  1. With two tsunderes and one kuudere, it's hard to see how you missed To Heart 2 (unless you just didn't like it.)

    I was sceptical about it and I had to check my log and you're right, it took me 38 hours and 14 minutes to finish G-Senjou no Maou which should fall in the Long category. P.S. : My log refers to that I have a neatly organised and precise text file about every VN that I play and I record how much time I have played on which day. If anyone is interested here is my log file for G-Senjou no Maou :

  3. People who drop themselves into the abyss of otaku media tend to have their sense for things dull over time. Action scenes don't excite like they used to, rom-coms aren't as funny, ecchi isn't as hot, and only the densest stories succeed in scratching the itch. This is what I (and some others) call becoming a 'jaded veteran otaku'. Jaded veteran otakus often become 'genre specialists' (meaning they only play one type of game, watch one type of anime, and/or refuse to play specific types), and only the most hypocritical have less than ten favorites in their medium. However, how exactly do you tell that a VN (in this case) is one of your favorites? There are a number of signs. 1. Does watching the opening get you excited no matter how many times you've seen it? 2. Does a great phrase that shattered your personal gate of tears do so again on a second playthrough? 3. Can it still make you giggle? 4. Can it still delight you with new discoveries or even only confirming the ones you made the last time you played? 5. Does defending it to everyone around you fill you with passion and do you have an intense desire to chain every other VN fan in site to a chair in front of a computer to play/read it? 6. Do you find yourself wistfully wondering if you'll ever find anything else like it again? 7. Do you feel like a junkie coming down off a great high after you finish it? These are just some of the signs of a VN happening to be your favorite... and one of the strange side-effects of being a long-time addict of otaku media is that your favorites become ever more distinct to you as time passes. I have literally forgotten the contents of more VNs than most people have played, but the ones I love remain in my memory with surprising detail, even after years without playing them. Not all of my favorites are kamige (in fact, surprisingly few of them are), but to me they are irreplaceable friends similar to the books I can never bring myself to get rid of.

  4. I am calling you out for not including the marketing campaign of a fast food chain! How dare you! Jokes aside it funny how many games Cherry Kiss Games released this year! I would have never known without those videos.

  5. I have always been seeing people complaining about translation patches and stuff like where is the 18+ release. And was wondering, the time people spent on doing nothing but waiting for patches can be used to learn Japanese instead, so why not just do it? It's never too hard to learn anything really, just be committed and stick to what you are doing, then one will eventually reach their goal. I won't be able to give input on this as I am half Japanese, so learning it as a foreign language doesn't apply to me. But what do you guys think? Learning Japanese just for VN reading or too much effort for a hobby?
