Here's my physical game collection, and my gaming TV! I also have merchandise and game guides and some more plushies but didn't get pics of those because they're scattered about... I also have a lot of figures but they're mostly anime so I didn't include them in the pics.




Oh yeah and here's my Amiibo and (unused atm) Tamagotchi collection (though i have 2 unpictured, a rare Sanrio Tamagotchi and a Tamagotchi ON)



My handhelds and stuff are always scattered around everywhere because I'm always playing them a ton.

I'm about to say something very controversial.

I liked Jump Force. It has it's problems like how a lot of characters don't act like they do in the shows or manga, but they realized this with the DLC characters and they act like themselves to a tee. I also enjoy the gameplay. Probably because I suck at any fighting game that doesn't have the words smash and bros. in it, but I thought that it was a neat system that fit the game well. The story isn't great but it has it's moments, I did hate the parts were you won in the battle but lost in the cutscene. Overall though, it was enjoyable.

So yesterday I picked up my preorder of Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town! It's been long-awaited, and I am so excited to finally own a copy of this re-make! As soon as I got home yesterday, I was ready to open it right up! But I took some pictures for you all to see. (sorry for the huge images)


So first off, I adore the cover, so happy! Nice chibi friends! The cute animals make me smile!


So here's the first look upon opening the case, gotta say... I was stunned. I did a little squeal because it actually had a manual!!!!!!!!! I honestly miss manuals, I used to love reading them when I would get a game, and this manual did NOT disappoint. I'll get to why soon.


Next, I took out the manual. Honestly, inside the case had me speechless. The artwork on the inside was just stunning, they really took advantage of the clear cases that the switch has, and displayed amazing artwork that really reminded me of original SOS/HM artwork. It struck a nostalgia feeling in me, and I was staring at it for quite a while, admiring all of the little details.

AIGHT Bear with me as I post multiple images of the PREORDER BONUS!!!



This little pal made me so happy. PINK COW!!!!! I adore preorder bonuses, and Story of Seasons feels like the only game that does them anymore. I named her Ichigo because of the little strawberry bell on her tail. This little cutie is so soft! I took a picture of her with the previous SOS Preorder bonuses:

They're all so cute and happy together!!!!!

Next we are on to the manual! Let's check out the table of contents...

There is a COMIC. That's right... a COMIC!!!! I am in LOVE!!! This little manual was made with love, and has so much heart as it has lots of decorated artwork inside! And it even has... little descriptions for the bachelors and bachelorettes!!!!!!


Sorry for the glare image on Cliff's description, I didn't realize it until well after I took the image. I am really happy that they did this!!! This is such an awesome lil manual!

I spy... some cute animal artwork!!!

This physical copy has seriously reminded me of the joy of collecting physical editions of games. I always feel slightly sad when I get a game's physical copy and it feels barren... Story of Seasons really takes that extra step and really delivers on things that reminds me of the times as a child when I would get a new game and admire everything involved in it... even things that aren't in the game!

Now we are ready to play...


Now how I feel about the game, this is a STUNNING remake. It looks beautiful, it plays beautiful, and honestly gives me the same sort of feelings I had while playing the original, and even makes me feel nostalgic. I've played a few hours so far since I've been rather busy the last day, but I'll update on what's going on in my game in future posts. I'm hoping to actually beat this game despite that likely going to take a very long time. This game really did NOT disappoint in many ways. I can't wait to play more and more!!!
I'm super uncertain on who to marry, now that I have TWICE the options. I'm currently deciding between Rick, Cliff, Brandon, Marie, or Karen. Brandon's personality is super alluring to me, he's a really nice addition to the game.
Something fantastic is the outfits that they added that you can change into with the mirror!!! Also something I REALLY love is that when you watch TV it actually has the same screens as in the original FOMT!!!! I love the Switching Bodies and Magical Girl anime and looking forward to re-living that!

So I'll be looking forward to seeing you in future FOMT filled posts!

I honestly miss manuals, I used to love reading them when I would get a game, and this manual did NOT disappoint.

