Well today I took my laptop to class. Before class I was showing a few people several games. The type of games everybody can enjoy like Doom 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and the like. After that I showed them the love that dare not speak its name. Bishoujo gaming.
I started it off with something light and nice with Private Nurse and they were awed by the detailed and colorful graphics and Maria’s more Ahem. Noticeable assets. Then I showed them Lets Meow Meow. Instead of looking at the catgirls one guy clicked on one of the saved games and If I remember right it was near or on a sex scene and a very loud MEOW!!! Came from my laptop. The girl on the other side of the class just looked in my direction and I’m pretty sure I just blew any chance I had with her by letting it know then I play B games.
The one that really intrigued people and opened their eyes and got a sort of WEIRD reaction was ironically Kishi Kawaii. One guy said “What? NO HENTAI?! This game isn’t worth playing then” I showed ACTUAL GAMEPLAY And I think that some of them actually got intrigued and may actually look up the game. Though I’m pretty sure that more of them are far more tempted for lets meow meow then the other ones just by judging from the glazed looks on thier faces seeing Mikan naked then any other game. Oh well.
Hopefully I educated and enthralled them into a new genre of gaming. One that they will look at in a few days and say “I just saw Bishoujo.” And hopefully they’ll learn that Bishoujo gaming isn’t just Kitty meowing and saying “It’s so big!” and "I’m so embarassed!"
I’d like to use Divi Dead if it wasn’t for the fact that the sentence “YOU HIT THE SPOT LOVERMAN!” Was inserted at one of the most amusing points in the game.
Perhaps I should reinstall brave soul and show them that bishoujo gaming isn’t just sim or pictures and moaning.
That is my lesson to stirring up interest in bishoujo gaming and maybe just ONE of them will be a Bishoujo gamer in the future.
