A Light In the Dark Side of Happy Happy Nippon

Weeaboos, my anger, Makes me red like rising sun, Kawaii-etly, I perish. I have a love-hate relationship with Japanese culture. On one hand, Persona 4 and the Metal Gear Solid series are my all-time favorite titles, and I've only ever owned one non-Nintendo console in my life. I've watched more Anime... read more

There was another one called Rytmik that is... read more

It's easy to get the hang of, and while you can speed your way through the platformer's early levels, the game picks up in difficulty near the middle stages. You also have the ability to play the... read more
