I picked mine up at the Animate in Ikebukuro. They had a big stack of the binders. The magazine seems a bit thin to me, but I guess that's the nature of these things. I think it's absolutely hilarious there's a profile on Mash from Macross II in the first issue, hopefully that's a good sign they'll be focusing on Macross II as well.

Wow, shipping for Himeya Shop seems really expensive. Might be worth it for people to shop around with shops like ncsx.com and play-asia.com.

No, they wouldn't. BGC is a very, very niche title.

Well, generally Asian versions just come with a small sheet with the instructions in English. Nothing you wouldnt be able to find on gamefaqs.com.

Nearly all the in game graphics are viewable as .bmp's on the game disc.

It's funny that a fanboy like yourself enjoys coming into these threads and shitting over the supposed fanboys, when you're as much of a dweeb as they are.

Pot... Kettle... Black Oh god it's hilarious

Just be sure that if you do hack your PSP, do some research and be sure to back up the NAND data. The chances of it getting messed up are slim, but if it does your PSP will be unrecoverable and as NAND data is unit specific, you won't be able to fix it.

For some reason when I saw the title of the thread I thought it was about Outlanders, the manga by Joji Manabe.

Katamari was a crap game. You wouldn't want it anyways.

Japan won't be getting FF13 on the 360 because really, why bother? It'll be released in the US on the PS3 and the 360 at the same time, however.

That was a boring, awful MS press event. But uh, Final Fantasy 13 announced for the 360. Really, really bad news for the PS3.

It doesn't even have a release date, so you probably won't see it listed until they announce when it's coming out.

You can remap buttons to the analog nub, but it doesn't always work that well. In fact, when playing VFX-2 on my PSP I was never able to find a decent control scheme. In was particularly uncontrollable in Gerwalk mode. I gave up after a few levels.

Saw GitS 2.0 with Save last night. It was um, strange. The same movie shot for shot, just with added CG and a color shift from green to orange. Didn't change a thing in terms of story, pacing or characters. I wrote up a post on my site here if you're interested in a more detailed explanation.

Or how about Games Workshop, which Blizzard has ripped off continually for the last 15 years? Edit: Also, I'm fairly certain the Monster was a Miyatake design, not a Kawamori.

But if you hack your PSP, converting PS1 games to play on it is a cinch.

Well, they did Otomedius. Which is the same boring Namco shooter gameplay now with more moe. And touch screens.

I still see way more Ferrari's than new GT-R's, oddly enough. It's nice to see Japanese companies getting back in the habit of making kickass cars again. The 350z and STi always felt kind of halfassed compared to the stuff Japan was making in the mid to late 90's, so it's nice to see them getting back into it.

It won't be cheap, but it might be worth looking into one of the controller converters for the 360. Last I heard they required an official 360 controller to be plugged in to ride piggyback, but it might give you more options to look at it. The lack of a decent d-pad is the one thing holding the 360 pad back from greatness. Have you thought about trying the sanding mod?

Fansubs have been around since 1988-1989.

Probably because you're popping a woody over the sexualization of an animated character that is intended to look like a child.

People do it all the time, dude. Just because someone drives an american car doesn't make them any less of an idiot compared to the moron in the slammed honda.

That new Saleen looks tacky as hell.

You're a creepy guy.
