Bought the Hot Toys Iron Man Mk VI this week. Seriously, this figure is amazing...

^ Who's the artist? Those are great!

Edit: Nevermind, got the name. Have they got a site?

Since seven years I've changed to portable gaming, I have more fun with them, than the consoles. Last month got another DS Lite for back up and a PSP Slim & Lite. Altough I've got a Sega Saturn and a PS2 NTSC/J, just for certain games.

Anyone playing Ghost Trick for the DS ?

Played and finished Ghost Trick. Fantastic game, though a bit brief. I'm now playing Okamiden, racked up 4 hours but not got very far yet. I get the feeling it's a pretty big game...

Also, I've been experimenting with different racing wheels on GT5. After 2 failures with cheap wheels I decided to get a Driving Force GT, this was a good decision Do you guys use a racing wheel? If so which one?

Glad to hear you guys in Japan are ok, I just hope further casualties are minimal...

I'm currently waiting for mine to arrive, the pics look great. They're making me get a bit impatient though!

from what I've read online, the selection of sniper rifles looks like absolute shit. reason enough for me to pass this crap up.

I don't use sniper rifles so for me this isn't an issue but I have seen a lot of complaints about this...

Also:

GT5 to be released in the PAL region on 24th November 2010

I'm taking this news with a pinch of salt, will let you know in a couple of weeks if this is reality

I got Black Ops on Tuesday. Enjoying both the single and multiplayer modes

Played the demo for Enslaved today. I think Ninja Theory has made another winner

Managed to find a UK based company to get MP Rodimus from for £126.99/$196.78/¥16,810. Free delivery and import fees/taxes paid for (considering the cost/size this will be at least £50 extra!). Not too bad I reckon...

England blatently sucks then as not even TRU is stocking Generations or Hunt for the Decepticons at the moment! (At least not online...)

Well let's see. I'm currently watching...

The second season of Strike Witches

I don't know about you guys across the pond but I'm having a hard time finding Peg here in England...

Ended up getting Battle Blade Bumblebee. This is the first movie BB toy I've bought since the original two and I am so glad I didn't. Definitely the best deluxe version released in my opinion

For those who played the HAWX 2 demo, how easy/hard did you find mid-air refueling and landing? Landing was pretty straight forward but I found the refueling a pain...

Has anyone else got GX-44 Taiyou no Shisa Tetsujin 28? I bought it while in Japan in June and I think it's a really cool SoC

From videos posted on youtube, it looks very good.

I've got it and can say it's very good in my opinion

Slighty OT but just completed chapter 2 of War For Cybertron and found my favourite piece of dialogue from the game so far:

Skywarp: Did you see that?

Thundercracker: You mean that creepy looking thing that just jumped over the side?

SW: Yeah

TC: Nope, I didn't see anything

Starscream: I should've left you two on the station!

Me and my girlfriend had similar situations while there a few weeks ago. We were on the Metro in Tokyo one morning and this guy sat opposite us tryed to make conversation in English with my girlfriend. She just smiled and nodded, mainly because she couldn't make out what he was saying. Also, in Nara, a group of middle school children walking by were saying hello (again to my girlfriend) while I was taking a photo of the Todaiji temple gate.

If recall correctly there were a few other moments she had too, this was probably due to her looking like a stereotypical foreigner (blonde, fair skinned, blue eyes).

Still, we saw the funny side of it, even though it was a bit annoying at times

Any of you guys been playing War For Cybertron online? How is it?

Hey guys, I am in Tokyo for one whole month!

Staying at Roppongi Hills!

Any fellow Macross-geeks around?

I'll be there in just over a weeks time

If you guys really want to be able to use functional Japanese you pretty much have to spend a chunk of time in the country in real situations, the classroom will only get 99% of people so far. I have met 1 or 2 extremely intelligent individuals who spoke well without ever going to Japan but that is really the exception. Thats not to say class and study time isn`t valuable, it will prepare you to take in more information and learn much faster once you get to Japan.

To be honest I doubt I'll be able to do that. If I get the chance to do do a third trip to Japan it probably won't be for a long time, being in a full-time job and a long-term relationship stack the odds against me. Oh well, can't have everything

You know, Valkyrie Nut, I have almost the same exact shot in my pictures from Tokyo Tower! See?

I'm hoping to get to Japan sometime this year. I was originally hoping to go this month, but it looks like I might have to wait until later this summer, or sometime in November.

My next trip will be to a destination that I've never been before, Fukuoka. A very close friend of mine is currently living there, and I've been given an open invitation to stay with him anytime I want.

Actually, Lott, the only thing I want to do is wake up one day to find that all the anime I've been watching will have suddenly given me the ability to speak fluent Japanese!

Of course, if I actually got off of my butt and took some Japanese classes, I'd probably be fluent by now. Sadly, I've been saying this for the past 20 years or so. It could be worse, though, at least I've been able to get myself to Japan every couple of years.

Wow, that's virtually identical!

I've been "learning" Japanese for at least a few years. I've still got a long way to go as well... I think I'll go look for a college nearby that does a course

Damn...that's covering a lot of ground!

Heh heh true, I'm a bit of an explorer when it comes to holidays. I have friends in most of the places I'm visiting so that's one of the reasons I'm going there. I have the Japan Rail Pass so that'll make getting around easier
