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...

What's your favorite game soundtrack? #GJAsks

The GameCube Animal Crossing. Nothing else sounds like it, and it doesn't ever really get old to me. If anything, sometimes it's just a little too relaxing for when I need to work quickly.

Looks like KniteBlargh is blasting off agaaaain! •ᴧ•

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

Ocean-themed check patterns I made on a whim for my shops.

In some ways, it worked better in theory than in practice. Depending on the product, it's hard to show enough for the checker look while keeping the details.

----- Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Couple more photos of my friend Eddie the eyed click beetle.

I wish the camera had focused better on its cute little face, but ah well, I tried my best.

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...

Completed a survival run in No Man's Sky to get that one achievement for reaching the center of the galaxy.

This was a screen I took while taking a little break. LOL

Now I'm working on reaching the center on permadeath mode.
