Re: The future of VN's

Well, I think it will be more like thousands of years before all this new technology that emerged in the last 100 years, and the new technologies that will follow get settled. And technology will go forward but also backwards at times. I mean, 2000 years ago the Romans had roads, sewers, running wa...

Re: The future of VN's

First things First, if you guys are interested in the subject consider reading Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku and The Age of Spiritual Machines by Ray Kurzweil, both books are about the near future, a nice read if you are into Trans-humanism or Science. I can't speak for Michio Kaku's works, ...

"...the shy girl needs to be treated like a timid doormouse... He obviously either hasn't played Hanako's route, or he missed the point of the route completely. Why is he commenting on her route at all then? I haven't played Rin's route yet so I can't say how accurate his description of her ro...

Re: Misha's disabillity?

I don't think Misha has any physical disability that she needs to be at Yamaku to accomodate. She may have a mental or social disability, though based on what we know about her she might just be easily excitable.

Re: The future of VN's

That sounds like it could allow for some amazing developments. Currently visual novels work almost exclusively like KS: You make choices that set a general mood and the writers tell you how that mood influences that characters and the story. What if you could carry on the conversation continuously? ...

Shizune vs Misha

In a battle to the death.
The setting is the classroom. Everyone has cleared out and everything that wouldn't normally be left there overnight has been removed.
The girls are free to use anything in the classroom as a weapon, but otherwise fight with only their bodies and wits.
Your predictions?

Re: Is it just me, or is Hanako better off...

I think in Lilly's route Hisao dividing Lilly's attention forces Hanako to be more independent and that leads to her gradually weaning off of being protected by Lilly. But if Lilly was a "cage" for Hanako that made her feel safe but robbed her of dependence on anyone but Lilly, Hisao in Ha...

Re: Am I Heartless ??

You're not heartless, you just don't take video games seriously, thus you have a life. He has a life because this particular story didn't move him to tears? I really don't think that's a reasonable conclusion. Not to say he doesn't have a life; I think you can't reasonably conclude one way or the o...

Re: family guy episode

Who suggested that Family Guy should be censored? Complaining about a show being crude and insensitive isn't the same thing as saying it should not be allowed to air. The fact is Family Guy is crude and meant to appeal to the lowest common denominator, and it's jokes can be considered to go over the...

Re: Love Confessions

The videos are too similar for me to not suspect they're all done by the same person as a joke. Even the names of the uploaders are close to each other. That said, I don't doubt that there are people who think this way. I'm just waiting for a "marriage" in the vein of that one Love Plus ma...

Re: The Hanako Thread - Spoilers, obviously

So I really liked how Hanako's route was handled. Give Hisao a white knight complex like many of the players that would actively pursue Hanako, then show the kind of unhealthy relationship that develops from having that sort of attitude -- brilliant. In this and Emi's route Hisao is depicted as hav...

I agree I have also seen my tea consumption increase. Unfortunately so far it's only been tea bags from the quad cafeteria.
