  1. I'll second that. Umineko has a soundtrack I listen to regularly. My ipod has 2 playlists: My regular one, and Umineko. Nothing but stuff from Umineko. Plenty of other games have decent sound tracks and OPs I can fully appreciate, but nothing comes even close to grazing how much I'm affected by the Umineko soundtrack both from when I was playing, and just listening to it by itself.
  2. This brings a smile to my face. See it? Right up there in the corner?... Anyhoo-
  3. I... I can't even remember who was up there originally anymore.
  4. Totally doesn't say anything at the bottom there. Just random kanji thrown together. Duh. Paranoid people, am I right?
  5. While I'm normally in support of people having the freedom to do whatever they want with each other consensually, inbreeding does have its effects and victims: namely the children of such pairs.
  6. An epic reflection truly worthy of its own thread I'm sure. The gods smile upon you.
  7. Yeah, this seems to be the most common bleep I hear. ...Totally making bleep an everyday word. Bleep yea!
  8. If I remember correctly, the wonderful Ever17 was translated long ago by a now very defunct company. Regardless, unless someone separately translates a different version of the game, you won't be seeing any patches for things large or small. Enjoy the final route, you'll only get it fresh once. The whole idea of mindwiping it from your head and going into it unaware again is a bust. Believe me, I looked into it.
  9. I have played Juniper's Knot, but have not played DS because of continuation. The old art style was excellent, but comes no where near being close to what makes a VN great in the first place. I went ahead and gave a quick donation before the expiration, so that I may get a download of the first one, which I'll be happy to continue with in the future.
  10. Vemocleus. Add it. You know you want to. All the cool kids are doing it.
  11. I actually have not played any Persona game before. Persona 3 is on my "to get" list.
  12. Oh wait, I see Danganronpa is already out on Vita here. Well, I know what I'm buying tomorrow despite not being able to justify the time for it! <3 The Vita could use some more localizations, but I sure as hell don't regret getting one. Well, actually it was for my wife for Uncharted alone, but I end up using it more. Uncharted, Gravity Rush, and Virtue's Last Reward were all by themselves worth buying a Vita for. And I'm pretty sure I can now add this one to that list!
  13. I loved Hyouka. I loved the mysteries, even though they had no greater purpose to them. It was less about the mystery and more about the process behind it. Either way, I always found it to be engaging and delightful. Oreki and Chitanda didn't hurt the cause either.
  14. Ever 17 is my absolute favorite VN. That's all I will say on that. *Evil glare* As for the video itself, it was fine.
  15. I actually haven't used the main site yet, so just the forums is awesome enough for me. Still, I was staff at an anime site that disappeared the same way (except it didn't come back), so seeing this one down as well was depressing. Live long and play the best heroine last.
  16. Good luck to all! ...But keep in mind, if I don't win, I will insert subtle homo-erotic imagery throughout your game, Bat.
  17. (Lost most of what I had done the first time around, so.. much belatedly, tada!) The Kingdom of Lemonia Founded as a monarchy in the year 1 D.A where all of Western Europe would be up to the former Soviet Union territories. History: Following the end of the known world with the demon wars, the demon king Vemocleus established the Kingdom of Lemonia in order to restore those that remained with the peace and order they deserved after the horrific events of the war. It was not an easy road, but through their hardships, the people of the new Kingdom flourished. Over the decades, Lemonia established itself as a magnificent beacon of hope and center of trade for the world. However, Lemonia was not the only country established after the demon wars. The new kingdom would find itself at odds with the Republic of Lime, situated where Eastern Europe would be. First Lime War(43-45 D.A.): Displeased with how the borders were set after the founding of both countries, the Republic of Lime eventually sought to increase their land by pushing the border back more than 50 miles toward Lemonia's capital. With war declared, Lemonia and Lime engaged in repeated skirmishes and battles along the border until at last both sides saw the futility of continuing the war and the border was settled at its original position. It was a sure victory for Lemonia, but the people who were already weary of war became all the more so. (46-97 D.A.): A long peace came to Lemonia at last. Economic stability would lead to a happy and industrious period for the kingdom. During this period, Lemonia became known far and wide as the most desirable place to live in the new world. The new riches and customs introduced to Lemonia brought about a cultural revolution. Famous people from this era are outlined below. Excellent yields of the chief export (lemons) ensured a boom at the end of the first century that would unfortunately only be stopped by the great lemon crash of 98. The Lemon Crash and Depression(98-114 D.A.): After the price of lemons plummeted and trade deals started going sour, life in Lemonia became much less glamorous. Lifestyles had to quickly change due to the contrast of earning from the years before. Lemonia lost some of its luster in the eyes of the world, even if it remained one of the most desirable countries on Earth. But while Lemonia was trying to fix itself on the way to recovery, the Republic of Lime had other, fouler plans... Second Lime War(115-121 D.A.): Seeing Lemonia's current state as an opportunity and a sign of weakness, Lime decided to fabricate a delicate situation in one of their border territories. Saying that poor Lemonians fleeing their kingdom were looting and killing in towns on Lime's side of the border, Lime created an excuse to retaliate and finally push the border back as they wanted long ago. And so, amidst a depression and a confusing series of allegations, the Republic of Lime began an invasion of the Kingdom of Lemonia. Lime pushed their way to their previously desired border and managed to hold onto that land for 3 long years before