Bandai Namco Games has tapped Korean casual games house WindySoft to bring Katamari Damacy to the short session gaming, internet enabled masses. Of Korea, that is.

Why can’t we A. Have Idols, B. Have ideas like this? This ain’t no Nick Arcade, this is hardcore.

Maple Skirt Story DS
Published on January 10, 2007 by Aaron Matthew | 0 commentsCategories: News, Nintendo DS, Asian, Ideas, Hotness, Canada
Ok, I’m not a big fan of Maple Story. Nor do I believe that this will be an MMO on the DS (though it is technically quite feasible and am somewhat suprised no one has tried it yet). It may never even make it to the States. But none of that matters. This commercial is fucking hot.
This is the best ’sailor moon’ marketing (marketing to girls and by way of skirts - boys too at the same time) I have seen in a while.
Unrelated, because I love adding the “Ideas” category to posts:
Someone should make Maple Leaf Story… it’d be like Maple Story, only with CANADIANS.
Osu! Ahri Ahri!

Lee Jung Hyun’s MV for “I Love You Chul-Soo” is basically Ouendan. (hit the jump for the video)
In the music video she takes the role of 7 different characters (librarian, cheerleader, waitress, etc) all who inspire some guy (or many guys) to do better.
Lots of comic book frames with animations and big word bubbles. Got me thinking, there needs to be more interactive music video games (flash based or whatever), sorta like The Chemical Brothers did with Galvanize.

Ok, today I went to my first Famima today after months of curmudgeoning about it and making fun.
I am moderately impressed. Republic of Tea equals win.
