\\*Breast reduction, Halo anime, Ninja Gaiden, me*//

Breast reductions:
Men concerned about the size of their breasts are opting for breast reduction surgery in record numbers, delighting plastic surgeons.

A meeting of UK plastic surgeons was told that over the past 5 years breast reduction surgery for men has increased 1000%, with the operation now the fifth most popular cosmetic surgery for men.

Plastic surgeons are delighted by all the new business:

“We are seeing men of all ages coming in to have their breasts made smaller. They are losing their inhibitions about the operation and deciding to undergo an operation which previously was a women’s operation.”
In 2008 alone a thousand men underwent the procedure, which costs in the region of $1,700.

The other top operations are nosejobs, eyelifts, ear corrections and liposuction. The popularity of penis modifications is not mentioned.

The UK has one of the highest rates of obesity in the world, with 2003 UN estimates suggesting 23% of the population is obese, only beaten by Mexico with 24% and the US with some 31%.

For some reason the plastic surgeons fail to mention the utility of losing weight in reducing breast size…

Halo anime:
The newly released preview for the upcoming Halo Legends anime (below) has impressed many, but some can’t help but notice some curious discrepancies between the anime and the game, such as the complete absence of ranged combat in favour of lots of jumping around and punching…watch the vid in youtube: Halo Legends - The Babysitter(preview) (Spike tv)

The studios involved have previously attracted attention with the liberties taken, and with this latest trailer it certainly appears they are in no mood to be constrained by the setting of the original game, though whether this is to the advantage or detriment of the anime remains to be seen.

Ninja GAiden (renamed to Oppai Gaiden due to it's.....ah...revelations)
A graphical comparison of the new PS3 version of Tecmo’s breast physics engine Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 to the Xbox 360 original reveals the PS3 version to be spectacularly superior to the Xbox 360 version, just as some had suspected.
Whether this is a case of Tecmo not bothering with the Xbox 360 version, or, as many will doubtless like to claim, the PS3’s capabilities being superior to those of the Xbox 360, is an interesting question.

It might be wondered why they do not highlight this rather spectacular difference in their marketing efforts…

The game is due worldwide October/September.

Going well. 4 pages into Chapter 2. Oh yeah! However, Project 1D is left abandoned.
