Mind-numbing facts relating to Speed Racer's Japanese title follow... Enter at your own risk.


(1) In Japan, Speed Racer's title = Mach ("mahha") GoGoGo.
(2) The Japanese name for the main character, Speed Racer, = Go Mifune.
(3) "Go" = 5 in Japanese.
(4) "Go" in English = to move or proceed.
(5) Go Mifune's car's name = Mahha-go.
(6) The Japanese character pronounced "go" in Mahha-go does not mean 5, but actually means "item number."
(7) Taking the above into consideration, the show's title, Mahha GoGoGo, means "Mach-go Go Mifune Go!"
(8) The M on Speed Racer's helmet can both stand for his Japanese surname "Mifune" and "Mahha-go."
(9) Similarly, the G on Speed's shirt could stand for his first name "Go," or even be a reference to the number 5.
(10) Gogogo is a general Japanese sound effect for rumbling.

I know some of you think the Game Jolt staff is full of puns, and yes we are, but my goodness if this isn't on a completely different level...

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well today.

I'm currently working on designing a floral motif for an art nouveau surface pattern challenge. This is what I have so far, but it's still very rough, as you can tell. Fun to make, though!

Looks like KniteBlargh is blasting off agaaaain! •ᴧ•

... Wait, that's from the wrong anime.

Hope everyone had a good weekend! I came down with influenza last Thursday night, so not doing too well right now, but I am making slow progress. Stay well, everyone!

Hold on to your seat, Grandpa! I'm determined to catch up with my notifications!

Little doodle of Creosote for your feed.

I was splitting firewood with a friend all day. Busy busy! Hope you're all doing well and have a lovely weekend!

My image host was trying to tell me that my collection of Speed Racer gifs suddenly didn't exist, and I was PANICKING. Wound up just being some weird glitch solved by signing out and signing back in. Phew...

Silly doodle.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'm planning on spending a little bit of time with friends, but the leaves are coming down so hard right now, most of my weekend will probably be spent cleaning up. LOL It's fun, though.

Take care!
