Danganronpa 1/2 are pretty good

Does Life is Strange count as a VN

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Life is Strange wouldn't count as a VN because it features too much fast-paced bottle collecting gameplay.

Sometimes I think about Hotel Dusk and remember that it apparently had a sequel that didn't have any of the words from the original in its title and also didn't come to North America and I should really track that down but then I immediately forget about it.

Defintiely Fata Morgana. Higurashi and Umineko are also favorites of mine but they don't really have decent art unless you track down PS3 sprite patches for them (not that hard) and Higurashi has some serious pacing/tone problems in its first couple of chapters.

Last Window. It's pretty good! At the very least a much better sequel than that Wii Trace Memory game.

but not this one, thanks!

also i just remembered i never finished Pagan Rand No 2 and keep meaning to get the PS4 collection before 3 comes out

edit: ohhhhh Trace Memory was so good, but i thought of it more as a puzzle game with a good story than a VN per se

I just broke down and imported it while I'm actually thinking about it.

Hopefully no one just found out there's a second game from my post because I may have just bought the only copy on Amazon.

I was just talking to someone about Impossible Mission on the C-64, and it made me think of how the same guy seemed to do voice samples for every C-64 game. In particular, I know this death scream was used in a few different games:

Are there any of those video game history sites with any info on who that guy is? A couple minutes of googling turned up nothing for me.

Oculus has a magical little dingy called the "Guardian" system, it helps you set up a blue grid to keep you from smashing into anything. Even in a small apartment it's incredibly flexible. Unless you're living in an actual closet it's totally fine. Vive actually has a camera that bleeds the feed into your VR view in case you come within boundaries. Also if you're playing so loud that you can't hear anything around you, that's neither healthy in VR or flatscreen gaming.

I actually don't go anywhere without my Rift. VR is the future of technology and the future of gaming. It provides a perfect virtual space to inhabit and conduct my daily life in and it shelters me from the harmful world surrounding my physical body in many ways. I feel safe with the helmet on. I feel protected with the helmet on. The helmet gives me joy and life.
