MJ *may* have been the King of Pop, but everyone knows the ladies wanted to take Prince home for the night. Hopefully it's an eternal 1999 Party where he is now.

Well, it depends on your taste. I'd say if you like upbeat, lively, girls singing to their hearts content--Love Live songs are awesome! There are also some that have heavy metal added to the mix, or some like dance club music. I should know, I've been a hardcore Love Liver ever since they aired...plus, many man-tears were shed during the Final Love Live and anime....even today when people make feels pics of School Idol. Some would argue that IdolMaster is better, but it all depends on your taste. Listen to a couple of songs in YouTube, especially the most famous one's like Snow Halation and Sunny Day Song(best 2 out of all in my opinion), but there are tons of amazing ones out there as well!
 
And here, http://hikarinoakariost.info/ I think they have all, if not, almost all, the Muse's albums there. When a link doesn't work, just refresh it or come back after a few hours or a day. I hope you'll enjoy the songs by Muse! I know I did. Still not sure about the Aquors though...
 
P.S. Try using SoundCloud instead of Spotify. I believe Spotify was catered for the Western needs, not so much for Asian music, especially if they're not that famous like those K-Pop bands or some very famous Japanese artists.

Otome is generally a term used to describe a game aimed at girl gamers and what they supposedly like. In general, if you look up otome games you'll find a bunch of trash romance games associated with it, because apparently, girls only like romance games, and don't want to play games where they kill things and do other super cool things only boys can do.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED 
Wait, that is a tough challenge... uhm... I'm gonna go with the old standby of Katawa Shoujo and just keep guessing from there. 
Oh, and welcome. Have a random waifu.

Very, very, very few people get to do what they love as a living and actually be profitable at it.
This line sealed it for me here:
Horseshit. Making games is a job. It involves art, sure. You think the graphic artist making a pixelated vagina on his 50th nameless, similar looking girl is enjoying it? Maybe. Or maybe he's wishing he was out painting, but painting doesn't necessarily pay the bills. Selling video games does. And you think the guy coding the game is having fun, comparing himself to Rembrandt as he tries to make sure all the choices line up in the code? Maybe, but I bet he's doing it so his rent doesn't go late.
Making games takes technical skill, and the idea of changing it into a "privilege industry" is stupid. The industry exists because there's a demand for the product, and not just anyone can deliver the product. I can't make games - I could write script for games and currently am doing that - but I can't code that script, and I can't make the art that goes with it. And yes, you can burn out doing it. Because it's your FUCKING JOB. I wouldn't be surprised if the percentage of people who got into making games did it because they loved games and thought it would be fun to turn their hobby into their career who now do hobbies other than games is relatively high, because it's suddenly not fun anymore.

Confession: I think I just made @Soulless Watcher's day even worse.

Remind me never to bet on @littleshogun's predictions.
Obviously it was that eminently approachable and popular game, Sharin!
 

You and me both

Well the sun does shine on a dog's asshole every so often...

That's some @Valmore level clickbait there. 

I have a "I've been playing this game daily every single day for 200 days and I deserve some compensation, dammit" deal

This is kind of a tough thing, and to be honest, if I could go and not give a number score, I would do that. I wanted to give more of an assessment as to how the game was compared to the relative newness of the publisher and if there's merit in the product as well as potential future products from said publisher. Which is why I spent more words on it than your average FUWA review, to give it a more personal take as to what I thought was good and what could be improved, as well as compared to some other newer indie novels I've read (though not mentioned in the review). In that, I'd hope the publisher takes more of the words to heart and not the number score - I mean, if I gave the number score only based on how it plays compared to every other VN out there, I couldn't honestly give it higher than a 6 - it's clearly not as polished as other VNs you'd find on the review page, so giving it a higher number would do both Impulse! and other visual novels a disservice. But I also don't want to compare it too much against those high-ranking novels, because it's not an established publisher - it's NWG's second attempt, after all. I can't expect it to be Steins:Gate - it's one guy who likely got help from some friends for the voice acting. So I felt, in having to give it a number score, a 6 felt about right - it's a higher-end score for the scale being used as compared to what's been reviewed before under the system. If we were to break our number systems by say, one each for indie and established, I'd probably give a 7.5-8 to Impulse, higher if some of the basic technical parts were addressed in an updated release.
I mean, the only thing I really ripped was the one piece of art with the van. Everything else I found at least some merit in, even if it wasn't great overall. Which brought me to the final paragraph, which I feel is the most important of all - "Would I want to read another offering from New West Games based on reading Impulse?" And I would - I think Kieran has a good knack for story pacing, has some interesting concepts in gameplay that could be fleshed out with practice (or getting some crew) and anything I felt wasn't up to spec is completely within his power to get better at, and I'd like to see that effort. If he were to use any part of my reviews to sell people on his game, I'd say it would be better to use that as opposed to the 6/10.
He was serious about his next VN being about girls volleyball, by the way.  I'm looking forward to it.

New West Games has offered up its second visual novel, Impulse!, following a band making its way into the cut-throat world of the Seattle music scene. You can read the review from the link below.

And I though all vaginas looked like a bunch of pixels. 

I sure hope nobody's studying the female anatomy with VNs.

We already are since you went and drank and Amazoned yourself 80 books. May as well go whole hog and admit you pre-ordered the sequel to 50 Shades of Grey and get it over with now.
 <- chemistry!
But... but we're friends, right? Right? 
Young teacher... the subject... of schoolgirl fantasies...

The boards giveth and the boards taketh away. 
Audrey will always be with us, kicking, beating, tearing us a new one.
Love... Life... Audrey.

So yeah, this was the VN I had finished last when @solidbatmanwas looking for more reviewers. It's more polished.
Review is up!
Feel free to discuss, ask questions, pour on me. Etc.
Just remember who's watching your every move, though.
Overall, great translation of a piece that does do the best of what you typically expect from the genre.
