[その他] 成年限定のキャットフード？

Just something random to cap off the month, since I've been playing nothing but gun shooting games for a long while. Plus Blogger's being slow as hell lately so even minor feature updates take ages to do.

Saw this ad cap in an old Nico news article roughly around July. (and found it in my Images folder just now while I was doing some file housekeeping) 

This Amazon Japan ad categorized a certain "Cat Food for Adults" as an R-18 product. That means kiddies who want their grown furbabies to experience this exotic treat either have to get their parents to buy it or just look for something else.

The product specs might have been fixed by now, but it's just so funny that the usage of "adult" can be misinterpreted in that sense. Looking at it from a different perspective, the mistake might be attributed to the fact that as a loanword in Japanese, it consistently gravitates towards things you never want the young'ins to see.

[VITA] ルミネス エレクトロニック シンフォニー

Aside from galges and RPGs, I also fancy diving into puzzle games from time to time. Tetris was an enduring companion from my elementary school days and later in life I fell in love with another block-dropper going by the name of Lumines.

After getting a Vita, Lumines Electronic Symphony became a part of my initial to-buy list... or at least it was until I saw that Ubisoft handled the publishing (went through quite a few poorly-made games by said outfit). The critics sang praises for it being impressive from a gameplay and graphical standpoint, but few of them even noted that the key part of the game is also the music.

The first Lumines for the PSP had a unique sonic vibe to it that made every screen a joy to play despite it's simple presentation. I eventually abstained from getting Electronic Symphony upon finding out that the Daft Punk project didn't go through and that it did not feature even a single track by Takayuki Nakamura.

Got to try the download version for free later on via PS Plus. In my opinion, it's a mixed bag. I appreciated it as a fan of the franchise but there were a lot of things in the game that left much to be desired.

[その他] ういす！ また生きとるやで！ （その２だったっけ？）

Here we are again with another sign of life post.

With all the funky stuff that life just throws everyday, it's always a problem of motivation. When I'm done with all the necessary evils, I usually just hit up Nico to watch some game commentary vids, drown myself in gaming and occasionally hassle a certain someone else's blog.

I started reviewing for the sake of my self-satisfaction, though nowadays the satisfaction doesn't come up. Even so, I'm not abandoning my solitary spot on the web just because of that pathetic excuse. This may be far from be my usual fare, but for the sake of finally getting another update in, I'm gonna post a little "gaming progress report" of my own.
