You know that hikko guy that has watched every episode of Lucky Star at least 10 times? Yea, that’s me. That all-too-spirited guy in 1st year Japanese that knows words like kakushigo but still can’t order cold soba from the joshikousei waitress? That’s me too. That 7′6″ dude on the Rockets who routinely puts up 20 and 10? Naw, that’s Yao, but hanging out with T-Mac on Jimmy Kimmel sounds pretty fun.

What’s up Ningin, I’m Jerry Chen, the new blogger from San Francisco. I’m big on anime and games and basketball and jpop, most to an obsessive degree. I think last night I had a dream where I was just chillin at the neighborhood shouten, then some girl cradling a bag of taiyaki ran into me then dragged me into some restau… wait… never mind. I tell ya, too much anime and you start wishing those anime eye contacts would come standard with every girl~

Anyways…

I used to do some anime blogging in the past, and I’m looking to continue that on Ningin. In addition, I hope to cover some of the local SF Bay Area events (gives me an excuse to leave my dark, muted room, solely illuminated by the warm glow of my lcd monitor) and any other spunky topics I come across, focusing more on sports, girly Japanese music (my guilty pleasure), and that dude from a galaxy far, far away that keeps popping up on the streets of Akihabara. My main goal as a writer is not just to tell you about what happened and what I think, but to make you feel what I feel - of course, that could completely backfire and you’ll just think I’m crazy or emo or an otaku social deviant, but hey, maybe it was at least entertaining enough to mention to your friends, classmates, pet, webkare, etc.

I look forward to being a part of the Ningin community! 大家好, よろしくお願いします!

Woot. Gamers <3


lol I love your intro. It’s really cute.

Can you speak fluent Japanese?


Welcome!


sakura: short answer, no!  i took a few years of japanese classes in college, but most of my vocabulary is still derived from anime… i have to try real hard not to add stuff like “nanodesuyo” to the end of my sentences -_-


Hahahah <3

At least you’re not like Naruto and add dattebayo to everything.


Finally another gamer blogger. I got tired of Lan’s obsession with Square Enix. ;P


Jerry, we’re excited to have you on board! I learn a lot of my Japanese via anime as well. Should I ever learn for real, I know that I would have a lot of the phrases down.


Anime is where I got all my Japanese too.


What kind of music do you listen to?


ipsd: i dunno man, i’m a pretty big final fantasy fanboy
uchiha: my current favorites… ayaka, the indigo, angela aki, mink, miliyah kato, and those two girls from macross frontier (lol)

HAHA TAKE THAT IPSD! SQUARE ENIX IS THE BEST!...^^ Glad you’re a fan too. I’m currently playing IV but can’t seem to finish it. ;_;


I was only teasing but wow you’re crazy. smile


lol Cute profile pic. Do you always look that way. ;D


I’m curious what you mean by “obsessive degree”. How would you describe that raspberry


yo, welcome.


Yay!  Another gamer and anime fan. <3 Welcome aboard!

She needs to expand her gaming options.

Which makes me wonder why kind of games do you play Jerry?


I try to stay away from stuff like WoW just cuz I know I’ll be completely sucked into it, and what little real life I have with it, considering Diablo 2 was enough to cost me a few GPA points, haha.  I just spent a good 150 hours clearing all of Disgaea on PSP, lol… I also got some FFXII videos on youtube, got a crazy max stat save file on FF Crisis Core.  my fav game in the past 2 or 3 years is probably DJ Max Portable 1 and 2 on PSP, and I play a lot of FPS games (quake, unreal, half life, etc).  got a couple of the touhou games on my laptop, too - they’re great during a boring lecture o_O


Welcome! HUGS I love to see the NINGIN family growing especially kindred Anime and Game lovers.


Welcome! I’m not so much into anime or gaming but I luv music

:O I’m still trying to finish Crisis Core >< Haha I’m so pathetic when it comes to RPGs. I tried DJ Max but it’s so difficult! I think I’ll stick to DS games although I’m dying for Diablo III to come out.

Have you ever heard of http://gamescampus.com/ ? They do a lot of MMORPGs that are free to play. Haven’t tried it out myself but I’m curious.


Hey Jerry! I’m luvin’ your energy! SF is a cool city! Loved it when I visited there back in March! Welcome here and I look forward to more of your posts!
