I am in fact not dead and made it here to the land of the Rising Sun in one piece. Seeing midday sunlight for over 12 hours is pretty trippy. I have made a discovery; Japanese hotel rooms are in fact very small. Holy shit are they small.
ALSO: The plane surprised me and played Speed Racer during the 'night' and you fuckers lied to me. Specifically Jeewan. That movie was the goddamn perfect Speed Racer experience in every way shape and form. Well, okay... it was perfect Speed Racer sandwiched inbetween two F-Zero tech demos, the latter just a bit inspired by that Katsuhiro Ôtomo short 'Running Man.' You know, the one they played on Liquid Television.
That rally race, though? Come on. Fucking awesome. Racer X flipped his car over another car to punch a crazed Viking racer dude in the fucking face. Read that sentence again. I'll wait here while your head explodes due to rad.
