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...

An origami dog I mailed to a friend recently. This one was more complicated than I was expecting. Not really difficult, just deceptively minimal looking.

Anyway, hope you all have a lovely weekend! Stay awesome!

To collect this sticker pack, fill up 7 charge orbs by completing daily quests, and then place a charged sticker on any of my posts.

Hope you enjoy!

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

Forget all of my other art.

This is the real art.

Hope you're all doing well today!

(Included in the movie realm since Gulliver's UFO appeared in the Animal Crossing anime movie... Which I happen to own on DVD. )

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...

Creosote is resisting the urge to pounce.
