No kidding. And that's where all the poor, yanki-trash go to buy clothes even uglier than GU.

Personally, I think WiiU should just get rid of the gamepad. It's awkward, not comfortable to hold, and overall pretty useless.

"taptaptap" made me laugh. :-D

GU has the butt-ugliest clothes! And they will barely last a few washings. Cannot stress enough how shitty the quality is.

I find the music quite generic, actually. One of the low points of the game for me. The game is fantastic though!

Crisis Core was awesome! I should pick that up again to play on the Vita...

I hate passports. Mine is an absolute mess, with stamps, visa's and cards stapled randomly throughout. Most immigrations don't care where they stamp. It's obnoxious.

Yeah, no idea what the couch means. Probably a good thing.

They tend to be the cheapest fruit in Japan. On average 100-200 yen per bunch. Some Dole bananas reach 300 yen per bunch.

Oh, and it's supposed to go up to 10% in 2 years. These are the desperate moves Japan needs to do to make money now that 1 in 4 people are elderly and they have no young people to take their place.

I doubt it. One thing MS is great at is fractioning, pissing off, and shrinking there fanbase. This is a worldwide talent of theirs. I can't imagine there will be too many supporters here. Too many bridges burned.

Well, I'm talking about in Japan only. Sony is mainstream here. But of course all systems have their share of niche titles.

Right. And it was MS's final nail in the 360's coffin. It became known as the "creepy otaku" system. I suppose if they just intend to carry on that tradition, that's wonderful. But if they want to compete with Sony and Nintendo, this isn't going to cut it.

Slightly related. I found this Pepsi Shot drink in a vending machine the other day. It looked like a Red Bull can, and promoted the high level of caffiene in it. Is this a Japan-only drink, or is this Pepsi Shot in America as well?

Honestly, I don't know why MS is bothering. They aren't even winning on their home turf, let alone a country they've already failed in twice before.

It's a bit more complicated than that. Japan just had a consumption tax increase from 5% to 8%. While difficult for many here, the psychological effect it's had has caused people to buy pretty much nothing. Sales of everything have dropped, especially expensive, non-essentials like PS4.

The only thing I see in this video are the words "bargain bin".

I loved NNN. It had some cheap bosses towards the end, but it had a lot of personality.

I clicked on the link because it mentioned Massachusetts. I thought that maybe it would be interesting.
