0.0 I'm speechless... 0.0 "Apparently its a first that a corporate company is using Miku for CM purposes..." Yeah, I couldn't possibly imagine Microsoft using that commercial in the US. Their commercials come off really corporate and slightly dull....
I think the de-steamer function would be the most useful. Anyone who's been in a non-porous costume for any length of time (I got "volunteered" to be the school mascot during a football game in college - thought I was going to die from the heat ^^;;)...
That hasn't been my experience at all. Lots of Koreans say they are Christians but they still do homage to their ancestors and go to Buddhist shrines. Lots of Korean Buddhists celebrate Christmas. Koreans have no problem mixing and matching pieces fr...
I've been out of that line of work for quite some time, but I used to recommend IBM (now Lenovo) for laptops, and Compaq (now HP) for desktops. None of the companies are what they used to be (Lenovo IMO got better, HP got worse) when I evaluated mach...
Unless I'm under duress or suffering from a temperature extreme, I have confidence that my dolphin will withstand the glare of someone of the opposite gender.
I'm sure it's not that bad. I had a friend of mine that bought a "gaming" PC from a shop that does business on the web and was shocked to discovered that the builder still put a IDE (not SATA) hard drive into it. I didn't even think they sold IDE com...
tl;dr version: Vaio pocket PC not new; wouldn't run it on Vista; only know Vaio from second hand sources <_< >_> They've had pocket PCs of this sort for years. I remember seeing pocket PCs from Toshiba back in 1996/1997 when they ran Windows 95 and l...
I adore curry. I've been to Japan only once and hadn't had the chance to try it, so I'm not sure how authentic the stuff I had over in Portland (probably not even close). I have had authentic (homemade) Indian curry and curry is popular in Korean cui...
Seen this a while ago. That doesn't mean it isn't good. That's some mad, mad editing skills. I'd donate to see if he could manage to make a full movie out of that. It would be interesting to see how much he knows the story. Would he include the New...
If they ever decided to make a live version of Rosario+Vampire (and redeem themselves due to the awful quality of the anime), the actress and her kick would make a great Moka-san. Most impressive kick I've seen, scorpion kick: http://www.youtube.com/...
It's a cute figure and the detailing, particularly the guitar and boots are really nice. I bought a lot of computer equipment lately, so I'll just have to live vicariously through you guys. Danny - you need to make the Submit button bigger or make t...
Actually Japanese women seem rather accommodating. Korean women wouldn't settle just for money. Their ideal candidate is tall and hails from a prestigious educational institution. Their ideal is 6'2"+ (188 cm), with a medical degree from Harvard, Joh...
Saw these on Sankaku just a little while ago. The artwork was nicely done. I'm not sure how much they resembled the Clannad characters because I never followed the Clannad series (yeah, I'm sure I lost a bit of Otaku cred with that statement :/ ).
Nah, it has more positives than negatives. She thinks figures are cool. And she is generally supportive of gaming / anime watching habits. So, she's a gem. :)
I think it's just the idea that it *could* be in our bed that's the problem. I don't think she'll buy the fact that I'm using it for a belt or headband. <_< >_>
So my wife just laid down the law: games (including eroge): ok, dojinshi: ok, figures: ok, dakimakura: no way. The day that one of those makes it into our bed is the day she leaves it. Yes, I'm a completely whipped hubby. There goes my plans of getti...
I think we're blowing up her blog. I can't see anything other than her header and the left sidebar featuring her cute toys. I guess I'll come back and do the right-clicky thing later. ;)
The Onion is awesome. Judging by the comments, I get the feeling that a few of us are really looking forward to spending 45 minutes typing an email and a whopping 19 minutes of battery life. <_< >_>
Just echoing what most everyone else is saying. HUGE fan of season 1. Watched about three episodes of season 2 before I couldn't stand it anymore. I'm kind of afraid to watch season 3, thinking it will be more of the same. And it isn't just the anim...
Just asked. My wife wouldn't buy them / wear them. Not that she's opposed to wearing stuff like that...she actually has a pair with a bear's face (kuma-san!) on the butt much like what you see in a number of animes. And she owns a few pairs from Paul...
Photos like these are just evil! I *had* zero interest in figures before coming to this site, but after looking at them for a while, you get to thinking "hmmm...that's kind of cool". And then it cascades from there. :P What surprises me is my wife w...
Danny - I love your posts of Tokyo's cityscape. It gets me nostalgic for when I was working in Seoul (which is similar and different at the same time). One day, I'll make it back there and I'll definitely visit Tokyo too. I've only been to Nagoya, ta...
