They need to let Kiryu retire and take care of orphans already.

This is the greatest.

That’s probably what it is. You’d have to be really weird to go to Japan and go to a game center with only your native currency. Video game companies have a lot of connections with the Yakuza right? This is probably some ridiculous way for them to smuggle money into the country.

Bidets are awesome. One of the best things about my time in Japan was sitting on a heated seat and having water sprayed in my ass.

I was trying to organize getting a tattoo the last time I went to Japan but the artist suddenly cut off contact. It was a shame because his work looked great.

Cherry blossom flavor is the best. Have you had the kitkats or cherry-blossom mochi?

Just a few more years before 22.3 years when it becomes funny.

No storage medium is safe.

FF7’s story isn’t that great but the combat and materia system are, in my opinion, the among most honed turn based battle systems. I’ll probably pass on this now.

I think it’s wasteful to throw things away (or in this case, send to the ether) that aren’t broken. I would much rather give something away or donate or sell something. In this case, it’s not taking up space and you can already hide it from your library. If you do this, you’re just nuking your rights to a product for…

It’s similar to the whole piracy/theft thing. When you throw a game away (which is something I would never do. If I wanted to get rid of a game, I’d sell it or give it to someone), you are getting rid of a physical object that is taking up real space. When you delete a license, you are eliminating a possession that…

How nuts is the PC game market that the option to permanently delete a license for a purchased product is something that someone desires?

I saw an ad for a server position at a restaurant in Harajuku that paid 1000 yen/hr (about $9). I can’t imagine Hooters would pay much higher than that and in Japan there’s no tipping to supplement those wages. Why would an attractive Japanese woman accept a job where they have to talk to several men who are leering…

With hostess clubs being so big in Japan, I don’t understand why any attractive Japanese woman would accept a job that involved talking to men while they drink for the low wages that this place is guaranteed to pay.

Scene from a recent Konami press briefing.

I don’t see the big deal. The game still works on the old system and this is nothing like the cell phone industry where revisions happen annually or even more often like with the Xperia.

You should really play the second game anyway. It’s fantastic.

Don’t believe their lies.

Everybody who was somebody back then was virgin birth.
