Sure, that sounds good. But ultimately your “intent” only matters to you. Everyone external to your own head has to, and only can, deal with how you come across as. It’s a reasonably simple dynamic: either you steadfastly continue on as you wish and thus deal with the fallout of how everyone else interprets your…

Actually I’d consider it pretty accurate. Whenever there is a conversation like this you can practically be counted on to show up and be pro Team Creepy. If that’s not your intent/you’d like to come across differently, I’d suggest re-evaluating how you present your opinions.

There’s a pertinent question here that doesn’t get answered though: If it had worked, would it have been worth it?

Makes you wonder how Richard, as the BIGGEST. IN. JAPAN! manages. I feel a twinge of sympathy for what he must endure.

The “crazy pusher canard thing” looks to be a Shinden, though bits of it also remind me of a Saab 21.

Well congratulations. You just made up my mind for me, regarding getting this. >.>

Just to be sure, though, I played this video to Kotaku's resident Actual Scottish Human Mark Serrels, and all he could say was "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?"

Tenchi was one of my first anime, and was the first boxset I ever bought (Ah, Pioneer), but I did not like Universae as much. What I did find provided me exactly what I was looking for more of, however, was the Tenchi Muyo! manga. Same art, same comedy, same lack-of-taudriness. It really is just much more of what you…

Not sure if this was the joke, but you're entirely correct. The book was written after the author was inspired by the practise of save-scumming.

Which is irrelevant to anything I said.

"Veiled references" ?

You're all wrong, as none of you put "Stellvia"

You're so cute. You're like watching a little robot made by an inept engineer that, no matter how the software is tweaked, just trundles forward and bumps into walls.

Heh.

You can get the translation patches from Amaterasu Translations, but the games have problems on Windows 8 annoyingly, so prepare for that. Otherwise, not saying any more except stick with Extra. It becomes worth it.

A few different options there. If you're meaning Muv Luv: Total Eclipse VN vs Anime, I haven't played the VN but it seems to be more content rich. The anime was... alright, verging on Meh, aside from the first two episodes which really felt like Muv Luv to me. Those initial two eps are what I keep with me from that…

The top three are all sourced from a Visual Novel series called Muv Luv, which is very highly regarded by fans who have played (survived) it, and it remains possibly the most powerful experience any story has ever given me. It does make you work for it though, heh.

A few I threw together reasonably quickly.

Nice, very nice. Except, not...

I was always lead to believe it was part of a scattershot approach to crisis response as well. If the members of a given population encounter an event they do not know how to deal with, having a broad variety of responses increases the chances that some members will survive by doing the appropriate thing. And then…
