Sloth Wednesdays

Sometimes, a day enervates you to the point where the three exams you have the next day and the two exams you have the day after that don't motivate you to work anymore. If you are a student like me, you may agree that the middle of the week is the most stressful. Although on Mondays you might be recovering from your all-nighter or your no-nighter on the weekend, the anxiety over impending tests usually only starts to press in on the last two days prior. And tests are generally taken at the end of the week.

I deem this day of the week Sloth Wednesdays.

Are you a Bad Apple? Nope, I bet you are a 3-D person with real red blood cells and eyes staring at these words. When I say, "Bad Apple," I refer to a maiden's game called Bad Apple Wars released in 2015 by Otomate. Check out the link down below if you are curious (though it is in Japanese)!

The characters are nicely designed (plus cute to boot) and the synopsis is intriguing, so I am really excited about it! In reality, I am one of those people who feel giddy after watching an epic trailer, or after seeing a cool poster of a show or other I recognize online. Too bad it can only be played on the PS Vita; I have an Xbox 360! Why?!

I have been in love with visual novels for a while because it is different compared to your Call of Duty, your Fallout, and your Kingdom Hearts, though they have a place in my heart too. The style of the game, where it centers on the story rather than adventuring or fighting, attracts me.

The Danganronpa project is my favorite hitherto!

Plus:
Touhou: Double Dealing Character is a fun yet difficult little game!
The World Ends With You got me with its soundtrack, its story, its game system, and its character designs.
Namlich Shirayuki (sorry I only have romaji, or Roman letters) is also a new release which plays on the classic tales of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Alice in Wonderland. I do not know much about it, but I tend to like these sorts of games.
Ozmafia is a maiden game that I am actually playing right now, though due to school I haven't been able to unlock all the possible routes. It is also my first maiden game. The designs are simple, almost cliche one could say, but the backgrounds are really pretty, and the majority of the love paths (that I explored already) adorable. Warning though: there is one unpleasant 90% of the time. The other 10% is just appreciation for the work done to create it and acceptance of the choice the developers made in including it. Like I mentioned earlier, I love it when characters from other works come together in one bundle. Of course, there are times when it gets a little too overbearing or insulting to the original work, but I don't think this is one of those times.
Sol Trigger is yet another game not available on the Xbox platform. Zut! The world that Imageepoch had fabricated, along with the supernatural Sol element, allured me.

I had searched for Bad Apple Wars only recently, and in this fresh enthusiasm I drew a picture of the heroine from the game yesterday. It will be down below, along with another drawing I did a few days ago. Neither have been cleaned up so if, for example, you notice that neck lines show on the teddy bear's face, just ignore it.
