When he's not presumably getting drunk and blowing all his money on pachinko, he's likely working on freelance coding projects for which he goes uncredited.

He committed sudoku to atone for our rank mismanagements and dropped medal chains.

He’s probably in Cavehermit’s basement and the rest you don’t want to know. :twisted:

I've received strange visions only in dreams, all of them featuring cave hermit, i think he's broadcasting them to the sensitive such as I. Or perhaps it is the fate of all apostles of Yagawa.

Needless to say my head doesn't hit pillow until I've consumed enough alcohol and pills that I won't ever dream again.

I would normally describe my last encounter with Yagawa in excruciating detail, but System11 almost banned me over the last one I described (I'm being persecuted for my devotion :( )

So instead here's a picture of my encounter last night with Yagawa-Sama:

Is this a serious post? I'm sorry, I can't tell. I read here once that he indeed worked on some medal game machines in the past. I wonder if he wastes again his talent now. I wouldn't judge him tho, he also has bills to pay.

Umm What? His biggest talent IS cheesing away more coins from the players without them even knowing/realizing it. :roll: Probably also the reason why he was put to make medal games instead of modern shmups.

Guys!!!!! This was meant as a fairly serious question. I really doubt that Yagawa is involved in Pachinko or your bazaar sex fantasies. Sounds like that is just your wishful thinking =]

Someone must know what Yagawa is doing now! Pink Sweets MBL where you start with infinite lives?? Lol

No, he's actually a big mahjong person. He bought a DS just for a Gundam mahjong game lol... He also did several gambling games for CAVE. I don't think anyone actually knows what he's done since SDOJ and Akai Katana though.

<S.Yagawa> I like the challenge of "doing the impossible" with older hardware, and pushing it as far as it can go.
