I love the signs.

PSP Peep Guard Filter.
“To help commuters with their daily struggle, Hori releases the Peep Filter Portable which blunts the visibility of the PSP screen so that neighbors can’t discern Debbie Doing Dallas on your versatile little portable.” If you can’t survive without porn on your daily commute, I would suggest privacy isn’t your biggest concern.

Diorama Studio: Model Editor guide part 1

Konami’s Diorama Studio is a remarkable piece of software that allows you to pose CG models based on Busou Shinki action figures to create a virtual diorama. It’s like having a virtual action figure on your PC and coming up with cool poses and dioramas with the CG models is as much fun as playing with actual action figures.

The software is a free download and it even includes a free CG model, Ninja Fubuki. If you own Busou Shinki sets, you can add the access codes found in those sets to obtain CG equivalents of those sets’ figures and accessories. Additional items to customise figures can be purchased from Konami’s online shop.

In previous guides, I showed you how to create a Konami ID, display Japanese text correctly on a non-Japanese edition of Windows XP and finally, download, install and launch Diorama Studio.

I’m now going to provide a few guides on how to pose a CG model, create a diorama and add access codes from Busou Shinki sets.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to select a Busou Shinki CG model in the Diorama Studio Model Editor and select a preset starting pose.
