I was hopelessly addicted to the carreer mode of the last game for a summer. Something about it was incredibly relaxing. Of course that was broken by incredible frustration when my team kept throwing away matches when I wasn't on the field.
@tomaussie: It's a rule that's been explicitly restated recently, they're going to police it pretty hard. I'm always happy to taste Vettel's sweet sweet tears. Glad to see Ricciardo on the podium, but really having 3 of the top 5 positions defined by penalties is nuts. The Ferrari and Red Bull dynamic is the whole reason to watch at the moment, hopefully they can pull Mercedes back next season to make it a 6 car battle.
Stay at or get a day pass at a traditional bath house. There's a bunch nearby in Hakone. Kyoto is a long trip for one day but definitely doable for a night. Nikko has some of the temple feel and is closer to Tokyo. Check if the ghibli museum is open when you're there, it's pretty cool. Matsumoto has a sweet castle. So. Many. Things.
I can't begin to count the hours I've spent listening to his voice or watching his affable antics on video. I can't quantify the impact he had on my life. I can't express my sadness at his passing.
But I can say my thoughts are with everybody close to him. I can remember and cherish the happiness he brought. I can keep the part of myself that he helped mold.
Safe travels Ryan, from our little corner of the internet to wherever you end up.
There's a whole lot to do all around Japan. If you're looking for a good wandering historical/romantic city Kyoto is perfect. From there you could catch a train to any number of places. Spend the night at a secluded Ryokan with a private onsen (hot spring bath). Go to Den Den town in Osaka and Shibuya / Akihabara in Tokyo. Go to a baseball game. Go snorkelling in Okinawa. Go skiing in Nagano if that's your thing. Go see Sumo.
In a little over 5 weeks I will be embarking on a trip to Japan, during which I plan to stage a less hectic (arguably less fun) raid. So far, my only aim is to get a Super Famicom with 2 controllers and a copy of Tetris Battle Gaiden. I've come to you today to ask; what else should be added to my raid objectives? Anything weird, fun or obscure worth looking for?
