Crazy Games
Alright, Ben and Cibbuano have made some posts of crazy things that don't usually make their way over here (Brack condoms, "da buo" and such). So to respond, I have a couple funny (both "ha-ha" funny and "I don't think I should eat that cheese, it looks funny" funny) examples of my own to share.First of all, a Japanese fighting game mentioned over at Inverted Castle where your opponent continually recovers her health unless you humiliate her with candid upskirt panty shots. See video evidence (mildly nsfw) here.
Secondly, a Star Wars maniac who wanders around Tokyo wearing a storm trooper uniform.Third, well just go to Engrish.com and amuse yourself. I can't really think of anything else.
Personally I can't say that I saw anything "crazy" when I was in Japan. It was just really, really clean. Oh, and people only need these tiny little locks for their bikes, no D or U locks required. Crime rates are so low... it's CRAZY!
I admit to being easily amused by the "Fukin fried rice" (only $6.50!) they sell at the food court by my work.
Another neat video, a live-action version of "Shenmue". If you haven't played Shenmue, I can't stress how amazing it was - especially considering it came out on Dreamcast. I would consider getting a used Dreamcast just to play that game, unless they do a remake of it on another newer console. But I have too many games and not enough time as it is... so Shenmue will have to wait.
EDIT: Another crazy thing in Japan I heard about but forgot. "Maid" cafes. The waitresses dress up like maids from some Japanese animation or game, and address clients as "Master". They get on their knees and stir milk into your tea. For some geeks (otaku), this is as close as they get to a real girl. Maybe it isn't so far off from a "Hooters"? Personally I don't mind attractive girls in sexy uniforms serving me (although maid uniforms are not my "cup of tea" bwahaha), but I would feel self-consciously creepy if I started to enjoy being called "Master".

What is Shenmue? I look on Wikipedia, and it seems like it's a Japanese Morrowind, but with martial arts and mini-games...
That first game sounds like one of those Hentai games, that I've assumed would be too silly to download, but I've always secretly been curious about. But, I like to not have to invest much time or effort into my pornography.
Ugh, coffee just does not do well for my stomach (or, as Blight would call it, his "tummy"). ;P
Oh yeah, and wearing a Storm Trooper outfit all the time isn't weird, it's great! Think of all the ladies that guy must get ...
Storm Troopers used to be so damn cool... then George Lucas went and ruined it all by making them all clones. To me, that was a cheap way to tie into the original films...
I watched that video of that first game, with the up skirt action. Very weird. I took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Shenmue is like an adventure game, so I suppose it could be slightly related to Morrowing. It is a 3rd person rpg/adventure game with action segments (mini-games and martial arts).
The voice acting is good, and the story is really interesting. It is supposed to be a 6 part series - trying to find your father's killer.
D: Yeah it's like "Bam, Whack, *snap*, 'Excellent!'"
where bam and whack are physical violence, *snap* is flash of a camera causing emotional distress, and 'Excellent' is to be read Mortal Kombat style encouraging more physical and emotional damage.
Still strange. I get the dressed up girls, even though the "master" part is a bit weird. I think I'll stick to eating sushi off a naked girl's belly.
I'm down with that!
You didn't see anything that weird in Japan? You weren't looking.
Best thing: I saw a vending machine with porn and panties, and on the top of the machine it said, in Engrish, "PLEASE BREAK MY VAGINITY."
Sushi and naked girls???
*sound of Cibbuano running to Japan, tongue hanging out*
