Who was saying something about being able to record/watch Japanese TV abroad... was it [user]Rich[/user]? Would be cool to see this.

I haven't seen the program, but I'd guess they filmed at this event.

Sketchy auto-translation. I was surprised to see myself mentioned (but not by nmae).

Apparently, 'Void' translates to 'strong man coming all the way from the UK'. Not the worst epithet I can think of. Imagine 'puny simpleton limping all the way from some festering backwater'. Could be much worse.

Is there a video of this guy in action?
