[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;34653725]Oh god Ell, dem [sp]cat ears[/sp][/QUOTE] funya~

Usami is so kawaii.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;34654209]All of those things would use the house gas line, unless you're suggesting they had a barbeque in the house and a camping heater. Just sayin.[/QUOTE] An abandoned house wouldn't have a working gas line. Propane cans could be found here and there, or left in the basement. Propane is used for more than those two things, why are people overanalysing this?

Reading Cross(jebuscross)Channel, is this the Japanese version of Donnie Darko with an insane jerk as Donnie and some bicycle-riding girl as Frank?

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;34656720]Reading Cross(jebuscross)Channel, is this the Japanese version of Donnie Darko with an insane jerk as Donnie and some bicycle-riding girl as Frank?[/QUOTE] Not really, from what I can tell from IMDB/wikipedia. It seems to share some elements though, like [sp]Time travel/Time Loops[/sp], but Cross Channel focuses more on relationships and trust. Also panties

Not finished it yet, ain't looking at no spoiler tags.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;34656888]Not finished it yet, ain't looking at no spoiler tags.[/QUOTE] How far in are you?

I just finished Ever 17. Just wow. I wholeheartedly recommend everyone who like VN's to play it. The true ending is a nail biter that never seems to end, in a really good way. And it also ties everything up in a way that simply could not have been better.

[QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;34657102]How far in are you?[/QUOTE] Lil intro of credits, nonsensary in woods, met Nanaka again, went to school, got the same fucking choice as always of roof or Bitch Who Hates Me.

I'm going for Ever 17 after I finish Umineko Jesus this VN is LONNNNNNGGGGGG

Umineko and Higurashi are huge VNs and you shouldn't rush them. They have a fuckload of chapters. [editline]12th February 2012[/editline] Higurashi has 14 volumes, each of which can have anywhere from 5-20 chapters in it.

I can safely say that everyone in Cross Channel is a fucking moron of the highest caliber.

Corporal Yippie I took your advice and I'm going to give Majioki a try. Or at least the parts I can read.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;34657764]I can safely say that everyone in Cross Channel is a fucking moron of the highest caliber.[/QUOTE] Umineko is a good read but the MC is a goddamn idiot Whenever he does something stupid I feel like I'm getting hit in the head with a baseball bat

Finished Ell, starting on Irina and then finishing up with Ran.

This VN is really well put together. And the writing's top notch so far. Have some screens of silly moments. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/mah1.png[/img] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/mah2.png[/img] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/mah3.png[/img]

Also, you suck at cropping.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;34654209]All of those things would use the house gas line, unless you're suggesting they had a barbeque in the house and a camping heater. Just sayin.[/QUOTE] They don't always. In my old job we used to sell a lot of Propane canisters for houses. Usually it would be hooked up to the mains gas line, but not always.

round here almost every house uses propane tanks. You see the ubiquitous taiwanese blue trucks driving around a lot, 15 huge, unsecured propane canisters in the back ready to fall out.

[QUOTE=Jund;34657496]I'm going for Ever 17 after I finish Umineko Jesus this VN is LONNNNNNGGGGGG[/QUOTE] Ever 17? Get ready for mindfuck, good mindfuck.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;34661285]In percentage terms about how much have they translated? Also, you suck at cropping.[/QUOTE] I cropped it that way so people could see what the VN is called, as well as what the UI was like. But hey you know thanks for pointing that out I'm now a better person for having heard it.

[QUOTE=Jund;34657496]I'm going for Ever 17 after I finish Umineko Jesus this VN is LONNNNNNGGGGGG[/QUOTE] Yes it is, it's an enormous read but it's so worth it. The further in chapters you go the more shit gets real

[QUOTE=Orkel;34663869]Yes it is, it's an enormous read but it's so worth it. The further in chapters you go the more shit gets real[/QUOTE] To the point that the last four episodes (Umineko No Naku Koro Ni Chiru) are essentially "ShitGotReal: The VN"

I wasn't talking about how didn't crop out the window. I thought it was obvious since I leave the window visible in pics I post. [editline]12th February 2012[/editline] Also, you never did answer my question.

Here have a quick overview of how far the english patch is from being done. [quote]There are the main routes, the bonus routes, the true(Agave) route and the Hermit pseudo-route(This one's very freaky). Main routes: Mayucchi (Translated) Chris (Translated) Momoyo (Translated) Wanko (Currently being edited) Miyako (Currently being translated) Bonus routes: Unlocked after 2 completed main routes: Gakuto (Untranslated) Capt (Untranslated) Moro (Untranslated) Unlocked after 4 completed main routes: Umeko (Translated) Chika (Untranslated) Mayo (Untranslated) True route: True Route (Untranslated) Hermit Pseudo-Route: Hermit Route (Translated)[/quote]

Soooo about 50%? Seems like less because of all those bonus routes and the "true" route. [editline]12th February 2012[/editline] Also, thanks.

[editline]12th February 2012[/editline] Also, thanks.[/QUOTE] The route a lot of people are waiting on is the "true" route, although I don't think they've even started it yet. I'll let you guys know if the english patch gets updated.

That said I couldn't give a rats ass about the bonus routes unless they are of a decent length and/or they're really good. [editline]12th February 2012[/editline] Oh and for anyone wondering, the VN has an 12 episode anime.
