I hope my book gets here soon... I still haven't read it! I ordered a copy on Amazon, but after winning the contest gave it away... then when I got Luis' copy, I didn't want to mess up the spine or anything.

They transport them alive to avoid the possibility of their livers rupturing, which would poison the entire fish and render it worthless.

Wow, I wonder how much that will push back the NA release...

Contest time, huzzah! I have an idea... not incredibly scary, but still cool. The problem is the material. Soft styrofoam crushes and breaks too easily, same problem with most paper constructs... I'd have to go with wood, hard paper mache, some really dense foam, or something similar.

I don't really see the appeal in a UFC game... but then again, pro wrestling games seem incredibly bland and pointless to me, and they're pretty popular...

@VladMalice: Yeah, but she's almost always referred to as Amanda by the other editors.

@Brian Crecente: Forget the tissues... everyone, everywhere, in Japan hands out tissues. The real gem there is the Zumin cell phone strap!

Looking at the picture, I was thinking, "is that heart made of konyaku and kamaboko? Nasty..."

Wait, why would there be any doubt? I mean, I've never met a single man named Amanda.

@Eapen Leubner: HA! That's not half bad.

For some reason, I always cringe when I see people put the shrine water in their mouths...

Oh wow, that's terrible. I can't imagine what I would do if something happened to one of my dogs... Hopefully Elle pulls through without any serious complications, the unnamed dog can be treated before it gets much worse, and Littlefoot manages to dodge the bullet.

@Atheist Jew: Atheist Jew, the Shinto-practicing Catholic!

@Alex Lazaré: As a well-known viking, I approve.

I don't have much to say about most of the pictures... but in those long coats, you and your wife look like X-Files cosplayers.

@rexdart007: Mo' like 9.80665.

I think it's more a matter of, why didn't arcades in Japan and Korea fail? I love arcades, but in most cases the entertainment provided by them isn't worth the money you put in. Any market will become over saturated with time, especially entertainment markets, and especially in North America.

I get the reference!

Noitu Love was a pretty good game... I didn't really get into it, but it was good. Noitu Love 2, however, is amazing.
