Daily Hotness: Can't stop these pirates photo

Turning off twitter is the only thing I can do to avoid hearing everyone talk about the great time they've been having at PAX. Well, watching through the entirety of the first season of Black Lagoon in one sitting helped too. See? I managed to work in the weeaboo stuff easily!

One of our top stories today was clearly Ready to Friday BioWare talking about how they deal with piracy. I'd have to agree, incentives like limited editions are probably one of the best ways to get people to buy their stuff. Atlus has been pushing that route hard with Demon's Soul, and I think it'll work well for them. Won't stop the Lagoon Trading Company, but it's not like much can.

The big story, though, is that the Japanese Prime Minister's wife is batshit insane. She eats the sun for nourishment. And she was abducted by aliens. You need to read it to believe it.

And in this topic we see yet another misuse of the word 'weeaboo'

Black Lagoon is the Sh!t. I sure enjoyed the episode when she was fighting that maid assasin.

I tried to like Black Lagoon, but I found the first series to be a bit hit and miss. Probably because I was comparing it to the untouchable Cowboy Bebop all the time. Is the BL: 2nd Barrage series better?

This show does have the potential to be an awesome game though.
