LINE Play 101: Gramma Wizzy's Time Magic

LINE Play
This is part of the LINE Play 101 series of updates. Each update covers a specific section of the LINE Play app. Please read the LINE Play review for more information about this app, before reading this post.

Gramma Wizzy's time magic is a way for users to get access to limited run gachas from the past few years of LINE Play.  Players earn stardust through daily logins.  Occasionally there will be a Gramma Wizzy event that players can use that stardust in.  These events will be present in the event screen on your app.  If it is not, then there is no current Gramma Wizzy event going on and you'll have to wait.

Gramma Wizzy will give you one stamp toward a limited time item (Usually face items) for each stardust you use, so long as you purchase something from each of the gachas.  You'll need 5 stardust (One for each stamp) and several thousand gems to play the gachas.  Some gachas cost cash but so long as you only ever choose gachas from 2013, you won't need cash.

Wizzy will use one star dust and ask for a year.  Upon picking the year you will be presented with a random gacha from that year to play.  It will be playable for one hour.  If you get whatever you want from it and want it to end early so you can choose another gacha, you can do that as well.  However, you can only have access to one gacha at a time.

Once you collect all the stamps the limited stamp prizes will be sent to your mailbox for pickup, so claim them right away.

Here is an incomplete list of the gachas you can get from each year, and how much they cost to play.  If you play the Gramma Wizzy event and get a gacha not listed, let me know in the comments and I will add it!

Survey Mini

Survey Mini
     This app promises to reward its users with free money in the form of gift cards for the simple act of completing surveys. Does it work?... Well, sort of?
     Let's start with the basic parts of the app.  Once you create your account which is linked to your email you can start taking surveys... but you probably wont have any. The main start up screen which you can see to the right is where surveys will be listed when you have them.
     The app tracks where you go in order to choose the appropriate surveys.  Some users may find this off putting.  A lot of people don't like their location being tracked.  If that is an issue, don't get this app.  It wont work any other way.  Also, if you never go out this wont work for you.  I get a survey once out of every 10 or so times I leave the house.
     When you get a survey click it and fill out the questions.  These are usually 'did you find the staff friendly', 'did you by more than expected' and so on. It takes about a minute for each survey.
     At the end of the survey you will get either points or a coupon.  you will not know which of these you will get before completing the survey.  Also, it should be noted that the first question is always whether or not you visited the location (The store/cinema/restaurant/etc), even if you answer 'no' and the survey ends, you still get credit.
     The coupons or discounts that some surveys give you are useless in my experience.  They are usually things like a free popcorn at the cinema or a free appetizer at a restaurant.  To use them you need to click them while at the location, then they generate a bar-code for the cashier to scan which is supposed to give you the discount.  In my experience these have never worked.  It always just gives the cashier an error and wastes everyone's time.
     To look at the coupons you have you can click the 'Wallet' button at the bottom of your screen.  Each item has an expiry date, not that it matters since they never seem to work.  Stick to the 'Redeem Points' option instead.
     The best thing to get at the end of a survey are the points.  You usually get 100 points at the end of a survey.  Some surveys will give you 200 points.  These points accumulate and you can spend them on gift cards.  I know this works because I've done it successfully.
     The gift card list changes a lot so what is or is not available changes a lot.  When I turned in my points I got a Burger King 10 USD gift card even though I would never eat there.  I gave it to someone as a gift.  They used it and it worked!
     The gift cards do get mailed to your home physically.  I was expecting a digital code but apparently that isn't an option (Or at least wasn't when I did it).
     I would highly recommend not spending points on the 'offers' category at the top (Which costs 4,000 points).  These are the same offers you get from finishing surveys and are a complete waste of points.  The 10 and 25 USD gift cards are where you want to spend your points.  Though it may take a great deal of time to gain this many points.  It took me a year to get enough for the 10 USD gift card.
     The only other part of this app is the button on the top left.  It shows you your account email, how many surveys you have completed, your current amount of points, location settings, privacy policy and support.
     I have tried contacting support on several occasions and they don't seem to have any ability to assist the users.  I don't even think customer support even knows this app exists because they had no idea what I was talking about when I said I was using the Survey Mini app.
     I suppose it must be said that this is a free app and you can earn real money by using it.  However, I'm not sure the payoff is entirely worth the hassle.  Paired with the fact that the 'offers' don't work and the customer support system is useless... I can't really rate the app highly.  It works, but not very well.

Backstage Pass: Blogger Ending Guide

Backstage Pass
Backstage Pass is not an iPhone app, so it may seem a bit out of place but after a long hiatus I thought I'd post something new! Backstage Pass is a dating simulation game following a shy makeup artist from Hawaii who is prone to panic attacks and far away from home. However, this is not a game review... This is a guide for the hardest ending to obtain in the game.

The Blogger ending is the pickiest of all endings in the game. After obtaining every other ending I really struggled with this one and found most guides to be a bit vague and following them never seemed to result in a win for me. So I played through, trying my own different odd techniques and writing down every single choice I made. Viola! A success! Now that I know a step by step process to guarantee a Blogger ending, I am going to share it with you.  Following this will absolutely result in the Blogger ending, even if some of the choices seem counter intuitive.

I will start this guide with the first choice the user can make, and work onward from there. This does not count the option of watching or skipping the intro because that is up to you.

This is where it ends.  If the screen goes black, you know you have it. The final CG can be seen on the right.

I hope this was helpful to those trying to get this ending.  I realise it could be improved on for the most efficiency but what is important is it gets you the Blogger Ending.
