-NARUTO)NEXAT/GENERATIONS~ — Creator/Supervisor Masashi Kishimoto Art by Mikio tkemota scriot ny Ukyo KadachiDATA R Recently, for some reason, the base of my left thumb has been painful. That’s the hand | don’t use to draw, so why? work seated, so | would understand my lower back or hip hurting... It’s not a part of my body that | particularly put pressure on when | draw, nor do | recall banging it against anything. The only thing that comes to mind is...the video game | got hooked on for the first time in awhile, Oragon Quest XI (the 30S one). It seems that supporting the weight of the 3DS plus operating the pad to move characters unexpectedly stressed the base of my thumb. Though this never happened back when I was playing Monster Hunter every day... So, everyone, be careful when you get hooked on something for the first time in a while. -Mikio (kemoto, 2017 Recently, I've been hooked on a game called Warhammer (from Games Workshop). It’s a tabletop game where you wage battle using miniature figure soldiers, robots, dragons, etc., that you assemble yourself. it’s sublimely fun. But even though ninja have existed in the game for about 30 years, there still aren't any figures yet. (There are Ratmen ninja.) So | really wish they would release some... Please... What's writing about it here going to accomplish...? laughs] -Ukyo Kodachi, 2017=NWARUTO)NEXT GENERATIO!
