★ 絶望なんかしません
Someone said I looked stressful yesterday. Really? I myself know for sure I was not. But why others thought so? In this sense I might be, as to keep a poker face is always one of my life style mottoes.
Perhaps it's because the unknown (?) virus invaded me over the past week and almost drained up all my HP. At least my hard working immune system managed to annihilate them and thus I didn't end up with being another source of biohazard.
The nature is the most mysterious! No need to explain further. Every such time I strongly feel it, and appreciate that as a single and independent unit, my system is running well.

As to think for other possible reasons:
死にゲー祭り！！ (ﾟ∀ﾟ#)
Yomawari clear! And htoL#NiQ Hotaru no Nikki clear!
Both are quite short in story, but still cost plenty of time till the very end. I (perhaps most others) simply kept dying and retrying.

Yomawari's ending theme is a true beauty, which must have deceived lots of people buying it. I'm happy with that game though -- experiencing all the silent time in Silent Hill series, I won't complain anything regarding to its BGM-less-ness.
Even it's a game in which players are supposed to die a lot, the loading is fairly quick, and every item you got is auto-saved so you can just get everything by piling up your bodies. The sound effects and the stamina system were both realistic (I think my running status would be similar to that in real world). Anyway, Alice is cute. Cute girls in a horror game (like Zero series), which is enough to satisfy me.
Plus this is a death game, I like this type (that I did all Ao-Oni versions!).

The Path of 1000 Torii (Moe-Mode)
Die!! XDD
↑ If they all happen in the real world, I'll of course be scared.
Later on, as the person who streamed his Yomawari gameplay mentioned, that although he didn't expect Yomawari didn't have a real bad end, anyone who wanted an even darker story should try htoL#NiQ, which was a way of self-killing. So after seeing the moe-moe Mion-chan, I couldn't resist to step into that fantastic ruin.
However, the first impression of this game I had was "what? you can do back-touch on PSV?" << Apparently I never read my PSV's user manual. ^^;
Yet the back touch was too hard to control, so I switched and stick to type-B.

And the first thing made me to get a screen capture was... a corpse!
Corpse x4...
Corpses again... let's have a corpse party!
The traumatic stages... of course they belong to the two irritating mini-mazes!
While noticed many people compared this to Limbo, I got curious too and took a look at it. The result was, I could save some money as I'm not interested in controlling a shota at all.
Again, cute is justice!

A long, long way to rank S in Code: Veronica
Only do Silent Hill when you're in a bright mood, as it may decrease your lightness. But you can do Biohazard at any time, as it always gets your mental state more delightful. And the very best action I like is, to shot down the dog with one handgun bullet, and then stab it to death. Nothing can be more joyful. Annoying things should just go to hell! (← Dark soul full open.)
Trying to revenge the rank E I got after my first time play, I did it over the last weekend. My memory wasn't clear yet in the second time, especially toward the end. At the end, out of my expectation that I'd spent like 6 hours, I actually spent 7 hours and half!! @@
How evil is Code Veronica! But looking at the B rank, you'll know how tough it was for the first time players.
Not only the route is long. Some difficult stages, like Tyrant 2nd, Nosferatu, hunters, and Alexia 1st. So many instant deaths. And aiming for the S rank meaning NO SAVE within 4 hours and half.
Thinking about I got S after 8 rounds in Biohazard 3, Veronica still has a long way to go. u_u

✽ The Half-Sleeping Week Was Over
Even though it's still "Shimotsuki", recent days were rather like "Shiwasu" that everything was crammed together. Over the weekend to Monday, my brain was in a semi-freezing state after going over 24 x 2 meaningless reports. And after all sessions on Tuesday were done, my brain was finally exploding that I couldn't keep myself awake.
So I had to leave it to tonight, after a refreshing link-up between "Psycho-Pass film" and "biohazard 4". (´∀｀;)

Why a dog was born as a dog?
When I heard the dog barking in the yard tonight, this question slid into my mind. What made you enjoying life after all?
It won't help anything even if I happen to figure that out; I never expect it though, such things are way too complicated than understanding why gravity exists.

