Take yourself to Irvine CA... you will find ramen like the on in the picture above.

What is this... since we got no new info we're talking about ramen now!?

Talking about ramen... did you know Gackt eats Ramen only once a year? For his birthday lol He goes to a specific store in Kyoto I think and store opens just for him lol.

I love ramen since I was a kid, used to go fishing and get 50 yen (around 50 cents) ramen in Japan. Only soup & noodles, sometimes if he's nice he gives you egg or charshu pork lol. The store is gone now I think.

If you live in Hawaii, Oahu then I recommend Gomaichi Ramen



If you're in Japan there are tons of good ones out there... Pretty sure the ones I used to check out are gone or changed, been 10+ years LOL. Lots of good one near Tokyo area, there was one I waited maybe 20-30min in line I think was at Shibuya or Akehabara. They have service station in Atami (Izu prefecture side) that had this ramen called Jigoku Ramen (Hell Ramen) the noodles, soup was all red... then they had Stamina Ramen, where the noodles were green made of spinach... weird but was unique lol. Another weird one I was into for a while was by Fujisawa station (Shounan area... Slum Dunk...lol) was Gyunyu Ramen (Milk Ramen) it was salt based ramen with added Japanese rich milk.

If you're in south cali like me right now... not much ramen stores I give 100% ratings... but if I have to choose would be:

Orochon Ramen - Downtown LA



Hakata Shinsengumi Ramen - Torrance CA



Santoka Ramen (Hakata style) - Torrance CA
This one is always crowded during lunch hours, they are good but the portion is super small. Ramen & Ingredients comes on side.




People say Ramen Yamada tonkotsu is good too... but I think it's too rich for me... it's the first ramen I couldn't finish drinking the soup cuz it was too oily from the pork fat... But I have to say their Charshu is dang good for sure.

Any city, in North America, that has a china town or an Oriental type district, can find that kind of cuisine at their restaurants or supermarkets. I live in Montreal and I can get that anytime.

Q: Are there plans to release a benchmark? If so, when?
A: We are planning to have two. The first one will be for Beta to see how well your PC can run it, and the second one will be right before launch and it will include character creation with all races.
