Sidetracks – My Pace Daiou

If one anime could sum up those of us at UberNailBat S and our immediate friends, it would be Genshiken, the ultimate otaku anime. Yes, we do have a good stand in for Ohno or Ogiue. Granted, we probably don’t have a good stand in for Kousaka, but we do have a definite Mandarame. Side [...]

E3 Trailer: Super Mario Galaxy 2

Nintendo revealed at their press conference two Mario games.   New Super Mario Bros Wii, which looked fun, in a cut-throat party game kind of way, and this game, Super Mario Galaxy 2, which looked huge, and made us squeal like little girls, with the mere fact that Yoshi was in it.  If you follow us [...]

E3 Coverage: Microsoft Press Conference 2009 (Update 9)

So what’s does Microsoft have in store for us today?   Metal Gear reveal?  More on that Kodu game creation thing?  Why aren’t we doing a live blog?  Well, to answer that last question, only Harlan is on deck to watch the conference, the other UNB staff are working, learning, or sleeping.  We’ll see what happens [...]

So If You Wipe With It, Do You Die In Seven Days?

That man is Koji Suzuki.  He’s the twisted little man who wrote the original The Ring story.  That’s toilet paper he’s sitting next to.  It has words on it.  No, it’s not instructions on how to wipe your ass.  What’s on it is The Drop (appropriate name), it’s a 9-chapter novella, written exclusively on toilet [...]
