Hatoful Kareshi Part 4 and Pigeon Postbox

[davidn]

Two videos tonight! One is a chapter of Hatoful Kareshi featuring everyone's favourite racist aristocratic git, and the second is a special treat in one of my more egregious examples of completely overdoing things.

I have to mention that xaq is doing as good a job as ever at translating the manga into visual novel form - I was massively confused by the sudden visit to the Twilight Zone this week where nothing makes any sense, but it turns out that the manga is even less coherent than that. I'm no longer sure what to think about anything.

So tonight, we generously repaid Xaq by causing him near-death from hyperventilation. This is an improvisation game that I sprang on everyone after finishing the chapter, where two pairs of victims performers are given a scenario and have to construct letters by alternating words with each other. It took a couple of rounds to find our feet (and I've edited out some thinking time a bit!) but by the third round... amazing things happened.

I just realised—would that have been Sakuya’s first direct communication with Nageki? :O (Which just makes me like "Dear Mister Library" that much more.... Pidgeworth wildly misunderstanding the nature of this ghost that everyone's talking to....)

Mister Library sounds like a 1950's educational film anthropomorphic protagonist. Maybe he and Mr. DNA are cousins.

You're absolutely right, though he didn't realize it... it's incredible how so much that we do in these videos just falls into place in the most unexpected of ways.

and, was that intro jingle Postman Pat XD

[davidn]

Of course! Hence the rather ugly font, as well.

I still can not believe this was a thing.

I'm not the least bit surprised; I recall seeing a skit very similar to this on "Who's Line Is it, Anyway?" a few times, only they were writing songs instead of letters.

For example... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIUcr9W7A4M)

[davidn]

Oh, wow - I saw that on one of the recent episodes, as well. To be able to do it on the fly in song form is just incredible.

Oh yeah, just in case anyone still wanted to see it...
