  • Killer Idea

    —

    ,

  • Sony Sucks

    —

    You all know the story behind my love-hate relationship with my PSP, and then reading this (the PSP went on sale in South Korea) just angered me even more: Kevin Kang, spokesman at Sony Computer Entertainment Korea, denied there was a major problem.

    Even though it’s the Golden Week holiday, I’m pretty much going to stick around Ikebukuro the whole time.
