So I'll be babbling about the Valentine's Issue of B's Log (but it says April? *shrug* Why is the April magazine coming out in Feb? I never get the way magazines do this, you know).

Ooh! They announced new chara for Duel Love! Twins (Tetsuya and Atsuya Nikaidou) *heart* and a glasses character with a long briad (Sita Anekouji) :) *moe* Nice! I like! I can't wait until this game comes out, but I preordered it with Ijiwaru My Master, so I won't get it until the beginning of April (unless there are bugs in Ijiwaru *crosses fingers*).

Aside: Speaking of bugs. In the 3 plays I've done of TMGS, it's frozen like twice. And then there's the bug where you raise your beauty stats and Christopher Weatherfield (a.k.a Kuu-chan) tells you "There's something different about you! I think it's your sense of fashion"...uh, but it's *beauty* that got raised, not fashion...and then when you raise your fashion stats perfectly for the week he says "Oh, you're shining [with beauty]." Sparkle, sparkle! It's a bit buggy...but I forgibe Konami because they developed a whole new compression algorithm just to make TMGS 2nd Season full voice. I'm grateful! *kiss kiss*

Argh! They showed the touch points for the guys in TMGS 2nd Season! And I looked! Ahh! Crazy spoilerage! But it's nice to see what kind of swim shorts they're actually wearing. You can't see it in the DS version. Heheh. No one is in speedos...but you'd think that Hikami would...what with his pink? lavender? swim cap and all :P Why did you do that Konami?! We're supposed to *dreamy sigh* over the characters, not go, "Uh, I'd never date *him* He's such a dork..." I guess you never get to see Waka-chan at the beach or the pool *pout*

There's a new Yuu Higuri game *heart* but it's cell phone based! Argh!! So I won't talk about those 12 Assasins anymore. There's lots of cell phone games in this issue *cries*

OMG! The club DJ in Last Escort 2 is *squee* Gorgerous *haha*! My copy came but I'm still playing TMGS 2nd Season! Where do people find time to play all these games anyway?! The art looks so much better in this one! The CG shots they show in this one are really romantic looking *heart*

Hiiro no Shzuku for DS looks really good. They have a sushi mini-game *squee* Too cute! I love the chibis *heart* The new Fushigi Yuugi game looks meh. There's Koryaku for Clover no Kuni no Alice. Hey, the guys appear in yukata in Petit Four *drool* Hmm...Princess Nightmare for PS2...will I play my PC version before that one comes out -_-; Koryaku for Your Memories Off Girl's Syle...meh...but Kuuta looks nice *heart* Info Ijiwaru My Master (but I'm not going to look, not going to look! I haven't even played the trail version because it'll make it harder to wait for the game to come out! One more month!). The twin cat boys in Senz's Daylight are covered in blood...this game looks so good. It's otome, though. It's "general audience" so...but it looks way cool. The art for Spray's Steal is looking really good :) Kouryaku for Maid Hajimemashta.

Hmm...this issue wasn't too exciting, imho. I don't really know why. Maybe there's nothing really new in it that's earth shattering news? I wanted more information about the new one Mirai is working on, but they didn't have any info. Their website blog doesn't either *kusun* I'll have to wait for my issue of Sweet Princess to arrive so I can find out more, then (but that is something I ordered sea mail in Jan, so...ToT Yeah, when I say I spend all my allowance on games, I *really* mean it.).

I guess I'll add what games this issue covers later on... and then add those in the tags for this entry, too...

And I got Kuu-chan's 1st Confession *heart* *squee* Now I'm playing for his second confession and I'm being a bit cocky this time. I'm going to try to get Hari's After-You-Turn-Down-One-Guy confession at the same time! Maybe these aren't the best two to go for at the same time, but I noticed that while going for Kuu-chan, Hari appears alot, so I think their tokimeki stats are similar. Hari wears a lot of red and black in the game, so I'm guessing his favorite color is red...I hope I'm right. I saw another cameo!

Edit: Oh, and I didn't know this before (because I never read manuals) but in the Daisekkin mode (a.k.a. Supper Doki Doki mode), if you match your stylus movements to the movements of the heart (touch, slide, scribble) then you get higher points and the guy goes doki doki faster (it saves a *lot* of time). This was in the mini Habataki Watcher that came in the Complete SP Edition of TMGS 2nd Season.

Oh, and I was reading another magazine that says you can do even *more* to guys in Duel Love! This has got to the otome game of the year! You can even put band-aids on their owies!!! Antibiotics and cold compresses and stuff, too! Now the question is really, what *can'* you do to the guys in Duel Love?! Oh, it's got a Cero rating now. It's C...which is ages 15 and up. TMGS 2nd Season is 12and up (Cero B) to give you an idea of things. The first Last Escort was Cero D (17plus, rare). Last Escort 2 is Cero C.

[spoiler] Oh, and did I say that Kuu-chan's favorite color is green? I haven't found out what accessory he likes yet. He likes sporty clothes. It looks like Hari does, too. If you go to the mountains in autumn...you see Sakuya-chan hiking *hearts* I already mentioned Himuro at the aquarium, right? Did you know that Hikami and Himuro are cousins?! Kind of cool. Oh, and there's a scene where Kuu-chan defends you from a nanpa o (pick up artist) and then he tells you he wishes the nanpa o had more nerve because then he could have hugged you longer, plus something was "touching" ...what?!