Time leap will solve everything, as long as you're not having a infinite loop
Just because Lia and Maeda Jun the combination was back, I watched "Charlotte" over the past week. The first half was so great -- while I was aware of any kind of unexpected development. Yet the real development was way beyond my thoughts.
Everything up to they went to the live was perfect. The pace was going smoothly, no rushing, no slowing down. Beginning with the "remaining memories from the other 'world-line'", the story was going absurd. I personally don't dislike time leap and this sort of story, that I love Steins;Gate so much, but the combination of alien power destroys the good taste contributed by all previous episodes. Moreover, there're some isolated flags needed to be taken care of. I'm still wondering how Nao's brother will be after the time leap; he was brought to the secret base and thus had no chance to meet the singer -- don't tell me in a Steins;Gate's style, that the world will converge!
The ending is even absurd. No need to think, this is impossible. (well, since he's the main character, he's perhaps protected by the scripter's holy aura?)

Alice in Nightland
"Yomawari", featuring another nameless girl (refer to "jinrui wa suitai shimashita") who doesn't want to accept the truth that her dog is already dead due to her (or the game's tutorial's requested) action, goes exploring the night town to look for her lost dog and sister.
However, for lots of reasons, your name is Alice and "yomawari" becomes "Alice in Nightland".

I'm quite aware of my bad game play skills, that quickly in chapter 2, I got the trophy for "dying 30 times" (while one of my following players got it way after in chapter 4. orz). But in such an instant killing game, I believe I can die for over 300 times! I wonder whether the game actually counts your deaths and show it after game clear like how Silent Hill 0 shows how many times you've opened the map. -- Different from RPG, I don't mind dying at all!

After looking around for a good note taking app, I decided to not rely on any of them. Eventually the "analogue" notebook wins. Take out and write on it, no pass-code, no wait for response, no risk for app crash; for this straightforward task, stuff from a dollar store is way better than anything from google play (apparently I'm not complaining about the old spec of my X-Arc).
Besides, typing on a keyboard had made my brain vague. I need to train it again for how to write some (common) kanji properly.

♡ For Chopin's Sake
Right now, it's complete whiteout outside. Earlier this day, the forecast said there'd be snowing in the evening; as the temperature was above zero, I thought it would be merely sleet, but it did develop into real snow. The first "serious" snow finally made its late arrival (that I should probably switch the unmatched "wokashi inst. version" to a "colder/whiter" track since tomorrow)! Too bad that I believe neither my phone or even the digital camera can handle the low lightness well, so I gave up to take a shot.

I haven't played such a great RPG for a long while (partially because I didn't play so much RPG at all). Like I said 2 (?) weeks ago, now I'll give a section for it, filling up with my compliments, complaints, and complex.
- The graphic is extremely beautiful (the character design is cute too). Every single scene. For a lot of times, I stopped and just stared at the screen, doing nothing else but enjoying the beautifulness.
- Polka's "black-and-white" costume is my favourite.
- The music is good enough to be played individually -- Of course I'm not saying the "Chopin Selection".
- Need not to mention the "Chopin Selection" can be used as an introduction to people who're not familiar to him. I like the background narration inserted in each chapter.
- Battle system is fun and exciting (at some point). It's basically a turn-based-action hybrid, and it has a guard feature, which is crucial to whether you can survive even when your HP is fully tanked.
- Due to this, the battle is also evil enough. Time allowing you to respond the guard button is way too short (less than 1 second?), and once you fail, your HP goes down like mad. I assure this is the top 1 game that I die for the most of times (including normal battles!). Many boss fights I spent in this game were much longer than fighting Nosferatu (BIOHAZARD CODE VERONICA; 2 hours) and Salazar (BIOHAZARD 4; 2 hours).
- I like the setting about skill change under light or shadow.
- Other party members are actually blocking your way while moving, which is tricky to bring close-ranged characters to desired location in time.
- The camera angle is fixed, so it's (very) hard to know whether the character is at the right place in order to punch (endless complaints about chapter 3's boss).
- I never figured out how to let the long-ranged skill hitting onto the exact enemy I want to target.
- The "photograph" feature seems useless. I'm not doing Fatal Frame!
- Harmonic chain sounds delicious but is hard to activate.
- Most importantly, the story. I'd say this will be a good plot if removing the identity of the main character -- you know whom I mean, don't you...
- While ignoring this, it's a great fantasy
a brighter version of "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" (which I figured out at the end of chapter 6), even including the sort-of-hard-to-understand final chapter. - I don't really see a point of how each chapter fits the concept of Chopin's works. To me, it's more like dragging the two together with a little force. As "side contents", they're not bad though.
- While ignoring this, it's a great fantasy
- A few poke-in's:
- As a person who checks the cast voice before actually playing a game, when I was watching the "prelude" cutscene, I laughed out that "Hirano Aya voices quite a lot who jump off" (while that part is so much like Fatal Frame 5).
- Also because of the cast voice, from the beginning to the end, I only referred Allegretto as "Satoshi (Corpse Party)".
- Again, during the "prelude" cutscene, I was disappointed by what Polka's mother said, and kept complaining "don't teach your child weird things, waves form because of wind, NOT moonshine".
At last, I looked up online before doing the game, that most other players said they spent about 25 hours to finish the first round, but why I spent 40 hours (NOT including re-try after death)?? Am I this bad (I even had a walkthrough site beside to make sure I don't get lost)?? LOL
Sometimes, it's not a bad idea to do a CERO-A rated game!
However, perhaps I'll never be able to complete the second round (endless die isn't fun!), and the best RPG in my mind is still Shadow Hearts series. ^^;

