I'm too scared to watch it myself.

Might give it a watch later. Ive been really wanting to learn how to play.

Cool, got into it from a panel at anime expo a couple years ago and got really into it for awhile and now play a couple games every now and then. Never thought I would get into it but it turned out to be really fun lol

Riichi mahjong or

I would just use cheats in MAME to get the anime girls to take off their clothes.

You have a great public speaking voice and pacing. You just need to work on eliminating the uh and ahs habit which is an extremely common habit for people. I had to take a public speaking class during college to get rid of the habit.

Omg awesome will watch it on my lunch break. I remember looking for it on YouTube after you posted about doing the panel a little while ago lol

Haha yeah the MAG folks had a lot of work to do getting all the videos up online. They did the concerts first, of course, but they've been steadily making uploads these past few weeks and got around to me. :)

Good job, Cyric! Huggles!

He mentioned gamefaqs <333

You have a very good speaking voice.

And it was super effective.

Check out Mahjong Soul if you want to give it a try. It's free and they have a tutorial in there as well. Also you can play against bots so you don't have to stare down real people.

Imagine if you somehow ended up at the wrong convention and it was MAGAFest.

Those dumbasses wouldn't understand mahjong.

I haven't watched TC's panel, but I also can't really imagine needing a panel to learn mahjong either. I know people meme about how long the tutorial for it is in Yakuza and the like, but you could probably distill that to two pages of what tiles mean what (suits, winds, dragons) and the general idea of hands (terminals, flushes, closed vs. open vs. riichi, etc.) and go from there.

My mahjong experience started with Saki (for others, it may have been Akagi), then my actual hands-on playtime was with 2-player h-games. Not so coincidentally, a 2-player Saki fangame went up around the time the first season aired, though hentai mahjong is a fairly common genre and I also happened to pick up a VN called Princess Brave, spinoff to Princess Bride (yes, the one with the super-catchy OP by KOTOKO).

I eventually moved onto real mahjong through Tenhou, though nowadays, I'm on Mahjong Soul.

Worth noting is that there's going to be a Kaguya-sama collab soon-ish. Maybe second week of March or so.

Also worth noting is that Mahjong Soul gacha is absolute shit for F2P and rerolling isn't really an option either.

Did you go to MAGFest 2011 by chance? It was the only time I've ever been able to go.

On topic: The guide you include in all of your Yakuza FAQs/Walkthroughs is pretty in depth so when I get a minute I'll check this out.

I learned a bit more from watching Akagi as well, but I was only able to follow the show at all because of Yakuza >_>

Tagging to give this a watch through later

No I've been to either four or five MAGs (can't completely remember). I think I started in 2016?

Tag for later

Mahjong bump!
