Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
GR helps people do things that will probably make them broke. I'm not sure if this is a good thing to do, but getting excited because you read one of our magazines? Cool. Unlike a lot of mags out there, we're low key. We don't do the most popular thing, and we highlight a lot of things which are unpopular. But overall, we're telling a story of a group of people who are trying to do things that are...

GR helps people do things that will probably make them broke. I’m not sure if this is a good thing to do, but getting excited because you read one of our magazines? Cool. Unlike a lot of mags out there, we’re low key. We don’t do the most popular thing, and we highlight a lot of things which are unpopular.

The title already is way off base. “Fascinated by Japan — If it’s big in Japan, it could also hit big in the United States–and these entrepreneurs are betting on it.” That’s definitely not true. Right? It’s definitely not something I’d think. I guess I’m betting on it to be true. Ouch. Just the title is a horrible start. It’s bordering on annoying. What do you think? Personally, I feels like the title from this article is from years ago. I remember articles like these that highlighted Japan and people’s fascination with the place as being super cool, and so on.

The Quake in China. I remember when it happened, I was on a plane going to Beijing, I landed, got in front of a TV, there was a bit of news that it was a 7.8, but now days later, people still being found alive, the death toll is up to 55,000 with a another 20,000+ not found, and hundreds of thousands injured. The question is how the heck were so many new agencies so content in reporting 5,000 were...
