Episode 28 – Playing Initial D




Finding Japan show

Summary: <br> Video killed the podcast star. Well, I’m certainly no star, so I guess I have nothing to worry about.<br> Today’s episode comes in video form. This little gem has been on my hard drive for over 2 months! Finally time to get it out as I rev up for some more audio goodness. In this episode, you can watch me play Sega Initial-D, my <a href="https://www.findingjapan.com/2007/04/07/173/">favorite arcade game</a> at the moment. Why is it my favorite? Well because I have a little Initial-D IC card license that allows me to save my progress. So it’s much more satisfying to know that my 100円 coins are going to a pointless accomplishment that can be tracked, rather than just a pointless activity.<br> Caution, this is poorly edited and for video game nerds only. Editing my camera phone footage doesn’t exactly jive with Final Cut Pro at the moment. But do check out the vibration effect from the camera phone. It’s like you’re really there playing the game with me! (^_^)<br>
