A2- A DUE! Free VN on android! Belissimo
I want to thank those of you that seem to be finding this blog as my views have shot up past 10000 . I'd also like to apologize that I only pop in to blog when I find something that I enjoy or excites me.
But today I had that feeling again.
I was sifting through my android tablet as I installed chaos rings 1, omega and 2. There's a sale on right now on the android store where everything is half price. (Date- 30/6/13)
An update popped up for a game called A2- A due. It looked like code. I couldn't remember installing it and had no idea what it was.
As it turns out it was a game I installed for free whilst searching for visual novels on the android store. I fell in love. I suggested to my partner to give it a read to understand writing short stories and pacing scenes with music. The game was so beautifully put together, and I just found out it was by a group that made it in a month.
It's not too long, maybe an hour or 2 and has 3 endings that you will want to find so you can unlock the chinese/english translation which makes complete sense when you understand the premise of the story.
The guy in the image, doesn't speak english, you have no idea what he's saying except by how Sona understands it. It's so beautifully written, a story about a girl who's lost her love of music and has to try and find it again through her deceased fathers orchestra.
I heavily suggest you give it a go and for any extra details or images please visit-
Some of the art is absolutely adorable, some of it is very amateur. No offense to the group, the images were still charming and some of them reminded me of Rukia from Bleach, but their main art is the cutest chibis EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR! Go give them some love, this game got me to blub like a baby and it's only 2 hours long.

How the Wii U finally got me into Mass Effect!
I felt like sharing my feelings about Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U, regarding a meme my partner shared today.
My biggest surprise in the whole of this game is the fact that I don't hate the multiplayer either. I did 3 matches and they kinda sorta carried me along because I'm that bad at it but no one seemed to be bothered. They just picked me up and we got on with it. I added about 10% to my possible war assets. I'm assuming that the more areas you clear the more of your war assets come to aid you at the final turn.
Great idea. We need more of this in games because if I can avoid multiplayer, outside of MMO's, then I won't touch it.
So what didn't I like. I didn't like my choices. As the story unfolded I realized it was my fault I didn't do more research. I didn't understand the gravity of the situations and I didn't feel like the comic gave me enough insight into what I was actually picking because I wanted it to be over as soon as it started talking. It's a great asset for those choosing their previous choices but for a new person starting how could you even comprehend what your choices would do?
So, my solution, upon completing my current game I will be starting again from mass effect 1 on the PC, which I also own on steam. I will progress onto 2, and in preparation I have purchased mass effect 3 so when I finally get back there I can buy the citadel, kasumi's dlc for 2 and maybe the other dlc's if I feel like it. I do not know how it ends, I didn't read any of the articles when people started complaining, I do know that if you want to read a disappointing ending you should try the Labyrinth manga.
I love Mass Effect now and if you like visual novel outcomes and don't mind hard work I suggest you try it too.
(Hurray for images- I've missed them too)
In the past week I've barely looked at another console. I've spent a while in Defiance on my PC but I still made sure I went back to Mass Effect 3. Keep in mind this is a series that I bought the first game because I thought I "needed it". Tried it, didn't touch it again. My partner played number 1 later and then number 2, we have the special edition of at least one of them, I still didn't touch them (I should really check what's in it).
Speed forward to the present day with the release of ME3 and I didn't bother to buy it at all. I was done pretending I cared, I opted to save my money. Then something odd happened. My partner said "I want Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U, it has a mini map...etc" so we found a pristine condition second hand version (Yes, a used copy, that works perfectly well and yes Nintendo, you need to drop prices quicker)
He played it once it got into our hands (which is a whole other story with a lot of rigmarole) a week later I found him playing multiplayer. A person who plays strictly single player games unless he has to. He promised me it helped his normal game and it was actually really fun. A while later he completed the game.
At some point in this Sony gave me a free copy of ME3. I played half hour, I didn't go back, something to do with the game crashing on me, it sealed its' fate.
So, 1 week ago, he sat down with me, he put ME3 into the Wii U "forcing" me to play it. I propped up on the bed, held the game pad and off I went. It still had its' teething problems, my Wii U likes to crash when it feels its' being overworked and had an odd gamepad error the other day but I plodded into it.
I made my comic choices, thinking far too lightly of the topics they were asking me about. I didn't know that paragon was top and renegade was bottom and that renegade is absolutely always, almost, the wrong answer. I kept Kaiden, (sorry Ashley), I killed the rachni queen, I destroyed the research but I saved alot of team members in my choices (I assume all of them are alive in mine) and I got going.
I have now played 28 hours, discovered it's very much like a JRPG in the fact that you do a mission and you spend half hour running around your ship listening to conversations, you go to the citadel and hand in quests (and pick up 50 new ones thanks to Shepard's eavesdropping skill) and then you go and run around the solar systems collecting items and tricking reapers into almost catching you as you fly out the other side, and back in again, for fun.
It's very much like a VN. At one point I went on a date with Kaidan and friend zoned him, I went straight to Liara and friend zoned her and then I went on a lovey dovey trip with Garrus and told him I loved him, and I squeed, out loud and everything. 
I discovered that the Miiverse is delightful, especially for moments like "OMG Garrus isn't in the engine room" and also during a school mission I met up with Jack and posted this image 'below' of her. Someone popped up and stated that they didn't know she was in it, they want to go back and play it again to find her. I have to admit, I love Jack, she's highly amusing, almost as much as Edi.
