So yeah, I don’t play platformers but I feel way too often (certainly disproportionally so) jumping is an essential part of RPGs, shooters, etc. where it…

I think it’s sad Haganai gets such a bad rap. I really like it! It’s a little clichéd, yes, but it also takes some real risks. The character designs and animation are great, the music is good, and it’s often very, very funny.

Hey, you honestly seem like you might be a decent guy and I’d like to hope you have an open mind, too. You’re just wrong here, and if you’re interested in maybe seeing how, and also maybe improving you’re future dating prospects, I’d suggest checking out a few of these Dr. Nerdlove (the guy sometimes featured here at…

Except...she was a physicist:
