    Has your enjoyment from gaming remained the same throughout the years?

     and for us older gamers that sense of NESstalgia 

    Caught yeh. Nice pun  :makina:

    But yeah, pretty much agree with what everyone is saying. I've bought Fable Anniversary as of late, but I just can't get my self to play it, not because it's bad, but because I'm just not as interested in games-period as I use to be... I find myself only playing games my friends play since I can talk with them about it. I must say, I find this to be a rather sad development, since I plan to develop games in the future... And making things you barely enjoy anymore is not going to be easy  :unsure:

    What are some things that you look forward to every day?

    What an interesting thread... Hmmmm, things that I look forward to? I highly doubt I can count them. The second I wake up, they start falling on my brain one by one, without any proper order... The only one I think about when I seriously need motivation though, would be the belief that the current state of the world needs to be changed, and only I can change it. Not on a very grand, chuuni scale mind you, but knowing that only I can push the world in a particular direction, no matter how small, can be pretty motivating  :D

    I guess, but writing good male protagonists takes effort :Kappa:

    While a good female lead only needs dem front bumpers  :scottsune:

    Seriously though, like Down, I don't watch much of these kinds of shows. The only thing that rings a bell when I read your description is OriEmo. Now THAT was one dispicable female lead surrounded by girls who were all cooler than her. Not because the other possible love interests were awesome, but because she was so disgusting, a trash can would become a lovable character when put next to her.

    Why is it rare for a VNs (or stories as general) protagonist to have these 10 quallities?

    Welp, everyone already said most of what needed to be said... But I would like to add that it's not the fact that the said protagonist is good or evil, but how balanced he is in the middle. A completely evil character is just as boring and predictable as a perfectly good character. Humans are in their own nature, not angels nor devils, but something in between. Even Hitler had some good qualities, and even the prophets of the Bible committed some mistakes.

     

    That's what makes the human race as interesting as it is. There is a large space between pure good and pure evil, which allows for a lot of variety between mankind. 

    Do you guys use walkthroughs or not?

    Usually, I ask around and see if the VN itself requires a walkthrough to complete with efficiency. Some, like Ever17 or Clannad, have a lot of choices and mechanics and orders that are hard and frustrating to go into blindly. With such VNs, I prefer using a walkthrough of course. 

     

    As for others, such as Rewrite or Grisaia, the choices are few and are pretty easy to figure out, regarding which route you want. With those, I do not use a walkthrough. 

     

    Some VNs I read for the lulz (Brass Restoration. Who can play that game seriously?), which I go into blindly just to see where I'll end up :P

    According to this recent article, ALL internet pornography is banned in Egypt.  Or at least it was in 2012.  Not sure how things changed with the revolution(s) and all.

     

    Hahaha, I can say with confidence that you can do whatever you want on the internet in Egypt, no anywhere in the Middle East, and not really fear the government, mainly because they're just too dumb to make any working system for dealing with online crime. Just don't go showing off your porn to the officials' faces and you're ok.

    Oh, and don't insult religion, cuz in that case they'll find you with speed and accuracy that'll make the FBI seem ourdated  :ph34r: 
     

    (Spoilers) Was Terra a good route? (Rewrite)

    in Visual Novel Talk

    The biggest Rewrite spoilers imaginable lie ahead. You have been warned

    The purpose of this poll is to see what the majority think of the final route in Rewrite, Terra. Feel free to share your opinion and your reasons, and no need to worry about spoilers since you don't need to put them in the spoiler box if the thread itself has (spoilers) in its title (I think).

     

    As for myself, I thought it was nothing short of awesome. Kotarou's sexy voice, his awesome change in personality, the way he refused to bow to neither Guardian nor Gaia... Just awesome. It felt a lot like he got his own route, and I loved it  :wub:
