Looks good! How's the friends page?

Not too great...it has the same cheap pop-up book feel that the DS theme had...but it is a constant reminder the game arrives in November. Here is a sample (maybe I'll pick up the Princess Reko statue as well to help anticipate the game):

Thanks! Might grab it.

I kept looking at the statue when I was in Tokyo; it's nice (And perky). Would have picked it up if it was cheaper... and I'm trying to limit my PVC intake.

Bought a another pair of RealTriggers.
Also got the Caps4Stix. Caps4Stix is practically just a piece of rubber which you slide over your stick, as my hands tend to slip off the DS3's analog sticks. So I decided to try these out.

Here's what they look like when you have them on your DS3's analog sticks, pretty ugly eh?
Well, I have to say these definetly give a much better grip, and that's pretty much what I wanted.
If the DS3's analog sticks feel slippery to you, or you just like to have a better grip. I'd check these out.

A KZ2 clan buddy recommended these to me and I haven't looked back since, they're great. Not a fan of the triggers though, they're a good idea but WAY too extreme a curve for my liking.

I personally love the triggers, the more curve the better.

I'm really starting to like the caps. The only downside I can think of right now, is that when you have a chatpad on, you can't really do a perfect 360', but other than that they feel really great.

17 hours?

My flight from DC to Narita was only 12. And the route goes over Canada!

yea, I don't know...common sense is telling me it is the time difference, but I could be wrong since I'm on the west coast and flying over the pacific...and that is why...
but at this point...I don't care if I needed to land in Bangalore and approach the country by narwhal...

I got the "I'M ON A BOAT" feeling...and it's Friday!!!

Yeah, theme is 240 points...not badly priced.

Actually, it is the size of the breasts on the Reko statue that are a little off-putting to me (and the anime look that is seemingly popular with folks a generation or two after mine). But, I did order the forthcoming Velvet Odin Sphere statue that is arriving in January so I've kinda "jumped in" and am looking for another to add. Check this one out:

Oh wow, I misread your ticket. I thought you were flying from Canada. (and I didnt get the 4 hour wait between flights.)

Yea, my plane flew north east to Canada and went around somewhere near-ish to the North pole and then flew south-ish to Narita.

Thanks dude...I am totally acting like a 5 year old right now....
the funny part is I vacation all the time and always wanted to go...but the timing never worked...
everything fell into place and I just jumped on it (with wifey's blessing) although the trade off was 2010 is now a vacation to France...


the Jan 2010 pickup is going to be epic...I'm taking a little duffel there but buying a gorilla case to bring back:D
I might actually run super Potato out of stock!

Word of warning for those browsing at work. This IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK (unless you work in a brothel).

The link opened some slutty video chat page in a new window.

But that sounds like a fun trip.

I'll probably get that Recco someday -- I'm not ashamed to admit that I like em perky:)

Judging from the last few Capcom Girls, Yamato's stuff has been improving lately, so it's a good chance Velvet will turn out great! Yamato used to be one of the worst when it comes to production paint apps; way below Max Factory, Goodsmile and Kotobukiya.

I like Imageshack the best, the on-page resizing is handy.

I believe Imageshack is frowned upon as their bandwidth is somewhat limited. Also, if the frog shows up you'll be banned.

I recommend Tinypic.

yea, I have tried imageshack to no avail...

at this point, anything to get the hedonistic suggestive popups to be gone is golden in my book!

I had the same problem.. my solution was FPS Freek which makes the sticks feel like 360 sticks.. https://www.kontrolfreek.com/Game-Controller-Accessories/KontrolFreek-FPS-Freek.asp

They are the most common enemies in Little Kings Story. I want one of those dolls so bad but I've only seen one at an art exposition where the director was showing some art. (He's a nice guy by the way)

The name pretty much says that they're made for FPS's, but how do these work out on different genres?

Once you get used to it (maybe 2 hours of gameplay) .. you wont want to go back. I never take them off and they click on very well.. good for both 360 and PS3... I love them!

i already have the Reco statue, will be in my next pick-ups post tonight. i always felt he need to grab figs based from shmups. i love shmup chara designs and they tend to sell out quick cuz they don't make that many compared to anime ones.

Is this theme available for US 360 users, or just JPN 360 users?

You need to have a JP account (and points in the account) to purchase it. I bought JP points off ebay.

if we sign into our US accounts, does it still work? or is it tied to the JPN account only?
