And no matter what I told her or how professional I tried to be, she just kept yelling and yelling like a moron. Quote

Tyrael Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Confession: I finished Majikoi. Now for my verdict. (Why am I putting it here? Because I don't wanna make a review or blog post with a giant wall of text.)9/10. It was very enjoyable, I like the friendship kinda thing, and the comedy was great too. I only had one problem with it.The serious choices could've been better. It was so easy to avoid the bad ends in all of the routes. The comedic choices were great, but most of the serious ones were not. I would've liked it if some were similar to Momoyo's route choices where you had to think about them.7/10Protag turned into a total doormat during momoyo's route and chris' route was one of the biggest disasters I've ever read. Now that I think about it, chika's route was somehow even worse. Quote

Abyssal Monkey Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Confession: I laugh whenever someone tries to justify something by using a statement with no explanation. Â My favorite one recently is "it's cliched"/"it uses tropes"/"it's unoriginal". I think to myself "great, you've introduced a subject, now where is the evidence, and where is the explanation".I always wondered in sophomore english why our teacher bitched at us about proper use of quotations from a source as evidence. I mean we were always told to introduce the piece of evidence, actually include it, interpret/explain it, then integrate it into our argument as to why it is relevant. Now I understand why. It gets really old really quickly when people don't properly explain things and say something as a simple pretense.Sooooo many reviews on everything never get past the introduction step of "something is bad" and it's the main reason why when looking at any piece of media anymore I look solely at the genre tags it falls under.

Fred the Barber Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 No snow over here.Actually, if it were to snow everything would probably shut down...Snow here is usually at most one or two inches, and you'd think the very apocalypse had arrived by the way everything shuts down and people make a mad run on the grocery store for stuff like bottled water. It happens once every few years, and I've learned to just stay in. Given I have no experience with it, I don't think I'd be especially great at driving in snow, but there are such a vast number of people out here driving around with no clue what they're doing that it'd be dangerous to drive in even if you were an expert and properly equipped.