Because of Veronica, I got to know "Nosferatu", which is an almost 100-year old film. I didn't know it's a silent film (my history is bad), and earlier was even looking for a subtitle. But later on I noticed, the subtitles are integrated by the makers already, there's no need for any additional subtitles (except that English printed in old German font was really hard to read and thus a subtitle would help).
I'd say the original Nosferatu is for sure marvellous, although the film itself isn't that horror (as I've been so used to this kind of matter?), while in my mind, the plague-scenes are much more terrifying than Nosferatu.

♤ 私の六鬼門♪
↓あくまでも私的な話なので今回英訳はスルーしてもらおう。
六鬼門と言っても、「コープスパーティー」になんの関連もありません、ただこの単語をお借りていただいただけ。
前にも言ったけど、完璧じゃないけど、私はC、♯２つ、そして♭３つまでのキーを引けるようになりました。今考えてもちょっと不思議だなぁと感じてます。だってそうじゃない？ちゃんと覚えてますよ、６月の頃の私はまだ♭一つさえできなかったもの。
前にも言ったけど、完璧じゃないけど、私はC、♯２つ、そして♭３つまでのキーを引けるようになりました。今考えてもちょっと不思議だなぁと感じてます。だってそうじゃない？ちゃんと覚えてますよ、６月の頃の私はまだ♭一つさえできなかったもの。
ということで、まずここ、「前半」の６つのキーを使っていた私の好きなメロディーたちに感謝。いろんなエチュードはもちろんすごく役に立ったけど、お馴染みなメロディーを引くのとはぜんぜん違うのです。後者の場合はすぐに音の精度わかるからある程度運指に役が立つ。
オトシモノ：０と、だいぶこんな感じかな。
朱隠し：０＋♭♭
ちいさい秋みつけた：♯
百鬼夜行：♯
ｓｏｎｇ ｏｆ ｐｏｃｃｈｏｎｇ ～雫の唄～：♯（ドットがキツい）
通りゃんせ：♭
トロイカ：♭
珠の舟：♯♯（２番線との戦い）
遠い音楽：♯♯（４番線との戦い）
うみねこのなく頃に：♭♭♭＋♯（前半は鬼っ！）
千夜一夜：♭♭♭（ぜんぶ鬼！ｗｗｗ）
そしてついに、腕前はまだまだなこの私が、「をかし」や「ＣＯＳＭＯＦＬＩＰＳ」などのうまいものについに抵抗不能になりました！譜面がずっと前持っていたが、やったらやる勇気がなかった。
だってみんな♯４つ以上だもん！（♯３つがまだ終わってない私にぜってー無理だと知ってた）
でもやりたかった。
そしてやってみた。
だってみんな♯４つ以上だもん！（♯３つがまだ終わってない私にぜってー無理だと知ってた）
でもやりたかった。
そしてやってみた。
最初、♭のように♯のついたものを（３番線で）引いてみたら、あれ、全然音あってないじゃん！と驚いて迷った時に、もう一度音階を分解して、ようやく悟った。
つまり、♯５つで、Ａが表記されたのに実はＡ♯で、♭３つのＡはＡ♭となり、見た目は同じけど、対応する音は全く違うで、同パータンに見えるけど実際の音は通用されていない、醤油こと～やっと分かったです！(*´∀｀)
なんか、♯６つをやってみて、♭３つの時より簡単だったそうです。コツさえ分かれば、やっぱり慣れるもんだね！

