Oh well, this must be what they call a ‘character building’ experience. Now off to learn about teamwork and problem solving…

Whilst Anton I toils away in the world of Back to Nature, his descendant (in spirit if not in fact) Anton II has just set up a farm in Forget-me-Not Valley. With an updated game engine for a newer generation of game consoles, what challenges will Anton II face as he tries to get his farm in working order?
When I first loaded Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life (AWL), my father’s friend Takakura introduced Anton II to his farm, and asked if he would like to try farming. Being the contrary person that I am, I decided to reply in the negative, expecting him to try to persuade me to give the right answer as happens in most games; instead, I got what must be the fastest game over in the history of the PS2.

Oh no, what have I done? All I did was go with Ayu to see her school (based on my experiences with Mai, I thought this would be a good place to seduce her), and not only was there only a stump where the school should be, but she then said a tearful goodbye and disappeared! I must have done something wrong to trigger this event, but what? At least on the other occasions I had some warning before the girl left me, but this time it occurred unexpectedly. Has all my training been for nothing? Am I left with only Nayuki to sleep with? All my dreams of a wonderful harem are lying in pieces on the floor… Continue Reading »

Spoiler Alert: Beware Noir giveaways this week.
This week I have some advice that will probably be of no use whatsoever to most of the people who read this- never let yourself get into a situation where you have to dance with a fat old lady who completely lacks any sense of rhythm. Also, should you happen to be the child of such an old lady and come to think it would be nice to take her dancing with you and your partner- don’t do it. Remember, some poor sap will have to dance with her.
The anime guide to wooing your beloved
Last week, I completely forgot about Valentine’s Day until after Tuesday Rumble had been written, so unfortunately, I was unable to include anything relevant. Never one to pass up an opportunity, however, I went to the effort of contacting a select group of anime and game characters so that they could give essential advice to those wishing to impress the object of their affections.

Shourin and Youshun may look like minor supporting characters, but as they are about to demonstrate, when it comes to HARD GAY, they can hold their own with the leads. Will these two young men impress their elders enough to earn a return appearance? And will Sakujun ever get enough BI to satisfy him?
Everyone settles down for a nice cup of tea. Continue Reading »

In anime form, Escaflowne is beloeved by many, and while it doesn’t feature on my list of favourite series, it was nonetheless a solid and enjoyable experience. Thus it was that, despite dire warnings as to its quality, I decided to venture into the world of the Escaflowne manga, starting with the two volume unlicensed ‘shoujo’ version of the tale.
