Candy Girl Showroom - Japanese Real Doll

2008-01-02T19:24:00.000-06:00

Not surprisingly, there's a Japanese version of RealDoll by a company called Orient Industries. Apparently, they have a showroom in which you can inspect the various dolls. I don't know about you guys, but they look pretty darn creepy to me.

Wired Magazine even has an article about these Candy Girl dolls.

What's worse is that according to Gadgetizer, there are companies that rent these dolls out for use - ewwwwwww.

Indestructible Pig Toy

2007-12-13T13:31:00.001-06:00

From the looks of it, this toy piggy can be squished, flattened, squashed or pulverized to nothing, and it will revert back to its original shape. I want one of these. If you want one too, you'll have to go here http://www.lokuloku.com/contents/index.html

Check out the video - it's just too cool to pass up

I wonder what would happen if a kid tried to eat it.

Matrix Couple Fight

2007-12-01T13:56:00.000-06:00

I think this fight between a couple at a dinner table might even be better than the karate matrix.

Matrix Ping Pong

2007-12-01T13:53:00.001-06:00

Along the same vein as the Matrix Karate. I like the swimming in the air.

Flash Slapping Game

2007-11-29T14:06:00.000-06:00

Here's the premise of the online Flash game Rose & Camellia:

Newly wed to Shunsuke, eldest son of the historied Tsubakikoji family, Reiko suffers the loss of her husband the very next day. Under the cruel and unceasing mockery of the aristocrats, Reiko's common-born blood sets to boil. Clutching the rose Shunsuke gave her to her bosom, Reiko issues a defiant challenge to the house. "I am the widow of the eldest son of the Tsubakikoji family. This house is mine!" ...This is the elegant art of feminine conflict.

Basically it's a slap fest as you take on the various members of the Tsubakikoji family. The game mechanics are pretty unique. You click on the attack button to initiate a slap. To perform the actual slap, you move your move across the face of your opponent. There's also an equivalent evade move.

If you get stuck, there's a youtube video walkthrough of this awesome slapping game.
