I think I have a more convoluted way to lure more females into comp sci. I will not look up actual stats here, but my experience is that a good chunk of females are in the social sciences (sociology, psychology, etc.) For those in psychology, the are usually in social and developmental psychology. Being able to…

That's been bugging me too. At first I thought it was a way to promote comments without replying. Even us non stars get the option to toggle a star once we are promoted. Could also be a way to choose which star commenters you want to read. But like for you, clicking the star doesn't seem to do anything currently.

I don't know why, but all of a sudden I felt like watching An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. I had no idea Spielberg directed this gem. Now I want another American Tail! Also starting to miss Hanna Barbera and Chuck Jones now too!

Next time I'll let you borrow my old man cane to shake at those damn kids!

Not to sound like a broken record from my previous posts, but I would include a caution to potential 3DS buyers to actually try the system out before they buy it. I know with traditional consoles you can get away with buying a system based solely on reviews and the game library, but with the 3DS you want to really…

Exactly the kind of thing I mean! Much better than the example I posted. Hopefully there will be an NGP compatible version somewhere down the line.

Small little update: you can also try Firefox 4 beta if you are like me and do not like the Chrome layout. It seems to be much better than Firefox3.5 in terms of speed and things not timing out, but it understandably doesn't have many compatible add-ons yet.

Well, at least I know I was on the right track in terms of taste! Outside of those, Fractale has a very studio Ghibli/Miyazaki feel to it if you like that style. I guess it's a little like X'amd too. There's not too much in the way of good action based shows this season unfortunately.

Small question: do we know anything about the PC or PS3 versions yet? It seems like they have only shown the 360 version each time they trot out DNF.

Yes, I know. That's why I asked if they could do something similar to what they did with some of the old Walkmans and have an external battery pack that can be plugged into the device.

Are you using Firefox on a 64bit system? I've noticed a considerable slowdown while using Firefox about a month ago. Google Chrome has been working much faster for me.

There is a bit of info about NGP I would like as well before buying it somewhere down the line. If the battery is buried, so it cannot easily be swapped out on a long trip, do the have a way to expand playtime? I remember my old Sony Walkman had this battery tube with a cable on it that could plug into the device to…

Congrats! For advice: watch out for the black sex peddlers in Shinjuku. I'm not even joking there. For some odd reason there are Africans there pimping girls. Then again, if you are ever feeling lonely I guess you could head there... or Roppongi. If you need a good chuckle, there are rows of whore houses next to a…

Quite a bit of comedy in there, good show! Well, for comedy that is kind of (I stress the kind of part) in the PP Dash & Azumanga Daioh there's Mitsudomoe. A little older but a little gem of mine was Minami-ke. Going to the older stuff again, Black Lagoon is pretty awesome, and Durarara!! is unique. Not sure how…

And soon to join this commercial failure is the Emotiv neural controller. Could still be good for disabled gamers though.

You'll have to give us something to go on. What would you say is a recent top 3 or 4 for yourself? (I know, it's hard to come up with a favorite list... at least it is for me!)

That's one serious tweet. When a forced site redesign starts affecting business for our beloved Kotaku editors, Gawker has to start listening to complaints.

On regular TV, there's House, Family Guy, and Detroit 187. I'm also one of 60 million that's discovered gold! (Gold Rush on Discovery). For an Eastern flavor I'm watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fractale, Index s2, and Gosick primarily. I have to say Fractale has been a pleasant surprise.

This is one case where I prefer the "Engrish" version.

If it was in the comment section, it is likely it was my wonky ass that posted a youtube vid of the JPN version :)
