Happy Lunar New Year, at least in my time zone! Moon cakes for all!
What... the... smurf...? Why would you do that? Why? So in a nutshell, Hate Plus thought it was a wonderful idea to be a jerk to fast readers, by having it block itself for TWELVE smurfING HOURS after Day 1 ends until you can continue on to Day 2. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!? It's even a smurfing achievement to not skip any of these pointless waiting times over three goddamn playthroughs. ...
Saya no Uta, in English The Song of Saya, is a visual novel developed by Nitroplus, localized in English by JAST USA. If there was ever a novel that deserved a warning that it's "not for the faint of heart", it would be this one. I chose Do not obscure grotesque images so a quick warning; there is gory imagery in this blog post. Honestly, if this is what makes you reconsider reading this novel... you probably ...
I could be the president of the US and I would talk to you like you're a teammate. Like I know what's appropriate to say and what's not and when the time arises I can be super serious. But lighten up. Stop with the ego shield.
So Kazamatsuri.org, a Key community site I frequent, is having a bookclub on Key's second visual novel: AIR. As I have not read AIR, and also because this bookclub sounds pretty fun, I will be reading along. So here's how this'll work.

Ever17 -The Out of Infinity- is a visual novel developed by KID, and localized in English by Hirameki International. A prime example of a story that simply could not, would not work properly in any other medium. One of the few openings I've always watched every time I started up the game. Overview The story of Ever17 follows six characters as they are trapped in the underwater theme park "LeMU", being left behind as it was ...
Boy from Kansas coming through. Follow the yellow brick road! Follow the yellow brick road! Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick road! We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz! What's up EoFF? We did it, IX just barely managed to crawl out with the win eliminating X-2 and butts were sore. Mine is still sore from the spanking Psychotic gave me. "No, Tori. That's a very bad Tori. Go to your room and think about what you've done!" It looks ...
Okay it's been a while since my mind has been blown this much by plot twists, and they just keep on coming. In fact I don't think any visual novel since Umineko had this kind of a 'wow' factor with its plot twists. Like seriously, all these disjunctioned plot points and lines suddenly come together to form the big picture and the amount of sense it makes is... scary. Let me go a bit further back. So in one of the first few choices you can pick which protagonist you play ...
I was scrolling through Facebook and there was an article on an artist whose music I'd never heard. I'm noticing this is becoming a frequent trend. There are Facebook articles and Cracked articles and 9gag posts and the whole bit about artists I've never heard of So I tried tonight to listen to one of them and also a popular Katy Perry song that I hadn't heard because I haven't listened to radio music in about 2 and a half to 3 years now and she's had some hits since then. And I dunno, ...
