Love Does Not Exist

January 15, 2010 · 22 Comments

I’m adrift on my new couch, several weeks after dragging it into my apartment from a stranger’s dusty house across town. I’m encircled by remotes, controllers, instruction manuals. Strewn across the sofa like debris, they float like the wreckage of some entertainment catastrophe. My Street Fighter IV joystick, red and bone-white, clutches a pillow like a raft; a 360 controller blinks plaintively, until drowning. Fifteen feet away, my television beams light onto my skin, the high white moon over my living... [Read the full story]

The Love of an Anime

March 13, 2007 · Leave a Comment

I realized this morning that the way I feel about Death Note could best be described as romantic affection. As embarrassing as it is to put this into words, it’s simply the best language I have to define my complete obsession with the show. I have now had three nights of dreams set in the world of Kira, and am leaping over my couch to get to the next chapter whenever the previous one comes to an end. Relax, I’m not going to redesign my website or start cosplaying as Ryuk. I don’t feel ownership of the characters,... [Read the full story]

MegaBot Premieres Online!

September 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Do you like Power Rangers? I do. That’s why I auditioned for MegaBot, an original series that asks the question: How long can the Rangers keep fighting the same monsters before they start hating each other? From the Megabot.Tv website: Seven years ago, five attractive, multi-ethnic students from Anytown High discovered mystical PowerSleeves.

The Tokyo Games Show, Day 1

September 28, 2007 · 1 Comment

Thursday morning, at the blistering hour of 6:30, I staggered into the shared bathroom of the Andon Ryokan and began to curl my hair. Smash to: 7:30, as I threw down some cinnamon-set French toast (this was the only Andon breakfast I’d get, regrettably). SLAM! By 8, I was on a train bound for the MAKUHARI MESSE convention center, tagging along with several of my new friends. We got to the Tokyo Games Show at 10ish, and I dashed off to my first interview. I missed running into just about everyone from the magazine, and... [Read the full story]
