As a Japanese living in the Philippines, I keep thinking what I can do as earthquakes continue. Sent a bit of goods & water via my kids’ school. Small steps, but I’ll keep trying. Flying to Thailand for #gamescomasia, hoping to bring smiles & hope through games.

A horror game at a temple at night. Who would’ve thought! That idea was just too fun to pass up, so we joined in. Games are a form of total art. That’s what makes them exciting. You can combine them with any genre or place and create entirely new experiences. #GamingCommunity
