We look into the arrest of a man being arrested for sending spam. 9 Spam messages… Then we look at a new variant on the electronic bubble wrap craze, with Moé sound effects. Plus, we talk about the recent workplace validation of a teachers suicide, inciting a discussion once again inciting a discussion on the working conditions of Japanese workers. And we join Japan in denoucing the rape by US Marines. Also, HD DVD is dead, says Japan…

This week, we’re back with the bare minimum needed for the cast, trading Jason for the double X that is Eryn Derden. We’ve roped her in to talk about learning English from Cosplayers with Cosplish, then it’s on with the Rape Whistles! Plus, cosplayers invade Osaka’s airports, and you too can now racially (?) profile otaku! All this plus Beej’s final “Webcomic of the Week” on Dai-Cast.

Beej’s Webcomic of the Week - Megatokyo
This week on Dai-Cast we have a guest host, in the form of a mysterious stranger! In reality, we just had issues with microphones, and decided to tweak the audio, as we didn’t want to leave you without a Dai-Cast this week. It’s barely listenable, but if you feel brave, soldier on! If you’re still here, you can hear us rant about robot suits for farming, real life Gundam Costs, Bags of Rice, Japanese Dialects, and Osakan Amphibious Taxis. Plus, the Japanese Government tells us that UFOs are real, and need to be shot down. And finally, a tribute to our favourite (not) childhood toy M.U.S.C.L.E. Men.
Hosts: The Mysterious Stranger, and Jason Hill, with Brendan Dery as “Beej”.
