Final Fantasy XIII Elixir unboxing

It’s almost becoming something of a tradition for Square Enix to release a licensed energy drink around the time a new Final Fantasy game comes out, so it’s no surprise to anyone that Suntory-licensed FFXIII drinks are currently available.

Ever since Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram was announced for Xbox 360 i’ve thought it would be really cool to make my own twin sticks – especially when the Hori sticks were announced to cost $300! I milled around online and in shops looking for old 2-axis 2-button joysticks which could work, but without any other real [...]
