Random Classics: Let's terrorize this artificial Japanese Home as a mosquito

2013-05-24T01:57:00.000-04:00

Here's a new feature I'd like to try out where I get a random game from yesteryear and record my first time playing it. It doesn't necessarily have any rules. It could be a random game I just picked up based on it's cover or it could be a game I remembered from my childhood that I never got a chance to play to much of.

For the first game I've decided to go with Mister Mosquito. It's a fairly unique game where you suck the blood of this poor unfortunate Japanese home. It was a game I remembered playing years ago on a Playstation 2 demo disc and It turned up in a store for cheap so I figured what's the worst that could happen. I didn't remember the controls or plot of the story, pretty much nothing at all other than the basic facts that you are a mosquito collection blood. I'm hoping to complete this game later down the road in another play through but for now, enjoy.

Site Update

2013-05-20T01:38:00.001-04:00

As you may have noticed there is a new format going on with the site.
I'm trying to make it a bit more friendly with its bright inviting colors. However I'm still in the process of getting back in the groove of updating again which I haven't done since a tad before the Wii U Launch. There's been a big number of changes in my life as of recent and overall I've just been busy but it's all going to get organized real soon!

In the meantime I suggest you check out my youtube which still manages to get updated frequently at www.youtube.com/Kolma

Another site I would like to suggest is from a good friend of mine at http://games.mattmagician.com/
He's been updating his adventures in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and I have a hunch you just might be interested.

Wii U’s Home Menu

2012-11-08T03:58:00.001-05:00

We’ve all seen the MiiVerse.. sorry the WaraWara Plaza

But what about what’s on the GamePad, and the Wii U Menu where you select your games and apps?
Wonder no more!

Looks just like the 3DS doesn’t it?
From this screenshot I gather a couple of things.
The 2 screens may be swapped with one another (button on corner or the X button it seems)

Wii U menu icons
Disc, Mii Plaza, Settings,Wii U Chat, Wii Mode
Statistics, Parental Controls, Health & Safety Information

Dock
WaraWara Plaza, eShop, Internet Browser, TVii, Notifications

Seeing as there is a WaraWara Plaza icon it seems that this will work just like on 3DS, in the way that pressing the Home Button while within a game or app will bring up this menu.
Here’s hoping these icons can be zoomed in and out like the 3DS Menu.

Virtue’s Last Reward and Sexual Innuendos

2012-11-01T23:53:00.001-04:00

If you played 9 Hours 9 Person 9 Doors you might have triggered a certain conversation between Junpei and June just before they got on an elevator together and hitting the right option will make Junpei TOTALLY misunderstand June in a hilarious way.

Well if you enjoyed that you’re in luck cause Virtue’s Last Reward has it to, and is much less innocent about it.
Here is one such example of it when you get to the Archives with Clover and Luna

I removed all the puzzle solutions and Story related dialogue so spoilers are at a minimum.

Enjoy!

Here is an example of what can be expected when Memory Link is used to connected Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version to Pokémon Black Version 2 or Pokémon White Version 2.

Pokemon Black and White 2 Memory Link

2012-10-07T17:49:00.001-04:00

This will also carry over items such as your prop case, and Dream World creations from Loblolly.
It will allow you to battle a stronger Bianca and Cheren depending on starter picked in Black and White.
Finally it will allow you to catch N's Pokemon

Disney Rips off of Anamanaguchi

2012-09-17T20:53:00.001-04:00

Take a Listen to this song

Catchy ain’t it? Apparently Disney thought so too when they decided to completely rip it without permission from Anamanacuchi (known for their chiptune music and providing the entire soundtrack for Scott Pilgrim VS The World: The Video Game).
They have made all comments require approval and have removed any that make mention of Anamanagutchi.

Here’s what Disney used it on
