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...

Another behind-the-scenes gif from Blender, this time of my Companion Hues avatar frame. It's actually a twisted cube mesh following a circle curve.

One of my latest avatar frames. This one was mostly inspired by Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II.

Haven't played anything else quite like that game. Would be awesome if someone came along and made a spiritual successor.

What in the world... Is bro okay???

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...

Process of my Loddlenaut fan art. A wonderful game loaded with atmosphere.
