I think this warrants a post
At the UWAnime quiz night a week or so back, the name of the table I was on was 'Gundam Style', after the Gangnam Style music video.
Now, Thinkgeek has come out with this.
Hilarious. :p -
I'm not sure it'll be the same
Fuji TV's remaking Iron Chef. The broadcast starts this October.
I tried watching the US version of Iron Chef before, but it just didn't have the same charm. Maybe it's that 90s feel. -
I have but one thing to say
I WANT.
Kyubey face cake made from mochi. With a kyubey spoon. Sounds so delicious... I love japanese mochi... (and Japan's desserts in general) Kyubey would be so tasty.... -
Interesting articles that have a point.

Some excerpts:
"Or take affirmations, those cheery slogans intended to lift the user’s mood by repeating them: “I am a lovable person!” “My life is filled with joy!” Psychologists at the University of Waterloo concluded that such statements make people with low self-esteem feel worse - not least because ( Read more... ) -
Google's Hurdle Doodle
I tried to get 3 medals, but it seems you need to do faster than 11.8s to achieve it, so I gave up after a while. My fastest time was 14.9s. (2 medals)

It's fundraising for The Oak Tree Foundation, to combat and raise awareness about extreme poverty, and the challenge is to ( Read more... ) -
Allow me to stab someone
Preferably the committee who came up with this game concept.
With this post, I christen a new tag, Japan - wtf.
I know the birth rate in Japan is pretty dire, but I don't really think this will do anything to improve it. :p There are so many things wrong with this game concept; I'm not even going to touch them. -
Inu X Boku SS episodes 1 & 2
This show is quietly creepy. ^^''' Enjoyable, but also quietly creepy. I don't think the animation's that great, (some of the direction is a bit stilted; I think that's the word for it) and the OP and ED aren't really all that great (actually, the ED animation is kind of creepy... do they even realise just what they're portraying ( Read more... )
