As of this post, 26 people had voted for CAD. I think you all need to take a long, hard look at yourselves and figure out where your sense of humor, wit, skill, writing ability, artistic direction, ethics, morals, and standards have gone.

I played it in the arcades last week and can't see myself paying the $60 the console version costs as I don't think I'd spend nearly that much in the arcade on it. It's a fun game but I'll stick with Street Fighter 4.

Playing fighters at home by myself would kind of defeat the purpose anyway; I enjoy the competition even if I get beat almost every time. So - arcade version: yay, home version: nay.

I always hold onto my systems, so even now that I have a DSi, I'll keep the Phat around as it's still useful for Pokemon. It certainly won't get as much attention as in the past but that's the way of things.

As an American living in Japan, and someone who has studied Japanese language, history, and culture for the past decade or so I've always been uncomfortable with the way American history texts seem to simply overlook Japanese-American internment and even marginalize Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a response to Pearl Harbor; comparing the two incidents is like killing someone's mother for punching you in the face. It makes me ashamed an an American and a human that your family and so many others had to suffer as much as they did. Thank you for shedding a little light on an issue that doesn't always get the attention it deserves.

That picture is at the Bic Camera in Ikebukuro, Tokyo; I had a part time job a couple years ago right around the corner.

I shouldn't be surprised the DSi sold out, but when I went to get mine, I showed up (terribly hungover) 10 minutes before the store opened and was like 20th in line for the black model.

That's exactly what I was going to say. It's DDR/Pump it Up all over again!

Picked up a black DSi today, I really like it from what little time I've spent with it. Looking forward to checking out the shop later.

If they include Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen I will totally buy this, because I love Pan-kun and James but damn if I'm ever home at 9PM on a Saturday.

I'm going as Rirakkuma. While not a video game character per-se, there are Rirakkuma video games.

I got Wii Fit last month as an early birthday gift for myself and downloaded Rockman 9. Pokemon Platinum remains untouched in the meantime. And I'm getting DSi in about 2 weeks. Wonderful.
