Priced at £79.99 (approx $160) ouch! This special edition contains…

• The main MGS4 : Guns of the Patriots game

• 6″ Old Snake ‘Olive Drab’ action figure
• “The Making Of Metal Gear Solid 4″ documentary on Blu-ray Disc

The site doesn’t have any box art as yet but hopefully it’ll look very similar to the American version by Yoji Shinkawa

Art – Toyko Panorama by Stephen Wiltshire

See the hi-res panorama of Toyko by Stephen Wiltshire here

Stephen Wiltshire has an amazing skill, although he was born with autism, he can just look from an skyscraper window for a while and then make a drawing of the whole thing. He’s already tried London and New York, so he tried with Tokyo.

It took him a week but he managed it. A full 360 degrees drawing from the helicopter trip he made. Very impressive!

I like this one of london

Japan – Oshiya or ‘Pusher’ at the Japanese railway station

In some railway stations in Japan, oshiyas or “pushers” are employed to squeeze people onto the overcrowded tube/underground/subway/train carriages. They also perform the job of a “puller,” pulling off any passengers who try to get on the train too late or when the train is eventually too full.

See them in action here…

Webcomic – XKCD ‘Pong’

I saw a very clever comic strip today, here it is. Unfortunately it has been clipped off the edge and resizing doesn’t work. Please click the image to view it full size.
