In the rather-niche realm of anime and manga, enjoyability often hangs on how decent the translations are. A significant number of us tend to prefer watching in the original Japanese dub with English subtitles, since English dubs are almost universally horrendous. At the same time, however, the English DVD releases,…

I actually haven't had any issues with this. MS gives out free OneDrive space like candy. I have a 120GB enthusiast bonus (on top of my 25GB of permanent bonuses, on top of the default 15GB) which is going to expire in april. Another free promotion comes along, and I'm rocking that 100GB for another two years.... No…

Yeah, I've had that same problem finding a good *headset*. I actually ended up using a rather cumbersome setup, with my ATHs on my head and a razer headset around my neck with its mic up. Annoying but does the job.

Yes, that's the standard issue that most sets have. In our experience, the ATHs don't seem to have this issue.

If you ever get the chance, try the Audio-Technica ATH-A700(X) set. I've traditionally taken issue with many head-cans being generally too tight, either horizontally or vertically (or both) but the A700s are amazingly comfortable. My best friend who always hated over-ear headsets for the same reason as you actually…

Female voices generally come across as more friendly and soothing.

That's absurd. Has anyone done a fan-translation? Few things I hate more than a translator actually changing the freaking story.

Cameras, sensors, maybe some IR emitters and who knows what else. Giz talked about their hands-on with the current prototypes, and how some of the internals are exposed for them to see. The field of view is low, but it apparently works amazingly well. "That is some hard core coding/smart scanning" indeed.

No patterns required. Just an array of built-in cameras and other sensors and whatnot. might even use kinect-like infrared emission. They've talked over on gizmodo about the actual demos they were treated to personally, and how some of the internals of these devices were left exposed for them to see. This tech is real.

It's not really a problem with steam itself; it's more the companies that make the games worrying that a curious player would find and expose the content and start a shitstorm. =/

Hardly. Either way, these wouldn't get the public eye like the spiderwoman cover did.

For all-ages releases, the no-go content must be physically removed from the game entirely, the scripts edited to remove all dependencies on them, content reviews must be performed, near-acceptable images must be edited, etc... if they don't go far enough to ensure that none of the questionable content is present,…

We seem to have similar tastes. Absolutely loved Clannad and Yume Miru Kusuri. I still need to finish KiraKira though, only got through half of the second route I played before getting sidetracked.

because that rendition of spiderwoman looked completely absurd, I imagine.

There are plenty of different subgenres in eroge. If all you want is rampant sex, corruption and other such depravity, the genre for you is 'nukige'. It's not my cup of tea, but yeah that's a thing. There are plenty of other subgenres/titles that take more realistic and/or more romantic approaches. The characters…

Seriously? Censoring kissing? I had actually been thinking about getting that game, but now I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that they'd go that far.

I was discussing censorship on Steam a week or two ago with a friend of mine, and we were somewhat amused by it as well.

There's absolutely zero shame in playing eroge.

it doesn't actually repel the water; rather it just prevents wetting. The water droplets bounce simply because they are unable to stick and the surface tension creates a sort of elasticity. Were the surface perfectly flat (or concave), after expending its energy the water droplet would eventually settle in one spot.

CCCP is where it's at. I haven't used K-Lite or seen anyone recommend it in years.
