You too? Same here! :3 It was the scene where she was in her room with Shirou tied up. After I stopped reading the VN, I immediately started looking for Ilya doujins.

Man, there's so much that makes leveling faster now. For one, the interface has improved so that you can use skills a lot faster (with fletching, you can string multiple bows). And more times than not, lodestones will port you to a more convenient area than runes/items, and it's completely free to use (you just have to activate it). Lastly, exp bonuses are crazy in the game now. If you join a clan and use certain items on clan avatars, you get a 3% exp buff for a week and can set it again when it wears out. There's also an aura that you can activate daily for a 50% exp buff for one hour on any skill. There's specific auras for each skill that do more, but you have to be a member for a while to accumulate points for those auras, so I just got the all-purpose one for now. Occasionally, there'll be weekend periods with double exp. Maxing out every skill is actually a lot more common now than it use to be. Granted, you still have to put in some hours, but it's nowhere near as bad as it use to be. And gold is really easy to make now too. The reason the market use to be so bad was because there were fewer people who could supply certain items. With leveling skills now being as easy as it is now, more people are able to give those supplies out, and the prices have gone down significantly. Probably the worst quirk with market demand in this game was that most valuable items could only be obtained through monster drops or extremely high skill levels. With the new combat system set in place, bosses are significantly easier to farm now, so the supply and demand aspect of those items are a lot more balanced. Another thing with buying items for skilling was that you use to need a lot of them to level up. But if you carefully plan out your exp gains, and utilize them with exp buffs, you won't have to use them as much. With that, the demand for those items decreases, and the market stabilizes. Speaking of combat, slayer is incredible now. Shit dies so damn fast that you're practically blazing through tasks. I don't remember how long it took to kill a Fire Giant with the older combat, but I can take down 170 of them in less than an hour now (with a Zamorak Godsword I bought for 780K). Also, trade is unlimited again. There's a limit to how much you can buy on the GE, but that's to keep merchant clans in check, lol.

That's probably a better range than I have. My best performances are between 3.4 and 3.7, and I can play up to 4.3. But that's perfectly normal. The more proficient you get at playing harder maps, the easier it'll be to get higher performance on easier maps. But with easier maps, the challenge isn't to complete them, but to get the highest combo you can from them. The focus required to get an FC makes it that much harder to acquire than simply completing a harder map (those require more skill than focus). Now, sometimes you'll have those days where you're just completely awesome and can FC harder maps, I've done it a few times as well, lol. But that's not something that happens regularly, and the only way you'll be able to consistently FC maps that are higher than your best performances is to just go for ones that are only somewhat harder. Like I'll literally go and FC maps that are only .01 - .1 star rating higher than my best performance. It's very slow, and very gradual, but it works. Here's another thing I picked up too. You don't necessarily have to spend a lot of time on one map trying to FC it. Your main goal is to build as high a combo as possible within a certain number of tries. Grinding a map for over an hour might be good for PP farming, but it's not necessary for improvement and may even be detrimental. If you fail to FC a map, it's because you're either not use to it, or you have bad habits that are getting in the way. If it's for the former, then you should be able to FC it after a good number of tries, if it's the later, then you'll want to limit your retries and move on to another map. One good way to determine whether it's a habit or not is by looking at your local scores. If your combo is going in a negative trend, then you're messing up out of habit. If you move on to another map with a similar difficulty, then you won't have to worry about that habit getting in the way and you can continue on with your progression for FC'ing maps. But FC practice is only good for getting your mind use to building high combos. You'll still want to balance this out by playing maps that are really hard to play. Edit: You know, my range might be better off if it weren't for my chair situation. I was only just recently able to play 4.3 maps, but I haven't had a good FC in a while. I pretty much broke the handle on my chair (I lean on it way too much) and it's suppose to act as a support for the back. With that out of commission, I'm now using a chair from my dining room table, and it's a little more elevated than I'm use to at my desk. I can still complete harder maps fairly decently, but I still haven't completely gotten comfortable enough to FC maps. But my pay comes in next month and I'll eventually go back to the usual. ^^ Wth? Damn. o.o

Yeah, hentai anime production values are so damn low. Granted, there'll be a good one every once in a while, like Jiburiru, but manga's generally better since the quality depends more on the artist rather than the budget. That and manga has a lot more variety.

Yep. If there's one thing I'm really good at, it's finding maps that'll get you PP. This won't always be the case, but if you can sort out the maps that are easier to FC and have a higher star rating than what's on your best performance list, you'll get PP from FC'ing it. This may be a pain to set it up initially, but making collections for practice maps will make the process a lot easier.

