Hypothetical Situation Survival Guide; Or, how I learned how to avoid having one's life become a video game.

This is intended specifically for guys. Sorry ladies, but you're out of luck. Or maybe in luck, depending on how you look at it.

If you're ever dating a girl and are drinking in a bar, and a random hot chick sits down and starts hitting on you, ASK HER HER NAME. If it's pronounced the same as your girlfriend's, RUN. Even if you are too drunk to know which way is up, ASK THIS QUESTION. Otherwise you will end up doing things you will forever regret and experiencing terrifying nightmares for the rest of your most-likely short life. Be extra careful if the bartender in said bar is a semi-old dude who wears shades indoors. That's never a good sign.

I've been watching Let's Plays. E-cookie to anyone who can figure out the inspiration for this.

Uhh... There isn't one >< I didn't make this up myself, it's the plot for a game that I just summarized. I was wondering if anyone was going to recognize where exactly I pulled this from. Sorry, Lenna.

What's even more interesting is Vincent's and Yuri's VA are one in the same... >w>

Pretty much... I want to play Catherine... but I don't think it's worth the 60 dollar price tag. Maybe 40, but not 60.

Vincent and Yuri have the same VA?! I can't believe I hadn't notice4d that yet... And I want to play it too, although I'd most likely just rent it. The bigger problem is that I'm bad at platformers, and utterly terrible at puzzle games. And of course, Catherine just HAS to be a combination of the two... >< Also, Vincent's a very nice departure from most game heroes. OTher games try to make their main heroes seem badass, even if it's a weird emo-badass (looking at you here, Cloud and Squall). But Vincent's just the unluckiest schmuck I've ever seen in a game... or anywhere for that matter.

I have a quote from Liam o'Brien, who I think voice directed the game... Something about changing the lines so Laura Bailey(voicing Catherine) could assault Troy Baker more realistically XD

EDIT: Fine, fine, whatever. I guess that shoots down me linking to the actual Let's play then...

I want to play this... Very badly. But I have to wait till this weekend to rent it, or all I'll be able to think about during my psych test on Friday is how dangerous it would be to try and give Catherine therapy...

; ; At least the game you want to play is out already! I still gotta wait for Skyrim and the Old Republic... This week is going to be very long... But anyway...

>.> Any other situational references you wish to make Tress? Even I knew that was Catherine you were talking about, I don't even know a lot about it AND I'm not that interested in getting it ^^ I mean I'd definitely play it if I got my hands on it but I'm not looking into it currently.

Nope. I'm just a (most likely) temporary Catherine nut. I rented the game today because my best friend wanted to play it, and he doesn't have a 360 or PS3. He beat everything up to and including Stage 5 in six hours.

Hiding spoilers, courtesy of Lenna

WOOO! Finally beat Catherine! And it took me less than ten hours to do O.o Maybe next time I should try it on a difficulty that ISN'T The secret easiest one available...

You're calling me a cheater? ME?

I believe the term is more appropriately used to refer to this guy

It's one of the best games I've ever played, and possibly the single best non-RPG I've ever played. Although I really don't see why it's labeled a horror game; I tend to get creeped out pretty easily, but I thought this game was way funnier than it was scary. I'd say that for anyone who likes puzzle games, PLAY IT. If you don't really like puzzle games but want an engaging and entertaining story, PLAY IT ANYWAY. It's an awesome game.

Geez, I played it on normal my first time through, and it was fine. Took me more than 10 hours though O.O. I loved the game through and through and the two bosses tressy mentioned that would be scary still give me nightmares. But uh....I got to go....but you can't come with me because.....uh....I've got REALLY bad diarrhea.

..... I was going to counter Tress's statement of best single player RPG ever with the simple phrase of "Skyrim" but.... Senel.... God dang it boy. TOO MUCH INFO!
