Roundabout seems fine to me. I think a "silent protagonist" is a funny idea but the execution is kinda lacking. Don't know if it's a lack of expressiveness on the actress' behalf or just the dead air during those shots but I'm not feeling that part. Less would have been more. But yeah, I love Kururin so I'll probably check out Roundabout.

I just...I love that Dan basically asumed that Danny sat alone in a room and talked to himself in different voices while playing Hatoful Boyfriend.


Really once somebody's told you that they've beaten a pigeon dating simulator 8 times, you have to roll with the punches. Whatever condition Danny played those games in was believable and probably preferable to what Dan had in his mind.

She should have made non-verbal sounds instead of being silent. There's a reason Harpo had his horns and such. Complete silence just doesn't work.

What is Alex on about?
It's a pisstake of more gamergate bullshit.

Some nutjob has found a "secret mailing list" of the "gaming journalism elite" and tried to imply the industry is rigged by a small influential circle. Shocker, people working in a small industry talk to each other.

Oh I see, I still don't have interest about any of this stuff.

EDIT: Hmm, the list guy is followed by some prominent personalities and UK government branches.

The podcast made me realize I was pronouncing Mojang wrong all this time.

I guess the first time I ever read it, I mistook it for Mahjong, and my brain just refused to correct it.

If anyone's curious as to how Dan died in Hatoful Boyfriend, I went frame by frame in the video for this:

I suspect that this game is pretty dark under the goofy trappings.

Hahah, I thought about doing that. Awesome man, I love this stuff. Does anyone know more about this game? It definitely seemed like something was "off" about it. You know, aside from the pigeon stuff.

Apparently there's a bonus story you can unlock that explains what's actually happening in the game.

MAJOR HATOFUL BOYFRIEND SPOILERS, I guess.

Edit: I just read the Bad Boys Love stuff, and man, it gets super dark... like... almost Danganronpa with pigeons... except way darker in some aspects.

I've been watching Danny's videos and looking at the Wiki page for the synopsis. It's a good deal funnier sine they're edited shorter for the first few. Danny does all the voices of the pigeons, it's hilarious.

Here are some links:

Part 1

Part 2

Hatoful Boyfriend: Christmas Chapter 1

Hatoful Boyfriend Christmas Chapter 2

Hatoful Boyfriend Christmas Chapter 3 (2 hour long)

HAtoful Boyfriend Christmas Chapter 4?

Hatoful Boyfriend Last episode (1 hour long)

There are two or three games, Danny covered two: Hatoful Boyfriend and Hatoful Boyfriend :Christmas. The latter has 4 chapters which are self contained stories. It's bonkers.

EDIT SPOILERS FOR BACKGROUND STORY:
There is a bird flu virus that kills off most off the human population in the late 21st century. But it also has the side effect of increasing the intelligence of pigeons and evolving them ala Planet of the Apes. Humans are now in the remnants relative to pigeons and live in a apartheid state where pigeons are the superior race.

I did not expect that. It really makes me want to play the game.

Assuming that it's the same playthroughs, isn't it just easier to watch it on The GB Unarchived channel? I know that not all of those full playthroughs have been archived on GS.

isn't that clearly a goose, not a duck

Yup.

I've enjoyed a couple of the 2D ones, and I think I even beat Oracle of Seasons , but I've yet to get past a handful of hours in any of the 3D ones. I don't find them fun.

yeah, I tried Wind Waker HD several months ago and kind of hated it lol.

...am I the only one who doesn't like Zelda games?

I think I completed Ocarina on the N64, but yeah, they're the type of games that seem incredibly well made but I have no interest in playing.

Aside from Wind Waker that is. Love the art style, will get around to it eventually.

I wonder what happened to the Hyrule Warriors QL. I feel like we're in a exclusive club having seen it.

...am I the only one who doesn't like Zelda games?

A Link to the Past might be my favourite game of all time, and I've never been as blown away by a game like when I played Ocarina at the time, which puts that game in my top 5. I'm a fan of the modern games too, but neither Wind Waker, Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword would come anywhere near my most beloved games. I recognize that Wind Waker especially is a fucking amazing game, but I dunno, maybe I got a bit tired of the franchise or something.

Twilight Princess is the only mainline Zelda game I don't look back on very fondly though, that game always felt like a slog to me even if it had some pretty amazing moments.
