    So I was gone for two weeks, off in Italy working on stone walls. Twas pretty fun, but there was no (consistently usable) internet to speak of so now I have to catch up on what happened these two weeks. And there certainly are things to share.

    fault milestone two side:above has been released
    You can find it on Steam for I think 15 bucks. It seems milestone two was split into two halves, and although the creators said they worked with that in mind I've already seen complaints about ...

    Pretty straightforward. Some hairstyles I enjoy and think look nice in video games. Key words: in video games, because some video game style, I'm not even sure how they would be pulled off in real life . More power to you if you can though! Most of these are on the simpler side, however!

  5. Super Mario Maker: Days 2 & 3

    By the third day I had unlocked all the items in the creator (excluding the mystery mushroom costumes).

    Speaking of Mystery Mushroom costumes, yesterday I beat 100 Mario mode on the medium setting (which you must to unlock Expert, more on that later). Which costume did I get rewarded w/? Tingle.

  6. Cat Almost Died, Now We're Kinda Broke

    I really don't expect anyone to donate or help.

    And I really hate that we're even doing this- it makes me feel pretty selfish and trout (in spite of some friends encouraging us to do so)..

    But, here it is:

  7. Super Mario Maker: Day One

    Due to technical problems re: my WiFi, I wasn't able to play Super Mario Maker until 5 days after it's release. Nonetheless, I have to say that I'm just glad to have started it. Super Mario Maker was not only my most anticipated game in a long time, but one of the most anticipated games of the year. My early prognosis is it was worth all the hype. However, I haven't played through it fully, so I'll save a full review for after I've unlocked all the essentials.

    Apparently, the 9 day ...

    Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai! (lit. Do Love Me Seriously!), or just Majikoi for short, is a visual novel developed by Minato Soft. It's very long and expansive yet consists almost entirely of lighthearted slice of life.
