Nice of everyone to dress to the nines with bowties for the occasion.

It is definitely stupid expensive for what it is at this point unless you're pretty obsessed. I do feel like part of my willingness to spend so much is because I'll now always have early adopter memories. I can say "I was there!", like some person who overpaid for tickets to some notable c...

Screen door effect is improved over DK2, but still noticeable for sure. That, resolution, and increasing field of view are the obvious areas of improvement for future hardware.

I'm pretty open to a new MacGyver, but that trailer didn't really sell that one to me.

My Oculus Rift CV1 arrived yesterday. Only have a bit of chance to check it out today. First thoughts: For being more expensive and nearly a couple years later, a pretty marginal improvement on DK2 in image quality. It's a bit sharper which is nice, and aided by the new ability to somewhat adjust ho...

11th gen was under 3 months from application deadline to announcement. 12th gen was about 4.5 months. Kanon's grad would be about 3.5 months since the latest application deadline, so it seems plausible.

So with C-ute, ANGERME, and Morning Musume all releasing singles in the last month, the release list seems pretty empty. Tsubaki Factory's mini-album has its wider release in a few days, then?

I finally took some pictures for @misuken_now.

On the whole I really enjoyed Civil War. Even with a lot more characters it managed to not feel as bloated as Batman v Superman, and definitely a lot more fun. However, I did feel like sometimes which side a character was on was based more on "We need them about even" and "Wouldn't it...

I may be a liiiiiittle late to the party, but I've just gotten into Minecraft. I first tried it when it was pretty new, but this was a couple PCs ago and it was running like garbage for me, so I stopped. A few years later I borrowed access to a friend's account for a while, but without using externa...

Whatever they sold on lower-ranking Thursday and Friday will add a little more, but we know for sure that through Sunday they've passed 50K for the first time.

=?

I got my @misuken_now package a few days back, too. Waiting for some better weather before I try to take a decent picture for him at a minor local landmark of this rural area. Aside from the book and included photo I got *One and Only Riho keychain *H!P Official Shop bag *Tsumetai Kaze to Kataomoi /...

The single had a 10K second day, meaning this is already their best first week with four days still to go.   And that 360 video is incredibly up my alley, having a VR headset. I downloaded the video file, loaded it in a player called Whirligig, toyed with the settings until I found the right setting...

Ha, that is a good suggestion. I fail to see anything like a year on it to narrow it down. Searching a bit more with "モップ" I did find at least one other Hello! Project mop, though with a heart design seems more like a product I'd expect to see.

OK, this is not a new purchase, but maybe the strangest thing in my collection? I thought maybe someone here would know why such a thing even exists. I bought it from dora_ts17, where the item title was "S/mileage Hello project original mop Japan NEW". Does the Hello! Project store regular...

I've never been very big into either Fire Emblem or Shin Megami Tensei, so I paid very little attention to the crossover game that's been in the works for years. But now that its Western release is approaching (as Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE in about 2 months) and I'm seeing more about it, at least th...

So the explanation has to be that Maho grew horns and this was the best way to cover up the situation?

I won some eBay auctions recently and got both some Mr.Moonlight phone straps of all then-13 members, plus this cute Yaguchi.

I started up a new game of Skyrim on a whim to see how much I could progress without using any weapons, sticking to towns and doing things like thievery and crafting. Quite far, at least from a level standpoint. I got unexpectedly sucked back in and have a few dozen hours in, and am around level 30....

I went to check what the prices were, only to discover that they're not releasing the 3D version until later in the year. Wha? I know 3D isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's not like it isn't already done, or there's added difficulty in printing 3D discs, so I wonder why it's not day-and-date with ...

Miitomo is pretty fun to mess around with, though its methods of adding friends are kind of limited. The good news is you can easily find people who you follow (and who also follow you) on Twitter, as well as Facebook friends. The bad news is the only other option is a face-to-face one where you som...

If it were released on one of their systems people would call it a non-game, but Nintendo proper's first smartphone app Miitomo is now available most places in the world. If you don't know it, it seems like it's something between Facebook, Tomodachi Life, and the old Everybody Votes Channel. Google ...

I'm sure they exist, but I probably haven't seen them for a couple decades myself. :) Maybe someday.
