I uh.. think he needs reprogrammed.

Probably more PSP, aka PS1.5. Notice the low res textures, yet higher poly counts.

The answer may always be Miata, but the statement is always Beauty Leopard.

Lock me up! I’m a slasher, and I must be stopped!

Man, I liked this movie, but it was not what I expected going in. I was thinking “Wait, what are they doing? What’s with all these beach hijinks?”

Park it in places you aren’t supposed to park (not handicapped, though!). I bet you don’t get ticketed.

Toyota wasn’t kidding when they said there was no room for boring.

It’s set *during* the restoration, thus “Ishin.” Ee janai ka.

It even had the uh... awkward Mari Yaguchi special massage business. I had no idea she’d gone that way...

You too, huh? I ordered Ishin and Zero from HMV Japan, but picked up RGG Kenzan!, RGG 5, Kurohyou and Kurohyou 2 at various establishments in Akihabara. I loved those Traders places. Really, most of those used item shops there were great. I loved how the clerks made a point to show me the condition of the manuals,…

Seriously. And if they’re truly collectors, they’ll already have a copy of the Japanese release on the shelf anyway.

Crap! I have to get dialup to upload my save somewhere!

Will he also declare the foundation of the galactic American empire?

Yeah, those disposable helicopters *sounded* like a good idea at first. I guess someone didn’t crunch the numbers.

I had planned on mentioning the AT&T thing, but I couldn’t find the Ars article on it. I totally agree. Everything is worthy of the skepticism on its own merit.

I agree it’s important to wait to see how it’s going to be upon release, but I don’t think the suspicion is entirely unfounded. If they did say they were going to probe the network, their marketing folks would tie it to a feature, and explain why it’s a good thing. But, as you said, it’s best to wait for the product…

Weds Carrowin. AKA generic-ass Japanese steel wheel.

Well, Japanese curry is different, but Indian restaraunts are well differentiated, and often ran by Indian immigrants. They are also delicious and love it when non-Japanese people who love spicy food come in.

Some phones have GPS that likes to turn the phone into a toaster and drain the battery, even with offline maps. Dedicated GPS units also seem to do a better job with positional detection. Then there’s the whole fancy VICS thing if you’re in Japan.
