Well, I'm playing right now (also streaming at http://www.livestream.com/logistream which will end horribly I'm sure), I'll be in block 20 I think if anyone wants to join.Watching that. Can you actually read Japanese, or are you winging it?

"I AM SORRY SORRY BUT UM DOESN'T SPEAK EENGLEESH. I AM VEESEET FAMEELY EEN AMEREEKAH, I AM FROM SVEEDEEN. PARENTS NOT OF HOUSE. YOU, UH, CALL, HOW YOU SAY IN SVEEDEESH EES SJÅSJÄCHSER.
