Another case of infrequent backlog clearing

Things have been pretty stressful lately and doing another post for the blog was the least of my worries, so once again I've ended up being incredibly behind in posting these recent arrivals of mine.

Besides that I've also gone through Emi, Hanako and Lilly's routes in Katawa Shoujo and replayed Muv-Luv Alternative using the complete patch (I previously finished it with the leaked patch), the latter was a really helpful distraction when I lost my internet connection for a few days.

Nemmy's first arrivals of 2012

It's the start of the new year and I've already received a vast assortment of items (the AmiAmi haul also got my ass heavily stung by Customs).

I was able to finally play Ougon Musou Kyoku CROSS (which was a pain in the ass to get installed properly) and the official English release of Osananajimi wa Daitouryou (my purchased copy took too long to arrive so I got it via 'other means' as soon as it became available). I also have the much awaited Katawa Shoujo ready to play as well (I've been wanting to see more of this since I finished the Act 1 demo).

Nemmy's final backlog clearing of 2011

This'll be my last blog post of 2011 and again I'm catching up on the backlog of arrivals that's built up over the last few weeks (nothing new there then).

But during those few weeks I was able to finish the Trial Version of DEARDROPS (I hope the full release comes out soon), finally complete both Little Busters! (now the wait for the additional content of Little Busters! Ecstasy to be translated begins) and Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 8: Twilight of the Golden Witch (I quite enjoy how it ended, but I do admit it had its flaws) and start playing the newly released PC port of MELTY BLOOD: Actress Again Current Code.

Getting stung takes the fun out of collecting

Even though I planned on prioritising my anime and toku backlog I still ended up getting engrossed in a few visual novels...

I started and completed Conquering the Queen (the Dark Chapter was fun), finally got the good ending for Satoru's Chapter in Remember11 (seriously, how could they end it like that?) and finished the current translation patch for Fate/hollow ataraxia (oh I how wish there was a voice patch for this game).

Setting foot in Liberty City once again!

Since my last post I've been busy playing (and completing the Campaign mode of) War for Cybertron (it reminds me of the Armada game in some ways), but it should be noted that I had to purchase a Xbox 360 control pad for my PC as trying to play games with the keyboard and mouse just wasn't gonna work for me (sorry, but it's too damn awkward!).

Never thought I'd be playing this on my PC!

Another change I've enabled for the blog is Dynamic Views, this feature will be entirely optional (as I don't feel like changing the current template I'm using) and can be selected by clicking on either the image of Sakura Matou or the link just above her on the left sidebar.

Personally, I'm not too keen on these new views (they lack customising options for one thing), but they are available for those who wish to use them.

Other than that, I've played and finished Sono Yokogao wo Mitsumete Shimau ~A Profile Kanzenban~ (or as it's more commonly known, A Profile). And I've also added Symphonic Rain to my ever growing visual novel backlog.

Speaking of games...

It was great to have this when coping with the hot weather!

Man, I hate this bleeding hot weather! It isn't just hot, it's fucking unbearable!!! This is one of the few times where I've actually had to rely on my electric fan to cool things down.

Anyway, that's enough bitching towards the weather. I'm just going to note what I've been doing these last few days (if anyone cares).

For the most part I've been playing KIRA☆KIRA like crazy from beginning to end. This VN was also entertaining enough to keep my mind off the sodding weather for awhile.


Before I got the VN I'd seen remarks that stated it was the VN equivalent of K-ON!, but I'd feel like disagreeing with that because KIRA☆KIRA had a lot more focus on the music aspect than K-ON! did.

Their training to be punk rockers was hilarious. The girls dressing Shikanosuke Maejima in drag and getting a kick out of it was memorable to say the least. And near enough everything else about it was great in its own way too.

Long story short, I consider KIRA☆KIRA a must play VN!

Besides that I got to try the Episode 1 patch for School Days. Get the Watanagashi-hen Day 1 patch for Higurashi (haven't played it yet). Watch the extremely condensed as hell CLANNAD ~AFTER STORY~ Kyou Chapter OVA (haven't seen it subbed to really comment on it). And finish the week two patch of CROSS†CHANNEL.

Oh, and I saw the start of the Umineko anime. Yeah, they did chop some bits from the VN as I expected, but it wasn't too bad cos they kept Rosa's 'epic parenting' skills for all to see!

Thank the Taiyaki for this patch of Kanon

My 'habit' in missing patches for Kanon lost a round (for once) as I didn't miss the release of NDT's latest patch for the Ayu Tsukimiya route.

I was however a tad preoccupied with something else yesterday to actually think about writing this post about it.


And seeing as they'll be releasing a 'finalised' patch for it next month, I'm simply going to wait for that one now (unless I happen to get bored and decide to play their current 'completed' patch before then).

Now I get to patch my Kanon with Gyuudon

I know I said I was going to consider waiting until Kanon is completely translated, but I just thought it was funny that the habit has continued to the new patch for Mai Kawasumi's route.

If I miss the release of NDT's next patch, then I'll have a complete set of misses.


Well, it'll certainly be interesting to see if the 'habit' strikes again once the patch for Ayu Tsukimiya's route is done. Although I'll probably be more interested in playing the actual VN at that time to even care about it.

Having a laugh a minute with Taichi!

I've just finished playing the week one patch for CROSS†CHANNEL, and damn, I couldn't stop laughing at Taichi's antics.

Seriousily, the dude has a funniness level about him that makes even the almighty Sunohara seem somewhat tame in comparison.


And you know what? My mind has gone totally blank cos I can't think of anything else to add about it other than how funny it was. So, I think I'll just leave my brief opinion on it at that until the next patch is released.
