@TohruAdachi: Hah! I'm flattered! S'all good, I check this page like every hour or so during school to read your guys' replies, so I'm equally stalkerish.

@TohruAdachi: Ahahaha! It's fine man, don't worry about it.

The colours look better..? Huh, maybe it was just your TV or something. Well anyway, I'll be following this thread. Good luck!

I think I'm gonna go and replay Catherine again, thanks to this discussion. Such an amazing game.

@Jeric: I support them if the DVDs didn't cost so much money,on the other hand,already watched it,I'd give it 6/10 rating. And I totally hear you on relating to practically every character,the thing I love about Atlus,they can really relate to real life problems,and watching Catherine gameplay was super interesting,so that too.

Heh, I actually could've bought the DVD as it was right in front of me at some point, but hey - once you go blu-ray, you never go... regular-ray. So I just couldn't. And I friggin' love Catherine. If you like puzzlers and you haven't played it yet, you totes should man.

Though I'd never have the balls to play the game on Hard or finish all the challenges to get the, y'know, "special" cutscene. I've only ever finished Altar.

@TohruAdachi: I do sort of relate to Teddie too, though - his is a bit of a fantastical example if looked at with a literal sense, but if you think about it, it's really just about the sort of pessimism that can hit a person if they live optimistically for so long. His Shadow experience was sort of relative to a feeling that someone has when they start to think, "I'm really not all that great." Of course - like Teddie does, we all do have valuable qualities that help us recover from that sort of thing. So I bet his situation relates to more people than we think. In a way, I can relate to pretty much all of them - at least in different points in my life - just not to such extremities. They really did a great job of making realistic, human characters.

And I'd totally stream the anime, but nawww bro, gotta support them! Also I have a feeling that my brother ordered in the blu-ray for me for Christmas. So let's hope that's true.

@Jeric: I have to agree with you on Yukiko,I think she had one of the dumbest darkest secrets. The best in my opinion Brosuke.

"Yeah, I guess I do kind of hate everything."

The sad part was -- after seeing his revelation in The Animation (which I have not been keeping up with since I can't find the friggin' Volume 1 Blu-Ray anywhere in the city and I refuse to stream it in anything less than the best quality), I realized that I relate to his Shadow the most. Deep.

@selfconfessedcynic Oh man - I'll leave that up to the readers' imaginations

@TohruAdachi: Yeahhh I probably won't use any more time bumping up the crops. Since I'm not trying to do a perfect, one-day-save run, the SP veggies aren't really important (I haven't even used the ones I already have). The Hiranya are sort of unnecessary and the chest keys are easy to get.

Anyway, here's today's update. Also, these are all being uploaded straight to GiantBomb - do they have a file limit? Because I'm pushing 300ish pictures and, even though there's a Quest for 1000 uploads, I can't help but think that there's some sort of limit.

Today's update's mostly about Kanji, and it's littered in homophobic humour. As a disclaimer, I have nothing against guys who like other guys. Blargh.

@selfconfessedcynic: Ay thanks man. I try.

Now for today's post...
