The Wii may be on its final legs, with the exception of Zelda: Skyward Sword a mere two weeks away, there seriously aren’t enough new titles to keep its popularity going. And what truly makes a system other than its games? Earlier this year Japan got itself 3 major RPG titles (The Last Story, Xenoblade, and Pandora’s Tower), a genre usually associated with the hardcorest of players, Nintendo of America and Europe initially decided to forego localizing the tri-fecta, seeing them as a lost cause since they would see minimal return on the localization effort. Well, NOE eventually got Xenoblade, but The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower have yet to see life outside fo Japan… that is, perhaps until now if this particular rumor is true. — More after the break!

PETMAN - We welcome our Robot Overlords -- (Video)

The day is slowly creeping towards our time. The day we take the place of many hollywood movie characters, and welcome our robot overlords. This may be progress today, but the night I hear those red sneakers slapping along the sidewalk as PETMAN walks a little dog down the street for his master, I will know it’s too late - on a side-note, take all of my money Boston Dynamics, I want one.

Here's exactly what the Protect IP Bill is all about and why you should care -- (Video)

Piracy has always been a growing threat since the inception of the internet. But rather than try to fight it logistically, private groups have pushed bills through the US government to otherwise censor the internet all for the sake of making a few dollars. Protect IP is another one of these attempts. Here’s what will happen if the bill is passed.

Anonymous uses skills to attack and release usernames of those involved in pedophile network

Alright, so we all are aware that Anonymous hasn’t always used their Justice League-type skills in the most wisest fashion possible — like that ill-concieved attack on Sony which brought PSN service to a screeching hault for almost an entire month. Yeah, well like many superheroes who need time to developy their crime fighting skills, Anon has finally found an outlet to show off its muscle, taking down the scum of the internet down; pedophiles and their innumberable underground sites and networks. — More after the break!

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.
