  1. Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo: First Impressions

    by , 01-13-2015 at 05:58 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    So I've started reading this visual novel. Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo - one of the more popular visual novels made by the same company that made G-senjou no Maou.



    I already regret starting it now when I have tons of exams and deadlines coming up because this visual novel is hard to put down. I like it a lot so far. The writing is glorious and some of the characters are just really lovable.

    The story starts ...
  2. Narcissu Review

    by , 01-12-2015 at 10:04 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    Narcissu is a visual novel developed by stage-nana, published in English by insani and Sekai Project.
    It's a visual novel that I bring up for four main reasons.
    • It's on Steam
    • It's free
    • It's very short
    • It's very good



    Overview

    Narcissu is a story about two terminally ill young adults living in a hospice. One being a twenty-year-old man who only just got admitted, and the other being a slightly ...
  3. Katawa Shoujo Review

    by , 01-12-2015 at 04:12 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    Katawa Shoujo (lit. "Disability Girl") is a visual novel developed by Four Leaf Studios. The novel gathered a bit of attention as its developer team consists of volunteers from the 4chan community which formed Four Leaf Studios with the sole purpose of creating and freely distributing this visual novel.


    Katawa Shoujo is one of a vast minority of visual novels that was not made in Japan.

  4. Me and a guy Talk about FF For an hour and a half.

    So far this is the third 'Podcast' if you want to call it that I've done.

    http://www.aguywhogames.com/?p=111

    Basically the point was to discuss whether or not FF X was a good game (And I must say, most convincing argument I've heard for it yet ), though we never discussed Symore at all.

    Really though we end up talking about all the numbered FF's, and it was quite a bit of fun!

  5. Katawa Shoujo: Lilly Satou's Route Thoughts

    by , 01-10-2015 at 07:55 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)

    And thus ends the last route. Was it a good note to end the visual novel on? Hell yes.

    Lilly Satou is a half-Scottish half-Japanese student who is enrolled at Yamaku high school because she is blind. She is good friends with Hanako and on not-so-good terms with Shizune, who is also her cousin. She has an older sister called Akira who works as a lawyer and occasionally visits Lilly and Hanako.

    Lilly's route is ...
  6. The Buddha on Anger

    An angry person is ugly & sleeps poorly. Gaining a profit, he turns it into a loss, having done damage with word & deed. A person overwhelmed with anger destroys his wealth.


    Maddened with anger, he destroys his status. Relatives, friends, & colleagues avoid him. Anger brings loss. Anger inflames the mind. He doesn't realize that his danger is born from within. An angry person doesn't know his own benefit. An angry person doesn't see the Dhamma.

  7. Star Trek New Years Resolution



    I'm attempting to watch every Star Trek episode ever, including the movies and the animated series. That is 546 hrs. I have watched the first 5 episodes of the original series and omg they are so sexist. The way they talk about women and treat women in the series is horrible. I made the comment on twitter that if an Ardat-Yakshi like Morinth was to encounter the federation, all of it, the entire federation is this way it seems, ...

  8. What is wrong with me.

    Why do I get things that are presented in fragments? You know when you don't have all the information, or you understand portions; is it because of who I am?

    Honestly like before it didn't bother me, until near the end of my undergrad. I found it extremely difficult that other people would see things and attach meaning to it. That one meaning now applies to everyone with that behavior/trait.

    Now it doesn't bother me it just makes me question why. Then I realize the answer. ...

  9. Katawa Shoujo: Hanako Ikezawa's Route Thoughts

    by , 01-07-2015 at 11:46 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)

    I did have somewhat high expectations for Hanako's route and it was nice to not see them betrayed. It even caught me off guard a few times and the ending was pretty good.

    First about Hanako herself. She is the shyest of the heroines and has great difficulties interacting with people. She has rather obvious scars over the entire right half of her body, but it's something she apparently prefers not to talk about. She is good friends ...

  10. Hi.

    Okay I made it a resolution to become more active on this forum. I frequently have creative episodes and random thoughts, it's really cool. Problem is I don't write them down so sometimes I forget them and it's kinda hard to write when you're in the shower.

    To be continued.. . . . . . . . . .
