    Square Enix Threatens Legal Action Against Type-0 Fan Translation

    In the U.S., aiding and abetting a violation of someone else's copyright is itself a violation. Of course, there are things a translator can do to assert his/her rights (because people who create translations also own the copyright to the translation). For example, Skyblade could counter sue...

    3DS sets all-time sales record in Japan

    You might have noticed that most of that growth occurs in countries where the people cannot really afford the games and gadgets. So those number cannot be merely the result of population growth.

    Nintendo: Xenoblade, TLS, Pandora to US? LOLNOPE.

    This prevents you from arbitraging price differences between the various regions. Imagine what people would do if the same game is $20 in the US but $45 in the UK (due to various causes...currency exchange rates for example). It would ruin the UK game retailers' bottom line if lots of people...

    ROM Hack Summon Night X: Tears Crown

    Thankfully, plot related dialogue is voiced, so I can get a jist of what the plot is supposed to be... Whichever group ends up translating this game has my full support.

    High School and other stuff :D

    ^The only problem with university is the enormous burden of debt most people have when they leave school. Compared to that, (public) high school is less burdensome.

    China Arrests 49 Leaders of Underground Christian Church

    ^Terrible analogy, since there are in fact registered churches in China. This is more about the government over there trying to limit or prevent the discussion of politics in houses of worship.

    Chrome OS coming this summer, named Chromebook

    My school's IT only supports Windows and OSX. If I can't take my law exams and can't access the library's network, then this thing has no educational uses for me.

    Cannibalism

    No way. Too easy to transmit god-knows-what parasites, viruses, bacterias, and/or prions. The last thing I'd want is Creutzfeldt–Jakob or some other cognitive "condition."

    ROM Hack CloneCharizard's PokéSav Black & White Translation

    Does anyone else get this with the PID generator? Is it still untranslated?

    Geohot has set a Legal Defense Fund

    If Sony wins, it will set a dangerous precedent. From there, it's only a matter of time before the rights established under the first-sale doctrine is eroded further. As a law school student, I'm troubled by the lack of foresight and a general pettiness on display here. Edit: For the record...

    Hardware Are you getting the psp2 ??

    With all the power they're putting into the thing, the PSP2's battery life is going to suffer. I need the battery to last at least 4 hours (my commute is 2hr each way), and charging everyday really isn't that appealing to me.

    3DS Makes Nintendo World Users Dizzy, Fatigued

    Won't comment on the ocular stamina of the gamers mentioned, but I can say for sure that I won't be using the 3D mode unless I must. I have bad posture when I play handheld games and having to keep my eyes/face within a certain prescribed range of distances from the 3D display is really not my...

    Gaming Homebrew Sign Tool is out!!!

    I thought this only worked for user mode so you still can't sign things like HEN, CFW, or ISO loaders (they all require kernel mode).

    Additional info regarding the CycloDS iEvolution

    I never hopped on the hype bandwagon, so it doesn't really surprise me that the cart doesn't do many of the things that people were hoping it was going to do. I am a little disappointed (but not surprised) that it doesn't do half the things it is advertised to do. I guess I'll stick to playing...
