Last few podcasts...

Obviously, the Jongcasts have been spotty. The front RM page isn't being updated with them and iTunes feed doesn't seem to have #60-#62 listed. Speaking of which, #62 dropped without any announcement - but you can download/listen if you have the direct link. For those interested the last few podcast...

Re: Sega MJ5 arcade system

Cool video! One thing I've noticed about some of the more 'realistic looking' video mahjong games is that they leave the discarded tiles slightly un-aligned to simulate the way they might look when humans are playing. However, for some reason I hate that - I like seeing the discards perfectly aligne...

Re: World Amateur Mahjong League

Thanks for posting this, Kyuu. I'm a little intimidated by a league but Tenhou is my bread-and-butter so I will strongly consider joining. If not this cycle, perhaps the next (sounds like a new cycle kicks in Jan-Feb, 2013?).

Re: Mahjong Group Assembled! Need Advice on Rules...

How was the ambience?! Excellent. I created a 75 minute music CD of traditional Japanese and Chinese music which looped in the background. We had an assortment of oriental teas available. We had thought to make something suitably Japanese (or at least Asian) for dinner but the catering options were...

Re: Mahjong Group Assembled! Need Advice on Rules...

Say. I'm curious as to how this went. :D We had a great day! People arrived just after lunch and we talk for about 30 minutes and were excited to get playing. My power-point tutorial on our big wide-screen TV went perfect and with questions + answers took less than an hour. The crib-sheet handouts ...

Re: Mahjong Group Assembled! Need Advice on Rules...

Okay - tomorrow is our big day! First meeting with the group - after some unexpected cancellations we will have exactly 8 players. Still a nice number for 2 full tables. My Power Point slides are basically done (see first page - the image is updated) and my New Player Aid is printed and ready. Food ...

Re: I dealt into a yakuman and still won the game!

Very cool! I've dealt into a non-dealer Sanbaiman and won once. I was so far ahead - honestly I was almost throwing tiles to let someone win (my hand was crap) though it turns out it was much closer than I expected on this final hand given my deal-in. I'll use more caution next time.

Re: I need help with a RM.com purchase

If it's coming from Japan and you're in the USA usually 2 weeks is about right though I've had several items (I've bought hundreds of video games direct from Japan) held up in customs for 5 or 6 weeks! I'd give it a little more time - though a confirmation email would have been helpful. Also, rememb...

Re: New Episode #59 10-Oct-2012 is up!

As an aside, I've noticed that neither new episode (#59 nor #60) have shown in my iTunes feed yet. I can get them from the front page. Maybe it's just me. Also, for Ep #60 the audio seems to be a little distorted. There is a hum I'm hearing for the first time and the 'P's are causing a bit of a pop ...
