Originally posted by Cuber456 From what I understand, the manga and visual novel of this title explain the story much better than the anime although I haven't read the manga or played the VN so I can't confirm that. This anime was rather disappointing considering how good the first two titles were .
I can confidently tell you that while I haven't seen the anime yet, I am actually reading the VN. And it is by far one of the best works of literature I have ever read in my life, possibly the best.
The story, while still confusing, is told in a masterful way, and gets a lot more time to develop than in the anime. Hell, just the first story arc takes at least 5 to 8 hours to get through. The anime only goes through the first 4 arcs, which are the "question arcs" while the VN and Manga get 4 additional arcs after those that are the "answer arcs" which help clear up the story and happenings tremendously.
The VN is capable of scaring the everlasting shit of me, and never really being sure on what is gonna happen next. Highly recommended, even if the first 4 arcs will be a bit of a repeat.
The manga is also good so far, but I haven't read far enough to get to the truly juicy bits yet.

Let me say it like this. Umineko is originally in Japanese. I am reading Umineko. I cannot read Japanese!
How would this be able to work... If it there isn't some kind of translation out there?
More seriously though, the Witch-Hunt translation is excellent, and it works perfectly for reading the VN. And only the 8 first releases are story arcs, one for each arc, and the last two releases are bonus discs with extra info and tips to solving the whole thing, from what I understand.
I am gonna watch the Anime sometime, but I wanna be done with the VN first, and then go for the anime.
The only thing that should reasonably stop you from reading the VN is the length, you should prepared for something akin to at least 60-80 hours of reading. It is a long work.

That achievement was silly, but at least I ended up with more CpS in the long run.
110MCpS and counting!

Hello, welcome, hi, welcome and all that.
Seems like you have quite the resume, Foobar2k is a great program, and if you have in any way helped it become so great, then you're a cool person in my book.

Because it's all the things I want (lower price and no 3D), but also without the one thing I need (good clamshell design).
It's just a little annoying to see it literally trip right on the finish line of me buying it. all the more power to those this console fits, it's just a little annoying having it be so close yet so far from what I wanted.

I use Metaknight in brawl, which usually nets a wide assortment of reactions when I pick him.
Had no real "main" in SSBM, and barely played SSB64.

Hey you.
There's no easy way to say this so I'll just say it straight.
You sound practically insane, please get off your high horse and see a therapist or something.
You're so far up your own ass that you cannot see things objectively. Things are either.
A) Bad, and someone else's fault.
or
B) Good because of your actions.
Anything not your action is bad, and anything of your own doing is good. And you'll search and spin what has happened just too convince yourself that you were already in the right the whole time. And that is not healthy behaviour at all. It just makes you shun people, which only leads to being more or less of a shut-in.
Seriously, get off your high horse, and see a therapist.

Playing Kingdom Hearts 1 Final Mix.
It's a weird experience. I cannot fathom how I could like KH1 when I was young, because the game is kind of eh, but on the other hand all the added things in Final Mix makes me excite to see what new things I get.
Weird.
When I'm done with this I'll just go for Re:CoM.

I'm just gonna put some things on the map here.
1) 8 distinct no bullshit no moving of thumbs, no haptic feedback/touch shittery pure buttons on the controller. 4 buttons on the shoulders, 1 on either side on the grip, and one when you press the trackpads down. That's a lot of buttons and I am confident it will be enough for most games.
2) The creator of Super Meat Boy got to test the controller, using his own game, and he liked it, I'd say that tells A LOT about how it can work for Precision 2D Digital Input gaming. He also brought up the idea of little nubs on the trackpads, to aid for "button" type inputs.
I am rather stoked, and hearing that it works for SMB was a lot more than I expected.

"Dammit," BMF54123 said. Xkeeper was mute, mouth ajar.
Minutes passed. Sighing, Xkeeper drew his katana and committed seppuku. But before he did so, explosions popped out of Will.i.am's stone statue.
Afterwards, the Eldrazi kidnapped BMF54123, leaving Xkeeper fighting King Daniels, the Supreme Leader of the Phyrexians. Meanwhile, in Canada there was mutiny afoot, as they were betrayed by literally everyone

Of course it can.
Left pad for movement, press it for run. Press the big right pad for jump. "R1" for shooting "L1" for Item Select, Left Grip for Aim Down, Right Grip for Aim up. And one of the middle buttons for start.
Simple.
Easy.
Also, ususally you shouldn't count buttons that are out of "reach" such as select ands tart, because if you do, then the steam controller gets a total of 4 EXTRA buttons and a TOUCHPAD in addition to all the buttons it has without moving the thumbs.

Quick question, has it always been paint?
Some things look decidedly like paint stuff, but some of the effects in the comic, especially early on look certainly more uh "effectful" that what you could easily do in paint.
