Excellent! Yes, relaunching Firefox did the trick! This is so great. I am also a katamari addict. While driving, I've sometimes wondered if my ambulance-sized katamari could pick up random objects along the streetscape - thankfully never acted on that urge. Imagine the headlines on that one!

Someday I'll get a 360 to play the newest katamari games, because I can never get my brother-in-law to stop playing long enough to let me have a turn on his 360. :-(

Awww...that is an excellent display of nonviolent tactics.

I can't get sound, is anybody else having that problem? This looks great... Katamari Damacy is one of my favorite things!

This is the most hilarious comment thread ever. I started reading it last night when the comments were in the low 500s, then I came home from work tonight and was shocked to find over a thousand.

I am not sure why people feel so entitled around BB, as in, "we gots a right to hear the juicy dirt behind this story," or "Teresa has no right to disparage 'customers'. Everybody knows that the customer is always right." Look, asshole. Just because you read a blog that is on the internets for free does not mean that you are a customer. Even if you have purchased a shirt or something, that does not give you carte blanche to run around like a ninny and try to show off the fact that you saw an old Richard Burton film and read the Cliff's Notes for 1984 in high school. Crowbarring the word "Orwellian" into your shrill, angst-ridden posts does not make you sound smart. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I am also dismayed at how many commenters take special exception to Teresa. Male moderators also take flak, but it seems that too many of the posters just bristle and chafe at the thought of a woman daring to emasculate their precious, precious posts. Get over yourselves.

I cannot believe how many people couldn't read between the lines and see what a pageview-whoring-coup this was for VB. Maybe you guys could try being a little more shrewd next time?

Wow, how much do those things cost? I have several pure graphite sticks for drawing, but I would kill for one of those. The olive branch and horn are especially beautiful. Does anybody know the price range? (Yes, I've already emailed his studio to inquire, but I'm impatient!)

Wow, this story links to such an awesome collection of then vs. now photos. I should dig up some of my little kid photos and recreate them!

Satava's work is BEAUTIFUL! Check out the large moon jellyfish sculptures he creates. Someday I would love to buy one. He even has special lamp bases that illuminate them from below.
