What Games Are You Playing? August 15, 2015

August 15, 2015

It's a week of holidays known as "Obon" in Japan. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were days off for a lot of people, especially those not in service industries like gas stations and restaurants; those guys were a whole lot more busy instead of less busy. Today and tomorrow will be likewise, as people head back home to their usual commitments.

The neighbor came over and played some Mario Kart 7 with me and some international visitors. Only those of us with JP region 3DS systems could link up, which is stupid, but we got by. Now time for a weekend full of multiplayer classics.
