Largo speaks:
1. the '1 Yen Arcade', was a nod to Penny Arcade of (www.penny-arcade.com),
we are aware they call them 'game centers' in japan.
2. largo doesn't know the difference between yen and quarters, so why would boo?
Piro speaks:
before speculation gets too out of hand, you guys have got to relax a little about
details. One thing you should always remember about Megatokyo - its about two
AMERICAN guys in japan. Sure, Piro is well versed in japanese culture, etc, but he
is still a westerner. And Largo... well, we dont know what the hell Largo is doing
here. ^_^
I shake my head sometimes when i people get on my case about 'mistakes' made in
the comic. These are NOT mistakes - these are diliberate jokes. Largo makes no
diferentiation between a 100 yen peice and a quarter - so why would his
concience? There's a whole metaphysical shtick about the conceiences that some
people have tapped in to but many havent as well - isnt a concience really just an
extention of yourself?
As for the 1 yen arcade - its a name (note that it is in english) and the joke really
does allude to PA. When dealing with reality issues, does it REALLY say '1 yen
arcade?' - or in realworld has largo just wandered into an arcade?
some gaffs are mine - something i didnt research right, or something i didnt have
time to check up on (i had forgot about the 'game center' thing) but even so,
many gaffs are not goofups by me, but goof ups by the characters.
and there are always those little jokes that only 4 or 5 people who know me and
largo will get. Humor comes in layers.
