PS3 Slim Vertical Position

With the PS3 Slim being confirmed for release this September 2009, the question now is “Will the Slim be able to stand vertically like it’s Phat version?”

Looking at the picture, the PS3 Slim furthest to the right is displayed in a vertical position.
Kotaku did a vertical standing test for gamers who are worried that you can’t place it vertically like the phat version.

Looks wobbly and I feel unsafe leaving my PS3 Slim in a vertical position after watching that video >_>. To make sure that your entertainment unit is safe …

Lego Dream City

I grew up playing with lego. I can still remember that I had many many lego blocks which I will use to build up a “base” for my story. I would also use my action figurines and create a new story after building my “city”. My city is definitely nothing compared to this Dream City in Tokyo!

Built with 10,000 pieces of lego blocks – Dream City really is a dream XD. I’ll never have the space to build a city which is made up of 10,000 pieces of lego blocks …

The Inheritor of the Crescent Moon

A site for newly announced anime The Inheritor of the Crescent Moon (Sengoku Gyoujin DULLAHAN Kagen no Keishousha) has recently been opened. It shows quite a few pictures of interesting artwork, but no air date. Since this series has caught my interest I will keep any new information I find to be updated here.
It’s originally a winner of the grand prize of Miyagi Sendai Animation Contest 2008.
The story takes place in a parallel world of Sengoku era and Date Masamune fights riding on a giant robot.
So this series will basically …

The economy must be getting better over in Japan as there are 99,800 yen iPhone cases going for sale! The casing is actually more than the iPhone?!

Japan Texture cases from SoftBank BB are all handcrafted and have referential nods to significant moments and concepts in Japanese history and culture.

Upon further research, I found out that Softbank actually released Japan Texture Part 1 designs back in April 2009. Each case was going at a retail price of 39,800 yen. There were only 50 pieces of each design.

Lol would you pay …
