Why Can’t You Be Out Now, Project Diva F 2nd?

I can’t imagine a better way to wind down after a long day of remotely covering E3 than to sprawl out on the couch and play some Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd, a game that isn’t out in North America until the fall. Damn E3 trailers. There should be a rule that a publisher…
