Over the next week, I’m going to be away on a trip to Japan (don’t fear though, the great staff that make this Website great have plenty of reading to keep you going). I wish I could say it’s for Tokyo Game Show, but unfortunately, it isn’t.
That said, I will find myself in Akihabara, otherwise known as the otaku capital in the world. In the spirit of fun, I’m going to set our readers a challenge: Recommend me something to buy while I’m there.
It can be anything, with three stipulations:
1) It has to be game related.
2) It has to cost less than 4500 yen (about $50)
3) If it is a videogame, it needs to be playable on the PlayStation 3 or Nintendo DS (no region locks are your friends).
I’ll do my darnest to find the best, weirdest suggestion, and buy it. I’ll also see about finding some kind of prize to go with the winning suggestion, though I’m not sending through my Japanese souvenirs 😛
It’s all just for fun, though. This is my way of saying adios to everyone for a week. Be well everyone and I’ll see you all when I get back!
a Samus Aran pillow girlfriend? you cannot beat the strangeness of that!

I fully support the purchase of a pillow girlfriend of some sort.
That said, have fun! Very jealous of you 😉
