    The videos just keep on rolling today. Next course up in our delectable entree of tender cuts of game footage for the day is a trailer for the farming sim Harvest Moon DS. Should you be the type of person who is thrown into bouts of rage when viewing farming duties such as tending to soil, cleaning livestock, and playing simple card games (the bane of every good farmer's existence), you might want to avert your gaze, instead opting to close your browser window and enjoy a nice bubble bath. May we suggest you go with the Pina Colada scented variety? We like the way it makes you smell.[Note: Video opens and plays in Windows Media Player after the link.]

    Duelling isn't the only thing the Japanese have planned in the next decade for robots in space. Apparently as reported by the Asahi Shimbun the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (which we can only assume is tantamount to our own NASA) are taking action on their earlier intentions to build lunar and inter-planetary exploration and colonization robots. Meaning they've gathered their team to develop robots with artificial intelligence to land on and explore the moon within 10 years, and independently colonize the joint within 20. But once these robots have completed their objective of taking over the moon, what makes the Japanese think they're gonna hand it over just like that?
