Hakuoki: Memories of Love (Hijikata Toshizo) ミ☆

Oops. I did it again. Ahhhh, I'm so sorry, lovelies! I have a tendency to neglect my blogging (if you've ever followed my DA, you'd know lmao). I get lazy and caught up in real life. A lot of things have happened, but I'll save that for a different post.

Anyways, I'M BACK and I acquired the limited edition box for Hakuoki ~Stories of the Shinsengumi~ on the PS3. (I bought this the day after it came out, but haven't been able to play it until last week.)

Isn't it beautifuuuuuul?

Just last year, I became an otome game fanatic and have probably catapulted bags of money at a certain company for their phone apps *coughVOLTAGEcought*. A friend recommended that I play Hakuoki on the PSP, and it was the best/worst mistake of my life. When the PS3 version was announced, I hopped on that preorder right away! How could I not? There's SO MUCH content, and the high school AU was something that I'd resigned myself to never having in any way, shape, or form. Someday, I hope to be able to play the ~Sweet School Life~ doujin, but I don't have a Vita or the ability read Japanese.

Now that I actually have time to play, I decided that I'd like to make walk-throughs for the "Memories of Love" portions. (THEY'REREALLYCUTEOMGICAN'TEVEN.) Granted, you most likely wouldn't even need to use a walk-through, seeing as there are only ever 2 choices per chapter, but eh. I'll most likely start putting out walk-throughs for some of the Voltage games I've gotten, too.

Unfortunately (Fortunately?), it didn't occur to me to start doing this sooner, as I've already finished played through 4 of them. ahahaha I'll just do it all over again! :D

There may be spoilers if you've not played the game.

Let's get started!

Shenanigans #5 The Post PAX Edition [DAY 0]

Hellooooo, Internet. :3

Well, PAX Prime 2013 has come and gone. I can, honestly, say that I had a good time this year despite all of the recently accumulated drama surrounding the con. (If you've no idea what I'm talking about, you can refer to this well-written article on WIRED. Why I'm Never Going Back to Penny Arcade Expo)

Good stuff:
Friends
Parties
Free swag/loot/booty
Amazing cosplay

Meh Stuff:
Less free stuff than previous years
Harder to get said free stuff (ie. you need to pre-order or wait in long lines to play the demo)
Con funk on Day 1

haha There wasn't anything bad about the con, from my experience. Good friends will always make your experience a thousand times more entertaining.
