The Off-Topic Tokyo Edition

Konnichiwa, kids. It’s nighttime at Kotaku, but here in lovely Chiba, Japan, it’s lunchtime. So maybe we can chat over lunch about all things not just video game related. Sound good?

Personally, I’m still recovering from watching Brian Ashcraft eat a huge bowl of nattō—you know, the slippery, slimy fermented soy bean treat!—at breakfast and from perhaps one too many Kirin beers. So please, carry on with the conversation, but keep it down, would ya? I’m churning a little.

The Face of Facebook – The New Yorker’s profile of Mark Zuckerberg is a good read.

YouTube Time Machine – Lets you view videos sorted by year and category. You know, for fun.

Wired magazine “is dead” – In response to Wired’s “The Web Is Dead.”

Everything is a Remix – I’m terrible at spotting samples, so I was surprised to learn how frequently Chic’s “Good Times” has been remixed.
