HappyBerry's Happy Birthday

Wow! I've been getting so lazy with updating my blog! So so so sorry guys! School has been super busy for me. It's only been 3 weeks and midterms are already coming next week! But let's talk about more happy things.

This past Monday, Jan 17th, I turned 22! WEEE! I had tons of fun with my lovely friends. We went shopping and I bought lots of stuff to celebrate. Among those things is a new TV! I know I bought a 22" before but I returned it and bought a 26" of the same brand and same model for the same price!!! So awesome. Good thing I bought the TV that day because it goes super well with the present that my friend brought me the next day: A PS3!!!!



And of course, being as awesome as he is, he also bought me Assassins Creed Brotherhood to go with it!



I LOVE MY FRIENDS SOOOO MUCH!! I can't wait to play with my PS3. But I will. Because the exams are right around the corner and I know if I start now I will not be able to stop playing! It will be just like that time when I got Kingdom Hearts 2 and I spend 36 hours straight without sleep to finish it. My best friend had always said I have very little self control. I totally agree with her lol. Therefore I will not play until after midterms! I look forward to finally playing the game so I can blog about it!

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale

Over winter break, Steam was having its annual Christmas sale on games. So I decided to try out this game that my friends have been asking me to get. "Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale" is a game in which you play a young girl, Recette, and run a shop to try to pay off the debt that your father left behind. You have one week to pay off a certain amount of debt, of which the amount increases more than double every week. In order to successfully run the shop, you must learn to negotiate, adventure, and take advantage of the news you hear.

After finishing the main part of this game (paying off the debt), I have to say: I am absolutely in love with this game! I have always liked playing management games like "Cake Mania" or "Sim City" and such. This game not only allows you to sell stuff, it also allows you to learn to bargain with your customers (whose price limit changes as you get on their good side), learn about each character, and fight monster to get items for your shop! I loved the game so much that I started keeping an excel sheet on my customers to keep track of sales lol.

If you like management games, I would say this is the game for you. I hope you all have fun! Capitalism, ho!

CSI: Crime City

I finished my report early last night and decided to check my facebook to see if I had any updates when I came across this new game. A little curious and bored, I decided to give the game a go. As you can probably tell from the title, you play a detective whole goes around solving cases.

Within the first 8 minutes I cracked the first case. There isn't really much detective work to do here and not many options to work with. You click floor tiles until you find a clue. Then you send it off to the lab and let the other people analyze it for you. So basically you just click the floor and watch as the story play out.



As of now I can't really tell if I'm liking this game or not since I've only played it for 8 minutes. But if you have a facebook account and is bored, why not give the game ago. Maybe you can tell me if this game is play worthy or not lol.

Ameba Pico

Moving another post from my other blog over!



I wanna share with everyone a really fun place to meet people around the world: Ameba Pico!

Let's start with a little bit of background. Ameba Pico first started in Japan under a different name- Ameba Pigg. Basically, it is a website where people can make their own characters and interact with each other.

Although Ameba Pico is an American site, there are still many players from all over world. So depending on the timezone, you can meet many foreigners. I myself love to practice my Japanese with the Japanese players. Even though my Japanese isn't that great, the Japanese players were very nice and very patient with me. My buddy list is filled with players from all over the world!

If you have free time and want to make friends online, Ameba Pico is definitely the place to be. I'm usually online around night time and you can find me under the name of Lydie. Hope to see you soon!
