Fighting game events in Tokyo around the EVO Japan timeframe (that I know of)
2018 February and March Fighting Game Events in Tokyo I’m super excited for EVO Japan. It will be my first EVO, but I’m not sure that counts.

It is an event run by Buttonmashers and Shinobism, Momochi and Chocoblanka’s company. Tokyo Offline Party 5 had a […]

For some reason, under Ubuntu with my Intel GMA3100 onboard video things work well enough to play pacman at least (and probably others, SFA2 seemed to work well, but as always […]
