DAILY MANIFESTO

Whew, I Really Dodged Me a Bullet Right There.

Posted on Friday, November 4 @ 23:18:49 Eastern by Heath_Hindman

When Sony announced that it would take the Vita and an assload of games on a caravan tour all over Japan, allowing the commonfolk to sample games before the machine's launch, I crossed myself and prayed to Buddha that it would come nowhere near me. Take a look at the image above and you'll see that the tour skips my whole fuggin' island, requiring me to traverse the Seto Inland Sea if I wanna get in on some sweet post-TGS-but-pre-launch Vita action. Well hey thanks, divinity. I definitely don't want to check out Sony's first console release in half a decade or play any of its interesting games.

In chronological order, the tour will stop in Sapporo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Osaka, and of course, Tokyo. I had two friends come surprise me with a visit by flying into Tokyo. Again I refer to the map above as to why that was problematic. Remember to check your geography, kids. If you're visiting a friend, fly into an airport near him/her. And if you're a big company launching a caravan tour promoting your new product, make sure to not completely skip and island with over 4 million people on it.

...You are driving right past the motherfucker!

Lol. Man, it's well known Japan has FOUR major islands, skipping one in it's entirety seems pretty ridiculous. I mean, it's not like you're on Okinawa or something.

PS: If I can be your friend, my surprise visits will at least have me fly into Osaka! Unless there is an International Airport on Shikoku that I am unaware of.

Wow. You own an island with 4 million people on it. I'm impressed. Do they pay rent?

Sony can obviously read minds.
