Free Nerdy Media for When You Need a Pick-Me-Up

11 / 11 / 161 / 13 / 20

Free Nerdy Media for when You Need a Pick Me Up

Everyone needs a pick-me-up sometimes. Be it because you’re overworked, overstressed, or overwhelmed with current events, sometimes it’s necessary to step away from life’s obligations and read, watch, or play something to lift your spirits and remind you of the good things in life. That’s why I’ve compiled a list of anime, comics, and video games that give me the warm fuzzies to share with you today!

But the last thing I want is for you to have to hunt down an old DVD or wait for a game to arrive from Amazon when you’re feeling blue, so I’ve made every sure item on this list is available legally for free. Sit back, grab a cup of tea, and enjoy some of the best nerdy comfort media the internet has to offer!

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Review

11 / 8 / 162 / 10 / 17

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Review

While I’m not one to lament the “fall of the JRPG” as so many have done in recent years, it’s been a long time since I really sat down with one. It’s certainly easier to put 40+ hours into a game when you’re living at home and don’t have to worry about paying the bills! Especially when you might only have an hour a night to play games, it can be disheartening to dedicate a session to an RPG where the most you might accomplish is making a little headway in a dungeon. But with its colorful world and snappy gameplay, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE had me hooked right away!

October 2016 Favorites Chic Pixel

After missing a month due to a mini-break at the beginning of October, the Chic Pixel monthly favorites feature is back! For October, I’ll be including anything noteworthy from September that I didn’t get a chance to cover already, so this month should be extra packed. Plus, it was Halloween, one of my favorite holidays! It goes without saying that I got my spook on… Well, mostly through my attempts to collect the festive skins in Overwatch.

November 2016 Community Game-Along: Erotic Games

10 / 31 / 16

Erotic Game Community Game-Along

When I started running monthly community gaming events nearly 3 years ago, I wanted to make sure to choose themes that highlighted neglected or overlooked game developers or genres. Well, this month marks my first potentially controversial theme: erotic games! To be more specific, this November you’re encouraged to play games with sexual or otherwise adult content. Sorry kids, but you’ll have to sit this one out! (The contents of this post, however, are safe for work)

Oyatsubox Japanese snack subscription box September 2016 review

I’m always thrilled to receive a new OyatsuBox Japanese snack subscription box in the mail, and with their new bright red box, there’s no way I’ll miss it! It may be the end of October, but today I’m going to be covering their September box, which came packed full of great snacks and candy, and one very interesting drink. Check out my unboxing video to see my reactions as I open it up!

Tasting Bag of Bones Halloween Yogurt Cheetos

10 / 21 / 16

I always say that I’ll try any food once, so that’s exactly the mindset I had when I jumped at the chance to purchase Halloween yogurt-flavored Cheetos from Japan. When I hear “yogurt Cheetos” I definitely don’t think “yeah that’s something I really want to eat!” but my curiosity always gets the better of me… I just have to try it! Which is exactly what I did in this year’s Halloween Apricotsushi Samples episode. Give it a watch to see what I thought!

I didn’t even realize the bag was glow-in-the-dark when I ordered them, but it was such a cool touch! Too bad my camera couldn’t actually pick it up for the video, but it really did glow! As you can see from the tasting I was not exactly thrilled with these Cheetos, and if I had to choose would definitely go for another bag of the banana Cheetos over these yogurt ones.

Do you think they’ll do a Christmas Cheetos flavor? If they did, what would it be? Between these and the Mountain Dew Cheetos they did a while back, it seems like any flavor of Cheetos is possible… Let me know if you’d be willing to give yogurt Cheetos a shot in the comments! (you can purchase a bag from Candysan if you’re feeling brave!)

How cute is this Keroppi water bottle?! 🐸 You'r How cute is this Keroppi water bottle?! 🐸 You're meant to color on it with markers but I love the black and white look so I'm keeping it as is. Thank you so much for sending it and the Sanrio puzzle to me, @cozynamie! It came at a really tough time when I was going through separating with my husband of 12 years and it really lifted my spirits. I'm really grateful for all of the wonderful people I've met here on IG and am happy to have energy/motivation to post more again 💕
