Good evening, Kotaku readership. Been on any interesting trips lately? Have something you need to get off your chest? Looking for stimulating non-video game related chatter? This post is for you.
Who out there in Kotaku-land is going to Tokyo Game Show this year? I am! So is Mr. Ashcraft, naturally. But since Iāve got a bit of a vacation hangover, Iām keeping my stay overseas brief. I think this is my sixth trip to Tokyo, so Iām thinking ābeen there, done thatā a little too much. Anyone out there have some insider tips about how to make travel in Tokyo fun this year?
