Hoo boy that voice acting for Gary. It's the equivalent of some bad Japanese stereotype from an 80's cartoon. Couldn't spring for an actual foreign actor for once?
Always a pleasure to read Brad's writing. There's a lot less of it these days, and that probably makes me appreciate it more. Fantastically written list.
Goddamn Tokyo Banana, everyone always asks for it whenever I go to Tokyo and there are so many better souvenir sweets. I mean, it makes sense for this feature, but within Japan the obsession is just odd.
Uppercase tags, table-based layout, attribute styles. It's only missing the <blink> tag, and that's probably because it doesn't work anymore. That being said, I think it's kind of amazing that modern browsers will render this stuff the same as they ever did.

This doesn't come across in the video at all, but as someone who saw this in person at TGS, Sony Japan have to be congratulated for having a woman present on stage dressed as a normal person, and not entirely as eye-candy.
