Regular GSW columnist Jiji has also been keeping up with D3 Publisher's hilarious Japanese shenanigans on his weblog, and the July D3 Monthly update is now online, hurray, chronicling the latest games from the Japanese ultra-budget publisher.

There's definitely some geekout exclusive info in here: "A full-color booklet with information regarding D3's upcoming releases - the June edition of it, that is - leaked to the net, and I made a PDF out of it. It's 3MB, so beware the download time and/or the Acrobat loading time. It's got information on and images of The Maid Uniform & Machine Gun, The Let's Make a Robot, and a new kanji quiz game for PSP." Aha, The Maid Uniform!

But here's the excitement: "Retailer release lists have yielded a couple of upcoming titles, one of which should be familiar to many. Vol. 109 is The Taxi 2, the sequel to one of Tamsoft's (apparently) better titles, while Vol. 110 is...The Escape From Los Angeles. What can this be? A faux eyepatched Kurt Russell dispatching street punks and grinding up experience levels while using an ambulance to escape from a hilariously inaccurate L.A.? We'll see." Indeeeed!
