Bay 12 Games Forum

I've been watching Maria Holic (finally finished Higurashi, yay for me!) and I like it.
Who would think a show about a lesbian and a sadistic crossdresser would be so damn funny.

The scariest things are the unknown ones, I agree.
Every horror game/show/movie tends to make the same mistake; they tell you too much about the monsters/murderers/whatever. It isn't scary if you know what it is.
Think about it, why is a horror "whatever" scariest at the beginning, almost always? Because you only vaguely know what your up against.

Even though I don't like games where you are timed, this sounds interesting, similar to a game I was thinking out a month or so ago.

Well, sleep paralysis only involves not being able to move, right? No searing agony or such? So if you know what it is, it goes from "OH GOD WHAT IS GOING ON" to "Oh wait I guess I have sleep paralysis. This is pretty weird."

I'm late to the party, so what?


Anyway, it's not quite like that.
When somebody quickly wakes you up in the middle of sleep, are you fully coherent? I would say most likely not. So your not really aware it's just some weird thing.
I've had sleep paralysis like at least twenty times (every time with hallucinations of all the things I fear most, fun) and it's not exactly pleasant. Nowadays I can just shrug it off and go back to sleep (must be all the practice) though.

Still, ain't it fun when you wake up in the middle of the night and see (and feel, sometimes you can actually feel them too) a hand grabbing your foot and pulling you under you bed?

He's right, the hallucinations when you're sleep-paralyzed/LDing during very light sleep can be terrifying, even if you know they're not real.

Ironically, I got hit by it five times consecutively this morning after I woke from a nightmare.
Do you know how annoying that is? Every time I fought off one, another one started up.

many of the tropes of anime

Well there you go.

Anime without anime tropes isn't anime. Just like a movie, no matter how good, has movie tropes. It's inevitable. I think it avoids most of the terrible ones though, like filler sagas and lazy animation.

Exactly.  It's anime.  I don't watch anime.

Why? I can see not liking most anime but there are some generally good and even great anime.

Because anime is uncool and he is obviously too cool to watch something uncool.

You do these well mate, each one has made me laugh pretty hard.
Proceed.

Everything is going to burn, until the Toad rain hits.

Man, that was such a sweet show. Hei is like the asian Batman on crack.

Electric Asian Batman on Crack. I just watched Darker than Black recently too. Pretty damn entertaining, I'll give it that. I'll be honest though, I'm not 100% sure what the deal was with that last episode.

Episode 26?
