That was great, man! The Godzilla bit at the very end almost made me spew on my keyboard. I can't wait to see more!

Absolutely fantastic moment. Not a lot of game to it though, just the Dragonball Z one and the appearance of Bomberman.

Go, Go, Godzilla!
Go, Go, Godzilla!

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound he pulls the spitting high tension wires down.

Helpless people on a subway train scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down as he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say hes got to go!
Go, Go, Godzilla! Yeah!

That opening is so awesome. I don't know how you're going to top it.

It's good to know that Bomberman has recovered from that horrible "Zero" incident.

I always feel sorry for people who have to wear those character outfits, but they also get paid alot to wear them, so I envy them as well.

In case anyone is wondering, Tommy Lee Jones is apparently the cultural equivalent of Chuck Norris here. Google Image search Tommy Lee BOSS.

And yes, watching Russ dance with bomberman is as fun as it looks. Especially since he (bomberman) wasn`t dancing at all until Russ ran up and just started making him dance.

My blood sugar is so low that i resorted to licking sugar off of what i think was a doughnut (but filled with... paste of ... beats...?. They have nothing sweet here, everything is salty, spicy, or sour, no sweet.

</end update. Typing on japanese keyboard=very difficult>

Yes. We are worried about brice85. Thinking of stealing sugar packets from the coffee shop and setting up an IV.

If they continue to be this hilarious I don't know how I'm going to get work done while I'm laughing so hard. :)

The earthquake simulator is about like sitting in your chair, having someone come up behind you, and push you while saying `boo` really loud. Over and over again. Terrible for sound too.

I'm hurt, guys.

It's well known amongst people in the office here that I love giant robots. And this video clearly proves that there were giant robots in Tokyo.

And yet they brought back nothing for me. It's unfair, I tell you.
