An interesting discussion going on over at PC Pro who reports the BBC spending money to expose cyber crime committed through "botnets"- A network of compromised computers which can be used by a hacker for cyber crime at any time. So, why don't the government broadcast short little messages on TV to warn people about the risks of not...
Now this is the format Makoto Shinkai's "Sora no Kioku" artbook should be in but I guess he had no say in its layout. In commemoration of Capcom's Monster Hunter series' 5th anniversary, a 310 page "Monster Hunter CG Artworks" book containing over 1700 pieces of CG from every title in the series so far, went on sale yesterday. This...

Between March 9th ~ 22nd, 800 lucky "Silver Members" of the SE Club who pre-order (or have already) either the Cloud Black PS3 or demo trial set of the upcoming FFVII Advent Children Complete, will be able to view the extended movie a few days before release. The screening will take place on the 8th floor of the Sony Building in Ginza on...
I almost got the wrong parcel when I received this by City Link in the morning and it gave me quite a scare because I had already signed for it too! I was stupid enough to give the guy back the wrong parcel before he exchanged for the correct one. Luckily it was an honest guy and he came back with a much bigger box but I really need be on my toes next...

And so, Global Shinkai Day has come to an end. I literally stayed up overnight until Saturday morning at six for the first session, slept for the second then stayed for the others. The number of attendees started off pretty well. It mostly floated between the 10 to 15 people mark for the day but peaked to just over 21 while Promised Days was...
Yes, that comedy "non-generic" fantasy show has its own MMORPG now and it's free to play too subtitled, "The Recovery of Babylim". Maybe I'll try it out later but I won't be able to relate to the show since I haven't actually watched either season yet. The interface actually reminds me of RAN Online which was a grinding game with no story...
Just before joining the Global Shinkai Day, I finished the 1GB Last Remnant PC demo that got released yesterday. You can download it via the official site or a mirror such as GamersHell. It has both English/Japanese voice and text in it which can be adjusted in options. Having not played the Xbox360 version released last year November...
