Would you be familiar with Negima, cuc? I don't know whether that term was used in Japanese, but it sounds a lot like the way other characters described Jack Rakan. I think the most common I've seen were "real-life broken videogame character" and "ultimate broken character". Though using videogame analogies in a videogame is kind of awkward...
Yeah, it's used quite often in modern youth lingo.

But now I worry about the pressure on the child in the future from the fanbase in case anything does happen to ZUN.

I've made a Front Page Healines thread for the news. Please refrain from saying anything too inappropriate in that thread, thanks!

Some event news:

Tomorrow is the date of Retro Digital Game Expo, and ZUN was supposed to show the PC-98 games at the event. Obviously he won't be present, and someone else will tend to the booth.

On July 19, the PoriPori Club will held another public show at the Loft A pub of Asagaya, Tokyo. This will be another session where they make an iPhone game in 3 hours, and ZUN will be there as "the regular guest" again.

I'm pretty sure we no longer live in a world where we expect children to carry on the work of their parents. Like, what do Shigeru Miyamoto's children do? I have no idea. [according to wikipedia his son works in advertising and his daughter is a zoologist]

Anyway, おめでとうございます

I'll be honest, I had no idea Miyamoto had kids. Guess it just was never in the news. Anyway I'm sure someone will think that way, but I shouldn't joke like that, sorry.

That's different. Miyamoto, like almost everyone involved with the commercial game industry does his job at an office. ZUN makes his games and music at home, where he can always be close to his son.

Having talented parents doesn't guarantee anything of course, but it's honestly not completely unreasonable to expect his son to become influenced by his father's work. We'll have to wait and see.

Uh, yeah, ZUN is still a skinny dude. If all that copious beer consumption hasn't even given him a belly by the age of 37, I doubt he's likely to get fat any time soon.

What a weird derail.

But how exactly does one become a fat? It's not a grammatically accurate statement.  :V

Well, one could have assumed that the title was really, "ZUN has become a fatty!" but that's still a stretch.

 Maybe the title would be less ambiguous if it said "ZUN has become a mother!"

Not quite, since it would have been cut as "ZUN has become a mot...", which would lead several to assume he becae a MoTK user :V

Pretty sure that is what it said, it's just cut off by a character display limit.

Or inferring the news from what the current buzz has been around ZUN.

Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.
