    Man that sucks. Have you emailed them about it?

    I see, HTC makes great phones, so I thought maybe they had good tablets too. I'll check they LG one out.

    Me and my sister-in law went half and half to buy my brother a iPad Pro for Christmas. Cost $1,000 WTF!!!! Who wants a Tablet that huge anyway, just get a Laptop :dead:

    Still no info when they will ship it out?

    I have a iPad Air, but I'm not a huge Apple fan. Only use it cause my brother got it for me as a Christmas present a few years back.

    I like LG and HTC more then Samsung, so I will see if they have any Tablets that I like.

    If it makes you feel any better, still no Kirino figure for me, and worse, I have no fucking clue where it's at :( Mandarake emailed me about it but I couldn't understand what they were saying. Not trying to be mean or rude, but if they decide to ship internationally then they need to hire at least one person that knows how to speak English. International language and all.

    Getting a few games, probably a new TV and a few pairs of new shoes. Maybe a Android Tablet as well.

    And thanks for the birthday wishes! Got a few gift cards for my birthday. Saving them for "Black Friday" which is this week. Everything is on discount that day!

    I see, thanks for the list man, I will check them out. Getting into VN's lately after Kana, and Crescendo.

    I wanted to replay Crescendo since Kana got me kinda depressed again. I did the school nurse route last night, they went on a date to see a movie. Guess what movie it was? Kana! I forget it was made by the same company lol :deadsad: The MC cried during the movie lol.

    Downloaded this last night since it sounded pretty good. Apparently I have to play the prequel first though. http://www.mangagamer.com/detail.php?product_code=139

    BTW. You probably played way more VN's then I have (I only played a handful) so do you see any from this list that you recommend? My preference is a good, well told story. http://erogedownload.com/downloads/ Sorry I know your busy and all :deadsad:

    Just replayed Crescendo which was my 2nd VN after Kana. Made by the same company. It's also a old game, but good IMO and has voice overs. I like all the girls routes. But probably Yuka and his Oneesan the best. http://erogedownload.com/downloads/crescendo/

    No problem, got the day off today since it's my birthday, no doing much just gonna chill and go out with the family for a birthday dinner later.

    Yeah, I figured you might like Onii-chan more lol, just thought I'd tell you before you start, so it's better if you play the remake then.
    T-ELOS
    Also, sorry for going on and on about "Kana This" Kana That" I'm just in Kana mode again I guess, playing it again after all these years. Brings back memories.

    But one last thing I forgot to mention. One reason why many people prefer the remake. In the remake since it has Voice Overs Kana refers to her brother as "Onii-chan" but in the original translated version since they had no voice overs they translated Onii-chan to Bro. So in the original Kana calls her brother "Bro" instead of "Onii-chan" Don't know if that bothers you or not (it didn't to me because I played Kana before I even heard the word Onii-chan) but many people prefer the remake for that reason.

    Yeah she looks good, only issue I have is her lipstick. Don't like it too much. Other then that it looks great. Love the little wolf puppy also lol.

    Been reading some Kana fanfics lately. Not official but still very good. The biggest issue people have with the VN is that none of the endings are really happy, they all are just sad, or kinda just end without explaining what happens later. So the fanfics are good. Just avoid ending 3 (Yumi Route) worst ending ever.

    BTW, I'm probably pre-ordering Dead or Alive Extreme 3 for PS4. The Asia version since it has English subtitles. Tecmo said it most likely won't receive a western release, and if it does it will be a bit tuned down and edited for the western audience. Fuck that! I'm getting the unedited English version. Gonna have Hitomi and Marie Rose double team in beach volleyball lol. Extreme 1 on the original Xbox was actually a VERY good volleyball game.

    Well I had the day off today so I decided to replay the original Kana. I did the route that made me cry before, I didn't cry this time but I am super depressed :( Why did I do this to myself? :baby:

    Need to watch something lively and happy now, so going back to watch Oreimo. Hopefully that will pick my spirits up again

    BTW, you will probably hate me for this, but after replaying the original Kana again, I think you should play the remake first. While I do like some of the artwork in the original Kana better, I also think some of the artwork in the remake is a lot better as well. Some scenes in particular I was like "man, this looks way better in the remake, and vice versa" Only thing I noticed about the remake is that they get some things wrong, like Kana should be talking and it says her brother is talking instead, but that only happened once or twice, and occasionally the translation seems a bit funny, but again that's rare. Overall I admit it's a good remake (besides the animated sequences in H-Scenes, you will know what I mean when you see them) Sooooo, maybe you should play the remake first.


