  1. Well, I've never been to Japan, so I'm not an expert, but maybe a useful item that you might want to find out about is the J Rail pass.

    For a set fee, they give you unlimited rides on most railways in Japan. The usefulness depends on how often you plan to travel throughout Japan. They come in 7 day, 14 day and 21 day passes (Like a Metrocard, if youre from New York City...I'm not sure if other places use it in the US. Anyway...). You can even reserve seats before you board. You can only purchase this pass OUTSIDE of Japan. The price may or may not be an issue for you. Depending on your plans, you may want to get other passes instead. The J-Rail Pass cant be used everywhere and it cant get you certain accommodations. Here is a break down of most of them http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2357.html

    You might also want to see if you can open a bank account there. You can only do this if you have an Alien Registration Card (required for those staying in JP over 90 days). If you want, you can use your own credit card at some post offices and use the international ATMs if it's more convenient.

    I'd also suggest getting a mobile phone too. Your cell might not work in Japan, so try getting a cheap prepaid one, or whichever one suits your needs.

    Miscallaneous stuff, make sure to get outlet/plug converters. It shouldnt really be a problem I think, but it doesnt hurt to be prepared. Shop at Uniqlo, have fun, enjoy yourself and what not.

  2. Darkanimal - You never fail to make me appreciate the rock/gothic aesthetic

    Cheapmutha - That look is so simple and effortless. Something that I find interesting is that in a few of your outside shots, the sidewalks are completely empty. Where did you put all the people?

    Haptronic - I really like that sweater, I dont think I could pull it off, but it looks great.

  3. I can't favor any genre over another so these are my favs by genre:

    RPG: Final Fantasy VII

    This was the first rpg I ever played. It basically ruined all other rpgs for me. It set the standard VERY high. Storyline, gameplay, graphics (at that time) all amazing. The characters were so damn cool to me when I first saw them. Very few rpgs compare to this.

    Fighting: the Guilty Gear Series

    This game plays extremely well. Very intuitive, the characters are well designed, it's balanced and it promotes innovation. Crazy combos in this game, and it doesnt look ridiculously repetitive and lame like in Marvel vs Capcom.

    Platformer: Sonic

    I love Sonic, this game is Mario but on Speed (haha, I made a funny). Loop de loops, anti gravity, cool power-ups. Although the game is simple and straight foward, it's still very engaging (the Genesis games especially).

    Action: Megaman series

    Megaman 8, Rockman and Forte, these games are just fun, plain and simple. The Megaman Zero series is challenging, not because its intrinsicly difficult, but trying to get perfect 100s in all missions (include those wicked boss marathon levels) is additive and satisfying.

    Jet Set Radio.

    I can't give this game a category. But can say this, it may be my favorite. This game was really an original IMO. this game has serious potential, if Sega decides to pick it up again. The music is incredible (in the Dreamcast version), the characters are cool and memorable. I can't say enough about this one.

  4. Wow, there are so many good fits on here. I can't say what I like about each and every one, so nice fits all around.

    Tomorrow I'm putting my finger over the goddamn flash (can't turn it off)...

    Not sure what's worse, too much light or too little...

    Pierucci black one button suit

    Taetossian of London dress shirt

    Giorgio Morelli tie (your guess is as good as mine...but it's black with white roses)

    Boss Black Label shoes

    Prada briefcase

    It may just my weird sense of aesthetics, but I think Prophet's hair is fine the way it is. I can definitely see how some people think that his hair doesn't fit with his look/head shape, but in ths case I think it works very well. If he did have a conformist haircut, this picture wouldnt appeal to me as much. He'd just look like any other guy in a suit (a good suit mind you). Not only that, but a short haircut would just make his face look that much longer IMO. This isn't a suggestion, but just on a tangent, I think that if False had black hair his look would be so much more striking (whether that is good or bad is up to you).

  5. Wow, for those of you who may have been confused, I posted the wrong link before.:P

    The link is fixed, so now you should see what I was talking about. To put a positive spin on this mishap, at least now you know houndstooth is the hot print this season.
