It's 3 months. The PS4 will do well in Japan, but it won't do as well as it could have and this whole situation is only exacerbating Sony's already tenuous relationship with Japanese consumers. I'm talking bigger picture here; people will remember this kind of thing when they decide what TVs or digital cameras or cell…

It's understandable what Microsoft is doing. I mean, this has never been a big market for them. What Sony has done, on the other hand, is a betrayal.

Wait, so you don't even need to be a UK or Commonwealth citizen to take the UK bar exam?

How can you put somebody on a list if you don’t care about them?

Either put some time and thought into the story, or just do away with the story entirely. Far Cry 3 is the only game I can think of that would have been better with no story at all than the story we got.

Are you kidding me? Norwegian Wood was a horrible bastardization of Murakami's novel that cut out the most important parts of the book.

Wait, he ripped up the porno magazine and drove it to the dump? Is he also trying to ban fire or something?

I live in Japan, and one thing that ruins it for me is when girls say that they like "foreign guys" and then can't really elaborate on why or even what country.

Where the hell are the Metropolitan Police?

Metal detecting will pay off...eventually.

It is pretty awkward to have a family member owe you a lot of money and know that they would pay it back if they could, but...

The Devil Wears Prada may have been about women, but was the movie really doing a service to women? As a man, it's hard for me to say, really, but it felt like the movie was portraying a highly caricatured view of what can be called, "the world of the modern woman."

I think that the tax write-off for having children is the other side of the legal obligation to take care of one's own children. I see it as part of the Social Contract, in which society demands of parents that they care for their children and, in return, society gives those parents a tax break.

A Department of Education crackdown? That sounds awesome! I can't wait to see the Bruckheimer treatment.

This really sounds like the kind of thing that a psychopath would write. And I mean that in a serious and literal sense. I mean, this guy seems like he would fit the clinical definition of psychopathy to the letter.

I'm guessing it will be vaguely similar to 20th Century Boy...

Emperor Meiji did no such thing. That policy was enacted in his name by the oligarchs who were actually running the country at the time. The Emperor, as he had been throughout the last thousand years of Japanese history, was little more than a figurehead.

You could make the same claim about fan fiction. You could also look up the word "canon" (with one "n").

No, the one that came first is canon. Anime is usually based on manga so the manga is usually canonical, but in this case it was the anime that came first.

I haven't been in many Korean girls' rooms, so I've got to ask: is that typical? That looks like an enlarged version of a Barbie play set.
