And the visual novel section of the Internet explodes due to the release of Katawa Shoujo. Five years to the day since the project was inspired.

Kinda funny, but expected, that their website crashed within a few minutes of them announcing it.  :p

Katawa Shoujo - Cripple Girls....... :wtf:

When you say "Visual Novel" I hope you mean an in depth and soulful manga that deals with the issues faced by people with disabilities in today's society...
I'm not even close, am I? Oh how I weep for humanity.  :nono:

Well, it's not like I've had much of a chance to play it, but from what people who played the demo have said, it handles the subject of disabilities very tastefully. From what I've seen of it, that does seem to be the case. Can't tell you how in-depth and "soulful" it is until I actually get somewhere in the story.

Oh, and it's not a manga, it's a game. Kind of like a computer version of those "Choose your own adventure" books. It's extremely text-heavy, but every now and again you are presented with a choice, and the story branches based on the consequences of that choice.

Hmmm, well I'm not one to judge without being informed so I'll take your word on its quality at a later date.

I know, I know. :) Hope you have a good birthday!

This sums my thoughts on the issue up.

Another Fourteen days for me to level up to 19 as well. So, winkyface.  ;)
A small voice in my head tells me they are have followed us here in the Milky Way. They follow us until we are dead at their feet. We are nomands of the stars, no longer the race that was loved by the Great Elders. My name is Kyral and this is my story of survival.

There is no sanctuary for us, in this Universe. We will fight the Terror for one last time on this Shining World. May the Transcendent judge us kindly in the Life Stream.

Well, I've played enough of it by now to know that they are definitely not making light of disabilities. In fact, one of the major initial conflicts is the protagonist coming to terms with having cardiac arrythmia, as well as having uncertainties on how to interact with disabled people, like not knowing who to focus on when speaking with a deaf-mute and her interpreter, and being confused as to what the rules of etiquette are on either ignoring or acknowledging a person's handicap. Other characters range from being totally adjusted to their handicaps ("Check me out, I'm the fastest girl on no legs!") to having issues with it (Hanako being so terminally withdrawn and shy due to her burn scarring).

I read up on the project and it turns out that a number of medical professionals assisted with the writing and the creators did some research into this stuff, to make sure they were getting the details right.



Also, Rin is hilarious. Definitely doing her route next, just to see what other bizarre things she has to say. :lol:
She's also the only person I've ever seen that does facepalms with her foot (facesole?).

I...  Yes.  This has needed to happen for a long time.

Speaking of X-COM, Steam's daily deal is the X-COM complete pack today.  It's $5.09 for the pack, or $5.07 for UFO Defense, Terror from the Deep, and Apocalypse.  I bought those games individually, instead of the pack, because Enforcer and Interceptor weren't worth two cents between them.

Anyone know a decent video capture software? Like FRAPs, but without it's tendencies to split videos (Which is a ***** to repair in Windows Movie Maker)

Depends on how good the engine and how strong the tow cables are. :P
