Eroge Websites BlockedAnyone can enter the site through a proxy, it mostly a way of protesting the unfair treatment their industry is getting abroad.
Even on the actual page they have this on the very bottom:

Transformers Revenge JapanFor some reason I'm expecting to run into Elias from Clerks 2 at the Transformers movie. ^^
"Since God created man, and man created the Transformers, the Transformers are like a gift from God, Randal!"
Gundam OdaibaMy gut feeling is that by the time they take it down, there will be some pretty attractive offers from shopping malls or museums and it will end up being a permanent exhibit somewhere (indoors). I'm pretty sure they can't keep it up indefinitely in O...
11 Year Old College GraduateI don't think his dismissal of video games is as thought out as some people tend to assume here. (He's 11, remember?) It sort of sounds like his parents and/or teachers have over-socialised him to the point where he completely buys into the "Otaku an...
Otaku Encyclopedia... What? Did he leave out "Nida" or did he just write one entry for Ascii Art including Mona and Nida?
<`∀´> Why didn't I get an entry under "N" nida?
Otaku EncyclopediaI don't see how he could have left out Daicon IV... For one thing he has to include Densha Otoko, Nihon SF Taikai and Gainax (he did, right?) and he's going to have to mention Daicon IV there...
11 Year Old College Graduate>Shame that he won't have childhood stories to tell when he is older, and that when he has children, would he

11 Year Old College GraduateHe'll be sorry by the time he's 30... ^^; There's plenty of time for him to get a PhD, but he's never going to get another shot at being 11. I wonder why his parents allow him to do this...
11 Year Old College GraduateNot all Jews are smart... Israel has an average IQ of 94. Eastern European Jews do have a high average IQ (about 108 or so which is the same as the Japanese, South Korea and Hong Kong). Anyway that's waay off topic.
20090602 Giveaway - Final RoundHmmm... Those chairs look like their from one of those over-the-top "we're so trendy" shops that sell you stuff for triple what I'd pay, so since I'd pay ¥50,000 max, I'd say they're asking for ¥150,000... ^^;
For whatever reason those chairs strike...
A Week in Tokyo 39> Please put this card on your breast, or other conspicuous body parts.
They know the kind of skebes the security guards are so that's the first place they look. ^^;
...
wait...
they gave *you* that card?
werid, weird...
Otaku GraduationI noticed several people had mentioned this was a joke on the part of melonpan, but they didn't provide a link or quote of where he says it... Well here it is, straight from melonpan's blog:

Otaku Graduation> But even if it isn't, you have to admit being an otaku - particularly an otaku that *collects* -

Wow, I think you're wrong. Being an otaku pretty much...
Otaku GraduationI really feel bad for Melonpan.
Why?
Well, he's acting in an immature and impulsive way, and his motivation is based on a series of fallacies.
He's noticed that (in his opinion) many otaku don't have a successful life in the "real" world, and (al...
Book Off>A man aged 47 was arrested by police of the Nara prefecture for dumping 284 ero books/magazines (adult >material) together with 53 videos (DVD?) in a field.

Yokosuka> Bags of that fluffy sweet stuff that looks like cotton wool - wotsit called?
Cotton Candy ^^
> Love these stones with kanji written on them. Not sure what they are called though.
Stelae. (石碑=せきひ or 碑=いしぶみ in Japanese) ^^
Nihon University> Some people tell me "Japan is not as good as you think, go to America instead."
That's a very foolish and ignorant thing to say. First of all, there are many schools in Japan, ranging from the incredibly good to the incredibly aweful, and there a...
Japanese Vending MachinesHmm... If that machine would ever exist anywhere on Earth, it would have to be Akihabara. Actually the idea of a vending machine selling life-size erotic toy dolls in Akihabara is not *that* far-fetched. It would charge a lot more than ¥100, though.....
