Heading to Japan to Commentate This Weekend

I'm happy to announce that Namco has asked me to commentate along side MarkMan this weekend at The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2015 in Japan! Namco is covering my flight and 3 nights in Japan, but I've decided to stay for an additional week after the event. During this week in Japan, I'm hoping to share my experience with the internet by arranging a live stream on my twitch channel.
