On today’s episode of Bad Communication we relive an old video game classic and round up some of the most interesting stories out of Japan over the past week. Some of them include a bit about the recent anti-nuke protests in Tokyo, the two new gaming systems from SONY and Nintendo, the effort to save ‘cat island’, a special thanks to Hikosaemon, an interesting fusion of manhole cover and toilet and a floating orb that looks remarkably like the interrogation droid from Star Wars. Thanks to everyone who sent me birthday wishes! I’m looking forward to another year with you all!

Is she a fox? Is she a type of udon? While these questions remain unanswerable, we do discuss some of our favorite games of the past year, talk about some stuff we’re looking forward to in 2011, find out what getting your haircut and racism have in common, we cover our manholes in style, talk about the future of the web and sing the toilet song. It’s actually quite a sad song. This episode of Bad Communication is anything but, though!
