Some of us at Japanator live out of our suit-cases -- okay, maybe just Dale does, but I'd like to think I'm a close second -- so it might not come as much of a surprise that we'll be spending the next few weeks in Tokyo for TGS. Dale had alluded to this the other month, but we'll be seeing some sights, and eating some amazing food. We might even end up visiting a hostess club -- who knows.
Assuming we're not having too much fun, we'll try to share some of those experiences as the days go on. Both of us are coming equipped with some sweet cameras, so at least there will be some photos, if not videos.

Sounds cool! I just hope it isn't like last year where it seemed like not a whole damn lot was going on (well, except for that one dude that said something like "Japan is finished!". That was pretty gnarly).
Oooo video coverage will be REAL nice. I especially want to see the Last Guardian and FFvs13 (if they are gonna be there.) :) And of course the booth babes ^_^
Maybe it's just me, and I'm pretty sure I already said something like this before, but here I go:
I don't care much about TGS. At least, not here on Japanator. We already have Dtoid for games, and TGS is pretty gloomy, with all the talk about Japan dying a slow and painful death.
I think it would be awesomener (like that's an actual word...) if the Jtor team just cover japanese places and weirdness. *HINT* Hostess Club! *HINT
I'd be glad with just some photos from random streets...
live comments!
