I played this online with my son over the weekend. I’m into RPG’s and he’s into shooters. We had an amazing time! But that ending... I was playing Vincent and there was just NO WAY I could even put up a fight against my son. So I got frustrated. Like SO frustrated because his health wasn’t going down AT ALL and I was…

Unless they changed something recently, you can’t get OTC medicine at a konbini. You have to go to a drugstore, which are also everywhere. I learned this the hard way years ago because I was too afraid to ask questions. Spent hours wandering around looking for aspirin, when I could have just asked someone and they…

I can’t/won’t skim through almost 1000 comments, so this might be mentioned by others already, but the JR pass can actually be bought for 1 week, 2 weeks, or 3 weeks.

Also, Wifi Pocket Routers can be rented that are amazing. My husband and I just got back from a trip to Japan last weekend and we rented a pocket wifi…

In 1993, when I was pregnant with my son, my now ex-husband bought me a SNES with Super Mario World so that I would have something to do while bored at home during the later part of my pregnancy.

A new Pokemon game was coming out, so I wanted to trade in my old one to reserve the new one. Since my husband and son also played, we figured we’d trade all 3 in at once and reserve 3 copies of the new one. I can’t remember what iteration of Pokemon it was. I want to say Black & White, but I can’t remember. In any…

@MagicMagicPony: Ah, the Super Mario routine. :)

There's a company that's doing something like that on Oahu in Hawaii.

I dragged my husband all over Akihabara, through arcades, and all that on my honeymoon some five years ago... It was a blast. =) We spent so much money on games, action figures, anime goods... Oh man. We're always talking about doing it again. I would totally recommend to anyone that they experience all that…

So far I've gotten through 11 rankings. I have to say, this is kind of fun. :) There are movies that I forgot I had seen. And then there are the ones that I keep meaning to watch, but haven't yet. I can see myself playing with this for HOURS... I'll have to tell my husband about it, too. He's a movie junkie. …
