Level-5 president Akihiro Hino has two interest in media: video game and anime. At the moment, Hino has two anime screening on Japanese TV’s (and the internet, if you count that): Inazuma Eleven Go and Little Battler eXperience, with Gundam Age premiering soon. However, a tweet from the Level-5 head boss has stirred some interest when one complemented on the fact that people are able to see three Hino-related anime every week over Twitter.

The conference will be streamed live as well, so the world can see what he had meant by this tweet.

Because of the live stream, Capsule Computers will cover the conference, updating you with the latest news from the well-known Japanese developer. So tune in on the 15th of October.

Shinobido 2: Tales of the Ninja Stealth Kills

The guys at Acquire has released three videos of their upcoming Playstation Vita game Shinobido 2: Tales of the Ninja, showing off various stealth executions. The first video shows Zen, the main protagonist of the game, kill off a pair of enemies from the roof. It includes a small quick time event. The second video shows Zen using his gliding skills to sneak from behind and knock out (or kill) the enemy. The third video shows Zen hiding behind the corner and executing a corner kill when the guard is close by. These skills are going to be very useful if the player is going to be successful sneaking around the compound.

Sailor Moon Manga Tops US Charts

The long-time cult classic series Sailor Moon created by Naoko Takeuchi in 1992, has nearly 20 years on seen one of the biggest revivals in manga history.

After years of licensing disputes regarding the Sailor Moon franchise, Kodansha Comics have finally heard the calls of the masses and begun releasing the Sailor Moon manga, full translated into English.

But that isn’t the most exciting part. Sailor Moon Volume 1, has gone on to top the U.S. Graphic Novel charts, with the spin-off Codename: Sailor V Volume 1, taking the second spot. This is a great sign for the future of the manga and definitely something to make companies take notice and hopefully license the anime for release.

Your Weekend Timekiller: The Akinator

1

It’s a slow news day, so what better way to kill some time than to play on the interwebs? I recently came across this unique program/game thanks to a fellow editor (thanks Ben!) that can guess any character you are thinking of. So who is this wizard?

A genie by the name of the Akinator. The way this works is that you simply answer a series of questions and the Akinator tries to make a guess through the process of elimination. Oddly enough, this little genie has been correct with the most obscure of characters. Youngster Joey from Pokemon, Callisto from Xena: Warrior Princess, and even Emily Wyatt from Deadly Premonition were all guessed by the Akinator, much to my surprise.

So now it is your turn. Follow the link below and think up the most random character from a video game, anime, or pop culture and see if you can stump the Akinator. Let us know how you did in the comments section below as well.

Star Wars The Old Republic Confirmed RP-PvP Servers

Players interested in the upcoming MMORPG by Bioware, Star Wars: The Old Republic, may be interested in learning that there will be designated servers for roleplayers who prefer to PvP. These servers will be designated as RP-PvP Servers and this news confirmed in the forums about a week ago.

On the 30th of September, the Senior Online Community Manager, Steven Reid, stated this in a forum –

[…]  However, we have good news: RP-PvP servers are going to be a part of Star Wars: The Old Republic…

Though, it should be noted that such servers will not be exclusively monitored by a dedicated set of admins. But this may change in the future.

Please note, the ‘RP’ part of the RP-PvP designation will be a suggested style of play, not a mandatory one. What that means is, if you feel someone isn’t roleplaying, reporting them to Customer Service will not ensure action on their account. We will also not be enforcing naming policies or similar.

Be sure to check out the forum where this was announced.

At least, that is what we suspect happened to our beef jerky now that we have seen the video below. If a dog can dance like that, who is to say that they can’t unlock the closet where the good food is.

Ubisoft is launching a Just Dance 3 app for the iOS and Android which will let you create music videos just by placing things in front of your phones camera. The app is only currently available in certain countries on select devices buy will make its way to more devices/countries soon.

Binary Domain’s new trailer


Mama always did say that if we kep’ stealing cookies from the jar our nose would fall off…

WHAT?! Your mom never said that? Well, maybe the guy in the picture above should have had a mom who told him that. He might have a nose now, instead of being a noseless, weird guy with crazy eyes!

This new trailer for Binary Domain explains how your choices during the game (including choices made under combat conditions) will affect how the other characters in the game react. For example, insulting a person’s nose or their mother will often get you punched.
