Get your free copy of Broken Sword!



This isn't J-related, it's just something that brings back a lot of fond memories. GOG.com is giving out free copies of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars to celebrate 6 million downloads. The offer only lasts till October 1 7:59 a.m. EDT (11:59 a.m. GMT), so get it quick.

Broken Sword is a point-and-click adventure, and I grew up playing many, many of them and the older text-input adventure games. King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, Quest For Glory, Maniac Mansion, Leisure Suit Larry, Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Gabriel Knight, Sam & Max. Games tinged with nostalgia. Brings a smile just thinking of them 'back-in-the-days' era but gives me a touch of the sads too :)

Ohisama⑲
22nd September 2011 10:48

Continuing from Shigeki Yoko, 'Kazu & Yoko' went on air!!
Yoko said,"Please make me look sexy...(*laugh*)" and the make-up artiste drew her a mole! (*laugh*)

Kazu-san was very shy at first but as the performance went on, he got into it. The two of them were so cute ♪

There are only a few episodes left of 'Ohisama' but make sure you catch it till the end!!
Why, because there will be some wonderful co-stars!
I'll let all of you know about it next week, so look forward to it ♪♪

Shigeki Yoko

Mao and Kengo look so good together :)

I love coffee, but nothing can top a daily fix of teh tarik (。・ˇ_ˇ・。) For those of you who don't know about this magic elixir, it's like a more concentrated version of royal milk tea.
