Toshiba 815T PB: Transformers-Like Cellphone of Geeky dreams

Toshiba's new Softbank 815T PB is the robot/cellphone hybrid I would've dreamed of if cellphones had been around when I was a kid. It's made for an upcoming Japanese TV drama called Ketai Sousakan 7 and it really does transform, Transformers-like, into a robot toy complete with tiny bunched fists. Even the display-face is part of the robot effect, and the phone comes with games with the same theme. It's in silver and black, has a QVGA screen, 3.2 megapixel camera and is a 3G phone, so it might venture outside Japanese shores. We don't know much else other than an April release date, but we'll keep you posted. [Gizmodo Japan]

Panoramic Mecha Simulator Arcade Game is Networked, Awesome

It may look like a decompression chamber, but Senjo No Kizuna is a networked arcade game in which you pilot a Mecha against other players. The game, developed by Banpresto, is, according to notre ami de Akihabara who gave it a spin, pretty damn good. Regular players can log their gaming history (scores, weapons, etc) on a card, so they can play in whichever arcade they fancy without starting from zero each time. Regardez le video below for a closer look. More »

Mecha Musume Combines Hentai With Transportation For Your Pleasure

If masturbating to jet planes or the Titanic seems a little too weird for you, Joel over at BB Gadgets sheds some light on the Mecha Musume genre, which combines hentai girls with modes of transportation to form one weird-looking pin-up picture. By modes of transportation, we're talking fighter jets, big boats, cars, Gundams and pretty much any piece of hardware you can get around in or on. Joel has more details on the origins of this if you're so inclined. We usually try not to pass judgement on other people's proclivities, but wanting to fuck an F-16 is just odd.

Japan: WTF, yo? Part Deux

Ok. First mushrooms that sing like the murmuring waters, now a mecha with a huge dick. It seems like every couple of months you get a rash of these strange images from Japan and you kind of wonder if most of the time the citizens of Japan are hanging out doing normal stuff and then all of a sudden they all go crazy over there and dress up like Sailor Moon and build robot dongs.
