God of War

Hey, look what arrived in the mail today.

Nope, this is not the watered down Japanese version. This version is full of gore, brutality, sex, blood, violence, carnage, butchery and bloodiness. Did I miss anything?

Read on the Japanese wiki page that quite a few scenes as well as gameplay had to be modified for sale in Japan. For example, no sacrificing of humans to solve puzzles – monsters are used instead.

Big Cats

They aren’t brothers,
though I substituted some for others.
Can you find the pattern and answer,
to this catty puzzle?

I know… it’s a horrible rhyme.

三社共催新年会

Shinnenkai  018

I had the privilege of being invited to the New Year Party at MLB Cafe held by Good Smile Company, COSPA and BushiRoad. Three big players in the Otaku industry.

I think MLB refers to Major League Baseball. The Cafe, just a few minutes walk from Ebisu station, is located right opposite Yebisu Garden Place.

Lupin Steal Japan

Lupin III (ルパン三世, Rupan Sansei) has beaten the Empire to it and stolen the beloved Moyai Statue from Shibuya station!

Where do you suppose he is hiding the Moyai Statue? I don’t think he’s hiding her at the Lupin Station Tokyo. ^^.

Send Lupin a personal “steal request” at steal-japan.jp.

What would you like stolen? All the trains in Japan maybe? ^^.

Lupin Station Tokyo

Took this at Tokyo Dome City. There’s quite a number of Lupin collectibles available at this store. I like Lupin and his gang. Although my favorite anime is Castle of Cagliostro, my eyes always light up when Fujiko’s on screen. ^^.

Obama superheroes

Saw these on the shelf recently going for ¥3980 each. So what do you reckon?

Is POTUS Barack Obama a Jedi or a Kryptonian? Mace Obama or Obamaman?

Wii Sports Resort

New loot from Yodabashi today. Wii Sports Resort and Wii Motion Plus! I forgot my Yodobashi card, but I still went ahead and bought it on impulse! The only part of the game I was interested in was チャンバラ (cyanbara). Check out the video and you will see what I mean.
