I was thinking something along the lines of siliconera.com so I could read a bit every day with the help of rikaichan

4gamer.net

There was something Tokyostyle said in another thread about grabbing a grammar structure from a textbook and then searching for it in stuff you read out of interest instead of using the context-less example sentences in the same textbooks. Genius. I have really been struggling with retaining structures.
Now, if I can find interesting stuff to read in Japanese. Can anyone recommend a good Japanese blog*? I can't get enough of reading people's blogs.
*not about food or manga

Not quite a blog along the lines of siliconera covering niche games etc, but ill give it a shot, thanks!

I like personal blogs, nothing too informative or newsy. Anyone got anything they can suggest? A good source is Japanese people blogging about their travels overseas (as long as they are not foodies). That can be interesting, a different perspective on your home town, maybe.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Er, I meant is there any easy way to do some sort of electronic search to look for grammar constructs in a text? Perhaps some sort of regex-like engine that's aware of part of speech, conjugation, etc.

I haven't been able to try it out yet but the Natural Language Toolkit looks promising, especially if you read the examples in chapter 7 on chunking (link to full book).I found some japanese corpora here and some documentation specific for processing japanese.

back to the posts orinigal sense, more obscure blogs about gaming in japanese or w/e? more niche dedicated, more 1st pergon dungeon crawling and/or old-school(fami, superfami, nes, snes, psx, etc) gaming blogs?
May be a good gaming blog about nothing but RPGs?