Don't tell them that! People will never leave me alone. ;_;

Okay, I think I may have found something that'll work for ya. I remember coming across this when I was looking for an alternative to the add-on since it was no longer working, but I used the cookie manager for accessing with my own account. With this, you can access EXH with an account already set up. http://howtoaccessexhentai.wordpress.com/2012/03/19/how-to-access-exhentai-org-2012-update/ Just note that when you clear browser cookies, you'll need to import the txt file again, so I'd keep it handy.

Does it really? I don't remember having to wait. Actually, I'm almost positive I didn't have to. You did check for an email verification, right? A lot of websites do require it. Have you tried to log in to the main forum before logging into EXH? Also, I can link to some alternatives for the ones you posted, although they may not be the most desirable. EXH has 3/4 of those translated to English, and one of them is raw. GEH has one translated to English, 2 raw, and 1 Tai (yeah, I hate this site). GEH also forbids loli content, whereas EXH is probably the best source for them. http://g.e-hentai.org/g/722223/177268dbdd/ http://g.e-hentai.org/g/204842/2df6ae7e21/ http://g.e-hentai.org/g/525409/b5e6d60631/ http://g.e-hentai.org/g/50847/c8e0c19537/ And if you guys ever do get into EXH (I really hope you do), try to watch how much bandwidth you use. If you load too many pages at the same time, you may get IP banned.

My brother convinced me to pick Runescape back up. I always valued the charm the game had with its simple point-and-click combat, but the game kinda killed things off for me with EoC. Monsters died faster, but it didn't feel the same. Well, now they've added in a new feature where your abilities are triggered automatically within the 1st 9 slots and you don't have to key them in anymore. The specials and ultimates don't trigger automatically, but I don't mind using only 2 buttons. This game is a lot less frustrating to play than it use to be, and skills level a lot faster too. The quests are still the main enjoyment for me (some of them are even voiced).

Happy birthday, nohman!

Yeah, I was spectating rrtyui while he was going at it. He had some seriously amazing runs for that map. But damn, rrtyui kept retrying for like 2 hours. He even got an S one time, but there was that slider break. -.- The number of spectators was just amazing though, the highest I saw it go to was over 1600. I've gotten a lot better playing HR and DTHR. I'm not sure if they're too easy for you or not, but DTHR with AR6 maps can not only help your aim, but your speed as well. AR10 might be better for aim, just make sure to not focus on just AR10 for too long or it'll be all you can read.

I like how they mix ecchi in with super sentai stuff in Twintails. It's awesome. I seriously love this anime. It's stupid, but so much fun to watch.

Not necessarily, both hentai manga and anime can be discussed here. And we did have a doujin thread that was active at one point, but I think it'd be better to leave that thread alone since it was mainly revolved around hentai doujins and this thread can extend to anime. Not only that, but there were comments on non-doujin hentai manga going on in that thread as well, and having something for general hentai discussion would remove that grey area. Speaking of doujins, I tried looking for one for the new Twintail anime airing this season. Nothing yet, but I guess that's to be expected since it's only been a couple weeks. >.< I can definitely see some good ones coming out for this series though.

I came across a Pokemon/Digimon hybrid doujin and got the idea to look at more Pokemon stuff. Oh man, I never once considered how cute Misty could be in a hentai. http://exhentai.org/g/612448/237a9e7c57/

Oh yeah, I forgot. You could probably try the tablet variation, but that might be harder than mouse.

My fingers actually cooperate better when I only have to use the keyboard. Although I don't really have that much fun playing mania. The only alternative to standard I enjoyed was CTB. Try keyclick! According to cptnXn, that method will make it possible to stream anything really easily, it's just extremely hard to maintain accuracy. I can use keyclick stream accurately at certain BPMs, but slower and faster streams are tricky to do accurately. I am getting better with that, though. At the very least, it's worth trying if you can't stream faster using the regular method.

Nice idea. I guess that when a series gets as popular as it does, waiting a long time to release a sequel can help to build interest over time. Seems like it'd be a successful marketing technique (just a conjecture, I'm far from being an expert at marketing).

How the heck did I miss that? o.o Well, here's mine. Finding a lot of good desktop images through Osu lately.

Found another fun map to HR. Thanks for inspiring the idea, ryouuuuu. I feel like AR6/7 HR will be my sweetspot for practicing for a little while. OMS is a pretty serious condition. You might need some treatment for it.

I finished G-Senjou last night. Absolutely fantastic story overall, and very fulfilling in more than one way. Haru's route turned out to be my 2nd favorite in any VN. Grabbing the download from Mangagamer right now, I'll be starting Kira Kira shortly.
