Our R+D team has finally transmitted to HQ their week-long project, and the results have exceeded the expectations of the board.

In the official TAKOTRON news from yesterday or the other day or whatever you will find the TAKOTRON font, v2.0. It's of course awesome, and we are proud to announce that we were just contacted by the US DEPT OF THE TREASURY who have bought the rights to use it on every DOLLAR BILL MINTED HENCEFORTH. The amount paid shall not be disclosed, here, but lets just say Comptroller Hotoda will finally be able to afford those Platinum-plated front teeth she has been hankering for.

Interestingly, it happened to be a broken link that has since been fixed. Though we apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused, TAKOTRON refuses to issue an apology or accept responsibility for this tragedy.

Also, please visit the new IMAGE GALLERIES.

FONT v2.0
Topic: Site Features
OK, while enjoying the magical aromas of Kei's developing Pear-almond tart with apricot glaze, I've worked out some kinks in the now famous TAKOTRON font. You must download it NOW. If you downloaded v.1, you just delete it out of your WINDOWS/FONT and replace it with this one.

I have many potentially interesting stories to post here, but I'm spending some time redoing all the new image galleries. There are still some glitches, but you can see them in their nascent state here:

FONT FONT FONT / TANUKI NO KINTAMA
Topic: Japan (misc)
Good evening my loyal followers. Our researchers have finally completed work on the official TAKOTRON font. The results are sure to blow your mind, though they probably won't. Full of innovation and hard work, but mostly not. Anyway, you can download it here. This is only v.1, so it's all caps, no numbers or punctuation yet. Sorry. I'll keep working on it. Or rather our high tech research team will. DOWNLOAD THIS FONT!!! and then you put the ttf file in your windows/fonts folder, and it should work in MSword and all that.

In other news, Miss Comrade Hotoda and I had a serious discussion regarding the magical and mysterious "tanuki no kintama." That means raccoon balls. Allow me to attempt an explanation; there are these traditional statues all around Japan, especially in older neighborhoods, that depict Tanuki and their huge balls. Apparently they are some sort of folk-lore trickster legend. They look like badgers, but they are called "tanuki," which means "raccoon," so i don't know what that discrepancy is. Perhaps it's part of the scrotal myth.





They also like booze and fishing.


















and the kids love 'em.
