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...

Here's a photo from one of my recent walks! I think daffodils have to be one of the most welcome sights after a long cold winter.

It's chilly again today, but I have the wood stove fired up and cranking out the heat! Hope everyone's doing well.

Little timelapse of one of my Blobcat illustrations for you.

Have a lovely weekend, all!

No pranks from me.

Just a reminder that Blarghfield exists.

Lasagna.

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

【Bandit Trap】

I... Uh... I definitely knew how to use the jackhammer...

Here's #MyBandit and #MyTrapper from Bandit Trap! Only changed a couple items from the immediate outfits that are available, but I like them this way. I prefer playing bandit currently.

Hope you're all having a good weekend so far!

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...

I was invited to the final beta playtest on Steam for Bandit Trap. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the Game Jolt outfit!

Like, this logo I designed back in 2010 is in a video game on Steam. Wuh? Trying to wrap my head around that.
