Nope. Mao Amatsuka best girl.

Infinite Stratos. Gosh. That show. I generally won't watch something that I don't like or is bad, but Houki. Not sure if it was worth it. I tried watching the second season for more Houki, but it felt even worse and I just absolutely hated the new girl.

Day 4 has been majorly stressed out, lately. He really needed a day off, but his employer allowed none. Day 4 had recently learned of the wonders of fractions and thought that this may be the perfect opportunity to try his hand at mathematics. Using his new found power, he took on the form of Day 32/8, a perfect disguise if ever there was one. He was able to go as he pleased; the other whole numbers knew nothing of fractions. Everyone saw him as an exotic foreigner and payed him no mind, being the xeno-cautious folk that they were. Though Day 4 had nary a clue on how to explain his absence after he had had his fun.

I decided to dance through life. I don't regret it, though I may when I start hitting the repercussions.

Going on a date with Lucia from Rewrite. Gosh, Lucia is so great. She may be why I'm obsessed with tsunderes.

My new years resolution will be to "finish" learning Japanese so that I can drop more VNs.

Never really saw the appeal in figures. Then my friend was all, "Hey look. I'm getting this for Christmas." Totally wanna buy tons of them now. I settled on this one for my Christmas gift. The first of (hopefully) many. I really like it, though the hair feels a little too light. And unfortunately, it doesn't fit the pegs on the stand. Stood it up haphazardly to take the picture. Wobbled if I so much as touched any of the shelves. In the box until I get around to having someone else fix it for me. I'm really tempted to get the swimsuit Mao coming out soon.

Gosh. I wish I could write. I wanted to take this places. I wanted to do something special. Writing is too hard.

Hasn't winter 2013 not yet started? Seems weird to have the cutoff be in the future. Also, instead of agonizing over who's best girl, all my votes (4) go to Komari. No hesitation. No regret.

Ahem.

I wanna say something about english speakers being generally difficult to unify since there's such a large variety of us. I mean, I'd imagine most people that visit that Vietnamese site are probably Vietnamese and living in Vietnam. Though I don't know anything about Vietnam. Or english speakers, for that matter, so I probably shouldn't say anything.

This was much more difficult than it had to be.

Liam O'Brien is great. It's nice hearing familiar voices and some are definitely more desirable, but I rarely actually look up who's who. But, Maaya Uchida because Mao Amatsuka. I will not remember her name long.

>something hypocritical about fat lolis

Ideals are fun. So let's say we could develop an ideal reimagining of a real life town (or world because why not) with NPCs that have ideal AI that are nearly exactly like real people (without the more extreme undesirable traits). Have that world go on for so long to basically randomize the inhabitants (reproduction would work because the world would be able to create new AI), societal state of the world (without those extreme undesirables), etc (or just make each individual detail however you want but I wouldn't really care about what doesn't involve me so I wouldn't). Then let's choose a setting (be it a school, workplace, town, whatever that particular VN would need) and deem certain NPCs as key characters and fine tune them to what would be desired for the plot (and it wouldn't butterfly effect because ideal). Everyone else would be an ordinary person (i.e. snowflakes). For the plot, we would set the pieces for what we would like to happen. Protagonist is going to determine how the pieces fall. The protagonist will generally be whatever the player wants them to be (which will make work the "I want this but I can't really explain what this is" because ideal) within limits(which will feel like "you can be practically anyone" because target audiences). I'd like it to look very pretty. Like, flowers and blue skies and rainbows and sunshine and smiles pretty ("I want this but I can't really explain what this is"). It would have realistic 3D models that are still distinctly...not-real, I guess. You'd know it was a game or something by looking at it. The plot would have an ideal path that could be followed with infinite branches depending on player interaction (interactions>choices) that doesn't turn into an absolute mess because ideal. Gameplay would generally be the same as most VNs if you follow the ideal route, though mostly everything you say can be modified within limits (which would feel like "you can say practically anything" because target audiences and ideal). Instances where you couldn't necessarily change much involve disorientation of protagonist and similar situations. Events, conversation, or whatever you'd like to call it will have control of the protagonist extremely limited, though such limits could be broken depending on what is said during conversation or if you feel like just walking away mid conversation. When you are not in conversation, you'll be able move around the world and do things/go places within limits (invisible walls because when you can't go somewhere, you can't go there). You could trigger side events, alternate main events, or just goof around; a guideline on what should be done for the ideal route would be given. During traveling or dull moments time could be skipped. If the setting is more fantastic or the plot involves the protagonist being more active, there could be segments that feel like a traditional game, but they would be infrequent, to the point, and without difficulty. Players would be able to decide how to proceed and what to do in such situations within limits (because limits), or watch an ideal playthrough. After the ending (which there would be one because ideally structured plots don't fall apart) which brings closure, "life" would continue endlessly without any heavy structure. But the invisible walls stay, albeit less prominent. This would be made to "entertain". Nothing particularly deep or heavy. No, "I can do anything, but does that even mean anything?" Not gonna proofread. Don't wanna.

Having spectated the last contest, very intimidated. But what the heck. I'll play.

I thought the common route of Rewrite was fantastic. Freaking, Kotori being Kotori was the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_r2YeIH7BU

I checked my bnet account after reading this. Like, "Hmm. This couldn't be right. Maybe I hadn't applied for the beta." Found out I hadn't applied for the beta. .-. And,

Freaking, Chroniko's Boots. Episode 3 of Kaiba was just blargh. I'd recommend watching at least that one episode. It should work standalone. Probably. Was a while since I watched that show.

I was hesitant at first, but I went ahead and got "Burn your fat with me!!" It's a cute little fitness app/VN that's entertaining enough. It's really neat playing a VN on my iPad and the girls are cute. Then I get told to do 50 sit ups in three minutes on day two because what is pacing. Freaking. 20 was hard. I'm so out of shape. Honestly, though. It's pretty bad. The menus are clunky, the progression requirements are annoying, freaking have to buy freaking DLC to do anything other than freaking sit-ups, and I still haven't gotten much VN. But, entertaining enough. Still waiting for that "Frequent/Intense Sexual Content or Nudity" that got it its 17+ rating. Surprised something so obscene is on iTunes. Apple needs to moderate better.

I just wanna say, Anastasia is a wonderful name.

I would not watch Watamote because of what you call social phobia. And heights, fucking heights. Seriously. I also am very much bothered by fish. I don't know if it would be called fear, but I just hate looking at them or being anywhere near them. Freaking, sitting in a pool of fish would be so traumatizing. Claustrophobia, too, I guess. I wanna say it's not that serious, but I'm generally not in crowded places.

Well gosh. I am very much not interested in abuse. You are making this game sound very unattractive.

Steve, I don't know you very well, but I see you as a very great person. That always cheerful attitude you seem to have is just wonderful. In fact, you were one of the reasons I was drawn to this forum. Even if you ever bother me, I don't think I could ever hate you or someone like you and that's fantastic. And my contribution, Also, I may be being hypocritical here, but c'mon, Man. Fat lolis need love, too.
