In this installation, we see what makes the Mackintosh-clad ladies of Japan empty out their (ham) wallets before scurrying back to their unmarked vans.

I will keep searching, but in the meantime we&#8217;ll be looking at a vaguely disturbing Japanese expression. It is one I have dreaded doing [...]]]></description>

Your grenade sails gracefully through the air, hits the side of the bunker, and bounces back into your team&#8217;s hiding place. Luckily you were logged in [...]]]></description>

As a gamer in Japan though, I am squarely in the minority in my feelings for Microsoft&#8217;s console.

		<description><![CDATA[Inflammatory language. Off topic posts. Atrocious spelling. Ah, the joys of troll-hood!
