klapman posted:Going to be streaming Little Busters again tonight from 6 PM CST to 8 PM, and I also managed to get Hitbox working way better than my old Livestream way of doing things, and it's nicer in literally every way. Pretty sure you don't need an account to see it, the delay is less pronounced, and so far as I can tell the sound and video quality is improved. I've heard a lot of good things about it, and it's just so much goddamn better than Livestream, seriously. Cool. So, will there be stream archives on hitbox at some point? I can't watch these live due to time zones.

Sorry about last night, something went wrong with my internet, but since things seemed like they wouldn't pick up for a while I kept going and something interesting happened.  Suleman posted:Cool. So, will there be stream archives on hitbox at some point? I can't watch these live due to time zones. Yep! It looks like I can pick and choose which ones to publish, though they only last for 2 weeks. The one from last night doesn't even reach half an hour though, due to the internet troubles. Unfortunately since there's really not much to comment on I think I might shelve the stream until things pick up in the plot. I've seen some things so far that look like they could be leading up to something bigger, but at this point most of my reactions are just "haha, that is a funny thing that just happened" rather than any real commentary. It's one of those things where i'm enjoying myself and it's fun, but as there's been no "holy poo poo" moments, streaming it is more like streaming ML Extra than Unlimited or Alternative. Can anyone tell me when a good time to start streaming is, in broad strokes? Last time someone told me to start at the end of Meiya's route in Extra, and that bypassed all of the pretty dull stuff without giving away the cool business.

Erm. Umineko is a bit weird. Suddenly lightsaber fight between Kanon and Bull Servant of Beatrice I am not sure what to make of this. Since Battler, our reference point for sanity and fighting against all of this weird magic stuff, is not present in the scene, I suppose it aint hard to simply call bullshit on this whole charade. One thing I can say without black bars: This music is fantastic. Simply magnificent.

Probably after you finish the common route. Maybe specific character routes? Rin, Kud, maybe Mio, Kurugaya for sure. e: unrelated, I would love to see a stream of Higurashi from someone who has a personality and hasn't played it before see you tomorrow fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Jan 24, 2014 |

On Chapter 2, Day 10 in Higurashi. A lot happening, although my suspension of disbelief is getting somewhat strained.
Edit: The really odd thing here is Rena acting so normal. There's no hint of the violent side she showed in the first chapter, and I'm not sure what that means. Silver2195 fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Jan 24, 2014 |

, but an actual aspect of her personality. Perhaps part of the reason her family are rumored to have demonic blood is due to a genetic predisposition to mental instability? It's a bit weird that Mion's identical twin would be seemingly perfectly sane, though.

I finished the second chapter of Higurashi. It was pretty  but also  , and probably other emoticons as well.

Little Busters is the kind of VN that might take a few routes before the weird stuff starts becoming clearer. The archives work for me now, which is super duper. In the future, could you turn down the LB music volume down a bit? Your commentary was pretty difficult to hear.

Higurashi will ultimately expect you to accept some pretty unlikely things, so it's best to be prepared.Silver2195 posted:On Chapter 2, Day 10 in Higurashi. A lot happening, although my suspension of disbelief is getting somewhat strained.

About to finish the fourth Higurashi arc. The biggest complaint I have is with the music, it's all generic as hell so far. Do the later arcs BGM ever compare to Umineko's or did they not have enough money when they made Higurashi?

The first four Higurashi chapters were pretty much created by one guy with a stock music license. There are a few original tracks in Kai at least.

Weird and under the radar, but Aksys Games has localized "Kamaitachi no Yoru" (Gamecenter CX fans may be familiar with this) under the name of "Banshee's Last Cry" https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/banshees-last-cry/id740139977?mt=8 Apparently according to that screenshot, they localized the Japanese names, it seems. I almost didn't recognize that it was supposed to be KnY until it was pointed out to me because of that.

It's a decent mystery game. I ended up bullshitting my way to the truth, but apparently there's a lot of alternate paths that unlock once you solve it, where more ridiculous or silly things can happen. I'm always gonna be amused about the everyone murders each other out of paranoia ending though which I got on my first playthrough since I did not know what I was doing, since it just reminds me of Higurashi and the Axe ending from 999. I kinda wish there was a flow chart, but I assume some of the branches are false branches where the protagonist thinks of something dumb, or they raise some flag somewhere.

I have managed to bait someone into Muv Luv without divulging any of the Unlimited or Alternative details. First reaction: "What the hell is a mech doing on my lawn? Hypothesis: Takeru is currently on drugs inside a Valgern-on arcade machine."

Higurashi (and Umineko for that matter) do not have "routes" like you seem to be thinking of, other than some chapters focusing on certain characters more than others.

Does Meakishi not have an All-Star Cast Review Session? The only thing I could find in the Extra's tab is the Staff Room scene with Ryukishi07 revealing that he's a chair.

Holy poo poo I really wish that Muv-luv extra wasn't (supposedly) a fairly important thing to go through before working up to Muv-luv Alternative. There's some funny parts, and the way the view and sounds shift around is pretty cool, but yeah, ugh, like every scene with the 3 maids is just unpleasant.

I think it's the former, because I believe the segments MangaGamer removed were the RK07 Staff Room stuff in the first four chapters. He spent one rambling on about his favorite RPGs or something.

Strange person, as he enjoyed Lacrosse. Anyway, further into Umineko and Will somebody get the gun every episode? And the supposed "closed rooms" were pitifully simple mysteries, both of them. E: Oh, and the meta discussions between Battler and Beatrice, along with the meta ways of disproving theories such as the red text. Really clever.
