My whole life I’ve been avoiding MMOs. Not because they’re bad, but being the addiction-prone gamer I am, I figured getting involved in one would be the end of my real world life as I know it. Goodbye sunlight, goodbye relationships, goodbye job and social life. I’ve spent so long listening to people talk about [ Read More ]

When I first heard about Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale, I was instantly intrigued. A cute JRPG where you get to run a shop?! Sounds fun! I was, however, not willing to buy it until Steam had it on sale for $6.80, and then it was impossible to resist. I squirmed impatiently in my chair [ Read More ]
