Announcing the winners of the 2nd Annual Holiday Giveaway!

1 / 8 / 134 / 18 / 15

I hope you all can forgive the horrible delay in my posting the winners of Chic Pixel’s 2nd Annual Holiday Giveaway, but better late than never, right? Let me tell you, jet lag is a killer!

Well, without further ado, here are the winners as determined by the powers of Random.org:

Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary:
#9 – The Gay Gamer!

Manga: An Anthology of Global and Cultural Perspectives:
#2 – JRPG Club!

Thanks so much to everyone who entered, and congratulations to the winners! There were 14 entries for Puyo Puyo!! versus a mere 6 for Manga. I wish I could afford to give everyone a prize, but alas, that’s all I have for this particular giveaway. As a shameless plug, I will actually be giving out a few more odds and ends on my Twitter account over the next couple of days, so if you’re not following me already (@apricotsushi), please consider doing so!

Chic Pixel’s 2nd Annual Holiday Giveaway

12 / 13 / 124 / 18 / 15

In honor of the holiday season, I have some exciting news! I have not one, but two awesome prizes to give away to my readers! All you have to do is comment on this post and let me know which prize you’d like to go in the drawing for:

1) A copy of Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary 
This is a Japanese game, so all text is in Japanese, but it should be relatively straightforward if you’re familiar with Puyo Puyo or don’t mind fumbling around until you get the hang of things. Remember, it’s playable on all DS and 3DS models regardless of region (3DS is only region-locked for 3DS games). I absolutely love the Puyo Puyo games and this one is chock-full of content! (not to mention it’s drop-dead adorable)

2) A copy of Manga: An Anthology of Global and Cultural Perspectives
This is a great book for anyone interested in manga from a more academic perspective. Essays cover a wide range of subjects from Osamu Tezuka to Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, but my personal favorite is a piece titled “The ‘Beautiful Boy’ in Japanese Girl’s Manga” by the wonderful Mark McLelland. Please be considerate of others who may wish to use this resource for academic purposes when choosing this option!

The giveaway will be open until January 4th at 9 pm EST, which may sound like a long time, but I’ll be away on vacation until then and won’t be able to send out the prizes any sooner. Sorry!

For an additional entry, tweet about the contest and leave a comment here with a link to your tweet so I know you’ve done so! Participation is open to anyone in the world.

Best of luck to everyone who enters!

Contest Winners Announced + Birthday Bash?

12 / 13 / 114 / 18 / 15

Thanks to everyone who entered the holiday contest! With the help of random.org, I have selected our winners!

First up, we have the winner of Crimson Spell volume 1… Bryan Ochalla! Congrats!

Second, the winner of the Arc Rise Fantasia/El Shaddai pack… ftkubota! Yay!

I’ll be contacting you both via email shortly, so keep an eye out for that. Thanks again to everyone else who entered… I’m sorry you couldn’t all win something!

Fossil Fighters!

In other news, today is my birthday! I got my Wii! Fossil Fighters for the DS! It’s a very game-y birthday indeed, just how I like it. Too bad I don’t have any time to play any of these games, what with all the moving we’re doing. We’ll be moving into a big new 2 bedroom apartment this weekend, so there’s a lot of cleaning and organizing to be done… But I won’t bore you with the details. I’ll be back to my regular posting schedule in a few days!

Chic Pixel Holiday Giveaway!

12 / 5 / 114 / 18 / 15

For a bit of a festive treat, I’d like to take the opportunity to thank both the regular frequenters of Chic Pixel and any newcomers for taking the time to read what I have to say by offering a little giveaway contest. I really appreciate any and all comments and just knowing a handful of you read all the way through my posts makes it worthwhile. 

So what am I giving away, you ask?
Since Chic Pixel really is all about my favorite hobbies (namely BL manga and all sorts of popular and lesser-known video games), I thought I’d do things a little differently by offering not one, but two prizes: 
First up is a copy of volume 1 of Crimson Spell, a BL manga by Ayano Yamane! (contains graphic sex, entrants must be over 18)
The second prize pack is for all the Japanese game enthusiasts out there: choose this option and you’ll get a rare Arc Rise Fantasia pin set and an El Shaddai goodie pack, which includes a pin, illustration card, and a sticker! These were scored by my amazingly cool mom at E3 2010 and 2011, and I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to find them for sale anywhere else.
Entry terms: 
  • Leave a comment on this entry stating which prize pack you’d most like to win (entrants are only eligible to win one or the other). Remember to leave a way for me to contact you!
  • For an additional entry, promote this contest and/or my blog via Twitter, Facebook, or however you’d like! Just leave a comment every time you tweet/post about it so I can keep track of your entries! (maximum of 5 additional entries)
  • Contest is open to anyone in the world and closes promptly on Friday, December 9th at 9 pm EST 
Good luck!

It’s time to get in the Halloween mood! 👻👻 It’s time to get in the Halloween mood! 👻👻 I played my first spooky game for the month, the point and click adventure My Dear Frankenstein (pictured at the top). If you like dark gothic vibes, I def recommend this game. Full review on Chic-Pixel.com! I’m thinking of playing Yomawari next… are you playing any spooky games this month?
Hisui Zorua! 💜 They are coming out with so many Hisui Zorua! 💜 They are coming out with so many cool new Pokémon designs for Legends wow 😍😍 I’m still on the fence about the game itself, but this Zorua is def a new fav! This piece was inspired by @citrinenote’s adorable style, and I tried a few new things like multicolor lineart
How about that Nintendo Direct?? So many good anno How about that Nintendo Direct?? So many good announcements! 😍😍 I am obviously most excited for Monster Hunter Rise DLC but new Kirby is also super exciting! And the Splatoon 3 and Bayonetta 3 trailers were so great 🙌 What was your favorite thing from the Direct?
Just finished the Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Just finished the Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars demo! Did anyone else play it? The character designs are done by Kimihiko Fujisaka, who also worked on Drakengard, Nier Replicant, and The Last Story! I still need to play The Last Story… 😅 I can’t decide if I’ll pick up Voice of Cards on release but it’s a pretty interesting premise! Worth trying the demo if you like card-style games and D&D sessions 🐉
I finally finished all routes in Olympia Soiree! Y I finally finished all routes in Olympia Soiree! You can read my full spoiler-free review at Chic-Pixel.com 💖 my surprise favs were Akaza and Riku! I particularly love Olympia’s obsession with trying Akaza’s smoked meats 😂😂 Tokisada’s route was also really interesting to me, and he’s such a cutie! (Not my fav as a love interest tho haha…) has anyone else finished this? If so, who’s your fav?
