This month my fellow Fandom Foodies and I are celebrating Nyanuary where we make recipes inspired by cats in fiction. These adorable fuzzballs can be found in many games, from just roaming around in the open world to demanding the player cooks them the perfect meal. When I heard what the theme was, Neko Atsume…

Starbound: Banana Ice Cream
Last week, Starbound left early access and officially released its 1.0 patch. I was very excited to play this game when it first came out for early access in 2013. I loved Terraria and was ready to see what the next big step was for the gathering and building game type. My friends and I…
Overwatch: Fundae Sundae
My husband and friends have been playing a lot of Overwatch. Most nights I’ll listen to them playing while I entertain myself with other games. I’ve heard my husband talk about his many achievements in the game and several of his best plays. Without having played the game I have learned a lot about it…
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…
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…
Kingdom Hearts 2: Sea Salt Popsicles
I remember sitting in high school and being excited for the school day to end so I could continue my adventures in Kingdom Hearts. When the second game came out, I had just started college. I remember playing through it and joking with a friend how if I have a son, I will have to…
Yakuza 4: Green Tea Ice Cream
It is difficult not to become immersed in Japanese culture while playing Yakuza 4. From the setting, characters, and even the food options in the game you can’t avoid the feeling of being in Japan. A few times now, I’ve loaded up the game just to walk around and enjoy the atmosphere (also to play the…
Starbound: Avesmingo Ice Cream
Ice cream and Starbound go so well together on my blog. When I first saw the image of avesmingo ice cream, spumoni was the first thing that came to mind. Spumoni is my favorite ice cream flavor. I’m sure many of you are wondering what exactly is spumoni (it seems to be not well known)….
Yakuza 4: Coffee Ice Cream
Several customers came to your office looking for zero interest loans this afternoon. They all shared the same reaction when you said, “Yes, there is no catch. The loan is completely interest free but there are a few conditions.” They sat down and told you why they needed the loan. Based on what they request,…
Starbound: Banana Split
An eerie silver glow stabs through the cold darkness. You pull out your flashlight and try to find some relatively safe footing for an opportunity to reach the goal. Although your resourceful crewmate has constructed a flourishing greenhouse out of nothing but sickly green dirt, it has still been a week since your ship ran…