ｎｏｓｔａｌｇｉａ: ０（シフトへの挑戦、初じゃないけど）天然♭４つと♯７つがまだ見つからないが、いいや、適当に手前のものを転調すればいい。
ＳＵＳＰＥＮＤ：０（多重コーラスがあるからちょっと寂しい）
ひらいてさんぜ：０（驚いたほど転調なし）
ＳＩＬＥＮＴ ＨＩＬＬ ２：♯（この名曲を手にした瞬間に感動！）
夢で終わらせない：♯♯♯（ギターのコードが欲しいぃぃ）
空蝉：♯♯♯♯＋♯♯♯♯♯（いつかスムーズにできるのが夢です～♪）
をかし：♯♯♯♯♯（なんとか出来た）
ＣＯＳＭＯＦＬＩＰＳ：♯♯♯♯♯♯（なんとか出来た その二）
また、「Ｗａｉｔｉｎｇ ｆｏｒ ｙｏｕ」と、「Ｙｏｕｒ Ｒａｉｎ」と、「Ｔｅｎｄｅｒ Ｓｕｇａｒ」もしたいが、今ほど時間がなくてメインメロディーを抽出するのをやめた。来週するかも。

❈ 霜月の始まり / Shimotsuki Begins
Nyanko, I meant cats
The biggest happiness in the world is for sure to have a cat being waiting for your home coming!
Especially during the cold seasons, they're also having an excellent touch-feel! That's the main reason I prefer cats 100k times over dogs, they're so soft and warm~
They're also much quieter than any dog's barking, which is annoyingly noisy. Their purr is probably one of the most healing sound in the nature!

Yesterday, the first snow arrived (my Xperia lens isn't that good to reflect those tiny snow flakes and thus I've deleted that raining-ish snowing photo).
Good thing is I'm always ready for sudden snow falling, even including my portable music library.
Akira Yamaoka's "Tender Sugar". My top 1 "negative" song that will fit perfectly with any cloudy, rainy, snowy, foggy time, from day to night. I've been repeating Mozart's violin sonata for months, and yesterday I was very glad to have some nature-matching change.
But it returned to a super sunny day so I had to switch back to K. 377 (just thinks about the first movement's rushing triplets makes my hand shaky).

New falling-in-love music summary, which includes past releases!
Mitsuda Yasunori - HARUKANARU TOKI NO KANATA E
The first real Mitsuda album in my music library (as I have a few of his works from Shadow Hearts series). Regardless I know how people say his music is great, I hardly know any of the games that he's involved.
I never imaged I'd really love this album either, due to I have no touch on the Chrono Trigger -- except Noriko's "Radical Dreamers", which was one contributing to increase my interest in it. The other reason, was exactly the same as how I began to pay attention to Shikata Akiko, the album jacket! I loved the couloring and then added it to my play-list!
I wished Noriko could sing "Radical Dreamers" again here, although the new singer is good too.
-- Right after the first track's introduction begin to flow, I said "it's like the France(?) island's BGM in Shadow Hearts 2!" xD

Sakuraba Motoi / Chopin - Trusty Bell OST
Sakuraba Motoi, another well-known composer who I had no interest due to the lack of knowledge in related games. Recently, after dying in Tenjin Elementary School endlessly, I wanted some mood change so I finally began "Trusty Bell" aka "Eternal Sonata" (I clearly remember the trigger was Mendelssohn's string sinfonia No. 11's 2nd movement, and that's the truth!).
As one who does have Chopin in her favourite classical composer list, I couldn't say no to it -- No matter how much "incompatible" I feel in terms of the settings (which I'll probably complain further after the final clear but not here).
As I've been playing such a game, and thus I can add the OST into my library as well. Except some rare cases, game OSTs are the best for people who have played the game, I believe.
But maybe among the 4 CDs, my favourite piece is of course Chopin's work. Not as crazy as how I collect multiple versions for my favourite Mozart works, I still don't have a satisfiying version of his "Raindrop" -- they are all too fast to me; and now I'm happy (even though I can't put this into my classical folder ^^;).

