I think Baymax is a better name for the movie. The movie is ultimately about him/it. The sentai-ish super hero team was practically irrelevant. They didn't do anything important. I personally didn't even put 2 and 2 together of why the movie was called Big Hero 6 until the very end, right before the credit roll, where…

How much is a little bit? The first 2 episodes are a little boring. It gets better starting with the third when Eren joins the army, IMO. If you watched past that and still didn't care for it, then I doubt it'll get better to you. Probably not worth your time to watch more.

I never understood Japan's obsession with cafes before I came to Japan. Maybe stuff is different outside of Tokyo, but I have found a very good reason for cafes (and American fast food places*) in Japan now - a place to sit down. Seriously, Tokyo doesn't believe in benches. I sometimes go in McDonald's and buy some…

I for one selfishly don't mind the lagging console sales in Japan that much. Console game prices drop much faster than handheld game prices as a result, especially if you buy used (which, in Japan, land of people who put a game with a tiny crack on the jewel case in the super cheap junk section, so the regular used…

Sometimes the "cold, hard world" is better than the parents. When I turned 18, my parents started charging me rent that equaled more than half of their actual rent payment. Plus I had to pay my own car insurance, gas, etc to get to work so this meant I had zero money left over. I couldn't afford to go to college. I…

The huge advantage I see to it is the weight. The most annoying thing about home console Taiko play is that the taiko controller likes to move away from you as you're playing on it. I've kinda always wanted a real Taiko no Tatsujin arcade machine so I can play multiplayer Taiko at home without worrying about the…

Yeah, this has been going on for quite a while now. If you go to Akihabara, you're guaranteed to see it. The Love Live fans (can't call it fanboys because there's *some* girls too) seem to travel in packs. They're irritating as hell, honestly, because they take up a lot of space in the Akihabara stores with the tiny…

It's not. I spent about a week in Tokyo for my honeymoon in 2010. 2 of those days were in Akihabara, and there was tons more shops I didn't visit.

Trader is best for games in Akihabara, IMO.

Yellow Submarine is in (the new) Radio Kaikan building. They don't have much in the way of dolls though... but Volks' Hobby Square is in that same building. Hobby Square is where Volks sells Dollfie Dreams, Super Dollfies, and model kits.

To show you how overpriced this is, I sent a large USPS priority mail size box to a friend full of candy/snacks for $30 + shipping (which was only maybe $7). That set of stuff you were sent is only maybe $10 worth of stuff. I am even guessing conservatively, because I have no idea how much that make your own bento…

The problem with the hug culture is that you never figure out a good way to say no. I never liked the forced hugs as a kid. I'm now in my early 30's. When a co-worker is moving on to a new job, often times they go around and hug everybody as they're saying goodbye to everyone in the office. I don't know a good way to…

I don't even live in TX right now - I do overseas absentee voting. I keep trying to vote for non-crazies, but my vote isn't enough. ;_;

You could always go to the courthouse and get legally married on Friday the 13th but then have the ceremony that everyone's invited to the next day.

I don't like the power button being on the New 3DS like that. If something gets turned the right way in my bag, I can see the 3DS getting turned off. At least the way it is on the old 3DS, there's no possible way for anything to turn it off if it's closed.

WTF at the Nico from Love Live ones. O_O

Tyler's dad was like a YouTuber before there was YouTube. You can see videos EXACTLY like this online.

How were the lines? I haven't seen anyone mention that yet.

It's actually still going on. It's just not a total eclipse anymore. Anyone who is in the viewing areas should go try to see it. It looks kinda sideways Cheshire Cat smile.

I watched the video and I realized his problem. He said when he was a kid he didn't really game much. He just watched friends play games.