I agree with this; the gameplay was pretty good and reboot Dante grew on me. The difference between how Japan and how the US handled the game takes some getting used to.

Makes me sad how flash games in general will cease to exist at the end of the year.

Reminds me of when the NES was discontinued and suddenly no one was playing Super Mario Bros. ;)

All these erotic flash games...

I really like garbage video games. Things like Chicken Shoot, Ride to Hell Retribution, and Devil's Third. There's just something so fascinating about these games. Whether it be the plot or the game play, I really enjoy them.

Mobile gachapon games, me and a credit card are a really bad combination.

I don't believe in guilty pleasures. If something gives you pleasure, you shouldn't feel guilty about it. I believe it was the Dalai Lama who said, "if it makes you happy, it can't be that bad. If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?"

That said, if I had any modicum of proper shame, then I might find my affinity for BL/yaoi a guilty pleasure. But if anime boys making out is wrong, I don't want to be right. #fudanshilife #whyamilikethis #hashtag

(Incidentally, on the subject of rhythm games, play Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure on 3DS. Super underrated hidden gem.)

"if it makes you happy, it can't be that bad. If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?"

I still remember when I went to the store with my hard-hearned money and bought Tetris on the NES soon after it came out. I've spent hundreds of hours on this and I think I was VERY VERY good at it at some point. This kind of puzzle game triggers some happy hormones in me. In the same genre, I'd say that my "guilty pleasure" would be an old Game Boy game on which I've probably spent more time than I should have and it's Yoshi's Cookie. Just writing about it brings back the music from the game. I'm sure I could pick it up again and have as much fun as I did in my teens. I don't remember for sure but I think I did beat all 100 levels back then.

Perhaps I shoulda not been such a cheapskate and got a Switch after all!

You said that, not me. I was thinking the entire time why would anyone buy a Wii U in 2020, but I didn´t want to sound mean. I love my Switch dearly and I never cared for the Wii U and I still think the console is a bit rubbish.
That being said there are still some games that haven´t been blessed with Switch ports yet so it wasn´t a complete waste.

I really want Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Xenoblade X on Switch.

I was thinking the entire time why would anyone buy a Wii U in 2020

Yukari always seemed temperamental to me, even sometimes, well, bitchy to other characters. You see this more over time particularly if you continue beyond the main game. From the female S.E.E.S. members, I actually liked Fuuka and Aigis. I don't have a ranking preferring one over the other though. Akihiko is definitely my favorite among the male members (other than Koromaru!).

Apparently, you'll automatically be forced into romancing any of the female links after a certain level.

This. Right. Here. Not being able to friend zone anyone made things very inconvenient; I had to write out an actual schedule for those girls. My playthrough ended with Yukari being mad at me, which was actually pretty fitting considering how The Answer plays out.. That’s alright since I never liked her much... And I never played the other SMT games but if P3 FES is a little closer to them that might explain why I never played them since it felt like the same dungeon all of the time. I enjoyed the rest of it though.

The miscellaneous banner looks fine to me. Making it a smoke effect for the title was a nice touch.

This journey isn't exactly off to the best start as I add yet another:



Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town

I have very fond memories of the original, so I couldn't resist. I'll just... think of it as a three week early birthday present, yeah...

What I'm not sure about is whether to consider this one as one that can be 'beaten' or not? I suppose I might consider it done for sake of completing when credits are hit but I can't recall when that is in this game. Was it after getting married? Unlike some of the other games this one didn't really have a concrete goal. What are other people planning?

Being able to buy digitally is my bane... Temptations immediately sated

Being able to buy digitally is my bane... Temptations immediately sated

I beat 4 games this week. There were some highs, some lows, and some meh, so let's talk about them.

Helltaker 8/10

Story: The main character has a dream of demons in a harem and dammit he wants to achieve it. He goes to hell to pick up some demon girls and have a harem these demons include Pandemonica, the secretary that wants coffee, Modeus, the one you got the game for, Cerberus but not a dog, Malina, the mad one, Zdrada the bitch, Azazel who doesn't belong in this game, Justice, the cop that cheats, Female Satan, and Judgement, the one with the tortutre kink.

