Bento Box review: Yagura
I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when I got this $6.50 Bento box from the Japanese grocery store Yagura. Seriously, there’s a sizable piece of salted salmon (shiozake) and it’s only $6.50! What gives? It ended up being a lot better than I expected. I started eating from the top left: Harumaki (Japanese spring roll) with tamagoyaki (Omelette) on a bed of yakisoba (Stir-fried...

I like a good deal as much as the next guy, especially when it comes to video games. So when I read on Kotaku that Gamestop was selling Street Fighter IV *new* for $19.99, I debated for about 30 seconds. I wanted SFIV even before it came out, I just didn’t feel it was worth $60 of my hard earned money. Not that I don’t consider it as a quality game, I do,  but I’ve never been...
