Oh my, the Barrel Master Race is here.

We get it. Barrels are more powerful but boxes are just cheaper and more affordable for most of people. Besides, my boxes are smaller, less noisy and fit nicely with the rest of my living room's items.

This Japanese shrooms ad is also bordering on....

Oh, Uplink! I was just there 2 weeks ago to watch the excellent ハーフ so maybe I should pay another visit soon :)

They are 'cheating' a bit with the EVO by using the cheaper 3-Bit TLC. It achieves its great speed by emulating SLC. Theoretically, it has a shorter lifespan than the more traditional 2-Bit MLC (EVO comes with 3-year warranty as opposed to the 5-year warranty that comes with the MLC-based 840 Pro versions; which only…

Right... those SSDs are being held back by SATA III so don't expect any super performance from PS4's ancient SATA II interface.

Still waiting for Akira, yeah!

The cut scenes alone in MGS were close to 5 hours so I don't know how you can finish it the first time in under 3 hours. Again, as I said above, I am talking about the whole experience and not gameplay only.

I doubt MGS has 13 hours of cut scenes.

I am sure you can beat it in a very short time once you are familiar with most of the game. To me, it's the experience of going through the game the first time that matters most. We'll see what GZ offers.

It took me over 17 hours to beat MGS4 the first time (cutscenes count of course since this is MGS) and that's without doing everything there is to do. PS1 MGS took me less than 15 hours to clear.

I'm sure Luke is aware of the 'infamous' word (see the topmost image). He is just questioning the difference in usage of lowercase for the 'in' part and uppercase for the FAMOUS part; leading him to wonder if the nuance is different from that of the word as it exists in the English language.

Mostly likely, it's just a…

That's next gen. We'll talk about that in 2020.

Maybe not... there is a good chance The Phantom Pain will not include the GZ segment (or include it as a DLC). I would like to consider this as Episode 1.

There was a 'we don't want foreigners' march in Shinjuku a couple of months ago. Point is, racism exists everywhere. Even between the same people. However, just because a few individuals exhibit it, doesn't mean an entire people should be made guilty of it. This video caused a bit of a stir on the Internet earlier…

That's racist. Hating on MSG because it was popularized by the Japanese? :P

A few possibilities come to mind:

You start playing the game. It looks good. Immediately, things feel different. More... next-gen. You can stream gameplay on platforms like Twitch and Ustream (but you can't share it to YouTube yet). You can press the Share button on your controller to export the last 15 minutes of gameplay, which is automatically…

MacArthur was a ruthless dictator

Speaking of Host(ess) Clubs, according to Tokyo Vice, these exist in Japan because there is a strong stigma on going to the psychiatrist in Japan. Apparently, people would equate that to having a mental illness of sorts. These clubs exist as a replacement, the book adds.

The origin of my username is boring. You can even look it up in a Japanese-English dictionary.

Well, you can upgrade to Mavericks for free!
