'The Cat Lady'
I've played many games varying from different genres. And each time I discover a game that I like, I feel that the world of gaming is truly expanding. Some of these different genres and type of games have been around since the 90s and even early 80s and 70s. But I've found one game that has changed the way I've perceived things in life and it's made me stop and think about many things in both my life and in gaming in general.

The Letter Guide: Zachary x Hannah Route
Introduction! The Letter is one of the most complex and well-written visual novels that I've ever come across. What was once a humble Kickstarter project has proven to be a masterpiece, at least in my opinion. The choices in this game are incredible, with over 32 routes possible. Not only do they cater to most shipping tastes, but they also prioritise character development over romance. The true ending is beautifully tragic, but despite this being a horror story, you can still have your happy ending.

'Dream Daddy'
There’s a lot to say about this game. But to sum it briefly: it’s full of puns, certainly colourful, and gay in every sense of the world. The visual novel takes place in a modern neighbourhoods where most of the residents just happen to be single, are parents, and gay. The Dream Daddy universe is an example of what can happen if we lived in a diverse society free of discrimination. It’s hands down one of the manliest visual novels that I’ve ever played. The game’s objective is simple: you move into the neighbourhood with your daughter, Amanda and the aim is to date and woo seven of the eligible bachelors.

The One Thing We Don't Do Enough of
I think that there’s one thing that society doesn’t do enough of, and that’s celebrating the success of others. It’s instinct to be competitive, and far too often, people bring down others for a temporary fix. A little bit of competition is harmless occasionally, but not everything has to be a competition. There’s no need to be salty because somebody has more followers than you. You shouldn’t feel too down about it, either. Remember what they said in school about there being no I in team? People are quick to name and shame the failure of others. To make things more tragic, they ignore successes just as easily.

Things I Remember About Tokyo . Top Story - December 2017.
Ever since I was little and started getting into anime, it was always my lifelong ambition to go to Japan. In July 2015, I made that dream into a reality and I think it was one of the best trips of my life and the country's capital has left an everlasting impact on me. Tokyo was one of those places that I knew I would love before even stepping one foot in the city and now that I've been to Tokyo, I think I can say that it's one of my favourite cities in the world. There's a lot of things I remember and most of it feels like a neon blur, but there are some very vivid memories of Tokyo and many fun stories I've been able to share.

Things I Remember About Rome
I've been to Rome several times with my family and I've enjoyed it every time. It's a place that I will never forget, but if I go to Italy again, I will choose another city to explore like Venice or Sicily. With that in mind, my trips to Rome have offered me a pleasant experience and I can't wait to go back to Italy again.

Bayonetta 3 Confirmed!
The "Bayonetta" series is an action-packed game series full of hack and slashes. It's developed by Platinum Games and directed by Hideki Kamiya who is currently on Twitter and does often respond to fan tweets. The game holds strong influence from mythology, particularly Scandinavian mythology. Ever since the first Bayonetta game was released in 2009, it's become an international hit sparking controversy for feminists where people wonder if the title character is a good role model for women. I think she is and is a pretty god-damn awesome one at that.

Swagasaurus Run
Forgive me if I still have the urge to write Starbucks instead of Swagbucks. I'm partial to a nice brew at Starbucks. Swagbucks is a lot different, but you can use Swagbucks towards a Starbucks or two. So for the benefit of those who have never heard of Swagbucks, it's a site that awards its members for using their sites and taking advantage of their promotions and taking part in their surveys. You can pretty much do anything with Swagbucks: watch videos and play some games. They pay in Swagbucks, which can be used to redeem as gift cards or Amazon.

Hyper Japan Christmas Market
It's been another successful and fun convention. Hyper Japan has always been one of my favourite conventions for specialising in all things related to Japanese culture and the geekery goodness inspired by it. Even though I only came for the day, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and stayed there longer than planned. I've mainly attended Hyper Japan for shopping, but this time I feel like I've been able to enjoy the convention for what it really is about: the entertainment, workshops, and making new friends along the day.

The Songs From 'The Letter' Are Pretty Damn Good!
I'm not gonna lie: this game has broken my heart, disturbed my sleep and emotionally wrecked me. At the same time, it made me fall in love with their characters and make me feel like part of the Luxbourne gang. I've started playing the game last month, and since then, I've already written several pieces of fanfiction and a few articles about the game already. I briefly mentioned in a review that I loved the music in the game. A lot of video game music always struck a chord with me because it's made specifically for that game; it's more personal and easy to relate to.
