Hi, I'm Adz! To anyone new (or any potential followers), here's what you can expect from my account.
I've liked video games from an early age, and I enjoy talking about them. I recently started a JP PS1 collection, so expect to see pics from that. I'm also thinking about other platforms... 👀

Arcania sharing some holiday cheer with Raffed, one of her close friends!
I hope everyone has a great time over the holidays, whatever you're doing! 🎄⭐🎁
(More Starlight photos to come another day, I'm sure!)

Given Christmas is coming up, I thought I'd do a game that famously has bells! 🔔
Detana!! Twinbee Yahho Deluxe Pack for the PS1; featuring two Twinbee games! This is a rereleased edition, so not the original packaging, but hey, my copy still has the stickers and spine card, so that's something!

Nice point clear POTG I had earlier. That Ana really knew when to use nano boost. I was Mauga for the first two rounds, and I had another which may have been contender for POTG with a nano boost.

As the Giant Bomb site recently changed sites, and there's currently no way of making lists, this year's Top 5 will be delivered here...right now! (It'll be on GB eventually, though)
I'll present it from 5 to 1. As always, it's games I've played this year, not necessarily released this year.

Arcania really appreciates the hot drinks available at the Starlight Stalls!
You could say she's...as pleased as punch! :3

Honestly finding it so hard to find Overwatch streamers that don't make snarky comments about teammates (whether they say it in chat or not), take out their frustration on others, or have a generally negative outlook (yet keep playing, weirdly).
I refuse to believe my positive mindset is THAT rare.

Been too long since I've posted any Arcania, so here she is wearing her Fashion Report outfit for this week. For something just thrown together quickly, I think she slays in it! 📷✨

This week's random JP PS1 game; Dark Tales From The Lost Soul!
It's a series of interactive horror stories, with some FMV sequences thrown in between (featuring a completely normal host). Another game I picked up as a curosity to play during a charity stream one day.

I had a good time with the end of season Overwatch drive. Managed to hit the third milestone yesterday, which meant I finally had enough for a Galactic weapon variant. I went with Zarya's weapon! I already got 'Gold' for Tracer AGES ago, so fancied something different.
I also hit Pro 5 in Stadium!

Alright, haven't done this for a while, but here we go!
Here's a JP PS2 game this time; Metal Slug Complete! It contains seven titles from the series. A couple of games have came out since, but this was the complete run of 'mainline' games at the time.
Metal Slug has a lot of charm!

Would people be interested if I started posting game photos, thoughts on games, and occasional drawings again?
(Yes, I know I should just post stuff anyway, but I need to know if there's any interest, as my motivation is about as low as the Mariana Trench right now.)

Updated this slightly, so I'll give it a little bump, just in case people can get something from it.
Finally got around to finishing this off. I hope this little page is useful for people playing OW. It mainly covers being mindful whenever you play.
Miiight get some updates over time.

Goodness me it's nearly the end of November, so it's time to do the Very Scary Scenario charity gaming streams once again! We're raising money for Mind this year, and a new cast of people playing games and talking for 24 hours or more depending on how much gets donated! More info vscary.co/charity

It's been a couple of months since I've posted anything. I'm still around, but I just haven't had much belief in what I have to offer. I've been taking a break to reassess what I want from this (or any) platform.
Will I return to posting regularly? I honestly don't know.

Fun fact; a very small part of Annihilation (the sequel, which isn't well-regarded 😅) was filmed at Parys Mountain - an old Welsh copper mine site. It's a local landmark where I live, so it still seems a bit unreal!
More recently, it was a filming location for an episode of Black Mirror.

I will ALWAYS defend this movie. It came out when I was 10 and the memory of going to the theater with my dad to see it is one that I treasure.
Yea, it's cheesy at times, but it's also one of THE best video game adaptations ever.
I adore this movie so much.

I completed Horizon Forbidden West a few weeks ago, and I've just finished the Burning Shores DLC. Definitely looking forward to more from the series! The world is full of intrigue, and I like the character dynamics. I had trouble with the combat at times, but it was a nice challenge.

I had some fun games as Ashe tonight! Felt like my aim was in a good place for the most part, too.

Something I still find strange; people who regularly play a game that they often have bad things to say about. If the default description of a game is 'suffering' to you (even if it is in jest), you should maybe look at your relationship with the game, or...call me crazy...play it less? 😅

Sticking with the Puyo Puyo theme, I got some of these as part of a recent imported drinks/sweets order!
They're pretty nice. If you've ever had Japanese jelly sweets before, they have that kind of taste.

This week, I've decided to show Puyo Puyo Tetris on the Playstation Vita! This was yet another 2014 Japan trip pick up.
I thought it was a fun little mashup of two great puzzle games. While it came out elsewhere (and for other platforms), only Japan got a physical release of the Vita version.

Recently added another Japanese PS1 launch title to my collection; Crime Crackers. It's an anime-style dungeon crawler about a group of bounty hunters.
Not sure if I'll ever be able to play it in any meaningful way, but I'll at least give it a shot at some point.

Arcania instantly jumped on the new moogle shirt (the form-fitting version, naturally)! Also tested out the new portrait mode, the filter intensity options, as well as some emotes that can now be used while sitting on the floor.
She's pretty pumped about it!
