| 5:29pm | Duo Princess: First Impressions | | | | With my console gaming era now in its twilight years, it takes a simple and fun breed of game to lure me away from the twin pursuits of anime and manga. In this vein, a few days were spent happily carving a bloody path through the ranks of generic soldiers in the Utawarerumono mini-game, and | | |
| 3:01pm | Connection Problems | | | | Unfortunately, no sooner do I get a blog than my router decides to behave erratically, preventing me from getting online with my usual computer.

| 12:48pm | UtaWarriors: Utawarerumono mini-game | | | | Picture the scene; you’ve been keeping up with the Utaware anime, but it wasn’t quite enough.