Gameplay: Helltaker is a rhythm puzzle game, you have limited moves and little room for error however, there is an option to skip the levels. You can move blocks out of your path and kill enemies to progress. There are spikes that damage you and decrease your moves as well as keys to help you get to the demon.

Final thoughts: Helltaker is a solid puzzle game, and it's free on steam. It has a great OST and it can get difficult but, I would definetly recomend it.

Proficent Paddles Deluxe: 4/10

They f*cked up pong. I didn't know it was possible, but they did it. The paddles are way to long and the controls are slippery. I would like to say more but there really isn't anything else.

Fire Emblem Three Houses: 9/10

Story (Buckle up, this is long one): In Fire Emblem three houses you are Byleth, a mercenary with your father Jeralt when three students, Dimitri, Claude, and Edelgard, run into you in the sealed forest. They are being chased by bandits and ask you to help fight them. You win but the leader goes to kill Edelgard, you try to save her but you end up getting killed. Just then time stops and a girl inside your head talks to you. She has amnesia but feels a weird connection to you. She somehow rewinds time and you save Edelgard as well as yourself. The knight Alois as well as some backup show up and fight the rest of the bandits. Alois recognizes Jeralt and asks if you would like to come to Garegg Monastery with him and the three people you just saved. You agree and you start to get some backstory on the character. Claude is the future leader of the alliance, Dimitri is the future king of fodlan, and Edelgard is the future emperor of the Adrestian Empire. You get to Garegg Monastery and are introduced to Rhea, the archbishop of the Church of Serios, and Seteth, the servant of Rhea. She asks you to teach one of the houses and you have a choice between Dimitri and the Blue Lions, Claude and the Golden Deer, and finally Edelgard and the Black Eagles. I chose the Black Eagles so we are going with that story. You get to the class and meet several character, all of which have more personality than the majority of characters in FE Fates. These students include, Caspar, he wants to fight everything that moves and is very hot headed, Dorothea, an orphan who grew up on the streets but was taken in as a songstress and did a noble "favors" to get in to Garegg, Ferdinand Von Aegir (if you didn't know his full name you will every time you select him in battle), a noble who doesn't know the definition of sarcasm and is kind of an idiot, Linhardt, a lazy yet very smart healer who researches crest's (I'm not even going to try to explain those) and is also the only male gay option in the house, Petra, the princess of Bridgid who doesn't speak English well and strives to do her best to lead Bridgid, Berndetta, who is very shy and is afraid of speaking to people because of her very f*cked up backstory that I will talk about later, and finally Hubert, the servant to Edelgard. Hubert isn't evil, I swear (I thought he was going to leave the party and betray us so I never used him and didn't end up getting any backstory from his supports, whoops). Also if you pick the female character like I did you can recruit Sylvain almost immediately. He likes having fun with women and that's about it character wise. You and your class are assigned to fight in battles every month but nothing serious with the plot happens until you need to fight some invaders who are stealing an artifact in the crypt, you fight the invaders but, a being known as Death Knight appears, one of them gets there hands on the artifact, the sword of the creator. The invader can't use it but Byleth takes it from him and she uses it to kill him. Death Knight escapes and Rhea executes the rest of the invaders and trusts you with the sword. Skipping forward a bit Flayn, Seteth's daughter, is missing. A scream is heard from professor Jeritza's room where another professor, Manuela, is found unconscious on the floor pointing at a small hole in the wall where Flayn and a missing student from last year. Death Knight appears and after beating him a new villain, the Flame General, appears and then leaves after telling Death Knight to leave. Rhea executes more people and then tells you that there is something wrong with a village and you must check it out. When you arrive the villagers turned violent and started killing each other. The librarian Tomas is also there and it turns out he has a larger forehead than we thought and he isn't Tomas, he is Solon. After beating Solon he retreats and the student who was missing isn't the student and kills Jeralt. Byleth gets depression but moves on to the next mission where they attempt to kill the fake student. They fail and Solon does it instead, attempting to trap Byleth into the shadow realm. Byleth gets out because of the goddess in their head and they murder Solon. Edelgard asks if you will come with her to the initiation so she can be emperor of the Adrestian Empire. This changes the story apparently. We go with her and she becomes emperor. We go to the Holy chamber with Rhea where Edelgard and Hubert (Just to let you know the rest of this synopsis is one big spoiler to the game, leave now if you want to get Black eagle route.) betray everyone and attempt to steal a bunch of crest stones. You defeat them and then you get a choice to kill or join Edelgard. I decided to give a big f*ck you to the church and joined Edelgard. The rest of the story you try to over throw the church and kingdom with the rest of your class, but after the first battle you fall into a comma and there is a five year time skip. You wake up and head to the monastery were you meet Edelgard again and you are brought back to the rest of the class who's designs have been updated. Overall the designs are good but Dorothea loses her hat and that saddens me. The rest of the game from here on out is filled with killing your favorite characters that aren't in your house (You can spare Lysithea, Claude, Seteth, and Flayn if you feel like it and I did). You fight Claude to take the alliance. After that you fight and kill Dimitri who is now king. Finally you fight and kill Rhea who becomes one evil bastard who kills civilians to reach her goal of killing you. You kill Rhea/ the immaculate one and Fodlan enters an age of peace.

