AlainmendezApparently Indiana's top state specific search is Avon.
I'm guessing it is for Kerr Avon from Blake's 7 and not the multi-level marketing company until proven otherwise.
There is one search term that your state Googles more than any other state and, unless you live in Maine or Tennessee, it's probably really, really embarrassing. Estately compiled these unique searches, which range from the sad — Arizona's "Conjugal Visits" — to the disturbing — Missouri's "Family Circus."
Sorry, Crayola. The Scribble Pen just became your stiffest competition, thanks to the 16-bit RGB color sensor inside it that can scan and replicate any color it detects. Now one single pen lets you draw essentially every color in the entire world.
As revealed in this week's Jump, there's more Final Fantasy action on the way to Nintendo 3DS. While there's currently no release date for it, Final Fantasy Explorers is a new four-player action-RPG in the works for Nintendo's portable.
The magazine shows four jobs—White Mage, Black Mage, Knight, and Monk—that players can utilize to take on beasts as they quest for the crystal.

Atlus showed a bit of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax newcomer Sho Minazuki late last month, and needless to say he's still as sadistic as ever in the latest tease. At the start of this clip Sho says he will destroy the world, and only one life will live on while everything else dies. Despite his nasty attitude, there's one person he wants to protect, and he'll kill anyone who gets in his way.
The end result is a slightly different video from the last, with a mix of animated cutscenes, dialogue, and some of Sho's moves in action.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax hits PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America this fall.

Last summer, Liden Films (Aiura) produced an anime promo for Yamada and the 7 Witches, a shounen gender bender about a loser who swaps bodies with the beautiful class superstar. As this video approached 1 million views, they started promising that an announcement would be made when it crossed the seven figure milestone. Well, today it met the benchmark.

Always one to keep people in suspense and guessing, Nintendo finally announced its latest IP for the Nintendo 3DS in Codename: S.T.E.A.M a new tactical strategy RPG being helmed by Hitoshi Yamagami, best known for his work on the Pokemon series and Fire Emblem, with the Intelligent Systems studio developing the game. Nintendo will officially unveil the game tomorrow on its Nintendo Treehouse E3 stream and is slated for release next year.
The game is also being designed to be less intimidating for first-time tactical/strategy game players by making several design changes, such as adding a behind the player camera view similar to a third-person shooter to the typical overhead field view common to such games. Finally, the game will allow players to have up to four teammates during missions, with the art style said to be reminiscent of Silver Age comic book heroes with the motif being based around HP Lovecraft and the Steam Age.
This game sounds pretty awesome already and I'm just going off of what was tweeted by Nintendo. How many of you are excited for a brand new tactical strategy RPG with third-person shooter elements on the 3DS?

Kazuhiko is a young, but already deeply wounded black ops agent of a baroque, retro-tech future-pulled out of retirement to escort Sue, a mysterious waif, to a destination she alone knows. Sue and Kazuhiko have never met . . . yet she knows him, having grown up since the age of four with her only human contact two distant voices: that of her elderly "grandma," General Ko, and of Kazuhiko's dead girlfriend, Ora. And Sue has been kept in that cage all these years because of what she is, and what the Clover Leaf Project found her to be—a military top secret, and the most dangerous person in the world.

But when Sakura opens it up, there is nothing left inside but Kero-chan, the book's cute little guardian beast . . . who informs Sakura that since the Clow cards seem to have escaped while he was asleep, it's now her job to capture them!

Sekai Project and Spicy Tails have teamed up to bring episodes two and three of WORLD END ECONOMiCA to the West. This all-ages investment banking visual novel is written by Isuna Hasekura, best known as the author of economics infused fantasy series Spice and Wolf. Two days after launching the Kickstarter to crowdfund the project, it's already hit the goal of $22,000 pledged.
The campaign runs another 28 days, with digital copies of the visual novel offered for the pledge of $25 or more.
They describe the Crowdfunding effort:
The success of this Kickstarter will help complete the WORLD END ECONOMiCA universe for western fans. Ever since the release of the English version of WORLD END ECONOMiCA episode 1, Spicy Tails has gotten many emails asking for translations of episode 2 and 3 but did not have the time or resources to commission a translation of those episodes. Recently they decided that Kickstarter is the best way to see if there is enough fan support to get episode 2 and 3 finished.
Spicy Tails is currently attempting to raise $22,000 USD, which includes localization, editing, and programming costs.
The base cost breakdown is as follows:
$14,000 for translation of both episodes
$4,000 for editing
$2,000 for programming work
$2,000 for Kickstarter and credit card fees
