The World of Gaming~ New Frontiers!

Yo everyone, I'm back~! 
It's been a while, and I'm so sorry! First, my internet got shut off thanks to a certain someone and some family issues. Secondly, I ended up with the flu! RAWR I'M ANGRY! Well, not really.
ANYWAYS it's Wednesday, do you know what that means?
It's gaming news! Anything new in the world of gaming, you can find it RIGHT HERE! Excited? You will be when you hear what's happening~
By the way, what do you think of the title? It's just a working title, but I can't think of a better one right now... If you have some ideas, post on our facebook or comment below!

Have you heard of the new Oculus Rift? Maybe it's old news, but this is the debut of virtual reality that you can play at home! Best news? It only runs about 300-500 dollars! I'm pretty excited to get one, horror games will be revolutionized~! Hehehe... As I said, this has been out for a while, but I wanted to at least make a passing comment about it. I'm gonna save up to get one, so look forward to that!
ERMAHGERD IT'S GORGEOUS! FUCK YEAH~

*ahem* Anyways, there's also some news in Indie games! Digital Awakening released a pre-alpha of the game Rush to Adventure, a side-scrolling adventure game inspired by Mario, Zelda, Mega Man, and other classics. I might try this out, it sounds exciting~

GTA V was released not too long ago. I'm waiting for it to come out on the PC though, so does anyone have thoughts on it? I think the graphics look really good, and I'm pretty excited to try it out! I love anything open-world, exploring is always a lot of fun for me. I really enjoyed playing VI, but from the looks of things, they really stepped it up from VI to V. Have you seen the graphics for this game? Amazing, right?


I suppose that's about all I want to comment on in my sick, tired, bored, and generally lame state. I do want to say one last thing, it's not gaming news for the world, but rather, plans that I have.
So while I play the platform games, PC games, and indie games, I also love visual novels to DEATH! I'm going to start on part 2 of Katawa Shoujo soon, so look forward to that! Also, I'll be posting the Luna scare video that Anemone mentioned probably tomorrow, YAY!
There were two games recommended to us, Homesick and Vanish, so we'll play through those soon as well~
I'm doing a playthrough of Shiro Oni, a spin-off so to speak of Ao Oni, so get excited~!
Also, I will, later on, be playing through some R-18 visual novels. Anemone mentioned MonMusu Quest, Monster Girl Quest, in another post, and that is one that both of us will be playing through. Basically, even if you request games like eroge or otome games, we will most likely have no problem with it, is what I'm trying to say~ In fact, we may play through them without being asked!
Also, the Higurashi games are on my list to play through, yay!

Are there any games you guys are looking forward to playing? Comment with your favorite new game, and let us know what's so awesome about it! You might just see a mention of it in a future blog post~

The (not so) Wonderful World of Drama CDs~!

Mina-san, konbanwa!
Good evening, everyone~
Today, I am going to talk about something that I didn't think I'd share on here, heh. I, normally, prefer games like Left 4 Dead, Fallout, .Hack, etc... But lately I've been doing a lot of PC gaming. Since my laptop can only handle so much, I've been playing a lot of interesting visual novels, some are mysteries, some horror, and some are even, yes I dare to say it, romantic! *gasp*
Yes, I am referring to Otome Games!
Haha, anyways, as it turns out I've also discovered Drama CDs! These are a GREAT way for me to practice my Japanese, since it's really hard to find people in this area who know Japanese and are willing to practice with me. I also decided that if I translate them myself, as many don't have English translations, I will accomplish 3 things:
1: My Japanese will get better! (Dakara, ima ore wa mada jyouzu janee)

 2: I won't end up with a splitting headache and have to translate it every single time I want to listen to one. Hey, I get bored from time to time! Plus, it's comforting hearing voices speaking Japanese, I think... I dunno why, though.




aaaaand...


3: All those lonely, bored, high school girls in America can enjoy them~!





There's one Otome game in particular that I've been enjoying. It's called "Starry*Sky" and there are four versions, one for each season! So far only ~in Spring~ has been translated into English, but if I can figure out how to make a patch for a game, I'll try getting a group together to translate the other three into English.

