    Even now, I am still trying to finish one of these games... (that's a lie, I surrendered halfway)

    Well then, if I can be excused...

    Me.

    By Mr Poltroon,

    Now, the curt title is by no means lacking in detail. In fact, any more would be rather pointless, for it describes perfectly what this post is about. Me:

    Well then, please excuse me...

    To be honest, I cannot see how an introduction is needed. I believe it is impossible to make the title any more explicitly clear than it already is. Nevertheless, this shall be my best attempt at explaining.

    As on par with most blogs, this one will be about me, myself, the lovely chap who goes by the name of Tiago (mind you, not Tiag, that's an entirely different person you should steer clear of).
    I am Portuguese. Some call me cold, some call me blunt, and some take me for a grumpy old man, but what everyone invariably ends up agreeing on is that I am sarcastic to some extent. I cannot possibly understand how one would arrive at that conclusion, but I have no choice in the matter...

    I shall now explain the possible contents of the following blog posts and how they will be organized.

    I am a narcissistic feller, who loves listening to his own voice, so I very much recommend you get used to seeing me record something pretty much every time I get a chance.
    Context is everything, or so I've been told. In order to avoid baseless accusations, I'll attempt to explain the circumstances to whatever springs the blog post about. Afterwards, I'll share whatever evil scheme I've conjured up, be it a story, be it a video.
    In fact, most of my blogs should go along these lines:
    Audio Recording (Eg.: Christmas Thank you Message)
    Video Recording (Eg.: Violet Hill Playthrough)
    Image Shenanigans (Eg.: My Experience with Sengoku Rance)
    Stories (Eg.: A Brief History of Portugal)
    Whatever springs to mind - Yes, this does effectively render providing categories rather senseless, doesn't it?

    And this should be about it, which by consequence finalizes the purpose of this blog post.
    Well then, if you'll excuse me...

    I've always wanted to make a playthrough of a visual novel. You see... it turns out, and I only just found out myself, this is a Visual Novel forum, which by extension means I should also show some love to VN's, lest I be cast aside.
    With that said, I chose these lovely chaps to turn into my first target:

    I assure you no bribery was involved.

    Now, since there's absolutely no voices (as of yet, my expert services can be hired for a measly 25 euros per minute of sound), this project and reading every single line requires quite a bit of exertion, and after a while I become so tired I turn dyslexic, and for that, I apologize.
    Nevertheless, you can see the first three videos below, any others will have their very own blog page!



    Now then, if you'll excuse me...

    As I'm a very cool and modern person, I make sure to always keep up with the latest fads, so here's HuniePop, several months after it dying down.
    There's absolutely no worthwhile content in this spoiler. You'll only find a source of noise and footage from a game you should probably be playing yourself, if you're so interested as to resort to watching this.




    Please excuse me then...

    A friend of mine (an english teacher) asked me to record myself reading the various stories and to put it into a CD so she could play it to her kids. I say she is crazy, but I wouldn't pass up this opportunity, now would I?

    Here's the first of said stories:

    Revolting Rhymes: https://www.roalddahl.com/roald-dahl/stories/1980s/revolting-rhymes

    If you'll have me excused...

    ​Below, using a perhaps not so heart wrenching font, you'll find the contents of an old thread of mine, originally published on January 8th. This is as far back as I'll go, though it is true I also have other stuff you can find if you look for it, this blog will only include content from 2015 onward.

    I would hope you listened to it first, but you don't have to. This is actually all a hoax.
    I just found a text online that I really, really loved, and decided to share it with people.

    If you don't want to put up with me reading it, here's the actual link:

    As later requested, and for comparison with my normal accent, here's a couple of other recordings of me, this time in my own language:
