Couple's Kitchen
Our reviews have not started back up again. We're hoping to return to writing reviews in July of 2024. It's been a while, but life has presented many obstacles in the past couple of years and we've experienced great losses. That being said, we're still here. We've just been doing other things.
We planned in the past to redo all our older reviews, and that's still on the table. We have also received new titles since we last posted publicly, so we're going to review those as well. The schedule for all of these specific things, however, is kind of up in the air. We do have a few newer things to include now though. And if you've been missing our awkwardness and cringey wit, you're welcome to join us during one of our streams.
We will also no longer be posting negative reviews to our tumblr or blogspot, and they will remain only on our curator page. While we've always tried to be compassionate and speak with constructive criticism, we fear that even this amount of scrutiny may negatively affect those who have devoted their time and care into the games they're creating. And, after all, we are just two people. We can't speak to what everyone will enjoy. We'll only go into depth on the things we really want to encourage in the future.
Game Reviews: the 9th and 23rd of each month.
Anime Reviews: once a month, on the last Tuesday of the month (once we begin, as we want to get our game reviews started again and don't know how much extra time we'll have to devote yet).
Manga Reviews: once a month, on the first Tuesday of the month (as with the anime reviews, these likely won't begin as soon as we return).
Curator Page: reviews for our curator page will be posted as soon as we've formulated a thought about the games we're reviewing. The full reviews will fall into line with our schedule as they've been completed, with games that have been gifted to us taking priority over others.
Streaming
Streams will be on Mondays and Fridays. At this point, there is no specific time to when these will begin, but we will post over on the paptain tumblr roughly thirty minutes before the stream starts. Since we have already been streaming so many different games, there will be a cycle between the streams from month-to-month. If this system works well, then we'll continue doing it. If not, we'll slowly phase out the cycle once each game is completed.
Month A
Monday Rotation: Dark Chronicle/Dark Cloud 2 > Persona 3 Reload
Friday Rotation: Ys VIII > Inscryption
Month B
Monday Rotation: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel > NEO: The World Ends with You
Friday Rotation: Persona 4 Golden > Saturnalia
VOD Uploads
Monday: The past Monday stream will be uploaded.
Friday: The past Friday stream will be uploaded.
Saturday: Beginning in July, a YouTube exclusive playthrough will be uploaded. These videos will follow the same game to completion, unlike the rotation we have with our streams.
