If he's there for a week, a walk up Fuji would take up a lot of time, if done properly. I went to catch the sunrise, which meant I took a bus from Tokyo at around 6 pm, arrived at the mountain at around 9 pm and reached the top at around 3 or 4 am, which is way to fast, by the way. The two hours I waited for the sun to rise at 6 am. were horrible because of the altitude sickness. I would recommend you bring cash, because since I didn't have any, I had to walk down the entire mountain in loose gravel, fighting sunstroke, and was lucky enough to have a random, passing taxi driver pick me up and get me to a bus station. I got back to Tokyo at around noon and slept until the next morning. So, the trip took me a little over a day, which I could spend since I was there for a few weeks. Granted, with better preparation than mine, Jeff could make it quite quick and comfortable for himself, but it's still quite a lot of time out of a week.

I like the really excited, exploding "DESU!" In the bubble by her shoulder.

Chopin's got them hot beats like whut, is why.

Seriously, though, he's not my favorite (that goes to Beethoven... Piano Sonata No. 14/"Moonlight Sonata" is my favorite classical piece), but he's definitely up there.

Big ups. Even though Chopin and Rachmaninoff are more of favourites of mine, simply based on the entirety of their work, Moonlight Sonata is at the top for me as a single composition.

@Penzilneck: which song is it exactly that's in The Phantom Pain trailer?

Finally found it, and it's his Etude Op. 10 No. 12. The notable part sounds at about the 0:13 mark.

There are loads of videos of more quality, but I'm just seriously impressed with this guys finger work. All versions I find are in C minor, but in the Phantom Pain trailer it's in a lower, more somber sounding key.

Classical music in general is pretty great and also it's public domain. You'd be shocked how much of it you've heard over the years. If you're old enough to have watched looney toon cartoons youtube some classical music and enjoy.

Oh yes, I'm very well aware of the omnipresence of classical music in the craziest corners of culture. Cleverly used classical music makes some of my favourite moments in Looney Tunes and such.

@ThePickle In my local wine shop. She shops there now and then, and yearly I help her clear out our shelves of champagne. Last month my dad did a charity gig with her in a library close to my place, and last week she was DJ-ing in a lounge I went to for a drink, simply because she felt like it. It's fairly easy to run into her or any of the members of Sigur Rós or Of Monsters and Men around town when you live in such a small place.

@Penzilneck: If it is mirrored, then that would be an American style vehicle, and it's the right arm that is missing.

The mystery deepens!

But then the UK flag would again make less sense, unless it's there because the patient is in fact British and now I've gone cross-eyed.

Liquid does sound British...

Doctor guy and bandage face weren't British, so maybe they aren't in the UK...

I thought Liquid sounding British was the primary reason people were excited to chase that possibility. I know I am.

@ThePickle: Man, I saw Björk twice this weekend, once at my work and then again when she told my friend to "eff off" so she could "chill n' shit", so I didn't expect to see her here wearing a santa hat and discussing football.
