog, watching each of my little dogs starve to death and succumb to toxicity in turn. Bleak.

Well, that's Ocsober out the window. Went to the greyhounds at Wimbledon and got royally pissed. Anyway, got home and played some drunk fighter. Remember this guy?

He joined me again. Same matchup (Rose v Seth), same result, and he sent the same message. I can't decide if he's a witty chap who remembers me, or a weird dude who says that to all the girls to make them feel special.

I also got beaten twice by a really shitty T Hawk and it made me so mad.

What is this ridiculous game.

Ok, I am back. Between this paragraph and the last I watched a trailer for this ridiculous game and I think I saw a kangaroo punch a lion.

It's really rather fun, plus it has that survival mode/score attack one more go factor that I am powerless to resist. I unlocked the alley cat today, though I am now somewhat attached to the Pom after initially being dismissive of one of the more pathetic breeds of domestic dog on offer. When you and your posse of third generation canine scrappers team up to take down a much larger and more menacing wolf you start to grow fond of the little rascals.

Here's the first big batch of patch notes for SFxTekken on Event Hubs:

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2012/oct/19/street-fighter-x-tekken-v2013-patch-notes-pt-1/

I've only skimmed it; seems like Ibuki's standing light punch has shorter range? Unless the hitbox was reduced in some other way. It was already that little bit shorter than SSF4, which put me off my stride with her a little.

I'll probably come back to this after the patch to give it another go. I think I only really tried a handful of characters, so there's a lot of game still left for me to play.

1- Buffalo Chicken Burger, Fried Pickles- Top Tier, Dead Hippy, Onion Rings. - High Tier, Philly/Chilli Cheese Frees- Middle Tier. I would use character names here to make it more funny but I don't know who is what anymore, like I was going to say Queues- Hakkan Tier! Hahahaha! But yeah...

2- Please tell the waitresses there that story, you might get a phone number and even extra blue cheese dip

3- Nothing to say about the PS3, except that it is black and if you take it to meat liquor with you, watch it because it is dark and you might lose it.

Uzi did you just put the chicken burger ahead of the dead hippy. you complete madman. You're right about the pickles though, godlike. Last night I had a dead hippy, the chilli cheese fries, fried pickes and the onion rings. The blue cheese dip with the fried pickles is the best thing. the onion rings are geuinely absurd and are like the size of a donut. the chilli on the chilli cheese fries always amazes me, they somehow get it just hot and tangy enough. and the bread that they put the burgers in is an unsung masterpiece.

The drinks are also pretty good. I had a negroni before the food to whet my appetite, and they do a totally fine negroni. But then it's kinda hard to get wrong really. As for drinks to have with the meal, either go with a beer or try the rum grog, it's sweet enough that it works quite well with the burgers.

also, on my way to that nathan barley media night on thursday, I stopped off at 69 colebrooke row and had the single most pretentious drink I've ever had. It was this:

wild. It was really nice though.

Good news right at the start I see:

Abel

• Command change - Shoulder Tackle changed from (charge, forward+P) to (charge, forward+K)

For some reason I often did the tackle by mistake when trying to go for Change of Direction combos... :P

Psst. Who wants to know a Meat Liquor secret? Genuine spoilerz ahead.

They just add shitloads of vinegar to everything!

Not saying it's bad or anything, and I guess I need to try the Buffalo chicken, but........ I can't help but think it every time I eat there now. Also the decor is really, really dumb.

The cocktails are good. I just don't tend to go there around serious drinkin' times o' th' day as I don't think it's worth the queue after the first visit.

I think you should get both burger and lobster and then report back in excruciating detail. I am going to a party in an east London hovel tonight.

imp would have loved it.

I've never had enough time in Kyoto, but what little I saw was tremendous. Get to Kinkakuji if you can - a golden temple in the countryside a little way out of town IIRC.

Where else are you going? And where are you staying when you get to Tokyo?

Sadly we won't have time for Kinkakuji. Tomorrow we're doing the Fushimi Inari shrine. Monday we go to Tokyo. Today we went to Arashiyama to see the snow monkeys which was amazing. We also went to Tenryuji temple and the Kitasaga bamboo grove. Then we went to Kodai-ji temple in the evening as they had some special night in where the gardens are all lit up which was pretty awesome. Finished the day off with a massive pile of tempura in a restaurant near our hotel in southern Higashiyama.

We'll be staying in the Sunroute Plaza in shinjuku. I've enjoyed Kyoto so much I feel a bit sad that we're leaving so soon.

Japanese people are so helpful it makes me feel guilty. I've been trying to speak Japanese as much as possible. Also, today I looked at games in a Book-off. It's hard work browsing games when all the spines are written in hiragana, kanji and katakana.

If you take the western exit from Shinjuku station there's a six-floor Yodabashi Camera hobby shop (not the main Yodabashi - it's on the next corner) that's all videogames and toys and is excellent. Beware the top floor as you've got kids with you though, it's all porn and hentai up there. You'll be alerted to it by the enormous poster of a girl swathed in tentacles frigging herself furiously at the bottom of the stairs. Careful!

Turn right out of there then wander for a bit - cant remember the precise directions - and you'll find a Club Sega on a corner. Three or four floors, maybe even five, and the basement is ALL fighting games. Try to do it after dinner and it'll be full of dudes who've just knocked off from work, suit jackets slung over their shoulders waiting for their turn. It's quite amazing.

Oh and between the tube and Ueno Park - which is full of homeless feeding stray cats - there's the greatest toy shop in the world. And go to Harajuku to gawk at cyberpunks (in 2006, anyway - probably all hipsters now). Enjoy! I am jealous. I leave Mexico in a few hours :(

*windmills*

Stayed there while I was on honeymoon. Lovely place, can't recommend it highly enough. The Italian restaurant just down the road was really charming too, though this was in 2008 :) Hope you're having a great time.

Back on topic, I'm doing slow roast lamb neck for dinner today. I got a load from a really ace butcher that's not too far from the heggfest tube station. Added onions, carrots, garlic, capers, anchovy, rosemary and loads of oil and seasoning. going to give it about 6 hours in the oven and then have it with dauphinoise potatoes. I'm quite excited.

Street fighter!
