I just platinumed my copy of Steins;Gate on PS3 and since I had real trouble working out how to get the 100% CG trophy I thought I'd make a note here. I have this YouTube vid to thank for it.

Go to the Stardust Sky chapter, the one that leads to the Mayuri ending where you haven't got any of the true ending flags. Once you've shifted back to the Alpha wordline, you'll get a new email with the last CG. I'm assuming this only works after you've collected all the other CGs and completely licked the game otherwise, though I don't know. Anyway, 100% CG for you.

Zero Escape
I finished Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors last night. Technically this morning at about 1.30 a.m. due to the mysterious phenomena that means you only ever finish a game when it's past midnight.
It's the first title in the Zero Escape trilogy. I'd already finished the second game, Virtue's Last Reward, back in 2014.
I did 'em out of order because 999, originally a DS game, didn't get a UK release until a cut-down iPad port quite recently. I imported 999 - unusual for me, I don't tend to bother importing stuff - because I loved VLR that damn much. If you've played the games, you'll know that playing them out of order actually kind of makes a weird sense, given that several of the series' characters like to play merry hell with causality.
My point here is that if you haven't encountered the Zero Escape series, you really should.
Imagine Saw meets The Crystal Maze, to start with, then layer in a whole bunch of scientific and philosophical hypotheses, most of which I hadn't come across before and a pleasingly daft sense of humour. They're intriguingly plotted, satisfying to work through (999 climaxes with a giant sudoku grid to solve - while I've previously understood sudoku puzzles in the abstract, I've never actually sat down and done one by myself before. 999 was the first time I ever did one under my own steam) and filled with meaty concepts to chew on.
The on-off-on-again final instalment, Zero Time Dilemma, is out this year. Well, this year in Japan and the U.S., at least. Europe has the good ol' ominously vague "TBD". Still, I'll wait. It'll be worth it.

Yep
Well, I was right about Akame Ga Kill!. There were a grand total of four major characters left alive at the end, out of...twenty-odd? And my joint-favourite character was one of the dead ones. Although she died right near the end of the last episode doing something worthwhile and got quite a sweet death scene, so I'm less annoyed. Slightly.
