Do the people making this list just hate RPGs? The genre seems woefully underrepresented.

I think you might be going a little too far in describing the differences between the Japanese and American media. I've been getting my news mostly from the news tab at google.jp and more than half of the articles I've seen over the past week have been about the nuclear power plant (these are all Japanese news…

@dubious_maximus: I assure you, the Japanese language does have profanity.

Michael Bay is seriously going to make a goddamn movie about this thing.

You're wrong. Aieki is not semen. Aieki (literally "love juice") is the fluid secreted from a woman's vagina when she's in the mood for a nice, hot, chinpo.

@GunFlame: was hit for 25 damage. GunFlame fainted.: I'll one-up you: I do not like Kyoto. Kyoto has nice things to see, but it's always so crowded and the public transportation is just terrible. One of my coworkers (he's from Osaka, but lives in Kyoto with his wife, who's from Kyoto) and he told me that Kyoto people…

@Taiko_Oni: I'm assuming that the classes where it did work were at least cooperative, which makes it a pretty high level school in my opinion. Anyway, I'm a salaryman now and not keen on looking back.

The thing about this picture that grabbed my attention and still has me wondering is, "The guy's using Yahoo?"

@Azel: I am not even a Japanese citizen, nor have I worked for JET, but I pay my taxes here and I am bloody angry that the government is still spending tax money on that bullsh*t.

@Taiko_Oni: How the hell do you expect to do a class in all English with 40 different students of varying English levels?

The Japanese don't try to learn English. They try to memorize it. Even with conversation, they try to remember set phrases and entire conversations.

@Azel: That is not a translation error. It says exactly the same thing in Japanese as it does in English. I'm not kidding. It says to break the wall off and escape.

Maybe intelligent people take better care of their health (i.e. not fat).

Hell, the guy deserves a job at DARPA, if you ask me.

@USMarty_v.3: I can understand if a person hasn't heard of Chelmno, even though it was the first death camp (in the sense of existing primarily for that purpose and having the first gas chambers), but how could anyone not have heard of either Dachau or Bergen-Belsen?

@Goldwings: Does the Chintendo vii have a vibrating function?

Red Dead Redemption would have been so good if every single mission wasn't the exact same thing: get on your horse, ride out somewhere, shoot a bunch of people, the end.

Look, let's face it: this law is not going to be enforced. There might be a few big stings/arrests once in a while when the Metropolitan Police Department has nothing better to do, but, as it is, the police (who barely do anything when real children are involved) aren't going to do much.

Go to the store five minutes before they close and see if there are any steaks left and see if there's a 50% off sticker. If there isn't, ask somebody in the meat section when they might put a sticker on it. They'll sometimes do it for you right then and there. It's worth it.

@JKLoogie: I've always thought of it as being like Nelson's (from the Simpsons) "Hah-hah!"
