    Wow, just now finally able to catch my breath.  Things have been a whirlwind as of late.

    We last left you with an invite to the MOCA to celebrate the release of SF4 (on Capcom’s dime, of course).  Holy shit, dude… we didn’t think ALL of you would show up.  It was a madhouse!  It got so bad our friend/guest artist Steve Barron, who worked his ass off for three days on our Akuma-themed cabinet, was denied entry.  Fire-marshals with axes were calling the shots.  By 8:30 PM, if you were outside, you were toast.  At least you were in good company.  G4 couldn’t even get back in.

    Then we headed to the annual fashion trade show in Vegas, MAGIC.  Las Vegas is funny.  It’s the city you are most excited going to, and the most excited to leave.  At least we got to hang with Greg and Ease from Mishka, and Simone from Tokidoki.  We also got to see one hell of a burlesque show at Forty Deuce (on Ben Sherman’s dime, of course).

    Back in LA, I ran into Greg and Ease in front of Johnny Cupcakes (with Johnny himself) on Melrose.  They extended an invite to their little going away party before they fled back to NYC.  Luckily they left behind their personal DJ, Gina Turner.  Not only did she rock the house that evening, she protected it brilliantly from an onslaught of underage ravers.  By dropping the beat and turning on the lights, she snapped them out of their K-holes and shipped them right out the door.

    Previous rumors aside, Mike figured out a way to swindle Kotaku into flying him out to TGS again this year.  I was informed too late to book my own travel arrangements, so I’m completely depressed holding down the fort here in LA.  To make the best of it, I’ve found some local things that may pacify my yearning to be checked into the Cerulean Tower with the rest of the Kotaku crew.

    I visited Waraku on Abbot Kinney Blvd. this afternoon.   Not quite the same as shopping in Ginza or Takeshita-dori in Harajuku, but it is definitely a taste.

    Speaking about taste, we have an oddly flavored candy, newly introduced in the States, that would give any bizzaro-candy in Japan a run for its money (who am I kidding?  Japan makes burger shaped chocolate-filled cookies called EveryBurger.)  The item I’m referring to is Ice Breakers Iced Tea Lemon flavored mints.  It’s like mainlining a spoonful of Lipton Iced Tea mix.

    And with a couple clicks, I was perusing some homegrown videogame cosplay that will tide me over til I get back out to TGS (or Mike posts some of his pic’s).  This anonymous 4chan’er is creating quite simply a masterpiece with his version of Tyrael.

    I’ll be hanging out on Sawtelle Blvd. a lot this week, drowning my sorrows in sake if anyone wants to join me.

    Welcome to the neighborhood, Johnny!  It’s good to see a fellow Bostonian migrate over to the West Coast and open up shop.  It’s amazing we’re still welcome after what the Celtics did to Kobe.

    Johnny Cupcakes’ new shop on Melrose Ave. is really worth a trip.  It had better be, people lined up 4 days in advance for the Grand Opening.  What they were treated to inside was an extra helping of attention to detail, with a side wall of vintage ovens opening randomly while releasing steam, and refrigerated display cases housing fresh shirt designs.

    I had the same smile on my face upon finding this in my inbox.

    Chris Kohler from WIRED got to hang out with the Man himself, Shigeru Miyamoto. Chris and Clive Thompson got to stomp on the Wii Fit board and have promised to delight readers in print and online with full coverage of every calorie burned.

    We are honestly flattered in your choice of attire, Chris. Expect a “thank you” package in the mail soon!

    It seems someone alerted the Internet hive that the Meat Bun site is now live. That means thousands of visitors will now descend on the site, and like a plague of locusts, eat up the tender shirts we have been hording for our friends and girlfriends.

    All kidding aside, welcome! The grocery store is this way. Let us know what you think!

    Although I’d personally never wear a teabag image on my clothing, I like the direction the gang at Pure Pwnage is going with their new line of shirts. Reserved leet. And you know it’s time to change it up when Wikipedia maps out the orthography of leetspeak. The release of these shirts coincides with the release of Episode 16 in Canada. Yes, Canada. The rest of the planet will get to see it on March 8.

    Not sure if they’ll ever top their Dave shirt though.
