Will she do it again?
Is a question that many fans of both Utada and Kingdom Hearts are wondering about whether or not she will do the theme song for another Kingdom Heart game. There have been reports that she might not, but I think that's just some trying to make news. Although no official word has come either Utada Hikaru or Square Enix, I feel like its more than likely going to happen.

Now at one point I thought maybe she will come out with her new English album/ song for kingdom hearts wile Kingdom Hearts 3 the game was out. That way Square Enix and Utada Hikaru can both promote each others project. But according to her blog, her English album is coming out late 2009. Too bad it would have been great advertising, her song would be on T.v. commercials, which may have become a even bigger ear worm than Simple and Clean. They would also have a face to put with the song as , her single would be played on music and on radio station, thus getting her the publicity she needs to become a big name in the U.S.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Trailer

I can't say I'm a big Street Fighter fan (though I know the storyline quite well) but I am a big fighting game fan (and RPG fan), I used to play Melty Blood: Act Cadenza, Arcana Heart 2, Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core and King Of Fighters XI at arcades in China town with my friends and a pocket full of singles about to be converted into [Namco] game tokens, and as I see it Street Fighter started this genre so this holds relevance to me (plus I plan to be a game designer someday, so it holds alot of relevance, I know the history of video games like a text book).

But anyways I'm straying off topic, there's a nice Karate Kid reference in this video and the game seems to play just the same as the arcade classic even with the new HD graphics.

~You Cant Watch Mad T.V. SAD!~

Yes, Mad t.v. is going to be canceled, but you can always watch the really good episodes on Comedy Central. But I'm wondering what they will put to replace mad t.v.'s Saturday slot? Cops?

Anyways when you're done whipping the tears from yor eyes away, watch a very funny mad t.v. skit called : .Pizza Hut Twisted Crust Pizza Complete-za Parody.

Monopoly....the movie?

It has been announced that Ridley Scott will be assuming the director's chair for an upcoming film version of the famous board game Monopoly. Scott apparently plans to give the film a futuristic-type feel similar to his 1982 masterpiece Blade Runner.

-Scarlett Johannson and Kirsten Dunst have been considered so far to be in the movie.
-maybe even Mr. Turner?(inside joke)

808s and Heartbreak Commercial

I wonder how this album will even survive with all of the leaks.

So far they've leaked on the internet or released as singles:
Love Lockdown
Heartless
Amazing feat. Young Jeezy
Tell everybody that you know feat. Lil Wayne
Robocop
Coldest Winter
Anyways feat. Kid Cudi
Streetlights

8 songs out of 12 for his upcoming album, the albums still hot, Ye will probably still hit platinum.

I plan to do this someday

Gotta love XKCD.

Awesome PSP Radio

Ok, we all know that the PSP has an internet radio feature with the ability to play Shoutcast and Icecast streams.

A site pspradio.co.uk has created what I must say is the best Internet Radio hack I've seen thus far consisting of being able to update itself and having it's own on screen keyboard to replace the built in one by Sony, along with being able to search for music and play individual songs and MSN messenger (though I myself prefer Google Talk, this is just extra). Just point your PSPs internet browser to that site and download the files required.

This is all based on the work of PSP hacker FreePlay, you can get his PSP internet radio hack here.

Oh and don't worry you don't need hacked PSPs to run these. ^_^

(Web Designer Comment: Man I hate the design of the official PSP site, one long ass load time for a flash animation consisting of just a picture of a PSP for all that this could've been done in XHTML, CSS and FLASH)

McDonalds No Logo Restaurant

From SLAMXHYPE by Adam Bryce

No Golden Arches, no clown with giant feet, and only 2 burger options. Over the last few years McDonalds have made an enormous effort to rebrand and reposition themselves in a new marketplace, this move in Tokyo is the biggest move yet. This new Quarter Pounder store front, offers just Quarter Pounders and Quarter Pounders with Cheese, a clean black, red and white fit out, even with new food packaging. I’d be keen to hear what everyone thinks about this.

By The Way: This is first time the people of Japan gets to eat one, and what a way to introduce a burger.

Check out the website here.