    P.S. I just found out the remake, while it looks good, is pretty old as well. It was released in 2004 in Japan!! I didn't even know! But the English Translation was just this year, 11 years later lol. Well, that happens I guess. Had to buy it as soon as I heard about it though. Also they have a PSP game (H-Scenes removed) I'll buy it if it gets a English translation. Doubtful though.

    Thanks! I'll download it soon.

    BTW, I believe the route that made me cry in Kana was: ENDING 5 - Memories (Intellectual Route 2)

    The first time I played it I didn't have a sympathy for Takamichi's (The MC's, Kana's brother) girlfriend on this route, but I recently played it again and felt so bad for her, he kinda treated her like shit since he was confused for his feelings for his girlfriend, and for his sister. Even on the true route I feel sorry for her (1st route)

    When I first played I was like "yay, he finally got rid of her so he can concentrate on taking care of his sick sister", but when I recently played again I felt terrible for her. Even though his priority should've always been Kana.

    Anyway, I'll stop talking about the game, don't wanna spoil it all lol.

    Well, I guess it's up to you which to try first, just keep in mind you will probably rofl when you see the H-scenes in the remake. It's not a terrible remake, I just think the game deserves better, but it's up to you. Maybe I judged it a bit too harshly since I was expecting more lol. Like I said Kana had a special place in my heart since it was my first ever VN, so maybe I had unrealistic expectations of the remake. But it's not terrible. I guess look at both videos and play the one that you think has better artwork.

    I think part of it also is since I treasure the original so much, maybe I didn't like the change, so maybe I'm giving a biased view to the remake. Kind of like if they remade your special VN. You might have mixed feelings about it, on one hand you might welcome the fact that it's getting a special upgrade with new art and voice overs, but on the other hand maybe you don't want anyone messing with your first, special VN, and you want it to forever remain how you first played it. That's kinda how I feel. So play whichever you decide first as I'm probably a bit biased to the remake... Sorry...

    Anyway, Hope you like them though.
    T-ELOS
    Nice I will try it out. Where can I download that VN at?

    Let me know if the downloads work, and if you are able to install the games.
    T-ELOS
    Again, about the Kana game, unless you HAVE to play with voice overs, I would go with the original, better in every way, especially the art the the horrendous H-Scenes in the remake :/. The remake has animated H-scenes, but it looks like a drunken money made them, so sad for a classic like this. Also I noticed a few errors in translation and text in the Remake.

    Again, remember while Kana was somewhat revolutionary in it's time for telling a great story in a adult VN, it's almost 20 years old now, so it might feel old and dated by today's standards, but Kana had a lot of influence in many VN's that came after.

    You might have a lot more experience with VN's then me, so you might not cry in the Route I was talking about, but this was the first VN I ever played, I cried and was super depressed for like a month :deadsad:

    And I still rock the opening theme (The song in the video) on my phone. Love it. Especially the guitar. Brings back the memories of when I first played it.

    love Marie Rose with the black hair! Getting a few of those! Which ones you getting?
    T-ELOS
    Of course, I'll link it to you in a bit. Honestly I like the original better, has better artwork in my opinion, and the H scenes in the remake are awful, but thr game was never about that, more about the story but still, if it wasn't for the voice overs I would say play the original since it's better in almost every way. I will link you both. Now, don't judge the game too harshly, remember that it's very old, I played it about 10 years ago (my first ever VN, probably why it holds such a special place in my heart) but it was released way back in 1999, so it might not be up to modern standards, but the story is still very good. However, a lot of VN's and anime that came after Kana and dealt with similar issues have given inspiration for Kana for their ideas. It was one of the first adult VN's that proved you can have a great story too.

    Not every route made me cry, just one. The route in which you decide on a relationship with Kana so she can experience life the last few months she has to live, WHY DID IT END LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    here is the original artwork in comparison, far superior imo. They should make a patch that adds the Voice overs from the remake to the original :deadsad:
