Just found my stocking stuffer. ( View formatted comment » )

If you watch the first trailer you can see, towards the end that Faith is shooting a gun as she falls of a ledge. This might mean there are some FPS action in the game. However the producers have mentioned that gun play was down the list on things they want the gamer to experience from Mirror's Edge. ( View formatted comment » )

If it were a contest I think I would win as the annoying neighbor. Everyone that lives near me will checking out in a few years. And I don't live near a retirement home ^^; I do have some new neighbors on the south-west side of our property though, with quite a handfull of rugrats. They might become the annoying ones :P Just being picky Danny, but "Being a landlord 'in Japan' can cost you your life 'in Japan' ". You pick which one to use, or leave it if that's what you really meant ;) ( View formatted comment » )

I was thinking more of a tagging system since one article could fall into several categories. If that's what you were saying, I'm right behind you. Since I plan on visiting Japan and Tokyo in the future I will definately be using this feature. ( View formatted comment » )

The closest thing we have to yatai here are icecream trucks that visit in the summer. I'm not really sure how they stay in business since they don't seem to be THAT busy. Probably doesn't pay that well. Oh yah, there are lots of yatai at carnivals and sporting events, but I never go to those so that's why I forgot ^^; ( View formatted comment » )

Given time there will probably be collonies on Mars and the moon. I'd rather live on the moon than Mars I think. Maybe I could come and visit my old family on earth, weird. ( View formatted comment » )

I suppose if people ate meat before they figured out where it came from (saw it), and then turned vegetarian after they realized what they were eating then they were meant to be vegetarians. Better sooner than later I guess. I know where meat comes from and I still eat it. *shugs* ( View formatted comment » )

I dunno, I guess she would make a good mascot if it was her site that she was a mascot for. Personally, just some unrelated stranger being the mascot to a site would be pretty weird. I'd go there and think, "wtf?". ( View formatted comment » )

Can anyone tell how to turn Snapshots back on. I turned them off because my pointer would wander over a link and then everything runs slow while the bubble pops up (<-- old computer). Anyways, I can't find the Snapshots menu to turn them back on. T_T ( View formatted comment » )

I've got a PS3 and have not been disappointed. I did think about getting the 360, but I am not a fan of Microsoft in general so... For me, the best things about the playstation are: free online game service, some great exclusives (LBP, MGS4), and the future release of HOME (though I'll reserve my judgement, I'm still excited). Anoyingly the worst part is how Sony has been behind as far as easy of use. The much needed and requested in-game Xmb still isn't here, but will be soon. Sony has also said they will be releasin...

Wow, I love the back ground! Did you do that from scratch? ( View formatted comment » )

But wait, really hot girls always treat me badly...for free. Probably just not meeting the right cute girls. *sigh* ( View formatted comment » )

I see the movies the same time as the US... because I'm in the US. Sorry Danny. But if you ever *happen* to be in the area would gladly take you to all the newest films ; ) Question, does Japan get the DVD releases latter too? ( View formatted comment » )

I'm not very much into figures, and you would be able to tell if I ever uploaded pictures of my room. However, the video tours are really interesting! I can't wait for the next one! ( View formatted comment » )

Selling tobacco or alchohol in the US just wouldn't fly for the very same reason. However, even though these products are kept 'behind the shelf' I know too many underage drinkers. But maybe it works better? ( View formatted comment » )

Restaurant with carpet on the walls. - "But can you sit on the walls?" - "Only in Japan" ( View formatted comment » )

My hometown is very small, so we only have one run down house, which is being torn down this very second. However there are a few vaccant buildings in the "downtown" area. But there is hope for them since it seems that people really enjoy turning them into homes or workshops. One man bought an old church and renovated it. Kinda strange looking mix after that...

Yup, I was pretty interested when I saw this http://www.longnow.org/projects/clock/ ( View formatted comment » )

If we don't consider Disney as American, don't consider Myazaki as Japanese. ( View formatted comment » )

Reading about your childhood almost made me feel guilty of my own, but like you said, there must be a perpose for everything. Made me think of Harry Potter though ; P At least you didn't have to live in a cubbard under the stairs, but then again you don't know magic. Do you? ( View formatted comment » )

Yah, all that stuff that comes with electronics equipment really is poo. How do you keep track of your stuff Danny? Or do you? All my stuff gets thrown in a drawer or on my desk untill I can't see the bottom. My parents told me they were thinking about switching to Mac the next time they buy a computer, but I'm not so interested. I'm sure they're nice, but I've already invested somewhat in PC. However most of my machines will be running some version of Linux pretty soon. Did you ever try Linux Danny? ( View formatted comment » )

Lots of people are counting on this update bringing the particular feature they have been missing, but I'm not prepared to believe that this will the the end all update in this arena. Specifically, I bet in-game music will still be left up to the game developers. *sigh* ( View formatted comment » )
