Diary Girl reminds us why we have no friends


We love the idea of a DS-based organizer and diary (and yes, we're aware that DS Organize exists) but we aren't sure about the rest of the content in Diary Girl. To be blunt, we find the art style off-putting, but then we aren't little girls. We would rather not stare into the faces of those Bratz-like characters as we confess our feelings to the touchscreen.

When you're not diarizing, you can keep up a to-do list, customize your horrifying avatar, check your horoscope, and play this little quiz game. If answering honestly, we'd have to pick option 2 here, which is why we're going to make a point to add "stop being a self-centered jerk" to our to-do list.

Diary Girl delayed, we are unable to note the new date


You may not care about Konami's Diary Girl, but we do, a little. At least in that it's a novel idea with some neat features, like voice chat, horoscopes, and password-protected journal entries. Sure, DSOrganize does personal organizing stuff, but there's room for a retail solution, we think. We don't necessarily know how we feel about the girly branding; is it appropriate or insulting? And should we wait for Diary Dude? In any case, the core software seems vaguely interesting.

It was listed for December on that massive Nintendo release schedule a couple of months back, and now it ... isn't. Amazon has the "game" releasing on March 4, and Konami's own Diary Girl page says February. If only we had ... some kind of personal organizer that we could carry around with us to keep track of these dates. Maybe something that went along with a device we already carry around. Somebody should invent something like that.

Training a face, one day at a time

Infendo's Dale Rubin is undergoing a bold experiment: diving headfirst (obviously) into the science of facening. He picked up a copy of Face Training and is dutifully contorting for his facial health and for our education.

The experience sounds rather a lot like Brain Age for faces, with Facening spokesperson Fumiko Inudou('s head) substituting for our beloved Dr. Kawashima. Once the initial setup was done, Dale began the task of making some faces based on prompts. He was photographed making each of these faces, and then graded on his performance. He got an 89%-- an A on his very first day of face-making class!

Just like with Brain Age, the impossible seems to be happening-- we're becoming genuinely interested in the weird training game. Hey Dale, how about some daily pictures, so we can track your face's youthening process? Since that's kind of the whole point of Face Training and all.
