The wires are most likely for two purposes. One is to power the robot, which could be replaced with high-capacity batteries after the development is complete. The other is to take performance data, which would then be used for further development. I doubt the final product will be wired. I mean, think about it: These [...]

Don’t forget its walking speed and the way it re-balances itself really quickly! I never expected to see that sort of quick AI “reflex” from a robot that big within about a decade from now.

I thought this was an indoor car sales event… Stay classy, E3.

Made a pre-order, and now the book is already on its way. Is Kishida Mel the artist for only the Arland series, or has he been the artist for the Atelier series throughout?

Now this is the kind of insight of the Anime culture I’m curious about.

Tidy locations plus Neko omake? Likey! ^_^

Do I wish I should have paid for an online service with flimsy security? NO!! This happened because Sony was way too proud and reliant of their “impenetrable fortress” that is the PS3. And judging on how admissive they are of their own fault in the issue – which is very little – even if [...]

Well, there’s one more potential game industry reference in Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk.II: Remember those Processor Unit (Goddess Armor) sets? This time, put in character exclusive armor sets with a trophy for completing each set. For Black Heart, the trophy can be called “Not enough protection!”. There, who’s not to like some self-deprecating humor? …Oh, dear. [...]

Both Anons made good points. d ^_^ b

Good, good! The next step is Japanese import games with English interfaces, if not wholly translated.

To quote myself on what I said about the first game some time ago: “The main weakness of reference-fests like this is that it’s indifferent for players who don’t know them. And without it, HDN potentially loses a good chunk of its assets for certain players. (Not to mention some references were vague.) Other required [...]

Burma says “Hi!” as well! ^_^

…

I generally like my land and folk, but the system is just… T_T

Whoever wrote the article is committing a lapse in logic called “motive fallacy”; namely, questioning the motives of whoever in question, changing the discussion’s main subject and turning it into a personal attack. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_motive In this case, the article diverts/downplays the readers’ attention from the benefits Japan gained from US aids… which is not something [...]

“If the population is, in general, dishonest, why the hell they expect their governors to be different?” So true… T_T As much as I would like to be optimistic, I can’t disagree with the quote. Though I can’t see Burma fitting the quote because, well, the government doesn’t represent the people in our case. The [...]

I’m a Burmese. And I can definitely assure you the Burmese people are really grateful for what USA has done for us. Burmese are not ingrates by history, as far as I’ve understood; recognizing gratitude is part of our culture and courtesy, in fact. (Not to say there won’t be an occasional bastard, but they’re [...]
