When I think about my childhood, it’s hard to visualize it without the above 8-bit. In fact, I’m not sure I know anyone who don’t know the most iconic Italian not named Corleone or Balboa. And without Mario M. Mario, I would argue that gaming would not have reached the zenith it now sits at. […]
Read Part 1 and Part 2 …You guys should see the word file on my laptop for this feature. This is getting ridiculous and I fully blame everyone at Cyanide Tea for their extensive bribes that apparently manage to hit the expository button in my brain to make this happen. Anyway let’s go into exactly […]
Read Part 1 and Part 3 here! CHIAKI SORATA Well after Part One my friends, I’ll promise to keep this short. After all, I don’t want to drop below average in the second part, especially since most three-part series don’t get any higher than its midway point. I assure you that the intellectual quality of […]
Read Part 2 and Part 3 here! So, for roughly two years now an English Visual Novel I have been openly interested in is Cyanide Tea’s Break Chance Memento.

So, have you learned anything today? If not, here’s a lesson for you! Never Google anything. It might inadvertently give JP an idea, so juts avoid it. What am I talking about? Well it turns out that VNs Now was among the answers Google have to the following query: ‘kansei full story’. Now me being […]
One of the more interesting debate topics inside the video game community at larger in the last year was Telltale Game’s The Walking Dead. This episodic adventure came just about out of nowhere, spinning its tale over the course of the year in five downloadable episodes. It literally came out of nowhere to win Spike’s […]
So, the beta for Sakevisual’s Yousei is out! Which means it is safe for me to begin wildly predicting some of the things that will happen in the JMMS’ third chapter. Now, if you were around for the Kansei Top 3 or the Cinders Top 3, allow me to give you the rundown. The Top 3 is […]
