Cycling in TokyoLove using the bike, though Id rather drive to get from point A to point B.
However, whenever I go to places, I always try to bike through it, you see a lot more things you'd miss if you were passing on a bus or car. Next time I go to europe again,...
BayonettaThis looks really promising. Though it looks a tad too much like devil may cry. Going through the trailers, I swear Ive seen some similar fights in DMC4.
Still, can't wait for the "non-stop climax action"!!!!!

Tokyo Roller BladesHmm roller blades, tempts me to finally buy another pair. My hockey roller blades have smaller wheels for quicker movements, but for long distances, they aren't as well suited.
I sometimes bring them to campus to get from one side to the other, do...
YosuganosoraCaught my attention while i was browsing those wonfes coverage blogs.
But is it just me, or does anyone else find the build quality not that nice. Either that, or the camera is really good at picking out small details.
And the price makes me th...

Best Japan BlogHmmm, I think I was with the "too much ecchi" camp; though I didn't mind it per se, I just, skipped them or browsed them without much thought.
But, now theres seems to be a complete lack of ecchi...save for the couple of random ones by other members...
