The Shin Megami Tensei franchise is one of my all time favorites. I didn’t delve into these game until Persona 3 several years back, but since then I’ve played many of them and have enjoyed them all. My personal favorite has to be Persona 4. My husband and I even named our corgi after Kanji…
Fantasy Life: Mushroom Quiche
Master Alfredo has just tasked me to cook a mushroom quiche. This is going to be easy! I just need to go out and find some fresh, delicious mushrooms. Now where shall I look first? The forest nearby has to have a few laying around. Would it be smart for me to run out as…
The World Ends With You: Ramen
The World Ends with You is a fantastic game coated with positive life lessons. Even the title of the game gets explained near the end as a motto for living to the fullest and expanding your own horizons (even if it initially sounds like a pretty negative saying). As Neku struggles to find his purpose…
Yakuza 4: Green Tea Float
During my recent vacation in Japan, I visited Kabukicho just northeast of the Shinjuku train station. This small area of busy narrow streets is a red-light district and just so happens to be the real life influence for Kamurocho in the Yakuza series. I found it surprisingly easy to navigate the alleys and crosswalks because…
The Sims 4: Cherry Muffins
With the release of the new The Sims 4 expansion, Get to Work, they introduced a new skill for your sims: baking. I love baking and the list of recipes added to the game made my mouth water. There is no doubt we’ll revisit the other recipes introduced, but let’s start by looking at one…
Guild Wars 2: Peach Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream
Last week ArenaNet opened prepurchasing for their new expansion Heart of Thorns. They also announced information about guild halls. My small guild has been working towards upgrading our guild as much as we could recently. We’ve managed to unlock all the major discipline upgrades but are missing a few of the guild mission types. I…
Fallout New Vegas: Wasteland Omelette
While I was out of the country, Bethesda released the official trailer for Fallout 4. I’ve been looking forward to the next installment of the series for a while now. I’ve enjoyed each of the games I’ve played so far and after seeing the trailer I’m pretty pumped for this next one. Last night, Bethesda…
My Visit to Eorzea Cafe
For the past three weeks I’ve been out of town on an adventure around Japan! Recipes will be coming back starting next week. I’ve been jetlagged all week so coming up with a recipe was difficult. Instead of the usual, I’m bringing you my experience at the Eorzea Café, the FFXIV themed restaurant in Tokyo….
Tales of the Abyss: Karaage
I’m sure many of you have realized how much I love the Tales of series. Tales of the Abyss is the one I hold dearest to me. Sure, Tales of Symphonia was my first game in the series but the characters were one dimensional and the gameplay hasn’t aged too well. And although the Tales…
Don’t Starve: Meatballs
While I play Don’t Starve, I tend to empathize with my character’s plight. As my character is having a hard time scraping things together, my stomach tends to chime in with a grumble. Making food in the game makes me think of all the delicious things I could be eating. But of course I’ll continue…
