    Heya,

    Firs, sorry it took me so long to reply. Been kinda busy and..kept forgetting it :x
    I've checked and the progress percentage is the same as the project homepage. It's still going to take a while as only the common route is at 93%. The rest is still untouched.. =(

    Ah..now it makes sense to me..I was kinda confused when I saw those terms. I felt stupid not knowing so I just had to ask :3

    I know, I've seen the prices ranging from around $22 to a whopping $80. I know they're expensive but I'd love to have a physical copy of at least one of those books.
    Oh, it's an Art book. I'm not well-versed in manga/doujinshi/artbook so I assumed it's doujinshi. I should take the effort to look up the difference between them..

    There's just one little thing that bothers me of most of her arts. There's pretty much always text covering the character which I don't like like.
    I prefer images with nothing covering the character. Everything else around is fine.
    There's this one I really like but it has Izumi's autograph covering her arm.

    It bothered me so I gave it a shot to 'restore' it.

    It's my first time doing it so..what do you think?

    Dakimakura's huh..Too bad I'm not much a fan of those. I might get one of Izumi's art printed though, probably A3 or A2 size :3
    But commissions would be great!

    I know..kinda makes me sad..oh well :3

    Yea, according to Fuwanovel's site info, Mashiro-iro's Translation progress is at 13%. But I don't when this was last updated so it might be a little bit more than that.
    I can't wait..at all xD It's gonna take a while though.. 3 times huh? It must be good then ^^

    Hmm..I see.. Well, I'll give the game a try and see if I feel like playing through all of it. I just hope it's the slightest bit better than the anime adaptation..
    It's these type of anime need nee more than 12/13 episodes (more like 20 to 24) to be interesting/good. It doesn't turn out well if everything's crammed up in such a short amount of time.

    Uhmm..probably an odd question..but I'm really not familiar with the terms 'SakuSaku' and 'KoiSaku' so what do they actually stand for?. It's probably short for something I know but still kinda confusing :x

    Yea, I'll tell you whenever I find something new :3
    I am actually considering buying Colorful Pop Vol. 13 of eBay, it looks nice and it'll be my first ever Doujinshi :3
    Checkmate
    Ohh, no pressure, feel free to reply whenever you're free to do it. I just want to say happy birthday~
    unownHGSS
    First, Happy birthday~! Wish you a wonderful day ^^

    I'd love to get ANYTHING with Tsubasu's signature on it o.o
    Can't seem to find anything and if I do..I find it kinda hard to believe it's actually genuine..

    Actually..no..:deadsad: I'm still waiting for the translated version. I can't read Japanese (The Kanji that is..)
    So I'll have to wait for that.. But the main reason I wanna play it is because of Izumi's art. I have seen the anime and it was pretty....bad D:
    I'm sure the VN itself is much better.
    You mean 'Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka' right? Uhmm..didn't know there was a a game of it :0 Seen the anime of it though.

    (Yes, there can never be enough Tsubasu art <3)
    unownHGSS
    OMG YES! I'm not alone! :runhappy:
    I absolutely love Tsubasu Izumi's Artwork <3
    *high fives*

    Hi too :3
    wehasband
    I think I am starting to understand why you hate these individuals so much. People riding the bandwagon because it's the 'in thing' are definitely annoying. The 'in thing' being the banana in the cage in this case. However, I still have to grasp certain keywords to your definition of a weeeaboo.
    Like 2) Unnecessary vocalization of their favors.
    What does the average weeeaboo vocalization sound like?
    By 3) Large amounts of fantasizing--.. I can understand(also from your previous posts) that you view games/anime from a third-person perspective. Never the character, almost as if you are saying that there is a line between fiction and reality and one must avoid mixing the two.

    How do you feel about these topics?

    I never really got started on SAO though. What makes it different, from say, another series with virtual reality gaming as its main element like Accel World? I would really like to hear your opinion on the titles you mentioned.
    wehasband
    I see you've updated your blog, so no problems on this end. One should always have time for good games. Well, I hope they were good.

    Misunderstandings cannot be avoided, so I will gladly take you up on that offer. However, misunderstandings can also bring forth arguments, which even if they might not result in resolution are important for learning. You mentioned Plato earlier, so I hope you also appreciate philosophical arguments. I would like to say in advance that I respect your beliefs and my questions are only tools for comprehension.

    So you admit that it was drive that helped you achieve your current level of skill? Having a similiar language system as your native language greatly helps, I imagine. Kind of like how the Italian and Spanish language share latin roots. I assume you had formal training in English though?
    Also, since we are talking about goal-setting, did you set a time frame for that goal? Was reading enough practice? I am aware learning differs from individual to individual so certain practices work better than others.
    While I've heard of Maplestory, I'm afraid the name is all I know of the title. To be honest, I'm overly cautious of 'popular' MMORPG titles since the genre started flourishing in the early 2000s. I guess I can say the same for manga/anime.
    Here is another question. You said it yourself, the number of eroge on the market can be overwhelming, especially for beginners. You obviously cannot(or want to in some cases) play them all. What affects your choices in picking a title?
    wehasband
    Well, you are a bit right. Who I am does not matter at the moment. Right now I need to satisfy my curiosity in you, in a clean way:p

    Maybe we can touch upon your preference for MMORPGs in the near future. But let's talk about eroge first. Having enough interest in a foreign culture to dedicate oneself to learn its language is something isn't it? For the talented individuals it may come off as something easy, for the hardworking, drive can get the job done. And then there's the issue about one's preference for social interaction. A language is both a means and an end in social activities, ie. Socializing is a practice of learned language.

    By the way you talk about hobbies, you come off as a professional to me. I'd like to hear more about when you started though. How is it different from now?

    I still don't understand your feelings about these "otaku" and "weeeabo" well though. Perhaps a more concrete example should do the trick, from an experience, maybe? Could it be the same as my distaste for the blithe tendency of people to use words that have a much deeper meaning for amusement? I feel that there could be more positive ways to use your talent, but I'm only saying that at this point based on my little knowledge of your feelings and beliefs.

    It may not be flattering to you, but I find some similarities between our percieved personalities, so I feel that I can understand you. For one, I believe in man's potential, the endless possibilities he can choose from. Even the otaku can learn true appreciation of the media he claims to have an obsession with.

    PS. Year-ends are the worst time for me, so I would humbly apologize for my late replies. I appreciate yours, as they have feature more depth and personality than blog posts, which I understand are more guarded.

    At the risk of turning your VM tab into my wall of text I ask you this question:
    What do games mean to you?
