So that's what happens when you drop your Samsung Galaxy SIII from the 3rd floor balcony onto a rubber mat on the 1st floor... oops.

Perhaps it's time for a fresh lick of paint... - out in Ichinoe city.

OK wait... so is it rust or just brown paint meant to look like rust...?

Ichinoe is on the out-skirts of Tokyo so while it's not a 'rural' area, it still has enough extra space for a couple small farming spots.

Sitting here, doing some work on the computer, belly full of amazingly good steak, salad and rice... then suddenly WHAM... my 32-floor building starts swaying back and forth.

Thanks Mr. M6 earthquake for making me and several other friends motion-sick. Now f*ckoff and go hit somewhere that deserves it.

The first time --any-- of these players (243) ever played 'Terminator' - this was the rush to get 'away' from the 2 players with mini-guns & the other 4 with M249's that were slowly walking in their direction.

The last 10 players standing after a 1-hour hunting session received their choice of either a brand new Tokyo Marui FN P90 High-Cycle, TM Steyr AUG HC, TM HK416 or custom-tuned (by First Factory) TM Recce Rifle. Sadly, I didn't win and there were only 3 left. Talk about honest players eh?

Airsoft Ruger Mini-14... very nice. - The maker is CMC with a wood stock that takes M16 magazines. From what I understood, it's electric, comes with the scope and is 74,000 yen.... ouch.
