Using CheeseMan's layout because it's completely awesome.

[QUOTE=Feuver;34488280]Using CheeseMan's layout because it's completely awesome.[/QUOTE] Now it's actually possible to get to the end of the first page using the wheel to scroll :v:

[QUOTE=Lambeth;34488233]Actual viewing.[/QUOTE] kinda odd but I guess that's to be expected

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;34488341]kinda odd but I guess that's to be expected[/QUOTE] Thanks a lot for the layout, it's amazing.

I really want that JAST deal for Steins;Gate to go through Even better if the Steam deal goes well too

OK. So, Saya no Uta. I am used to freaky shit. Like, I've been AROUND THE FUCKING TOWN of freaky shit. And for no reason, Saya no Uta has single handedly got me whimpering like a bitch.

Does Heavy Rain count as a visual novel?

[QUOTE=Lambeth;34489237]Does Heavy Rain count as a visual novel?[/QUOTE] No, because it has actual gameplay elements, like quicktimes and such.

I mean since it doesn't have any reading I guess it would be an interactive movie really? still feels visual novelish

[QUOTE=Jund;34488810]I really want that JAST deal for Steins;Gate to go through Even better if the Steam deal goes well too[/QUOTE] Steins;Gate should be up there, now that it's got an English translation.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;34489253]I mean since it doesn't have any reading I guess it would be an interactive movie really? still feels visual novelish[/QUOTE] I think it comes pretty close but the presentation and style seem somewhat different from traditional VN.

You guys should check out Cross Channel for great stuff like this: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/G7mI1.png[/IMG]

Will be posting my first impressions of [I]My girlfriend is the President[/I] either tomorrow or the day after. [editline]31st January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Feuver;34487875]Added an image for Higurashi since the other didn't work.[/QUOTE] Never hotlink images. Always re-host them.

Guys if you like 999 I recommend you the Ever 17, the same makers and it's sci-fi [img]http://i.imgur.com/AeLRF.jpg[/img]

So I've been playing some Kira Kira recently. It's pretty damn good, the soundtrack's amazing, the characters are interesting, etc, etc. But man. Murakami is pretty selfish. [img]http://i.imgur.com/vgBX2.png[/img] Leave some for the rest of us, man.

Started to play G-Senjou no Maou. Just finished chapter one and it's pretty good so far. It kind of reminds me of Death Note in a way. Regardless, onto chapter twooo

Tsukihime is pretty good. First VN I read through, did all arcs too. The Far Side of the Moon arcs are pretty awesome, you can skip the others without missing anything. Been sitting on the idea of playing through Fate/Stay for a while now. Just don't have the motivation. :v:

Add this to Umineko [url]http://witch-hunt.com/stage0.html[/url] Contains all of episode one that was released as a demo for Umineko. [editline]1st February 2012[/editline] Also engage major Episode 8 feels [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFyzTtKNzYI&list=LLKoBP5u3JPXa4qT1uV6p-1w&index=1&feature=plpp_video[/media]

I gotta say, I like this little music thingy a lot, even though it's not really from Umineko (if anything it's a bastard child of Umineko and one of Higurashi's songs) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BLsI5eVfQY&feature=related[/media] I mean yeah it's only a musicbox version of another song but it's kind of endearing in a way. Maybe because the song has some meaning after I watched Higurashi no naku koro ni Kai.

You know I never really thought of Phoenix Wright as a VN till now and I always thought I didn't enjoy the genre looks likes its time for me to pick up a few games.

Well, I'll be checking out Saya no Uta after I finish the last arc on KS, even though I'm not quite sure if I want to.

Ah god damn why is chapter two so long. (I'm reading that G-String one) Thoughts on the underlying plot so far: (obviously spoils everywhere) [sp]Judging from one of the earliest possible moments I can remember in the story, that green-haired kid (i suck at names) had a conversation with Azai that touched no the topic of "Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde" a little. Further into the story (however far I may be), headaches appear to be a common plotpoint throughout. So far i've only come to two conclusions: 1. Azai is Maou, but obviously only subconciously, and possibly brought about from his deep suppressed emotional issues as touched upon by his therapist. Although, this seems like such an obvious answer, as if the writers are almost daring you to take this method of thinking in order to lead you on. 2. Azai has a long lost brother, who is Maou.[/sp] I'm not really certain, and i'm more trying to figure out what the writer was thinking when writing the story, rather than about the actual characters at the moment. Although in order to do that I need to actually think about every little detail of the story, so I guess I am paying attention to the characters. lmao i don't know; i'm just reading along. I just remembered why I stopped reading books. Once I pick up one that interests me in the slightest I won't stop until i'm finished or pass out. :v: edit: finally finished the chapter. haha

Isn't Saya No Uta, full of [sp]fetuses for doorknobs[/sp] Or something like that.

I am going to read clannad, I am a emotion masochist.

Finished reading Umineko Chiru (eps 4-8) earlier today. It was fantastic.
