Puffy AmiYumi

They recently invaded America with their J-Pop music. The band "Puffy" was formed by Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura and made a hit single in 1996 called "Asia No Junshin". They have achieved superstar status in Japan, occasionally appearing in magazines and television, and have even successfully sold its own line of clothing, shoes, and toys.

Their band name was changed to "Puffy AmiYumi" in America to avoid confusion with Sean "Puffy/Puff Daddy/P.Diddy" Combs.

Puffy AmiYumi's music has somehow combined traditional rock instrumentals, Japan pop sensibilities, and their vocals into a style of their own.

They also have their own animated show on Cartoon Network (Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi) in which Ami, Yumi, and Kaz go through a series of misadventures. Hilarity ensues. Their music (and even themselves) will be seen and heard in every episode.

Puffy AmiYumi is taking over THE WORLD... but... can't... resist... the music...

Excel

Part of the Microsoft Office Suite, Excel is a spreadsheet program that basically resembles a paper ledger sheet, or a giant table. Unlike paper, Excel makes your job easier by removing the need for erasers or calculators! It definitely makes number manipulation almost painless.

Newbie: I need to do my taxes.
Computer Shop Employee: May I recommend Microsoft Excel?

Rockstar Games

Creators of the Grand Theft Auto series, they have a reputation of making games with intense violence, strong language, sexual content, use of drugs, and even getting them banned in certain countries.

Rockstar Games makes violent games like no other.

famicom

The Japanese name of the Nintendo Entertainment system (NES). It might also be known as the "Nintendo Family Computer". It's an 8-bit console that played cartridge-style games. You can easily tell the difference from the US and JP version by its cosmetics; US had gray/black, JP had red/white/gold.

Wow, you're playing the NES? In 2005? You're totally old-school.
