So, the Takara Tomy Rocobos are finally here.
It is amazing how they work with two simple commands (either clapping or pressing the button on their heads).

The describtion of how to treat a Rocobo was very vague, so it took us quite some time to understand what to do.
But have a look yourself:

I have to admit: yes, I am part of the reason why farmville has become the most popular facebook app in 2009.
But to my defense I have to say, that I only do this for decorative reasons, not for making “cash”.
It gives me the opportunity to make pixel art within a game that was designed for other purposes.

Nevertheless I see many friends having large farms full of rice, roses or wheat along with all sorts of animals
(elefants on a farm? Sometimes it does seem as if the developers were taking a lot of colorfull pills…) and trees.
Why a FARMING GAME? Ok, I would not be wondering if we were living in Japan, playing Cooking Mama or Harvest Moon.
But the rest of the world is not known to be a great fan of such kind of games.
Farmville might have opened the gate for them maybe (and I would be grateful for that), but I wonder, if it also is a sign,
that many of us would prefer having an own garden where they could be independet from the (partly horrible) fruits and vegetables from the supermarket? Is there a need for more nature, more green, more fresh air?
Some kind of unconscious thinking, that it would be better if we all became a little more self sufficient?

But then of course everybody falls back into their everyday life, rather spending their time with a virtual tomatoe than a real one.
Maybe some day…
I would like the thought of swaping vegetables with neighbours in reality. Send me a chicken.

A lot of work in the last days, but now we’re free for at least 2 weeks to post some more stuff for you:

Japanese Final Fantasy XIII Launch Line Report
A big party for all the FF XIII – awaiting people. We really want to be there, but just a flight-ticket for a release party would be too crazy

A first original gameplay video found on youtube from Final Fantasy XIII:

also interesting for game-fans like us: the japanese game-blog from andriasang.

Eventually we’d plan a trip to GB / London. Why?

Finally, We want a Dog!

Since some days we’re searching for a dog. Finally we decided to get a pomeranian or a long haired chihuahua for ourselves
