4chan is becoming more and more (in)famous.

Has little to do with the content but is rather a defensive measure taken by AT&T to prevent their customers/network from being flooded with TCP ACKs sent in response to forged SYN packets.

Here's a post on nanog if you're more curious.

Clannad ~After Story~ is licensed by ADV Films (Sentai Filmworks!!). It will be release in 2 collection, English sub only without the English voice, (like Clannad) with the 1st collection expected on the 20th of October 2009.

I wander if this means that the Clannad have done well in the English market :-)

Its good to know that Clannad was well accepted. I haven't watched ef yet*, but I am willing to pre-order both seasons if they come out on blu-ray (I know that many think that upscaled DVDs are enough, but I have to respectfully differ with them. Blu-ray is a lot better then upscaled DVDs)

* now that I think about it, I think I haven't even watched the trailer for ef yet! well, must play the game before watching the anime.

RPGamer reports that Aksys Games will be publishing the lewd (CERO rating "C"), ren'ai game-influenced PS3 RPG "Record of Agarest War" as a paid download on the Playstation Network: http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q3-2009/072909a.html

The Wikipedia article for Agarest War states that Midas Interactive plans to publish it in Europe.

PSN only, eh. Well, saves me a step in purchasing it, I guess.

old news is old
anyway, can't wait for my physical copy =D

[Moogy]

Physical copies are outdated.

if it is a large game (over 1gb) then I'd prefer a physical copy option (yes, many people have slow or limited bandwidth connections)

I, myself, do want physical copies of my games.
Thats ultimately the reason, why I do not buy Mangagamer games.

I was hoping for a live action :( Type-moon animes have failed to impress, except for that one KnK movie I liked

MG update:

The selling price of "SHUFFLE!", releasing on August 15,
has been set to 36.95 euros in order for it to be enjoyed by more customers. Please look forward to the release date of "SHUFFLE!"

note, at the time of posting, the Shuffle page is still showing €49.95, hopefully it will be updated by the time it is available for ordering.

And so MOONSTONE has lifted the foreign IP blocking curse again...don't know what to think of this or whether that actually *can* be seen as sign, but being an optimist I'd like to view it as that (and here's hoping that the AKABEiSOFT brands will follow soon >_<).
