Every Friday I make a post containing links to interesting articles I have found throughout the week. If you already follow me on Twitter, then you will have probably seen most of the following links. Don’t forget to like the Kotowari Facebook page as well. Enjoy!

• Square Enix abandoning social games to focus on, well… real games.  Could this decision be based on All The Bravest fallout?
• PETA up in arms over whaling in the new AssCreed.  Nobody tell them about what I did in Breath of Fire IV…
• Kenji Eno passed away last month.  Here’s an inspiring writeup of his life and accomplishments.
• One cat, three lives. Serious warning: this will make you cry.
• The recent Sim City debacle has led to a cripplingly low review score on Amazon.  Give them a read.  Most of them are hilarious.

• Sony’s Vita anniversary sale has begun.  Get Dokuro at a discount and Wild Arms for free!

Harvest Moon, the gritty reboot.

Domino’s Pizza is teaming up with Hatsune Miku to make everyone uncomfortable. Check out the sweet custom scooter the delivery crew gets to ride.

The first episode of Tropes Vs. Woman in Video Games explores the Damsel in Distress trope.  A great look at a theme we see FAR too much.  On a side note, I’d love to play Dinosaur Planet.