Gameplay: It's Fire Emblem. If you've played one you've played the rest however, there are sections were you explore the monastery and talk to your students and you can recruit one's from other houses if you have the right skills. I didn't and only ever ended up recruiting Sylvain because I played as a female, and Lysithea because I spared her.

Supports: Supports are basically a side story showing the relationship between two characters. I found it odd that to access certain supports you need to go to specific locations in the monastery. I found it interesting that they finally added gay characters. The last time they did this was Fates but that was lost in localization because of a support between the character Soleil and Corrin were Corrin drugs him into seeing men as women and women as men. I think you can tell why this wasn't localized. The only male gay character is Linhardt however there are 5 bi options for females. These are Edelgard, Dorothea, Mercedes, Sothis (somehow), and Rhea (even though I'm pretty sure she is related to Byleth). I chose Dorothea because she is best girl. I am honestly shocked Claude isn't a gay option as he is the best looking of the males. I do have some issues with the supports themselves. A lot of animations are repeated and not well timed and sometimes they refer to other objects in the room when the object isn't there, a lot of lines are repeated, and some of the back story's are f*cked up. For example, Berndetta was seen as useless so her father tried to sell her off for marriage. When no one bought her the father tied her to a chair and beat her while telling her she is useless, after about a year of this the mother stuffed her into a bag and brought her to the monastery. This is why she is so shy, she is afraid of everyone, thinking they will hurt her like her father did.

Final thoughts: This is the second best Fire Emblem I've beaten. I like Awakening more as it had a more interesting story and the animations were smoother. If you are a fan of RPGS I would definetly recommend this. There is also a DLC story but I don't have it.

Chibi Robo Zip Lash: 3/10

Story: I think aliens are invading the earth but they're smaller than Chibi Robo so they really aren't a threat (For reference Chibi Robo is 2cm tall). I say I think as they only really mention it in the first cut-scene and never talk about it again. You see aliens in the background occasionally but you kind of forget over the course of 11 hours.

Gameplay: instead of being an open world game with a sense of progression like the rest of the chibi robo games, this is a side scrolling "action-adventure" game and because of this the game does not feel like a chibi robo at all. You use your plug to hit enemies but you can only aim right, left, up right, and up left. You can go in more directions if you charge your attack but this gets really annoying and feels like artificial playtime, made so that the game wasn't less than 10 hours long. A lot of the cut-scenes are unskippable as well and i feel like if they didn't do this the game would be a lot better.

