Fly Me To The Moon, And Let Me Slay Among The Stars

The last Suda51 game I played was Liberation Maiden, a short but terribly enjoyable 3DS game with an absurd premise and a little cheesecake.  It was fun, but it wasn’t really what I expected from something with the Grasshopper Manufacture … Continue reading

Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries

The “Classic Fairy Tale, just darker” thing is perilously close to a cliche, these days.  ABC has gotten four seasons of Once Upon a Time out of it, with a fifth on the way, and I’m not ashamed to admit … Continue reading

I’ve had a 3DS for a few months now, and it’s seen frighteningly little use playing actual 3DS software. It does make a fabulous regular DS – but, since I already had one of those, that’s scarce justification to have … Continue reading

Streetpass in China

I took my 3DS to China for a couple of reasons – first, the thing has been criminally neglected and I figured that I might play it more if I didn’t have the Vita option, and second to try to … Continue reading

Densha de GET

My first exposure to Proper Public Transportation came back in December of 2005, when I went to Tokyo for the first time and met the Yamanote, the loop line that – if you have an hour to spare – will … Continue reading
