Oh god, if you don't get all the endings... you never know how bizarre and twisted and deep this game really goes...

Awesome. Really hope we can get more VNs for the Vita. (wish that the Clannad kickstarter had a Vita option...)

Hatoful Boyfriend was brilliant. It was goofy and lovable but then managed to pull what seemed like a one-off, pointlessly silly premise into a genuinely cohesive story. It really is one of the most creative and surprising games you'll ever play. (Yes, you need to get all the endings. You really, really do. Trust me

Different suit color, different hair style, different hair color, different face-structure, different ethnicity, different appearance of age... How is that Asuka? I'm not hating on the art, but it simply isn't the character.

That's one of my favorite excuses to hear. (I jest.) "I need time to relax!" Yes, asshole, you do. Pardon me while I whip out the vacuum and scrub that toilet, as you are relaxing.

Except that EVERY ADULT knows that "rape" also mean "sexual assault". It's not like an archaic word that nobody knows. You can't say "I'm gonna rape her" to a woman and believe this is acceptable.

There will be more studies like this about high-powered/promising women, one of which I'm part of, and they'll implicate husbands and the usual suspects in business, though perhaps more forcibly than before.

My husband tried to pull this shit on me after talking a long bullshit 50/50 child/home-work line, and for the

I thought I needed to do this. With five children I was looking at part time work so I could continue to do everything at home as well. But part time work is hard to come by and you hardly ever get to choose what *kind* of work you do if the hours are paramount.

Single mom here, with a perhaps unpopular opinion. My life is actually easier post-divorce. My ex thought he did enough of the house work and child care, but to him that meant giving the baby a bath maybe once a week, doing the dishes once in a blue moon, and running to the store when we ran out of something. I find

I unfortunately suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder when the winter hits and I'm usually able to curb it with some Saint John's Wort. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those "nature cures all" new age nut-cases, but the mild mood stabilizing effect of Saint John's Wort does seem to do the job.

Great write-up. I feel that people who don't suffer depression or know anyone who do, have a tendency to confuse a couple of bad days with depression. While it may indeed be called "depression", it's hardly a clinical diagnosis. Nor is it as crippling as true depression can be. It's very easy for those who confuse it

The podcast is coming back!

I'm so disgusted that Whoopi defended him on The View and went so far as to say he settled in court because innocent people settle in court all the time.

I've never known a Notre Damer who doesn't reek of insecurity about their school. Seriously, they can't go 5 minutes without pathologically having to tell you how good of a school it is. I happen to agree, it's a great school. I'd have to say it's in the top 20 safety schools you go to if you can't get into an Ivy.

Not everyone knows why they're depressed. Youre "lucky" I guess. Plenty of people just ARE depressed, and sometimes there isn't even a reason outside of "my brain chemistry is fucked up." For those people, drugs may be the only thing keeping them SANE or ALIVE. So no, it's not "cheating." Maybe for you, and maybe

"Pussies," really?

SAD is a specifier of major depression, meaning it can be an early sign of a much more dangerous condition. Calling some who is experiencing SAD a "pussy" only highlights your ignorance. It is the kind of ridiculousness that has kept mental illness stigmatized. This isn't something they choose to be, and it can all
