These delectable, sweet-tasting Sea Otter Boogers (rakko no hana-kuso) are available at zoo and aquarium gift shops across Japan. The ones shown here are from Kamogawa Sea World in Chiba prefecture.

The protein-packed booger snacks are actually made of amanatt?, or candied black beans, and they are quite tasty if you can get over the name.

Sea Otter Boogers can also be purchased online for 525 yen (about $6) via the Hanakuso web shop, which also sells the ever-popular Gorilla Boogers.

“Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a freely available teaching tool designed to be a student’s first exposure to object-oriented programming. It allows students to learn fundamental programming concepts in the context of creating animated movies and simple video games. In Alice, 3-D objects (e.g., people, animals, and vehicles) populate a virtual world and students create a program to animate the objects.

In Alice’s interactive interface, students drag and drop graphic tiles to create a program, where the instructions correspond to standard statements in a production oriented programming language, such as Java, C++, and C#. Alice allows students to immediately see how their animation programs run, enabling them to easily understand the relationship between the programming statements and the behavior of objects in their animation. By manipulating the objects in their virtual world, students gain experience with all the programming constructs typically taught in an introductory programming course.”

This could come in handy if you have never worked with any kind of 3D programing/Game development. It’s a go tool for beginners. So if you are looking for a place to start this is it.

“Ok, so maybe only I call it “FlashAruga”, but it sticks! If you haven’t heard of Ikaruga, it’s a manic shoot ‘em up that took the world by storm. Your ship has the ability to switch from dark to light, and absorb bullets of the same color.

So, is dodging hundreds of bullets in a few seconds your thing? It better be if you don’t want to end up a hunk of scrap metal! Shoot the satellites on either side of the boss, then focus on his shield. If you can master polarization switching, you’ll have it down in no time.”

“Shinobido is a web advergame for Acquire’s PS2 stealth-based action title with a similar name, in which players assume the role of a ninja who has to storm five different samurai strongholds, carry out their assigned objectives and reach the topmost floor to complete the mission.

Only the space and cursor keys are needed to play this game. Surprise an enemy from the back to execute a stealth kill, or press the space key to throw a shuriken at an opponent and stun them momentarily. Direct confrontations should be avoided whenever possible, as some health would be lost if you trade blows with an adversary. Mission objectives range from collecting all scrolls in the current stage to killing a certain number of enemies to progress.

There are only five strongholds to infiltrate in total.”

“Tester Phase One is a little prototype(?) by isshiki. The Google translation of isshiki’s blog does not help… however, it describes the game as “Shooting naivety”. I think that means it has simple game play. Which it does, shoot with ‘Z‘, reflect with ‘X‘. It’s fast, fun, and you’ll likely die fairly quickly. Source is included” Source: the2bears.com

Well, yesterday my brother was around on some of his flash game sites and he came across this one. The demo(sorry, didn’t know it was a demo) is available to play on the website in flash format, but if you want it for your pc not your browser, you will have to buy it for $10. It’s a really high quality game and it’s pretty fun. If you like arcade action shooters like crimsonland, and you like mechs, you should play…no…really. Play it!
