Siri gives Japanese man a hard time for his Engrish -- (Video)
You know what I think? I think Siri needs to go out and get some culture. Seriously, stop being so ignorant and try to get herself some culture. She may have the answers to most of life’s questions, like “where can I find the nearest taco stand?”, but where it counts… y’know, with handling real-life people and linguistic sensitivities she’s cold… oh, so cold.

As if Japan wasn't weird enough as it is, you can now intentionally get crooked teeth by surgery
In what appears to be yet another ploy to make adult women in Japan look younger and younger — due to the ever-growing fascination with child-like features (look up: moe) — girls can now visit a dentist that specializes in intentionally giving you that crooked teeth look. — More after the break!

Autonomous robot goes to Subway to pick up a sandwich -- (Video)
At the University of Tokyo, and Japan in general, one of the biggest priorities seems to be robotics. And how do you prove that your machine friend is as advanced as you say it is? Well, you command it to get you a sandwich of course! If this is a foregleam of robots, then sign us up for this new age of slavery.

New Pokemon Center opening in Japan to lend relief for earthquake victims
When disasters happen sometimes it takes something as simple as a recognizable video game or cartoon character to help kids cope with even the toughest of situations. Pokemon in Japan is a staple that’s become the new Mickey Mouse for thousands, if not millions, and so just getting a chance to take a photo alongside Pikachu may be enough to give kids that boost to look forward to tomorrow. That being said, Nintendo plans to open yet another Pokemon Center (its 7th in the country) as a means to take one more step towards normals. — More after the break!

Xbox 360 - Catherine Review
To say that Catherine is one strange beast would be an understatement. The newest game from the aclaimed publisher Atlus, and the development team that brought you the Persona series, takes large strides forward and many steps backwards throughout our protagonist’s journey to win the hearts of Catherine or Katherine. The story itself is easily the high point of our game, with some interesting twists and turns as it progresses. Even the gameplay feels really different from your average title as your put to the test climbing immense towers of blocks by pushing and pulling them into positions to make stairways. It’s generally a good time and, while there can be a large amount of frustration, I really enjoyed my time with Catherine. — Our full review after the break!

Full Metal Alchemist does outtakes, voice over hilarity ensues - Video
With so much grunts, eroticism, and long stares in anime it’s hard to think that some of the voice over actors can keep a straight face even in some of the most tensest of scenes. Well, apparently Funimation is only human and did what any other person would do in their situation: make their beloved characters curse and spout out reddit memes.

Impressions - Catherine demo
Relationships are something emotional, powerful and unseen in many modern games. Atlus tackled some of these questions in Persona 4, a game with some shockingly well developed characters and their struggle to develop themselves, with themes of sexuality being tackled with a level of maturity we don’t often see in games. Catherine is the latest game from that team and it seems their set to once again tackle the industry head on with this title, focusing almost entirely on a complicated story of relationships and drama, with our protagonist Vincent and his relationships with his girlfriend Katherine and a younger, more mischevious lady named Catherine. — More after the break!
