Review: Hakuouki ~ Demon of the Fleeting Blossom (PSP) Firstplay

THIS REVIEW HAD SOME MINOR & MAJOR SPOILERS, BE WARY.

NOTIMPORTANT Notes: Okay, to put it frankly, I still have to say a lot of thank you-s for my friends at #bakagroup. You know guys, I feel bad. ;-; I don't know. To be honest. I will definitely get my revenge gift back next year. Promised!

Game description:

Title: Hakuouki ~ Demon of the Fleeting Blossom 
Ratings: 17+ - M-RATED (RATED BY ESRB)
Comments: I think what made this different from other standard edition is because the limited edition is granted with Collectible Artbook & Hakuouki Soundtrack CD.
Recommendation: Teenagers who love bishounen and visual novel, of course, duh.

This game is the very first game that I could BEAT in only four and half hours. Well, that is my very first record on beating the game so fast, but what could you expect? This is a visual-novel game-like, so what you could do is to pay attention to the routes and options and save as many as you can.

Well, I will review this game since I have played and pulled all nighter since 26 of April, the very first day where I got this game till today, the morning of 27th of April. I have beaten Souji Okita's Route and to be honest, I am not quite satisfied. Seemed that the flow of the story in Souji's Route gone meh. I need moar of this SoujiChizuru pairing but I guess the officials supported Hijitaka more. Never mind me ranting! D: But of course dearies, that didn't make me less love my friends and Souji, I am just not a fan of the plot. Updates will be said in related links. Click read-more.

Late Birthday? Well, I guess that is okay--!

*stares at @Kim__Jo, @Ella_Pamella, @Billooy, @rey_velz, @SteenCL*

Okay, these guys--pfft, I can't say more about these guys, oh you guys. Why they hell were you ignoring me a week ago? ;A; you broke my heart to pieces since then (till around 04:00 PM GMT). I even ranted THINGS in Twitter so you guys could at least comment, reTweeting like you guys usually do and less ignoring me again--and those are useless and I even acted like I am stupid fool ranted in the late night at Twitter and didn't reply to your mentions because I felt that I would make things awkward. (Much to my dismay, I look like a hopeless, lonely, kiddy. I admitted that! >0) But dude, okay ... I couldn't tell much more about last week and THIS week because I sat in the corner was not comfortable, especially seeing you guys chatting and I couldn't help but to study instead. /ohtragedy /shot/

I even felt like I am just too kiddy for you guys to care anymore. (that, last week).
Or even felt like a stupid dumb that annoyed everybody out with my bitching these weeks. (that, two last weeks, eh ... approximately)

But those ignorance paid off with today. I think I couldn't eat more of these cupcakes you guys made, I am going to be fatter (and taller--I WILL WAIT THAT *evil grin*) but the best present that I got today--you guys didn't leave me, you guys were still real and there for me--and celebrated my birthday, of course. (<- I know the things I said before these words were all too cheesy for your cup of tea. *munched the third cupcake) And those ignorance is just a surprise, stupid me. HOW COULDN'T I REALIZE THIS ASDFGHKLASDGHJLK Even my parents told me that you guys WOULD surprise me but I insisted that you guys didn't care anymore. Oh. Man. Blame. Me. For. This. Naivety. *rage*

But simply put, I love you guys. Fullstop. I think I will spend my time comfortably in bed and cry with a smile planted on my face. ;v;

*huggles #bakagroup*

Oh yeah. Too bad that William couldn't come. I couldn't wait to brag about my heights with him again. *evil crackles*

National Examinations 2012 - Finally DONE!

Hel-lo my dear blog! It has been for a week, hasn't it? I guess my examinations went very fine. Today is the last and I am quite satisfied with my works for my four examinations. They are Indonesian, English, Mathematics and Science. All of them went very well! I hope I could get a total score (nem, we called it) higher than 36.0 Woohoo!

Well, that is it about National examinations. I am enough with it and some incidents around that I wanted to tell you, but I guess I would save that for later.

Ciel no Surge - Ion Looks Exactly Like A Future-Kind of Wife

Official Site 

Ionasol, shortly Ion - Ciel no Surge's one and truly heroine of yours.

Official site: Surge Concerto (Ciel no Surge)
Official release: 26 April 2012 (Basically, three days after my birthday. :3)
Console: Playstation Vita

Well, really. I still don't have Playstation Vita on my hand. So don't comment on anything about that. Recently, GUST had announced a Vita game that looked exactly similar with Ar tonelico series. The way GUST did the ruins, enviroments, and even the character, they are all similar. So, let this blog presents you Ciel no Surge! GUST's upcoming game on Vita, with, exception, the gameplay is entirely different with GUST's games previously (Ar tonelico, Atelier Series, etc), and the artist who designed Ion is not S.E.C or Atelier's anymore. But, our favorite director of Ar tonelico series, Akira Tsuchiya will direct this game as well. Though, to be frankly said, I am disappointed a bit. At first.

See? Compare the environment of Ar tonelico ... (below)

Gust, before officially announced this game before, had given the fans clues about the scraps of archives of Tsuchiya a while ago (note: months ago), we, (my friends from facebook and a forum, and I) once predicted that it was the continuation of Ar tonelico series, but it would have seemed that we got the prediction wrong. As a matter of fact, we get GUST's new brand of game that is totally a dating sim kind of game in which, no battles are actually included here. It was like you are playing real-life visual game, in Playstation Vita even.

I haven't taken any interest on Ion before this newest news came by, but heck. I will discuss about Ciel no Surge a bit to enlighten this post. So basically ...

