Just another speck in the universe that got caught in the beauty of #go...

Believe it or not, a new #MondayGoMeditation has just been published on the recent game between #ParkJeongHwan (9p) and #IyamaYuta (9p)!

Making a move at 6:30am before fully waking up... Let's just say I may have made a losing move doing that. 🤣🤣🤣

Janice Kim's personal dispatches—far too infrequent—are some of my favorite writing about go. https://t.co/hykIEdqICo

@Machinato Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to download a legal copy through YouTube. I know that Hulu has it for streaming, but I was wanted to own a copy

[Ben Hong @bengozen]

I just tried to purchase a legal digital version of #HikaruNoGo on @AmazonVideo and only saw an option for English Dubbed...

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@ach3son Really would like to find a place to buy it online so others could get it. It’s a phenomenal traveling set

[Ben Hong @bengozen]

Pretty proud of my impromptu setup at work to expose more people to the game. Already have one person who I've started playing with weekly!

@ach3son It’s actually like a sturdy cloth like material with plastic stones. I got it from two Korean pros at the Go Congress 2014!

[Ben Hong @bengozen]

I was casually snacking on M&Ms when I instinctively picked it up like a go stone and then had to awkwardly turn my hand in order to to eat it.

To top it off, the translation of some parts are just flat out wrong. Like when Hikaru intentionally pulls in his opponent with what looks like a mistake, the translation is: "[Hikaru] made a mistake and somehow managed to turn it into a good one."

[Ben Hong @bengozen]

As I'm rewatching the dubbed version of #HikaruNoGo, I can't help but notice that a lot of the mannerisms and subtleties from the Japanese version are gone. 😢

[Ben Hong @bengozen]

@iamdeadinside @alireyns Oh I've read it like 20+ times. Hahaha. I have to say that I think the reason I reach for the anime more often is because I can let it run in the background when I'm doing other stuff. Plus, the voice acting (in the original one) is amazing!

[Ben Hong @bengozen]

Starting the weekly progress reports back up again! https://t.co/teRT4qbOwR

Waking up to Chicago city architecture while finishing a review of a game is something I could get used to...

Not bad for a studying while I'm out of town for more than a week eh?

@DecimoKing @AmazonVideo That it was man! Just wished I could write the Japanese voices with English subs!

[Ben Hong @bengozen]

Update: I bought it anyways
