I didn't know you could get these smaller format Simpsons comics books. It's from Otter Press in Australia. I'm used to the larger format ones

I have random old sitcoms playing in the background while I work...
This clip from King of Queens really predicted the impact of social media on how we see ourselves compare to others when they collect the wrong photos

Slightly related, just seen this stack of (mostly) bootlegs for sale on Facebook and there's a cart with the Shiten Myooh artwork but it's called "Northern Ken".
I wonder what's on there? Fist of the North Star?

The official 'Asian Version' of Sonic 2 is interesting because it comes with 3 manuals:
- Japanese
- English
- Traditional Chinese
I'm not sure how common this was.
Unfortunately, neither the English nor Chinese manuals are as colourful as the Japanese

Taiwanese bootlegs in the 80s and 90s often came with translated manuals or instructional inserts like this one for Shiten Myooh/Shadow Blasters/四天明王 on the Mega Drive:

Will it simulate that comforting little purring sound of the mirrors oscillating back and forth?
I am still processing the theft of my original VB just within the past few years. I am not sure if this reopens the wound or helps heal it… but I am very very happy this is a thing that exists.

The next jigsaw is Super Mario Odyssey.
This is a 500 piece puzzle. I only counted 498 pieces, so I'm not sure if I miscounted or there are actually two pieces missing.
Time to find out...

Every time I go back to the UK, I buy a jigsaw puzzle to do. This time I got two: Rick and Morty and a Mario Odyssey.
They are second hand so it's a gamble that all the pieces work will be there.
This one was a success!

Originally, I thought Nintendo didn't open a Taiwanese eShop because of the 7-day cooling off period for online purchases (7天鑑賞期).
But it seems that digital purchases have been exempt from this law since 2013.
Anyway, great to see more official Nintendo presence back in Taiwan

In 2014, Nintendo closed their Taiwan subsiduary and moved operations to Hong Kong.
Now, after the success of the Switch, they are finally opening an official Nintendo eShop:

I opened my Vita to remove what I thought was a bulging battery.
It turns out the last person in there didn't seat the battery retaining bar properly and that was the cause
I've still got to fix the camera though... I hope they're still available
