I’m 21st century boy with the crazy idea that life is a game that we are all playing together. Like competitive videogames we play Life’s rules are constantly evolving and changing shifting and molding. My favorite philosopher said life is like a play, but I’d like to change that into life is a game. A binary code, heads or tails, rock paper scissors, just endless raw data playing together. Competitions make us stronger, sometimes we flow together, or against each other. But we are all endlessly collaborating on the piece of art called the universe. Perhaps there is a multiverse where every possibility is happening simultaneously. Time is a mystery that we only pretend to grasp as our future dreams and nightmares become our present reality and then our past, that past then shapes our futures and our dreams. The game I’m playing right now is of a mixed race human being from Seattle Washington. Like the stereotypical millennial from Seattle I have my head in the clouds, probably because it’s always raining. I actually like the taste of Starbucks if i could afford to constantly drink it it might be a problem. And I live technology and dissolving boundaries. Here are Marco Harris Saved Game Files

An Adorable APEX LEGENDS Nessie Cafe In Tokyo

Apex Legends Cafe in Japan is So Cute 🥰

Despite not being a wildly successful content creator, I still find value in sharing some of the unique experiences I’ve had. My life has taken some interesting turns, and moving to Japan has definitely been one of the more challenging yet rewarding decisions. Here, I’ve been able to dive deep into my interests, and as someone who identifies as an Otaku, I’ve found plenty of outlets for those passions. In Japan, being an Otaku doesn’t just mean you’re into anime or video games—you can be deeply interested in anything, from trains to cars, and I’ve got more than my fair share of hobbies.

One of my obsessions for the past four years has been a game called Apex Legends. It’s become so popular in Japan that it even has its own themed café. Naturally, I had to check it out the Apex Legends Cafe in Japan.

I Just Had To Go

When I arrived, the café had a range of food options, hip-hop music playing, and even a space dedicated to playing Apex Legends. The atmosphere had a cyberpunk vibe, reminding me of the E-District of Suotamo. It was a bit nostalgic—getting excited over a simple burger and lemonade, even though the food was slightly overpriced. But, like most themed cafes, the experience is less about the food and more about the ambiance. The crowd was diverse, and surprisingly, a lot of the patrons were young women, which I didn’t expect.

There was also a small gift shop with various souvenirs. I ended up buying some T-shirts, a hoodie, and a jacket. Lately, whenever I visit exhibits or limited-time museums, I try to pick up something practical like clothing or art books—it helps me justify the expense.

Only a Couple People Bothered to Watch

In an attempt to build my social media presence, I made a video about the visit. It took a couple of hours to shoot, edit, and upload, and while it only got about 35 views, I did receive an organic comment from a stranger. That alone made the effort feel somewhat worthwhile.

A Unique Experience: The Apex Legends Café Visit

Overall, the Apex Legends café visit was an interesting experience. It wasn’t just about the food or the merchandise but about being able to immerse myself in something I’m passionate about. The video didn’t get a lot of attention, but documenting it was still worth it. Sometimes, it’s more about enjoying the moment than the reaction it gets. I’ll keep sharing these experiences, regardless of the outcome. Thanks for checking it out.

Tongs and Tailpipes: Fast and the Furious Style BBQ

Slow, Savory, Laidback n Lazy

Fast and the Furious is one of those Film Franchises that might not have the highest objective quality, but the film’s cultural impact in the early 2000s catapulted cars and the tuning scene to the forefront of the cultural zeitgeist. When I look back, it’s hard to place myself in the shoes of my own seven year old self. In a short span of twenty or so years the entire world changed. Looking at old movies, music, videos, and technology makes me feel appreciative nostalgia for a place and time I’ll never see again.

Fast and the Furious was about tuner cars, nitrious, and adrenaline-fueled action. Upon watching the film every kid wanted nitrous, a supra, and a Honda Civic low enough to traverse under Semis. After the film franchise, we got to experience some of that with the Need for Speed franchise. While kids were content with that, that small taste of octane turned into one of the cornerstones of my life. That stupid low-budget film would send me on a journey that landed me in Japan.

Watching the film now as an adult, it’s easier to be a little cynical about the stunts and all the incorrect information about cars. . . let alone the hundreds of shifts they pull during any sequence on the road. But much like how stories in videogames and why your character’s perform the shoot explody action hero stuff become more important, your relationship with Fast and the Furious Changes as you get older.

Fast and The Furious Lost Touch

While watching the most recent Fast films is entertaining in the way watching a train wreck is, the older films have a relatable charm in them. At it’s core Fast films are supposed to be about one thing . . . FAMILY. . . Oh come on you know the meme was coming at some point in time. Some of the best scenes in the Fast films aren’t the setpieces, but the ones of car people just hanging out, working on cars, or eating together. The word Family means a lot of things, but for me the Fast definition of “Family” reminds me of hanging out with my car buddies.

While I’ve never stolen electronics out of the back of a truck, my car friends and I have gotten into plenty of trouble doing some spirited driving. Sitting around at each other’s houses or at a pho place at 0200AM after some driving are some of my most cherished memories. Falling in love with cars, drifting, and driving put me on a fast track to japan. . . see what I did there.

20 Years Later

More than two decades after that film I find myself living out scenes I’ve seen in a film. Just driving to a spot where other car people bring their rides to hang out and eat together is surreal. In today’s world, we have social media, smartphones, and high-quality video recording right at our fingertips. And while it’s great for taking photos and working with models, a part of me wonders what it would have been like 20 years ago in the Import Car Scene.

At that time it was obscure internet forums, shakey VHS footage, film cameras, and magazines. My cousin had stories from underground street races, hot import nights, and secret meets that would take place if you met the right people. As convenient as our technology is I feel like something special was lost when social media invaded the car scene. Thanks to one of my favorite films I guess I have an idea of what it might have been like. . . minus the heisty stuff and all.

I’m just glad to be able to attend one of these meets myself.

Much Love <3
