PSP 2.0 firmware update coming.
Lots of improvements but I suspect the homebrew/hack crowd is going to stick with version 1.5 until a more compelling reason (read: game) forces an upgrade.

I broke the 300K barrier in Lumines’s Challenge Mode last night and was rewarded with the Lights skin (featuring Nobuchika Eri’s song of the same name) for my efforts. After listening to the original version, the game version of the song is a bit of a letdown. The squawking seagulls in the game version may have had something to do with that.
I also managed to improve on my 60-second Time Attack mode record again. The record now stands at 55.
It may seem counterintuitive at first but the key seems to be to patiently aim for combos instead of individual deletes and to keep to the middle of the screen as much as possible.

Big news! Malaysia has unpegged the Ringgit from the US Dollar after six years.
Do you know what this means? I can finally afford to move into a larger septic tank and perhaps even get three square meals a month.
And buy a Ferrari.
Sarcasm aside, it will probably take a while for the effect of this to trickle down to the man in the street.

Hibiki Kurenai makes his debut in Kamen Rider Hibiki episode 24. “Kurenai,” of course, means “third-degree burns.”
Okay, it actually means “crimson” and I imagine it’s thus named because the Bandai/Plex designer spilled a bottle of crimson paint all over his design plan and then decided to pass it off as Hibiki’s new power-up form.
