Hello Heroes and Travelers, here we are at the end of another week on Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! After two weeks off of work, I finally went back to the office… only to catch a cold. So, I wound up back home in bed. I’m feeling much better now, just a few achy muscles and the ghost of a cough, so I should be good as new by Monday. But, being sick kind of put me behind with my blogging stuff…

But on a more positive note, I had the pleasure of participating in a super special awesome, livestream with fellow Bloggers Lita Kino and Katrina Sade!! It was my first ever livestream and I had a blast ya’ll!! It was so much fun chatting with these amazing ladies and I would absolutely love to do it again *wink wink* In case you missed all of the fun here is a link to the video!!

1. Falling for an Arrogant Sniper: Dangerous Seduction- Masaharu Ryuzaki– So, I found myself playing Voltage Inc’s newest app Dangerous Relationship and the first guy on the list is the arrogant sniper, Masaharu Ryuzaki. Give the review a read to see what I thought about the big jerk.
2. Fangirl Moment: Arthur– I was feeling a bit nostalgic earlier this week, so this week’s Fangirl Friday post is about one of my all time favorite childhood shows, Arthur. Take a trip down memory lane with this short post.
3. Falling for a Cold Hacker: Dangerous Seduction- Yasumi Arimura– After my enthusiastic response to the first guy in the Dangerous Seduction, you’d have thought I’d take a break from the new Voltage app. But, when the cool emotionless hacker, Yasumi Arimura was released earlier than I expected, I found myself giving the app another shot… and thank goodness I did!
