Played a little indie game called "Manual Samuel" yesterday, expecting it to be some adventure game with choices like The Walking Dead or at least interactivity, but it turned out to be this really annoying game where you have to control a character using a very awkward set of keys on your keyboard. And when you start the game for the first time, guess what the important message you'll see is? "This game is better with a controller." Yeah, that explains it. A PC game that works better with a controller. Anyway, it's short enough that I managed to complete it and forgot about it. It was okay, and the comedy is... passable, I guess. It's the sort of 'quirky' humor that hipsters like to describe indie games with. You know the kind. Undertale-ish.

Yeah, same here. I used to have trouble reading them because I hate reading, but when I realized there's a lot of good stories among visual novels, I kept reading and eventually got used to the habit. It takes some time to get used to it. I've spent about (altogether) a year or two reading VNs now. I recommend reading the more popular beginner titles like Fate/Stay Night and especially Steins;Gate to get you started. The latter in particular is very digestible for newcomers.

Simple enough thread title, don'tchu think? Ahem. Anyway, you know the story by now: searched high and low for an anime forum, stumbled onto this one, made an account and said hello. Interests: 1. Anime, naturally 2. Visual novels (currently reading 6 of them) 3. Casual video games (meaning no PvP or overly challenging strategy games) Not much to tell, since I'm a relatively average guy. I'm currently reading the following visual novels: 1. Kara no Shoujo 2. Swan Song 3. Aoishiro 4. Root Double 5. Fate/hollow ataraxia 6. And last but not least, The Labyrinth of Grisaia That last one has an anime, which I'm going to watch. I'm almost at the end of the VN though, so I'm really playing catch-up with the anime. Didn't like The Fruit of Grisaia's anime, since that felt like a waste of time with its condensed content. Michiru's route sucked in that anime, since there wasn't even The whole thing just felt rushed and unsatisfying. Only reason I'm bothering with Labyrinth is because I saw an animated scene that the VN didn't show in image form (it was only described with words). Still, that scene in the anime felt a lot less brutal than what the VN described with mere words. A lot less blood and violence, really. Anyway, not sure if I'll have much time for other anime, but I might stick around here for a while. Pleased to meet you.
