Wow, it's been a long time since I last did a giveaway here. Let's see if I can execute this right...

Ahem... As you know, it's Christmas. Merry Christmas. The point of me blatantly pointing that out is that it means the year is coming to a close. Basically, it's a time where I absolutely need to reflect on some of the things I did this year, both good and bad, and look forward to 2017. For now, enjoy the last video link I'll put on on these descriptions for the year.

For instance, remember how I said Princess Evangile was a great VN? If you don't, you might need to dig it up and read that cringeworthy description if you're level 4 or higher. Anyways, the rule of "You like it when you first start playing it, and then, after months of not playing the game and forgetting that it existed at one point, you play it again or watch gameplay footage of it on Youtube, and ask yourself why you liked it when you notice the game's shortcomings" applies here. In this case, I think I played more of Princess Evangile over Sakura Angels on a car ride home back in July, therefore making me like the game simply because the character art looked better there than in Sakura Angels. I play every route for dozen of hours, I finish it, then I uninstall it so I can get on with my life. And then I look back at it, and I realize that the entire time, the protagonist was the biggest Deus Ex Machina ever, and the narrative was cliched. Worst part was that I actually cared about the game. Moral of story: I should have been playing Fruit of Grisaia instead.

On another note, 2017 also marks the year where I abandon my old Xbox 360 console by selling it to my cousin and switching it out for a 500 GB PS4. If I were to say that Uncharted 4 comes bundled with the console I got, what other games would you say are PS4 essentials?

As for the game of choice for this giveaway, I'm afraid that I'm not exactly made of money, so I can't start a giveaway for, let's say, the game that ranks #1 on the Community Wishlist, which is Dishonored 2. Sorry guys, I was hoping to make that happen, but I'm forced to be a cheapskate for the time being. If you want something to blame for the misfortune, blame car payments, the cost of gas, and basic necessities like food.

Edit: Oh, by the way, no more level 0 giveaways from me from this point onwards. Those giveaways only cause me pain and suffering. Also, yes, I've had this sitting in my inventory ever since the Make War Not Love events, if anyone can remember what that was.
