Does your workplace disapprove of topless dudes, with their pants unzipped showing part of their underwear, lying on a bed?

Dudes? These are men
Haha yeah, I can just imagine him going "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING?!" at Dan a lot.

Men with well defined upper bodies too!
There's a weirdly prolific amount of otome games (basically visual novels for women) coming out recently.
That's a good thing innit?

Sure! I welcome trashy romance stories for all genders and sexualities.
Also the artstyle in neverending nightmares is fantastic.

Neverending Nightmares looks nice and the music is cool but nothing in there was particularly scary. I wonder if that's the stuff that guy actually saw while he was depressed. If that's what was in my mind all the time that'd be a huge bummer though.

Just fyi, neither Dan nor Jeff are anime editors. That's Brad's job.
Dan just likes anime a lot, there's a difference.
The games sounds good and I plan on getting it on Black Friday, so I don't need to watch the QL. It would just make lament the end of the Vinny + Brad combo even more.
Bwhahahahahaha
Bought
and even gifted a copy to DTL because I'm a nice guy
I welcome our trashy VN overlords on steam

My mistake. I should correct it to resident otaku Dan Ryckert and anime editor Brad Shoemaker.
Maybe make a feature like Loveline with Dan.
I do think this game has some potential though.

These are games made for girls. Something that doesn't exist in America. lol

Made for women. From what I've seen the japanese mainstream still treats homosexualism as a joke but there is a pretty large group of women who are really into homosexual men.

Just like women here. It's just that no one makes games for them.
I mean, there's Stephen Colbert x John Stewart slash fiction. Heck, I bet there's some GB slash fiction somewhere in the dark corners of the interwebs.

Well, that explains Japan's birth rate issues.
Really? That is interesting and quite progressive.
Maybe that and all their porn seeming to involve reluctant crying women.
In Japan, when it comes to visual novels, do they have the cultural standing as say adventure games in the west, or is it more niche than that?
I grew up playing adventure games, but always found it odd that more developers didn't try tapping into a similarly narrative-focused game instead of puzzles at their core, and without the perviness, until quite recently with stuff like Gone Home and even Telltale's recent style.
I know that direction is literally hitler for a some people, but it acts as a fantastic gateway drug and can be played on almost anything.

Yes, Vinny mentioned on the second PC build stream that they were talking about something like that.
edit: One Demo Derby and two QLs tomorrow? Sogood.gif
Let the girls have some fun, too.

Well, it's weird. Many of them start off as "adult" games on the PC, then get censored and released to a bigger audience on consoles/handhelds, at which point the more popular ones become bigger multimedia projects.
Fate Stay/Night and Steins;Gate are probably the most recent examples, but there are countless others.
They also vary wildly in terms of how they incorporate game systems. Some games have complicated systems that might as well make them RPGs, while others are just choose your own adventure type games.
There's also plenty that don't have any choices at all.

This is why no one likes GB Flyover.
Once again the main GB has the right opinion, in that theyre both crap

You leave Vinny alone!
This is more out there than anything Dan has ever said.
Thinking all the LotR films are terrible is way out there.

Nope.

I bet Patrick was a Harry Potter movie guy
oh come on, i'd say there's a relatively common opinion
the books are so different, it depends on what you're looking for. liking the hobbit more is a totally valid opinion

The first Hobbit movie reminds me of the best LOTR film, Fellowship. But naw, nothing from the hobbit has been better than LOTR, but the films also aren't as terrible as many make them out to be. I've had fun with them and really look forward to the last one later this year.
But I've never read any of the books so my opinion is probably turd juice.

It's way out on the extreme end of popular opinion, along side people who think Goodfellas, TDK and The Empire Strikes Back are bad movies.

Btw did jason worked at game informer too with Dan? I think i heard Jason recorded a feature with Dan at GI or something like that.
I didn't know that was what you meant by "way out there". But sure, it's probably not the popular opinion. Those tend to be terrible.
Yeah, they worked at GI together.

I don't think Patrick is talking about the books.
Edit: I guess he's talking about the books?

He was talking about the book. Which unlike the Hobbit movies is a tight piece of fiction, unlike the bloated movies.
He said it while referencing not wanting to watch anymore of the movies, he likes the Hobbit book more than LOTR's and even he cant stand the latest movies.
yes he was
it was in the middle of a discussion about how he thinks the hobbit movies suck and he's disappointed by it
"Games" is a stretch. I just hope people realize that visual novels make for the worst quick looks.

Interesting, either it was a coincidence Dan and Jason ended up in giant bomb or they both left GI together for giant bomb.
I doubt it was a coincidence. Maybe Dan can pop into this thread and give us the answer.
