Game Time: The Second Reproduction By Heterodoxy

OKAAAAAY!
As a still noob blogger I'm gonna try and make things slightly interesting by sharing my gaming experiences!

Let's start!
I recently started downloading a bunch of Visual Novels and I got extremely fond of playing The Second Reproduction created by Heterodoxy. Here's a shot of the main menu, don't worry! I won't spoil so much! I'll just put a few shots for teasers in case you guys get interested in playing the game!



What got me really interested was the CG and storyline, and that the art style resembles a little bit of Vampire Knight.

So.. There are basically Four main characters, you will be playing as Christina, the silver haired princess who also holds the title of Champion.
There are Three important men in the game, the choices you pick will lead to the man you wish for.
There's Gardis, the kind half-demon lord of Deathryde, though a demon, he is a very passionate ruler.
Lezette, the princess' loyal knight and best friend.
And!
Jin, the prime minister of Deathryde and Gardis' best friend.

People might find it a just another Visual Novel but what make it unique is that you can actually roam around the city grounds after a few specific scenes and the abundance in choice making.


"Holiday Night"
Those are the only times you can roam the city grounds, you have a limit of Four turns before your free time ends, the indications at the lower right are signs of how long you have been staying in Deathryde. In this shot, I have been around for 3 months in the First round.

If you go to the church, the priest will give you a hint on which path you are taking. It helps a lot if you're a bit of at a loss.

The game has Two rounds, but I won't tell you why.. Or else i'll be spoiling it.
I honestly suck at this stuff... *First time making a review for games*

Anyway, I am honestly more fond of the Gardis route, smexeh demon lord he is.. I am currently trying to achieve all Five endings to get a special event!
This game has a lot more choices than normal visual novels which makes it more exciting coz you have no idea what happens next~
Here's a few shots of the game, don't worry! I'll include the download links, be sure to have bitTorrent!

Queen Helaris.



Reasons to why I adore Gardis~
Such a protective lover...//dies



Jin, the prime minister of Deathryde. He kinda grew on me..


No shots of Lezette yet, I'm still working on his route. Well, maybe I have JUST ONE.
Lezette isn't quite my type to be honest.

To any of you who want the game, here's the link!

In no way did Fuwanovel ask me to make a review, I just to happened to be very amused with their site! <3

Enjoy!

Sweet Lolita

So!
So much negativity lately, I do not want to get readers through the means of complaints so lets add some sugar and sweets!

Last Sunday, my cosgroup, Kawaii Kazoku, held an event called JapFusion. I was assigned to model a sweet lolita dress owned by a newly met friend of mine, Jermaine.

Mind you, I had interests in lolita during my early months as a cosplayer but never had enough motivation to push through with wearing lolita themed clothes. I thought it wouldn't suit me because I am into portraying fierce and strong characters. Innocence was never really my thing but since I was given a chance to be a lolita for a day, why not take it?

I got pretty attached to the dress after a few hours wearing it. I also asked when I was handed the outfit
"Does it really come with the bunny?"
My fiance seems to like it as well and luckily its for sale. I do hope it lands up with me someday , though there was a slight wardrobe problem because I am a busty type... The rabbit just covers it.The blouse kept popping and it took us a while to properly cover up my chest.

Here's a few more... Just like.. 3, I never did have an abundance in photos when it comes to events. > w <

I am never doing the poofy cheeks thing ever again, it doesn't look cute.. >/////////////<
So, that's all for today I guess.. I've been working on a lot of stuff lately so I'll get back to posting more stuff again!

Wig Review : Grand Young Asuna

Hi everyone!

Today we will discuss about wigs!
YES.WIGS.

This is my very first review so go easy on me.

We are going to make a review on...
*drum roll*
Tada!
Grand Young's Asuna wig!

*Meet my favorite dakimakura, Asuna! XD*

I bought my wig from Kaleidascopic wig shop, do drop by and check them out!
https://www.facebook.com/kaleidascopicwigs

They had me pick out which brand and color I wanted so I landed up choosing Asuna's wig color from Sword Art Online. I had the option of choosing Asuna's SAO hair color, Undine hair or her fairy queen version which came in as a light brown color.

Moving on!

The Pros of Grand Young:

~ Very thick fibers
~ Doesn't shed so much
~ Perfect in terms of wig color/shade
~ Character accurate
~ So soft!
~ Fibers cover the wig cap thingy well
~ Not shiny at all
~ Looks very good on photos. VERY.

It was so much fun to wear because the wig swooshed with the wind. XD
I am very fond of wind effects.
It looks good on photos too!

The Cons of Grand Young:

~ Styled wigs have frizzy tops.
~ Easily tangles.
~ Hassle to fix. (for me)
~ The bangs were too long so I had to cut them myself
~ It was kinda... Heavy.. lol.
~ I itched with the wig on. Hahaha..

The wig's front bangs were too long so I cut them myself.
If you're gonna wear the wig in a hot area..be prepared! Coz man, you're gonna get cooked in it!
I used this wig 2-3 events in a row and it was not so fun.
The wig tangles so easily with a swish and it took me ages to fix it for the following event which was going to happen the next day.

To sum it up:

~ Will I get this wig brand again?
   - Maybe, but I will aim for short wigs.
~ Price tag? XD
   - Fairly priced at 1,500php for a long and character specific wig.
~ Do you suggest getting this brand?
   - Yes I do. But I really do hate dealing with so much tangles, though I will get it again because of its thickness, color accuracy and the rest.

That sums up our review for today!
Hope you come by next time!

Next up?
