Candy Boy GiveawayI found Danny's site through searching for figure news, and thats the primary reason I come to this site. I also enjoy some of the other articles, as well as seeing what the community is up to. I like hearing about rare figures and other cool things...
Anime T-ShirtsI've got way too many anime t-shirts in my wardrobe. I think an entire drawer in my bureau is dedicated to them. I wear them to conventions and when I do my otaku shopping rounds in NY. Wearing them to work is a bit iffy, especially the more ecchi on...
Microsoft JapanMS is no stranger to bad demonstrations. Here is Bill Gates demonstrating Windows 98, when it suffers a BSOD:

I've installed Win7 Pro on 3 of my machines, and none of them have had issues so far, but then...
Windows 7 Japan LaunchJust got done installing Win7 on all my machines. Ran the performance evaluation on my main machine, got 7.9s across the board except for my hard drives. Only got 6.1 for them, bringing my whole score down *cry*. Looks like its time to upgrade to SSD...
Fate ExtraMust get, but Play Asia and Yes Asia are selling this for upwards of $130. Maybe I'll see if I'm going back to Japan next summer and pick it up then.
Windows 7 Japan LaunchWindows 7 has DirectX 11 support, so in the future, all the new games will be requiring DX11 to run their best. If you are talking about old games, DOSBox runs fine in Windows 7 and can run these older games really well.
Windows 7 Japan LaunchGot my 3 licenses of Windows 7 Pro ready to install by the end of today. Gonna scrub the Win7 RC I have on one machine, and do an across the board update of Vista and XP that I have on my other two machines.
Windows 7 Japan LaunchIf you get Windows 7 Pro or above, you have access to an XP emulation mode which could resolve any compatibility issues you might have.
Cycling in TokyoI prefer mountain biking to street biking. Staking out your own path in the forest is always fun, but you should always have buddies with you just in case of accidents. Most of the time though I just use the dirt trails though, less easier to get los...
BayonettaI try to put in as much time gaming as possible. Right now I just beat Uncharted 2, but I'm still going through Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising and Demon's Souls. Next week is going to be Star Wars Force Unleashed Sith Edition for the PC and Tropi...
Apple in JapanI love my computers very much because I built and customized nearly all of them (except for the laptops). So I scoff at pre-built machines made by Apple, Dell, Sony, and the like. Just let me have my Newegg, Micro Center, and Pricewatch so I can keep...
Sekai CameraI thought Eden of the East's program was more of an real-life search engine, where you could take a picture of anything and then look it up, and it would tell you either who the person is, or the make and model of whatever object you are looking at....
Re AngelSecond Life is the American dating sim. You "date" real people online, except everyone is most likely a guy, and most of the character models in this "game" have extreme fetish leanings. It's a lifestyle I guess.
Giant Japanese TVYou could get a cheaper, larger, and higher definition setup if you got a set of 6 1080p HD projectors and linked them to a single output through the new ATI 5870's Eyefinity mode. I would like to do that one day and project the screen onto my neighb...
Akiba:FSee you at the party Richter!
Hopefully you won't flip out at this blood donation area, think you are a secret agent from Mars, and start brutally murdering the doctors.
Consider that a divorce!
Japanese CommercialsThe biggest difference for me is the ability to play as Ayane, Momiji, and Rachel through their own mission packs, and then do co-op missions online as well, both of which you can't get on the 360 version. I can live without the gore in this case (es...
F*ck AnimeSometimes I do wish someone would take a chainsaw to some of the godawful anime shows I've had the displeasure of watching. Then again, I also wish someone would take a chainsaw to half of Hollywood and reality television as well.
Windows 7 JapanI don't *trust* MS any more than I would trust any other company I purchase software or products from. I know they are a corporation and they exist to make money. Doesn't mean they are some evil empire that wants to subjugate us. You have some seriou...
Windows 7 JapanAs long as you have a genuine copy, you shouldn't have any issues then, right? It isn't just MS Windows that has DRM, almost anything nowadays that has a copyright attached to it has DRM. I just keep my Windows keys on file on a couple of USB sticks,...
Windows 7 JapanI get Windows for free first of all (MSDNAA), and for other licenses I jumped on the discounted upgrades and the student discount as well, so I don't think I am *wasting* money with Windows.
Windows 7 and Vista are very secure operating systems, and...
Windows 7 JapanMS is offering awesome deals for Windows 7 in the US at least. There was the initial preorder deal that shaved 50% off Home and Professional upgrades. Theres the Windows 7 family pack that has 3 Home licenses for $150, and now there's the student dis...
Firearms in JapanI'm not saying I'm agreeing with gun control, but if you want gun control and gun violence to go down, you go all the way and completely ban guns for the entire citizenry. No half-assed gun control laws that only obstruct legitimate gun owners. But s...
Firearms in JapanGun laws are strict here in New York City, which is why I can't bring my semi automatic WASR-10 (Romanian AK Clone), into the city, having to leave it in my old home in Pennsylvania. Although if you want to go to a firing range, you just exit city li...
Firearms in JapanClass 3 licenses that allow you to own automatic weaponry require an extensive background check, and quite a bit of money as well. But someone who wants to use an automatic firearm for criminal activities isn't going to go through any legal pathway t...
Japan Unattended BagsYeah, leaving bags around here in New York City will either result in you never seeing that bag again, or a hysteria over a possible bomb or weapon of mass destruction, depending on where you are. Not much chance of getting your bag vandalized though...
SSD Prices in JapanGot an SSD in my PS3 :D, but planning on upgrading my main computer to dual SSDs in RAID 0, hopefully using OCZ Vertex drives or something similar, perhaps when SATA3 comes out.
K-ON! PC Decoration StickersNice way to make an instant itasha pasacon. I'd love the looks you'd get busting this out in front of proper folks at a Starbucks or a school library. I'd like to go a step further and do a proper paint job on the side of my Antec 900 case though. Wh...
A Week in Tokyo 45I don't have any unused computers, but I have a lot of unused parts. Lots of video cards, power supplies, CPUs, memory sticks, all laying about. I'm not planning on selling them though, because I always end up using them somehow, especially when I up...
K-On! MerchandiseWave really likes their swimsuit figures. I've got Yoko, Louise, Lena Sayers, Kyon no Imouto, and now pre-ordered these two by Wave all in their swimsuits. Not that I'm complaining, but wheres my Ricchan, Mugi-chan and Azu-nyan?
