I met my primary school classmate yesterday. When I was with her, we had an interesting conversation. During my school time, I’ve wasted exact 10 years for doing nothing. I spent all my time with just eating, sleeping and being really lazy. I then explored about video games, computer, Internet and got hooked into it (this happened sometime in between), but back in the time, my parents were really strict about this, they saw all of those things as a “crime” so if I got into it, I would have no future. With all those 10 years, I’ve explored something about myself on what I loved, and wanted to give it a try, which was something related to computer, games, Internet and community, that was back in the year 2000. I feel really lucky to take the course in the college, I also think at that time, it was the start and the rise of both video games industry and the Internet (from something which was blurry and uncertain to something that people believed that’s the future market) – not sure if you could still remember the Netscape.

I just feel want to share this today because I think some of the people, even now, they love something but they abandon it because they don’t want to disappoint their friends or have been listening too much “bad side” of the story from the others, or maybe, they still haven’t managed to explore what they’re good at yet. It took me such a long time to be clear about myself, and I really wish we all here can keep going to get and experience what we really want. You know, 10 years before, I saved all those game pictures from the GameSpot website and printed it out; and I can’t still believe I was on GameSpot stage myself few weeks back at the London MCM Expo.

The article I wrote today isn’t going to share you many information about our E3 2011 show, but I’ll start tweeting about it with @tecmokoeieurope account on Twitter starts from tomorrow. I didn’t get picked to the E3 2011 show this time, but I’ll be here sharing the information we have here from the Internet and also developing a website for Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3. I really wanted to start it, there are some sketches in my head and I believe I would put that into digital works tomorrow – there’s no website for this title in North America so I can’t get the codes but have to make it for Europe, ouch.

There’s a lot of questions regarding the DLC for Dynasty Warriors 7 as well as the PSP version, Sengoku Musou 3 Empires (Samurai Warriors 3 Empires in Japan) and many more. Regarding the DLC, I’ve submitted all your questions to our team in Japan, since a lot of them have gone to LA for E3 show, please expect some delays for the responses. For the other 2 titles mentioned, I have no idea what it’s going to be – I feel bad for saying this as a community person myself in here but as soon as it’s confirmed (yes or no) and allowed to say, I’d definitely share it to you all.

This article doesn’t have many TECMO KOEI game updates as you wanted, but it’s to tell you that I’ve received and read through all your questions and requests. I can’t fulfill all your dream, but I’m trying my best to try to connect you with our team together to make things easier. The main purpose of this blog update is really to encourage you to keep going to explore what you’re good at, have a deep breath and take a step forward if you can. Although we can’t please all the people in our lives, but we should definitely do our best to achieve something, then share the joy to those who appreciated us.
