8-4 Play: 3/20/2020: NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT

Every other week, tune into 8-4 Play for talk about video games, Japan, and Japanese video games, straight from the 8-4 offices in beautiful downtown Tokyo. Hosted by 1UP Japan's own Mark MacDonald, John Ricciardi, and Hiroko Minamoto.

Just a FYI, I enjoyed hearing how things are going with COVID-19 in Japan. I was going to go to Tokyo at the beginning of April and we had to cancel the trip. I've been checking japantoday.com and haven't seen a lot of news in the last week or so. Sounds like there's not much information going around at all there though.

More people need to watch Westworld. Season 1 is the best so far, but episode 4 of season 2 is amazing!!