being pushed out by Lemonian forces. In the end, the border went right back to where it was before. Lime's cowardly actions at the start of the war were not revealed until the war's end. (122 D.A - today): The period after the second war and up to today is filled with more days of peace and moderate prosperity. However, one never knows just how and when Lime may strike again... National Anthem: Historical figures: Demon King Vemocleus - Founder and king of Lemonia from its founding day all the way up to today! All is well with Vemocleus at the helm. Jack Lemonbauer - Famous funnyman who also gained renown for stopping a dastardly terrorist plot from the Republic of Lime... all in 24 hours too! Gerald Drops - Led the way for the Lemonian lemon to become the most celebrated lemon in the world. His catchy jingles and ad campaign were known to all. Andrew Lloyd Lemon - Created the famous play during the cultural revolution: "Of Lemons and Men". Lemon Revere - Warned Lemonians during the second Lime war: "The Limes are coming"! General Lemonhauser - Led troops to victory during the first Lime war. Government: Though Vemocleus reigns supreme as the king of Lemonia, due to its large size the kingdom is split into multiple territories each with its own specific sets of lower leaders. This ensures that all parts of the land receive equal attention. If the leaders of any territory are opposed by the people, Vemocleus will personally investigate and take action as necessary. This thorough response to the people's wants and needs has helped Vemocleus retain a firm grip on his popularity as a ruler. Justice System: Lemonia's police and criminal system are well maintained and a great asset to keeping order, especially at the border with the Republic of Lime. Though the lower courts typically handle the normal day to day running of the courts, Vemocleus will personally lend judgement to special or high-profile cases. Executions are very rare in Lemonia, and the worst judgments typically given are either banishment or life in prison. Lemonia is very tolerant of religious and personal varieties and holds many separate holidays and celebrations for many beliefs, events, and freedoms presented in the Kingdom. Notable laws include: "No defacing of public statues, unless it is somehow lemon-related." "There shall be no insulting of strangers, unless it is the once-a-year beloved 'insult a stranger' holiday." "All vehicles shall be a shade of yellow as tribute to the country. All others will be towed and stripped for parts." "If you see suspicious activity, report to your local police station. If you see goblins and pink elephants, report to your doctor." Language: The Kingdom of Lemonia has a complex official writing system known as Baruukh. It consists of two scripts written overtop one another. The Bara script is the main solid script consisting of most of the message. The Unlo script, however, is a faded "background" script that sets intonation and more subtle effects, such as mood and more complex meanings and emotions. True Baruukh consists of both of these scripts simultaneously. While Unlo is commonly separated by many spacings, Bara is often continuous, rarely including spaces. A rough example: Roughly translated as "Long live the great Vemocleus, High Ruler of our glorious Kingdom of Lemonia!" Many of the adjectives here (such as 'great' and 'glorious' are merely inferred by the Unlo "background" script, and not actually a word in itself. Only in the spoken language are more direct words used to describe something. Economy: The currency of Lemonia is strongly influenced by its chief export, and is called the Lemon Drop, or "Drop" for short. For the majority of Lemonia's existence, the Lemon Drop has remained as one of the strongest currencies of the new world. It is only at its lowest point, during the depression, that the value has forced a drop to #5 in the world's currencies. Lemons are the main cause of Lemonia's prosperity, and the quality of this export is known well throughout the world. If a lemon hasn't come from Lemonia, it is visibly subpar. Because of this, there are few outside the kingdom who attempt to make a cheaper, less quality lemon trade. Technology: As one of the more prosperous nations, and a great center of trade, Lemonia has access to the most sophisticated technology located around the globe. Though many techs were unfortunately lost during the demon wars and electricity is scarce and limited, Lemonia has leading current technologies. This includes military equipment for its defense on the eastern borders with Lime (machine guns, tanks, ammunition stockpiles), to more artistic technologies, such as simple film projection that runs entirely on the wonderful sun-powered battery technology. It is partly these advances that make Lemonia one of the most desirable places to live in the world. Education: The Kingdom of Lemonia prides itself on proper education. Young children are given every chance to thrive and succeed in various capacities. Though many of the classic respected occupations exist and are very good paths to take, one of the most surprisingly respected paths is that of the lemon farmer. Orchards of lemon trees can earn the respect of an entire community, and often in some circles, the number of lemon trees directly corresponds to your wealth, power, and influence. Truly, in Lemonia, the lemon is a wonderfully powerful fruit. Miscellany: Population: Nearly 400 million people. National Dish: Lemon squares with either lemonade or lemon tea. National Flower: Daffodil. National Sport: Jousting. Highest Earning Film: "Of Lemons and Men." Number of national holidays: 34.
  18. According to Skype, SolidBatman is best girl... just sayin'.
  19. Hachikuji Mayoi best girl. Whatever that means.
  20. You know, School days instantly floats to the surface, but it does what it does SO WELL... The worst kind of show is probably one that just doesn't leave any impression whatsoever. Stuff like Busou Shinki I remember actually completing last year, or Maken ki. So I'll just say those. *Throws a combustible lemon at Bat*
  21. Day 4 was eaten by Garnuthra, the dark sorcerer of time.
  22. I flew across the country on a whim without telling my folks. They were not appreciative.
  23. Ever17 hands down. Final route. Just when you think your head can't asplode again... It asplodes again.
