Wow, its been an interesting couple of weeks without the Internet in my flat, but now I'm up and running at full force! I'm a little annoyed I can't play any Counter Strike over here since my ping is constantly at 300 for any UK servers, but I still have pretty much everything else, so all is well.
Classes have well and truly started up now, and this university is unrelenting with its timetable. 5 days a week, 9am starts! I'm not used to this crap. Although class is pretty fun and its all done by 12 which leaves a good amount of time to catch up with my gaming.
The arcades are still as fun as ever. I've pretty much settled on Jubeat and Mahjong 4 as my main games of choice and with those convenient stat cards I get to enlarge my e-peen with delicious stats and rankings
I also decided to cave in and get myself some PSP games while I was walking around a book store. I managed to pick up Persona 3 Portable, just because I'm a massive Shin Megami Tensei fan and another interesting little game called God Eater which looks like Namco's answer to Monster Hunter. I've yet to play either since I'm still finishing off Panzer Dragoon Saga, but all in good time.
So that is that, now I'm all set up expect the posts to come thick and fast. There's lots to tell

Arcades! Arcades everywhere!
When I'm not at home playing Panzer Dragoon Saga or crapping myself over tests and all the other stuff going on, I'm spending a good portion of my time in the arcades near the uni.
These places, are immense. I don't know about the rest of the world but in the UK, the arcades are shocking. Stuff doesn't work and the choice of games are generally balls. Here though, I've been playing DDR X2, Jubeat, Beatmania, Mahjong 4, Tekken, Street Fighter, Mushihime Sama.....the choice of games within the local area is rediculous.
The best part of all this is the little plastic cards you can get for about 400 yen that track your stats for each game. Being the massive statistics whore that I am I love this crap, although I've only got a MJ4 card and a e-musement pass so far, I feel that my wallet will have more game cards than anything else by the end.
Well, I'm gonna end this and try and get some internet set up, this shit is hard as hell.
Peace!

Japan Times! No Internet and getting generally destroyed
I was hoping to update way WAY more than this but I've not got any internet in my room so I'm pretty much devoid of internet unless I make a trek to the local cafe.
Anyway, I've had lots of orientation and shit like that, and Japan is fucking hot as all hell. It's a ton of fun though. We found a local arcade last night where we proceeded to get destroyed at Street Fighter 4, Tekken and Beatmania.
This is going to be short since I'm on a limited battery, so I'll post some more once I get this damn interent set up
Peace!