Telly Redesign: Why the hell did they make Telly look like he's been on LSD for the past 2 years? The old design told you everything you need to know about the character, Chibi Robo's friend and tutorial character that helps him progress through the story and shows a lot of emotion to make up for Chibi Robo's lack of a personality. This new design makes him look like an annoying boss and in this game he is annoying as every time you die he tells you the same piece of advice for each stage. To make things worse his dialog is unskippable.

Final thoughts: This game blows

Modeus, the one you got the game for

July 12, 2020

Well, it’s been a month since my last update and I’ve played a few things since then. For July I’m going to be doing the Four on Four challenge and I’ve already beaten one game for it. If you don’t know what the Four on Four challenge is, then it’s where you beat four games on four different platforms in one month. There’s a thread about it if you’re interested in trying it out yourself. I’ll mention which games are a part of that challenge when I list them off.

Games Beaten:

Link’s Awakening remake on Nintendo Switch. Gave it a 7/10 rating. Not worth $60 but if you can get it for around $30 or less then I would recommend it. I think part of the reason I didn’t give it a higher rating is because I already knew the ending. Haven’t played the original, but the game is over 20 years old and so it’s difficult to avoid spoilers.

Mushroom Quest on Nintendo Switch. Gave it a 4/10 rating. Very short game. Took me an hour to beat. Most of the levels were very easy with only a few that I thought were cleverly designed.

Chaotic: Shadow Warriors on the DS. Gave it a 5/10 rating. This is one of the games I played for the Four on Four challenge. I loved watching the Chaotic cartoon when I was younger and playing this brought back a lot of nostalgia for me. Game play was okay for the DS but I did have some problems with the controls. You have to use the stylus to move the characters around and preform certain actions. One of the characters was able to shoot fire balls to light lamps or blow up obstacles, but it was difficult to get him to shoot at the lamps. There were times where I had to repeatedly swap the stylus before he would light the lamps. Also the story wasn’t great.

Games Currently Playing:

Hob (2017) on Nintendo Switch. I had nominated it for July’s GOTM but it didn’t win. It was close to winning though, just needed three more votes. Instead of trying to nominate it again, I decided to go ahead and play it as part of my Four on Four challenge.

Planet of the Apes on Gameboy Advance. Also part of my Four on Four challenge. I’ve already started this one and have gotten past the first level. One big flaw already is it’s one of those games where if you turn it off then you have to put in a code to continue where you left off. It’s going to be a pain written down the codes and entering them.

Observer on Nintendo Switch. I was planning on beating this game in June since it was the GOTM but I only played it for around one hour. I still want to beat it but I’m just not in the mood to be playing this kind of game. So I might retire it later this month.

Also wanted to talk about my first time going to a gaming café! I went out of town for a few days with some friends and family, and the town we went to had a gaming café. Sadly, my hometown doesn’t have one so I never had the chance to try one out until a few weeks ago. The place had PCs, Xbox Ones, PS4s, Switches, and VR. Luckily no other customers were there when we came so we could pick anything. We looked at their Switch library first but they didn’t have much on there. After about ten minutes, we went over to the VR headsets and tried those out. First time I’ve ever played VR games. It was a pretty cool experience overall. My friend spent the rest of their time on one VR game, but I was switching between games every few minutes. Beat Saber was the one I started with, followed by a boxing game, a fishing game, and finally Jurassic World. Beat Saber was fun to mess around with but since I didn’t have much time, I wanted to try a variety of VR games. Out of the four games, the boxing game was my less favorite. Don’t remember the name. Being punched in the face was annoying. A flash of white light would go off every time I was punched and I just didn’t like how it made me flinch. The fishing game was okay. I kept thinking of how my grandfather would have loved it. Fishing was one of his favorite hobbies. He even got a fishing plug-and-play game to play at home. Only spent maybe three minutes on Jurassic World. The gaming café charged per hour and our hour ran out a few minutes into Jurassic World. Overall, I had a great time there and would love to go back if I ever have the chance.
