| 1:02am | Hibikino Watcher vol 2 – Must find the others! | | | | While I was in Japan, I found volume 2 being sold on eBay so I made sure to snag that. Actually while I was in Japan, I probably should have bought them off Japanese Amazon used or Japanese Yahoo Auctions but before I knew it I was too late. Not to mention lack of money. So, I’m really just... | | |
| 8:58pm | What an age we live in – A farewell to fan sites | | | | This entry was mostly inspired by reading what is happening to the guys at Hardcore Gaming 101. To sum it up, IGN is shutting down all their public hosting services basically the fan sites.

| 7:07pm | Talk about getting buuuuurned | | | | Could a girl like this say bad things to you? You better believe it! Lately I’ve been playing Tokimeki Memorial 2 for probably over the 9000th time.

| 4:55am | OMG Idolm@ster on the Xbox360 is SOOOOO much better (duh) | | | | Iori is so cute! Ok, ok so if you didn’t know I have had experience with playing Idolm@ster both in the actual Japanese arcades and playing it on the Xbox360 while I was in Japan. I never really got the hang of the game’s gameplay until much later. So, many of my attempts at playing were... | | |
| 3:46am | The cons to games like True Love Story and Kimi Kiss | | | | Let me have my GOOD END! I HATE YOU ALL. The thing I hate about the Enterbrain team who designed the True Love Story games, Kimi Kiss and Amagami is that their games are just too hard and require strategy and thought. They add this stupid element of random because without a guide of any sort you need... | | |

| 3:30am | Poll of the Month: Do you play games in Japanese? | | | | Pia Carrot 2 on the Dreamcast was my first real visual novel experience. I was going to limit this to just visual novels but I decided to just make it all games. The question is do you play Japanese games even if you don’t know Japanese? I know there are a bunch of fun games out there even if... | | |

And yeah, I know programs exist that just add them all as you go or something like that. I just want to go at my own... | | |
| 7:41am | Konami enters the romance simulation ring once again with Love Plus | | | | In the latest issue of G’s magazine I found a game that looks heavily interesting to me. It’s called Love Plus for the DS and it is coming out sadly during the summer when I will be back in America. It’s being made by Konami who has a long history of making date simulation games but... | | |

| 3:32pm | Summary of Shijou Mitsuki’s story - She is my favorite girl from Kimi Kiss | | | | Just got done reading a manga centering around Mitsuki from Kimi Kiss. I was relatively surprised of the level of ease I had reading it. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I am starting to understand Japanese or maybe I am just so used to the set phrases from the genre, but it didn’t have furigana... | | |
| 11:45am | Tokimeki Memorial 2 Nostalgia Review Disc 1 - Introduction | | | | Well, this is finally the second part of a series of reviews I started nearly a year ago on the Tokimeki Memorial series.

| 3:15pm | On my last trip to Tokyo - Also all the crap I got in Akiba | | | | Overall I liked my trip to Tokyo this last time. I think I tailored it well to the kinds of things that I personally like to do. I mean, I don’t go out of my way to see historic stuff but if I’m in the area I’ll check it out. As I’ve said before I enjoy the more mundane things... | | |
| 2:55pm | Poll of the Month: Favorite kind of leg wear | | | | I really wanted to make this kind of subject my 10 Days of Ronery, which I did for the first time last year. The theme was just my 10 favorite female characters. One female character was written about each day for the ten days leading up to Valentine’s Day. Thus the name 10 Days of Ronery because... | | |
