Princess Maker 2
I've mentioned Princess Maker 2 in two of my previous articles on here. I've compared it to Long Live The Queen, and I also listed my top 10 favourite endings of the game. I've played both the refined version and the DOS version. I've been wanting to review this game for a very long time, but being unable to review it on Ciao made me put it on hold for a while. Now I feel I am ready to give it a balanced and fair review. Princess Maker 2 is the second and the most superior installment of the Princess Maker franchise.

One Night Stand
One Night Stand is something that people would like if they fancy a quick fix. Now I know what you're thinking, I don't mean it like that. If you haven't seen the subtitle and video and scrolled straight to the text, or are feeling dizzy from the aftermath of whatever, then let me enlighten you. Sorry, I couldn't resist a lame joke or two.

Ciao Ending Payments for Reviews
It's been something that many of us have seen coming for a long time, but social comparison/product review site Ciao has announced that they will stop paying writers for their reviews and rates. The future of the site always seemed bleak since the announcement of sister site Dooyoo announcing that they will cease to pay for reviews in 2015. Yesterday I wrote my 300th and final review for ciao.co.uk. It is an end of the era indeed, but I will never forget the friends and memories that I have made on ciao.co.uk.

Why I Love Writing Fanfiction
I think a lot of people talk down about fanfiction. They say it's not really fiction and consider it the lowest form of entertainment. A lot of people out there still don't know what fanfiction is and the ones that do don't talk about it so much. It's often considered a guilty pleasure or something that is sinful. Why is that? Is it because the first thing that comes to mind when somebody says fanfiction is either an Ash Ketchum harem or Harry Potter coming out of the closet or have heard about the legend of infamous fics as My Immortal or Agony In Pink. The latter inspired the banning of all NC-17 rated fics on Fanfiction.net, but many still make it through.

Possible Couples From 'The Letter'
The Letter by YangYang Mobile is one of my favourite visual novels at the moment. I love the characters and how complex they are. The story is compelling and the game is character-driven. It has just the right amount of gore for me. If you take the horror element away, you'd be left with one of the most vibrant casts since Ace Attorney. If you take the drama element you've got a perfect Halloween Flick. It works well together like peanut butter and jelly jam.

The Benefits of NaNoWriMo
November is National Novel Writing Month. The goal is simple: complete your first novel draft within a month. Target word count: 50,000 words. I can tell you that this is a lot easier said than done. It's a challenge for any writer, whether you're a budding beginner or an excellent expert, this challenge is a real challenge. Whether you reach that target word count or not before December, you can learn some valuable skill sets as a writer. As they always say, it's not the winning but the taking part that counts.

Hufflepuffs Are Adorable as Fuck
Since writing my article, The Day I Discovered I Was A Slytherin, I felt the urge to write an article about the other three houses: Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor. I'm a Slytherin and I'm proud of it, but I think the other three houses are just as amazing. I like all of the four Hogwarts Houses because I think they can represent some amazing abilities and traits. By default, you have to be an amazing person if you've got your letter of acceptance from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The Letter (Visual Novel)
Link on the visual novel database. The Letter is a visual novel released this year by Phillopino based game company YangYang Mobile. The game is inspired by the company's love for Asian Horror and visual novels. This is their first game. The Letter was initially a Kickstarter project. They successfully raised over $30,000, had over 500 supporters, and hired some of the most talented artists and voice actors around the internet. The game was got the go-ahead by Steam and was released earlier this year.

Awesome Versions Of Taylor Swift's 'Look What You Made Me Do'
Taylor Swift's single, "Look What You Made Me Do," became the most watched music video in 24 hours with the most plays in a single day on Spotify. It also topped a lot of music charts all around the world. The song shows a change in Taylor Swift as opposed to the sweet country girl she started off as.

Google Translate With Shakespeare
William Shakespeare is one of the very few writers in the world that has remained relevant even centuries after his death. His famous work has been adapted many times and his use of words have been constantly dissected by generations of pupils and teachers. He is considered one of the great writers of all time. Of course, nowadays this can be easily disputed as everybody has their own opinion. Despite this, his work is still referenced and adapted even to this day. So, a random thought came to me after watching some Google Translate sing music videos: what if Shakespeare's work went through the ever-so-famous Google Translate treatment?
