Having played it (it was one of the few games I bought for my sister, so I played it with her) it's a below-average point-and-click adventure featuring the CSI actors phoning in their voice acting, and product placements from Visa, even tying it into the plot. Sis loved it. But seriously, you're not missing much...except for the +1.

I'm surprised they haven't patched it yet, seems a lot of people don't like it. I've only loaded the game twice but it is odd how it does a cutscene every time.

Finished Tits, best JRPG ever, now to wait for SC ;_;
I kinda want a g-sync monitor. I hope those things become affordable this fall.

Cheer up, at least you're not waiting since the PSP release.
I already feel like I throw out my whole budget next month at the first day.Easy solution: Get an SSD. ¯\_(ツ_/¯
Akiba's Trip, Re;Birth 2, Grisaia, new SSD, Witcher Guide Book, external BD-player feeling so poor >_<
(When I am actually rich enough to afford all this shit in the first place)

Come on, Ningen, it's a B-tier RPG with great writing.
Saying it's better than FF12 or DQ8 or SMT3 is ridiculous.
In short Nvidia said that they are working on fix.
Hey my good people! I just finished Pixel Puzzles: Japan and I decided to post a little review on Steam but will also leave it here.
As always, I'm sorry for the lack of a better English vocabulary as it's not my native language.
Link for the review on Steam:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Pixel Puzzles: Japan you need to solve a selection of 19 puzzles with different scenarios, difficulties and pictures. The concept is quite easy, you have pieces and you need to put them all together. The difference is, these pieces (who are also not your typical ones, with different shapes and sizes) are not static and they are always moving up and down and from left to right in some sort of koi pond.
There is no timer for you to solve these puzzles and there are no tricks so take your time and have a bit of relaxing time if you have been playing something story heavy or you just want to escape from the usual violence on shooting in other games.
The pictures are inspired by the Japanese culture so expect a lot of pink from the cherry bosom trees or some old statues and buildings. It took me around 12 hours to finish all these puzzles and it was a great choice to play between other games. As the levels progress so do you. You are a young disciple Monk, and as you advance in harder puzzles you will improve as well until you attain your enlightenment.
While the moving pieces was an interesting idea it may become a bit frustrating on the final puzzles. Some pieces become smaller and the number of them will increase so it means more pieces will be moving. If you want to click and drag a specific piece you saw this may prove to be harder considering there are so many moving and the mouse pointer did not feel so accurate at times. Just like when doing a normal puzzle, I always start with the surrounding frame and then move to one of the corners and keep going from there. Some puzzles can take more time than others and I struggled with one that had too many similar colors in all places which brings another flaw: there is no save or pause option. If you want to start a new level you may as well finish it, otherwise you will need to restart all over This is not an issue on most of the puzzles but if a puzzle is taking you longer than expected or you need to leave your PC, having an option to not start all over again would be a good thing to have.
In the end this was a nice little time sink. The music is simple but relaxing enough but after a couple of hours I decided to put my own playlist of Zen/Meditation music and the results were much better. I felt relaxed and the game does exactly what you should expect.

Finished Life is Strange episode three, raised the stakes again I see, it amazes me, and I do hope the later two episodes do payoff.
Nice review, yeah I enjoyed the game too as a nice relaxing time sink. The main problem with it, as you have said, is the awful click detection for the larger puzzles. The reason it took so long to complete is because 60% of the time you spend on each puzzle is picking up incorrect pieces surrounding the correct one, even though you definitely clicked on it.
I agree. That wasn't what I had a problem with lol.
Wait... what did I miss!? Is there something wrong with my 770?

me irl when that prompt came up ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thanks for reading Ruruja!
Indeed. This is something that should either be fixed or they shouldn't bother with the moving pieces, the last puzzle was a test in this regard but I'm glad I managed to finish them.

Life is Strange is too good for modern gaming world, I'm a little afraid it would get messed up in the future somehow.
Nude mods? It's the internet, it will happen eventually.

I'm trying a dumb experiment.
Going to see how a short project I originally made for Ludum Dare 29 back in April 2014, and updated last month, will fair on Steam Greenlight, trying to release it as a free game on Steam and if it gets greenlit, updating the game with new content before release. I released the game last month on sites like GameJolt, RPGMaker Net, and more, to which the game got better response than I could of imagined. Basic consensus was while it had a simple art style, the game game managed to be very creepy, with phenomenal voice acting and atmosphere, which made me happy (on account that I voiced it and made it, so shhh).
Close Your Eyes: Redux experimentation to see how it goes on Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=447634612
And some response to the game I got:
There was more, but decided to see how it fairs (though not expecting it to actually go through), but if it does go through to expand it and just release it. Though it having a simple art style I think may hurt its chances. XD;
I wasn't going to try to push for Greenlight anything until I was done with my much larger project that I've been slowly working on over-time, but since this small project was received much better than I anticipated, I guess I'll see how it goes.

So what's the gameplay like? Is it a point-and-click adventure? RPG elements? Or just a walking simulator?

Not point and click, but think of it as an exploration/puzzle based adventure game. In the game, you break free from death row and enter into a surrealistic subway, and progress as various puzzles, obstacles, and events block your progression. And without saying too much, there's also moments where your murderer persona leaks through and you have to stalk and kill people, represented by little doodle-like drawings as I made the project with a super simple sprite style as my bigger project I am a super slow spriter to make it look good, so make smaller projects with simpler styles.
Every once in a while, a character I call The Host appears and questions you about your actions in a strange, kind of creepy way, acting like a gameshow host.
There's also slow gameplay elements introduced through time, but I won't say much as that'd be spoiling the game. I will mention the game has a fourth wall element.

750Ti can maintain 30fps on medium running Witcher 3, little guy still packs some power.
Now I know what to do when I go home on weekends in the future.

I guess I really should check out Life is Strange.
I'll get the whole season on sale when all episodes are out like I usually do with these episodic releases.
I dismissed the game based on the footage I watched from the first episode but I guess it turned out alright after all.

I didn't like the first episode, but it grows a lot from there.

Yeah, I'm seeing that from the increasingly positive reactions to each episode.
If you wait on the game you'll miss the fun part of speculating wtf is going on with this game with other gaffers.
Then again you won't have to feel the agony of waiting between episodes so there's that too.
man that RefleX shoot em up is hella fun, it has a cool rhythm to it with the block/reflect thing to attack/defend while still having to dodge bullets.
I also just found out there's a program that comes with the ds3 driver that you could enable to use as mouse for desktop, pretty useful.
