  Damn, sometimes I get that weird feeling that I'm living on an alien planet - why exactly does anyone care what (or who) do the people reading the news do? I mean, honestly, WHY is that important? I really don't care if a guy or gal reading stuff he/she didn't…

  What? New? I've been addicted to these a while ago - at least 2 years ago and possibly more. Sure, they disappeared from the stores for a while, but it's definitely not new - glad to see it back though, I love the stuff.

  Oh boy, I know earthquakes are bad, I do feel for the victims, but at the thought that again for a couple of weeks 90% of TV programming will be repeating the number of people hurt, running the same video clips from shaking cameras and providing live reports showing a…

  And now, the Japanese Powers That Be are faced with a very difficult and important decision: what do we ban to solve this problem? No weapon was used, so Houston, we have a problem! Shall we ban unsupervised meetings between young people? Sudden movements of arms and legs? Or maybe…

  telecasterplayer - no, you got it all wrong - it's because people have access to long knives - that's why we must ban them and then stabbing problems will suddenly disappear! Really, the government told me so on TV, so it must be true!

  skipthesong - I believe all PS3 games (to date) are region-free, but many X360 ones aren't. You can usually work around it by buying an Asian (as in sold in Hong Kong) version online (Google PlayAsia) - most of the time they'll be left in the original English version, but…

  thepro - amen. Not to brag too much, but one of my previous bosses actually told me that to do all the work I'm doing in the time I was doing it, he'd need to hire at least three Japanese people... Too bad he didn't agree to triple my salary…