Actually I haven't got time to even try the full edition... orz
But the youtube's trailer version sounded so good, so I believe I'll love this mini album.
Besides, after Centifolia, Mille-Feuille, Nostalgia, and Love Songs, she's having another best album coming next month. She has confirmed that will be mainly focusing on "art" songs in "abnormal" languages, and quite a lot of what she mentioned are all available somewhere.. So I might not have intention at all to buy it. I want Yorlga 2!! °A°

❆ Saving proves your existence
Since 2, or maybe 3 weeks ago, I was very stressed whenever I pass by the end of the hallway, which leads to the side door of building. There's only one reason created the uneasy aura, Halloween was coming. All glass-walls of an office located at the end of that hallway was colourfully decorated. Indeed colourful, the fluffy "XXX" in bright orange and black -- I don't want to spell that out by all means.
So that's why Halloween is complicated in my mind. I don't really understand why that belongs to one of the motifs. I'm okay with any other kinds of decoration: ghost or zombieor even licker or Nemesis, just no that.
Hope from next week the pressure will go away. u_u

Corpse Party -BLOOD DRIVE-
Corpse Party -BLOOD DRIVE-
Like I showed last time, I eventually decided to play this game and just received it 2 weeks ago. On last Saturday, after spending a week, I made the 100% completion, perhaps the fastest game I ever did during non-holiday time. (I could have talked about it last week, but it was delayed until tonight.)
As a conclusion of this series, I'm satisfied. So here I want to have a super post here, with my irresponsible playing thoughts, complaints, as well as spoilers.

Overall
One-liner plot summary: Ayumi takes care of the mutated Tenjin Elementary School and regains the existence of her late friends.
Useful characters:
Ayumi: always be reckless but sadly she has heroine's divine talisman.
Yoshiki: he knows to think before going into action and thus is heroine's unrequited supporter.
Kuon: this world will end without her.
Ayumi: always be reckless but sadly she has heroine's divine talisman.
Yoshiki: he knows to think before going into action and thus is heroine's unrequited supporter.
Kuon: this world will end without her.
Useless characters:
Yuka: can be simply deceived and causes more trouble.
Satoshi & Naomi: I don't understand what they contribute in this story at all -- when Yoshiki is fighting in the "otherworld", Satoshi is surrounded by his harem.
Aiko & Inumaru: by the end we just know more about her and Sayaka and Naho.

Surprisingly, Kuroko Seiko barely shows up.
and I want to declare that Naho is really my favourite character in this series! (・ω・`)
Traumatic Deaths
Blood Drive definitely beats "Naomi-in-infirmary"! >__<
1. chapter 4, Yoshiki in pool; kept dying over one hour.
2. chapter 9, the second axe-pendulum; around 20 minutes.
2. chapter 9, the second axe-pendulum; around 20 minutes.
Thankfully the game staff did provide candles right before them (although the pool one has a long event)!
Therefore, I'll probably won't touch chapter 4 again, at least up to that pool part. orz

Unsolved mysteries
1. how come a regular plastic bag can hold an entire human's body?! (EX1)
2. Kuon's background.
3. Why an axe, even an old one, can break after cutting a rope?
4. Letters written under the three hanged men.
5. Paired phrases for the last-boss battle (there's no hint at all for how to pair them!).

System, etc.
1. loading is way too slow, and bug is too frequent (even after v1.2 patch)! °A°
2. you can run, but not very long (stamina consumption is much quicker than in Silent Hill).
3. with no flashlight, it's darker than Silent Hill.
4. The tutorial isn't very helpful. That I didn't know how to turn on/off the flashlight as well as how to do the 10x speed text skip until chapter 4. ^^;
5. the so-called "damage-floor" is annoying; evil spirits run too fast.
6. as the last of series, why not provide a end list in the bonus? I remember Book of Shadows has it!
7. some "well-known" name tags are waiting to be collected, including two (this guy and this guy) from the develop team; this also implies this game draws the final conclusion.
8. length of each main and extra chapter isn't well balanced.
9. soundtracks are great!

Déjà Vu
Although I acknowledge some devices are popular in general, the following brought up my memories immediately.
1. to find batteries in order to extend flashlight -- Kyoufu Taikan Juon -- but out of batteries doesn't cause game over!
2. the encroached organs -- Saya no Uta & Silent Hill -- it's obvious.
3. various death scenes in which someone's head getting cut off -- Puella Magi -- they're all mami-ed!
4. the red pyramid-ish thing... -- Silent Hill -- Mr. Pyramid's Corpse Party cousin, and the mini-3D model looks cute! lol
5. the true end, last scene -- Angel Beats! -- is this only me? xD
6. hide into a closet, but unfortunately fails -- Aooni -- aooni opens the door.
7. Ayumi's time loop after other fellows die in chapter 6 -- SIREN NT -- not the original SIREN.
8. Satsuki's "blooming" head -- Biohazard 5 -- majini~
9. the "key words" for the last-boss battle -- Hareyakanaru Sora no Yukue -- Katakiri Rekka's album

This afternoon, I saw the PV of "Yomawari". The BGM is so beautiful! Although there's no BGM at all in game, after watching someone's stream play, I want to play it as well! It sort of reminds me "Majo no Ie".
While my first impression is Alice (in wonderland) dresses in red and joins a horror film!

