Engadget 1985. At first I thought this was a gem from the onion. A little humor in the news is nice.

The plague

Radical! The Checkers are Japanese 80's music.

We save a lot of electricity on air conditioning. Without DST, offices are already hot by 10am. DST delays this and A/C doesn't need to kick in until later in the day.

Energy saving aside, people don't want the Sun to be up at 4 in the morning. They prefer to have more daylight hours after work when most people spend their free time.

Cool music in the video.

I never thought of it but Katamari would be great with a trackball.

Ouendan is fun regardless of your ability to understand Japanese. Although Elite Beat Agents was a worthy follow-up, I'm thrilled at the news of a true sequel.

Unless you can read the kanji definitions, this software is pretty useless for studying Japanese. It's made primarily for Japanese native speakers to study English and not the other way around.

Those 3 Konami shooter collections should all be on 1 disc.

I just saw Video Games Live in Phoenix and it was very well done.

I'm planning on being in Japan around that time. Can someone post a link to a web site that has information on this DQ concert series?

Ivalice died when Matsuno left Square. (still a mystery) Rumor has it he's working on a Wii title.