Weekly Digest 01 - Favorite Artist: ORIGA

ORIGA

Official site: *ORIGA*

Just wanted to post something about my utahime I mean, my singing goddess. She performed for 4 albums of Ghost in the Shell series and 2 albums for Fantastic Children, and recently (YES! I thought that she was inactive since 2008!) she sang for Square Enix's newest Final Fantasy game, Final Fantasy XIII-2. Have you ever heard about her? Well duh, her name was already inputted in the title, so I guess I assumed that you knew her name. Her stage name is ORIGA (Russian: Орига), but her complete name is Ol'ga Vital'evna Yakovleva (Russian: Ольга Витальевна Яковлева). 

Graphic Junks 01

Okay, I will go on to my graphic junks that I did (few hours ago, to be frank, before my cram school at 11:00 AM). There are some in which you guys might know, I will let you know. All of these icons are actually sized 300x300 px. But I resized it to 100x100px. None of them are mine. I just did the filters and enhancements. I didn't use textures. Just did things with only tools of Photoshop. Enjoy! Credit when use!

A HTML Test Page 01

I have some problems at first, then I realized where I made everything wrong. So I hope this helps for my friend, and this is the real testpage that I have done at jsfiddle. The real archive is in here, and I still can't really make the codes for real blog, yet.

<html> <head> </head> <body> <style type="text/css"> div.background { background-image: url(http://www.manixmag.com/img/1/black-pattern.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; } div.text { color: white; text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #e5e5ee; opacity:1; filter:alpha(opacity=100) } div.text1 { color:#7FFF00; text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #F0FFFF; opacity:1; filter:alpha(opacity=100) } p.text2 { color: #F0FFFF; text-align: center; opacity:0.6; } ​ </style> <div class="background"> <div class="text"> <div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; shadow: true"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Vijaya, Georgia, serif; FONT-SIZE: 80px;">This blog is gettin'<div class="text1"> sucks!</div> </span></div> </div> <p class="text2"> © alice3ify 2012 <br/> idea © strawberriescore.blogspot.com</p> </body> </html>​​

Happy Birthday, Big brother!

I can only wish the best for you.

purely made by mouse and SAI. That is me in the picture. Not good I know. ;3;

Could you imagine yourself 15 years later?

SHINee - Sherlock

Firstly, I have to can, and I will be very willingly to make it real. My teacher who is in charged at psychology department in my school have asked us (the students and me, obviously) to listen and write what we could apprehend from hearing a soundtrack that she had prepared for us. Obviously, I have lost interest on the lesson, but the melody was very sweet and that gave me some time to think about my future.


What kind of future that I will get, actually? I promised you, that it is extraordinary for me, but it might not for you people. After all, our future are something special to each of us and none of them are going to be so obviously similar. Psychology speaking, most humans wanted the acknowledgement on the feeling in which their matters (both problems, or even wishes) are the most important, comparing to the other people, so by reading this one, you have to not complain that what I will write in here is not something ridiculous. Pinky swear? Then read more.

23/4 is coming near!

Before 23/4, there is 15/4! Meaning, my big brother is going to have his birthday soon! Hope I can get online at 15 for good gracious' sake ...

Anyway, who could have guessed that my birthday is almost here? Well, rid aside the depressing topic about final examinations. I have had enough of it in my weekend. I have to say that I am quite excited to celebrate my birthday. Means that I have enough with my very worst subject all-around the year, Bahasa Indonesia. Hopefully though, I could use my one week before the pain for practices.

Then again, after the final examinations, I shall do some marathon for this season's anime. I looked forward for Jormugand the best, actually.

Codings.

Long time no post. Well, blog, I know that you have few viewers and etc (in which I don't really care), so ... because I am so kind, I will write a post before I undergone my final examinations. Be grateful! fyi, maria is just kidding around.

So, I have been into coding before because of my friend, Vincent has taught me so many things about web designing. From HTML codes to things to CSS codes. Well, I have always been so grateful for that. So, for the start, I have started to change some codes in this blog (mainly because my perfectionist attitude who wants my homepages got 'tidy' or such ...) and it is actually pretty exciting if you could get the hang of it. 

Some time after my examinations, I will edit all of the codes here so it can be better with some hovers and shadowed fonts etc. 

Who could have guessed that Tumblr codes can be quite easier than Blogspot codes. IMO, from what I saw. Comparing many base codes and such. You could see the differences quite obviously.

Tiring Week

We all know that being students aren't as easy as being a baby. Yeah, I know that. Well, we all know that. Okay, let me stop this muttering and let's being frank from the start. This whole week is very tiring, and I really mean that.

I'm tired of being mentally drained and physically forced. Mentally drained, because the adults (much to my dismay, my teachers and my parents) are like, pressuring me (as well as other students, ikr) to do the best job for our exams. One thing to note, loves. We students will do our best in this exam even before you have said it; we want to get good scores and graduate, so .. give us some motivational boost, will ya? Please, those words are like our daily bread and it didn't help, swore.

Secondly, I know that study is my job (and the very important one, quoted from my mom) and I am supposed to not rant about national exams and final school exams. Well, daily try-outs helped out (very much) and I am thankful about that, but I don't like the idea of constant try-outs which pretty much abused my energy every day, thinking about the results and predictions, and even grades we, students are going in for the next two weeks. Dude, I don't like that idea at all, and I know this post is so random that I really want to facedesk myself in front of you. :/

Okay, that does it. What makes my stress is in the top is ... That national exam firstly outgoing in my birthday. I repeat, birthday. Which means, 23rd of April is when I do my best for exams as well as to celebrate my birthday till late night, and realizes that tomorrow I still need to study for my exams. In which, dude, it totally a paradox. D: It's not good and it's quite motivate me at the same time.

Oh yeah, April Fool doesn't help, and I am very enthusiast to celebrate my big brother's birthday at 15 April. He is going 25 this year!