✾ Accumulated This and That
This year is definitely warmer, as there's no snow yet, and it's still above zero.
Although a good sign is it's getting colder recently, the stronger wind is also annoying.
While winter is coming, squirrels are preparing for the winter. During this week I've seen so many of them. But too bad I couldn't catch a single good snap. They run so quick and I'm never prepared with my camera for such swift little things.
-- And I must be the type who has a slow metabolic rate, as right now I'm stillcode cold.

Speaking about code...
↑ Can't stop agreeing with it, and this post made me want to read "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" again. I read it many years ago that I don't remember any details about it. But I do know it's of my interest.
Meanwhile, I tend to get confused between this and Frankenstein; I don't know why.

Milk is never a key item!
Last week I, after a long while (not less than 10 month), was making a castella. Not only that I don't remember anything regarding to the recipe, I even made a mistake while retrieving it from my quick recipe reference stock.
For some reason, I completely ignored the existence of milk. However, it turned out well as normal. And I didn't think there was any difference in terms of the taste as how I baked it before.
Actually, I even didn't realise the lack of milk until about 28 hours after; yet I was thinking that I could finally use up that box of milk and then to get some more fresh earlier on that day.
At least it didn't change the result, maybe I should take milk out of this recipe from now on?

Silent Hill and Shakespeare and German
Continued from my not-ended-yet Silent Hill Zero, I wanted to know more about "The Tempest". I don't deny that Silent Hill made me of more interest of reading his works. Similarly, I ever went through his comedies back to 2000, but I don't have a super brain so I barely remember any of even the main plot, except "The Merchant of Venice", which I read in a simple English version.
Off-topic: Silent Hill's riddles are much more serious than Biohazard. I love the headache 3 weeks fighting with the Shakespeare riddle with Heather in the bookstore! xD
This time, when I got his original "The Tempest", I was like in an endless hole. The old English was such a pain to me that I kept looking up the dictionary (fortunately it's easy on kindle), and quickly forget what they mean... orz But I indeed understood, that why English and German share the same ancestor. Modern English has evolved so much, but modern German still resembles the old English.
A "bad" metaphor, English is the influenza virus and German is the cyanobacteria.

Great News
1. Shimizu Takashi + Kawai Kenji will be involved in Biohazard's 2017 full-CG film!
They're so good at horror films, but I'm also a bit worried (or curious?) how the film will be like. Obviously Biohazard series is transforming from survival horror to action.
YET I NEVER MIND BIOHAZARD GO BACK TO THE PURE HORROR AGAIN!!

2. By a random search today, I found Murakami Haruki's new book is available on amazon.com! I was almost switching my region to Japan in order to buy the kindle edition there. Good thing that I haven't done so.
And, amazon.com's version is also cheaper than amazon.co.jp!
So please also get more of his novels in Japanese for kindle too! Japanese novels have to be read in Japanese! (I know the hope is weak as even amazon.co.jp doesn't have them.)

Moreover, Suga Shikao is releasing his new album in January next year. It may be unexpected that I love his music. In fact, after falling in love with "19-sai", I tried more of his music and thought, "even merely from the title, there's an Murakami Haruki-ish aura". Later on when I learned that he's also a Murakami fan, I was pleased. People who like the same thing will eventually connect somehow. (¯―¯”)

Recent Orders (Cont.)
As I initialised it a month and half ago, I want to give it a conclusion.
Also, I should say this only include my physical purchases -- there's no fun to "photo" digital buys anyway.

Silent Hill HOMECOMING.
-- used copy from ebay, remember to disinfect it with ethanol!
I insist that the HOMECOMING cover looks like Harry Potter, although I fell asleep during the first time watching its first film and never touched that series again.

Because lots of CP fans didn't give it a positive critique, I got the physical copy instead of the digital download, as I might want to sell it in future, although not that likely...

P.S. I was trying to make a record on last Monday but eventually I failed. As I was on gaming mode again.
The secret to play a RPG with a 200% enjoyment is to get a good walkthrough site for the gears and avoid being spoiled. Different from that I like to count my deaths in survival horror, I never want to die in a RPG battle. :3
