The newest trailer to come out for the new Final Fantasy XIII game coming out looks pretty awesome. I like how Square Enix is really using the PS3′s capabilities. The CG cutscene part of the trailer looks awesome, the different amount colors and smoothness of everything makes the video look awesome. Game play wise I think it’s pretty cool how angles from all over are used, even 360 degrees at times during the video. They also show timed the moves with the angles really nicely, zooming in and zooming out when it looks like the right time to do it. Overall I’m impressed, impressed enough to go out and buy a PS3 lol. Which is good because I hear the PS3 is dropping in price later this year, though bad because it’s also rumored that Final Fantasy XIII won’t be released in America until next year around April 
. I look forward to more trailers in the future ^^.

Nothing like a $15 bowl of ramen
Yep, you read correctly, $15 for a bowl of ramen. Even here where I live, a bowl of ramen don’t cost more than 11-12, which is actually pretty expensive still . But places like New York have ramen costing $15, for ramen is the new “food” to eat, so move over sushi and welcome the noodles we love to slurp.
The restaurant in question that serves this expensive food item is Ippudo NY in New York’s East Village. According to the Daily Herald where I heard about this $15 ramen bowl, 738 million pounds of ramen (or 4 billion individual packets) was consumed in America alone last year. Most likely most of it coming from people who buy six packages for a $1 . The expensive bowls of ramen where I live also come from restaurants which boasts ramen as it’s number one food item. I have been to some pretty good ones as well, I might start doing food reviews in the future as well xD.
Side note: In Japan it’s proper to slurp your noodles in restaurant ^^. It shows that you really like the noodles <3.
Blanc Neige ~ Shining Wind

New Vocoloid Announced
A new Vocoloid character has been announced and her name is Megurine Luka ^^. She’s the newest creation by Kei, the original artist for the vocoloids. She has more of a “mature voice” compared to Miku, maybe a possible “older sister fetish” xD. Well anyways, I like her voice, maybe a bit better than Miku’s because it won’t go up as high pitch. Clothing wise I believe Luka’s is much more more elaborate and gives off more detail. I’m looking forward to her debut as a figure. Wouldn’t mind picking one up, which would be my first vocoloid purchase xD.
