I’m so happy that more and more Japanese visual novels are being localized for North America, especially on consoles like PlayStation. 2016 had its share of memorable VN localizations like Steins;Gate 0, but in terms of quantity I didn’t find last year to offer nearly as many VNs as (my self-titled) 2015’s banner year. Fortunately, 2017 promises to ( Read more... )

Needless to say my writing has been on the back burner yet again. I am working on Chapter 8 of At Sixes and Sevens, but the story’s been a pain in the butt to write lately. It doesn’t help that I’ve been warding off a cold (I haven’t caught it yet, but I can tell my immune system is fighting tooth and nail to stay healthy-which is good, but I can ( Read more... )

It’s been an interesting few weeks. I’m happy to report that (it appears) everything has been settled post-car wreck. I’m still vehicleless at the moment, of course, but I’m managing thanks to friends and family (thankfully, my workplace isn’t too far from where I live, so that’s a plus). Honestly, the “worst” part about everything that’s happened ( Read more... )

It’s Halloween season, and I ended up with arguably one of the biggest scares in my life two weeks ago; my vehicle was smashed into. T_T Thank God that nobody was hurt. Still, it’s been a whirlwind of rigmaroles ever since, dealing with the insurance companies and so on, not to mention sleepless nights from post-accident nerves. But it looks like ( Read more... )

Just when I think I’ll be able to really get back into fanfiction my schedule gets all whacked-out again. @_@ It’s to be expected at this time of year with pre-winter prep (yes, we’re already getting ready. I can’t believe it, either. But considering how last winter was on the mild side in my neck of the woods, we can’t expect lightning to strike ( Read more... )

It's been a few months since my much-needed job change, and while I'm feeling much better (and happier) to be out of that negative situation, I've noticed that my overal health hasn't improved by the leaps and bounds I'd expected. My doctor suspects I may have (probably) developed some poor habits (sleeping, eating, etc.) during my previous job, ( Read more... )

It's no secret that I recently ditched my old crappy job for greener pastures. And while the majority of family/friends have supported my choice (most agree "it's about time!"), one particular acquaintance of mine wasn't so much. Incidentally, she worked alongside me at said job, so she was well aware of how stressed and unhappy I was, yet after I ( Read more... )

Latest goings-on in my life have been pretty boring but busy. I’m still getting used to my new job (as in I’m still a total rookie, something my boss doesn’t seem to quite fathom. Newsflash: newbies are bound to screw up in the beginning. It’s called learning and gaining experience!)…but on a whole it’s still much better than the shithole I worked ( Read more... )

The third and final entry in the Zero Escape series, Zero Time Dilemma, debuts tomorrow, and like many fans I am thrilled! And to think that not long ago that there was a large possibility that this game would never materialize. But it goes to prove that game developers do listen to what their fans want.

Zero Escape has a special place in my heart ( Read more... )
