I chuckled at this, but then I thought a “hoverboard” that spits flames on purpose would actually be pretty sweet.

Yeah. Looking at that comment history, there’s some severe “infallable Japan” defense force going on here. Don’t get me wrong. I love Japan, and I’m willing to bet Brian does too, but you can’t pretend it doesn’t have issues; all nations have issues. A person can’t move somewhere and not have their criticisms of their…

Chill, bro. She was born and raised in Japan. She’s a Japanese citizen. When she participates in the census, she’s Japanese. They don’t record ethnicity, only nationality. She’s as American as Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd. which is none, none American, despite being founded by one.

For me, half the excitement is unboxing something that doesn’t have someone else’s grubby-ass fingerprints on it. I’ve got very fast internet, and while PSN is slow, it’s better than it used to be. Don’t be a-touchin’ the innards of my presents.

Who runs this clusterfuck?

In all fairness, it is quite a looker. It was based off of a fairly handsome, albeit slightly anonymous, generation of Camry. Really, the biggest let-down was that it was based on an FWD Camry when it was supposed to compete with RWD luxury sedans. Then again, it’d be nearly another decade until we would be introduced…

Looking at the wheel size and placement, this thing looks like it’s built off some 20-year old Japanese compact platform.

I don’t disagree with you, but I starred that because it was a funny picture.

Don’t forget the Netflix original drama: Atelier/Underwear. It was a joint production with Fuji TV, but the only place it aired was in Japan, naturally. Netflix considers it an original in all territories, though.

ATM: You looked at me funny, didn’t you. I’m going to teach you a lesson, old man.

Is this the Resonance of Fate mod?

That’s a fair usage case. For me, my laptop already has it, and my old desktop had all the internal storage I need for high speed access, so I didn’t have the need. I generally have a slight distrust for USB WiFi cards anyway.

If you’re spending that sort of money for a USB 3.0 card and AC adapter, I think it’s worth looking at an actual wifi card, unless you’ve especially got other reasons to get a USB 3.0 card, like a Hard drive. I’m a big fan of Intel’s 802.11AC PCIe adapter with external antenna and Bluetooth 4.0.

I agree. I bought it anyway, but I’m worried it will never come, because I’m fairly certain Frostbite can’t deal with manual transmissions.

I bet Mazdatrix and Castrol love this guy.

Ah. The magic “T” word. Now, they’re unhealthy to be sure, but I “toxic” is pure hyperbole. Also, I drink a lot of water anyway, but I pretty much need immediate alertness during a maintenance window. There’s no undo button for what I do.

Sometimes you need a pick me up on your way to work on the one-odd day you have to go in at 2AM for scheduled maintenance and don’t want to burn yourself with a coffee because you drive a car with a manual that’s awesome 95-99% of the time and inconvenient in these specific cases.

I always thought they made fun of American cars because every 90’s GM seemed to have rusty wheel arches, peeling trim, worn cruise control/radio buttons, spongey steering wheels, sagging rear suspension, and that same damn exhaust leak after 5 or so years. Ford seemingly escaped some of this by having the most spartan…

I didn’t even finish 4 to get to play my Japanese copy of 5 I bought last year. Also, now I’m going to have to pony up and buy copies for my friends who don’t care about Yakuza. Alternatively, I suppose it’s a good Christmas gift opportunity. Since PSN doesn’t allow gifting, I’m thinking a PSN gift card, a note, and a…