Basically, this game personifies the 12 star signs, each one is a handsome guy. There are three in each version. The Pisces is a major tsundere... urgh. He's kind of annoying~
They made an anime out of this too, but I haven't seen it yet. I'm gonna check it out when I get done with all my other anime, haha.
If I were to rate it...
Story: 3/5 stars, it was good but could be better.
Characters: 4/5 stars, I feel that they really did a good job projecting the signs as characters.
Art: 6/5 stars, the artwork made this game worth playing! I just want to look at these pictures all the time!
Voice acting: 4.5/5 stars, it was pretty damn good.
~~~

Anyways, back onto topic, there are different drama CDs for this game. Remember how I talked about the Yandere drama CDs? These are similar, except the relationship is MUCH MUCH healthier~
In any case, the drama CDs for this game fall into two categories: Seiza Kareshi (Constellation Boyfriend) and Seiza Danna (Constellation Husband). Pretty obvious, yeah? Well, I'm translating the Seiza Kareshi series right now, as I have WAAAAAY too much time on my hands! I'm starting with Pisces, simply because his pronounciation is fairly easy for me to understand, although Cancer's is more easily understood...
I've only done Track 1 so far, the intro, but I'm posting it here!
.....
Urgh, I'll just copy+paste the text below, that will be easiest.
If you want a link to buy the CD, it's Vol. 3, then here it is! The link goes to Amazon, but if you search Seiza Kareshi Drama CD I bet you'll find it elsewhere in no time!
Also, I'm sure there are other places to get it. This /is/ the internet, after all. I encourage you to buy it, but I can't force you, haha~

Oh, also, I'm willing to collaberate with other Japanese speakers out there! My translation is definitely not 100% perfect, as my vocabulary in Japanese is low, plus I translated the whole thing by ear. I know a lot of Japanese, but mostly sentence structures, slang, verbs, and some words here and there. I'm bad with colloquialisms and such...Yeah, this is my first translation EVER! I'm pretty damn proud, even though it's not great... It took me FOUR HOURS and this is a THREE MINUTE TRACK!... Still, I'm proud~ *posting it at the VERY bottom*

...Well, that's enough of my incredibly, surprisingly girly, post...
I'll be posting a playthrough of Monster Girl Quest soon, hopefully tomorrow, so look forward to an amazingly perverted time~!

Please feel free to request translations~! I really enjoy translating stuff, and it helps me out too! I have a lot of free time on my hands, so feel free to ask!

~Aggroe~

Translator’s Note!: I looked online and there wasn’t a translation I could find easily, and I wanted to  practice my Japanese. So I’m taking on the project of translating the Starry Sky Seiza Kareshi CDs!  I’m doing it aaaaaall by ear, I don’t have the ‘lyrics’ in front of me, so bear with me as the translations may not be 100% correct. ^^ Enjoy!

Seiza Kareshi Vol. 3 ~Pisces~
Track 1: I’m Kanata Nanami[1]  ～Self-Intro～ 
H-hey. I love… y-you. Did you hear me? I already told you, I… I love you! S-sorry… I didn’t say that well... But… I really do love you.
*EPIC MUSIC*
Hey, you know me pretty well. Huh, you know but you want an introduction? You…! *sigh* Well, whatever. I’ll tell you, so you better listen up. My name is Kanata Nanami. I’m a Sophomore studying Astronomy (in High School).
My birthday is March 18. My star sign is… Hey, I think you know this one. Hm? Yeah, you’re right, Pisces! Of course you knew that. My blood type is B. Huh? The personality of a Pisces? Ugh, guess it can’t be helped. I’ll tell you about it but I won’t say it twice! Listen up! A Pisces person is very emotional, but not very logical. So, Pisces people are kinda feminine.[2]
But, it’s worth putting up with. Pisces like artistic and beautiful things, and their own world view is something important to them. So, they fit in best with creative jobs. Heh, I guess this suits me pretty well. It’s a bit confusing… Even though they make their own world view important, they run from being alone… They don’t like involving people.[3]
They feel that way.[4]
They might be annoying, but they when they love someone they won’t leave them alone. In that sense, they can be little devils without meaning to. Ehehe~ Am I a little devil? Huh? I’m different, you say? Cut it out! A-anyways, that’s how a Pisces person acts. Got it?
I have one more thing to say… I understand the stars, so I want to learn more about you. I care for you more than anyone else could.[5]

[1] Here, he says “Nanami Kanata”. Since it’s Japan, Nanami is his last name.

[2] This was… difficult. The Japanese is “Kanjo no mamani shigachi nanda”. I think this is a correct translation, but am not sure.

[3] This line was rough as well. “jibun no sekaikan wa taisetsu suru kusee (kusai) ni naze ga hitori de iro no nigetetta… tsui maario makikonde shimau”

[4] Lit. “That sort of place exists”

[5] Lit. “My feelings for you won’t lose to anyone else’s”

7 Awesome Asian Styles!

Hello Everyone~
 This is less geeky and more just trendy. I'm gonna give you a few of my favorite Asian styles! Since me and Aggroe both like Asian things XD I mean who doesn't? So here are 7 Asian styles for each day of the week in order from my least favorite to favorite~

7. I'm a huge fan of Decora Kei! This one is completely INSANE! These girls seriously look lie My Little Ponies! They cover themselves with all kinds of pretty pastel colored necklaces, hair clips, bows, earrings, everything you can possibly think of! They are covered!

6. There is also Fairy Kei which is a lot like Decora only with less accessories. It's very pastel and pretty but toned down a lot. A lot of people say they are the same thing. I can see it too they look very similar.  Also while Decora is more rainbow and pastel colors, Fairy is more just pastel. Also Fairy girls normaly have very pastel colored hair as wall.

5. There's also Lolita which I love! It's basically big hair, big dresses, big jewelry, sparkly, pink, girly, gorgeous and very dressy! There are different types of Lolita too. Like Gothic Lolita or Victorian Lolita, I've even seen Steam punk Lolita mashups! It's very elegant looking and very cute!

4. The next style I adore is Ulzzang! It's pretty much the Japanese hipster! Big glasses, sweaters with shorts, baggy clothes. The eyes are also wide and long but not nearly as dark as Gyaru.  It's very chill and cozy looking and it's more on the adorable side.

3. Visual Kei is another favorite! It's like Japanese punk goth! Lots of black and darker colors with pops of neon! The makeup is usually very dark. The hair is spiky and very colorful! It's like if you took punk and goth and mixed it together with all the insane accessories and clothing that is visual kei! In my honest opinion this one looks hot on guys!

2. Gyaru comes in as one of my favorites because I love it when a girl can pull off both cute and sexy and that's just what Gyaru is! Girls tend to have the really big, fluffy, curly hair. It can look a little outrageous and I think that's awesome! Also really dark, really big eyes are a big part of this style! The fashion is pretty trendy looking!

1. My ultimate favorite style is school girl! Now I don't think this is an official Japanese style but damn do I love it! Cardigans, bow ties, blouses, plaid skirts, knee high socks! All of my favorite articles of clothing in one! The make up and hair is usually very basic and pretty.

I hope you liked this very girly post!
