Fact is, even if you're right, as long as you don't present evidence to proof that what you said really happened, I have no rational reason to believe that what you say is true. ;D I don't believe anything that isn't solidly backed up. So yes, since the topic seems interesting to me, I will continue to research and find out what's really going on while you go play games. :)

Obviously! Which is why I said I'd leave you to it. So, having a hunch that something is true but not being able to prove it must be quite disheartening for you?

I don't think she never had sex with him but even if it was the case, it's not what is important. He was upset because he had no control over her, she went out with him for the sake of dating or just because he asked and never showed affection for him. He the kind to want to be dominant and "own the female" but he couldn't really have her... hum, I don't know how to say it... emotionally ?

When I talk about her virginity I don't mean this boyfriend in particular, he was quite the douche. She had more than one boyfriend. Which is why I said it's unlikely she was one, she would date and nothing would happen? I dunno, doesn't seem likely to happen in all her relationships.

I'm sure there are plenty of women out there who cheat just for sexual pleasure, and not for intimacy.

Absolutely. I think another reason why women don't do one night stands is the fact that more women leave sexually unsastisfied after such encounters than men. Let's be real, making men orgasm isn't rocket science, in fact some would say it's too easy =P . This isn't the case for a lot of women.

I personally know women who said they had the best sex of their life and they didn't orgasm, only women would fool themselves like this lol. Or perhaps this another one of those "want different things" thing shrug it still does seem awfully sketchy to me but what do I know?

I respect guys who enjoy reading stuff like FF.

Good thing I'm here!

There are no such an instinct that make us uncontrollable

Anti-social disorder (psychopaths) would like to have a word with you. But then again, they are broken from the start.

Oh lordy, "a guy's instinct". If there's one phrase that perfectly sums up the EvoPsych bullshit justifications for what is societally acceptable...

Honestly, guys don't cheat because of biology or w/e. Guys cheat because society has traditionally condoned, if not encouraged such behaviour much more by men than women. The old "guys are playas, girls are sluts" thing, with a side order of "a man has needs!"
while denying that women have any needs at all. But these days you gotta lay a thin layer of semi-scientific justification over it, make it sound legit.

Oh you're absolutely right, although there's clear biological difference between men and women for many things the reality is that society has a greater impact on gender differences. It is but a small speck, which is why many studies shows that men cheat just slightly more than women. Things are changing and people don't buy the "man has needs" thing and rightfully so. The difference, like I mentioned is more on the "when" and "how" then the "who".

I don't have some bestial instinct that make me jump on a women when she open her legs, on the contrary I tend to annoy me. If a women try to seduce me fully aware that I'm already in a relationship, I tend to react very badly. So no I don't have any sympathy for men who cheat (neither do I for women who cheat)

No one here is agreeing which cheating, we're merely exploring the phenomenon.

However I didn't met more men cheating for no real reason than women. I don't think women cheat differently than men. But I do understand why Evilnemesis would said that.

They do, it does increase with age. Why do 40s married men still go for one night stand and youngins while their counterpart go for long term affairs? Because they wisened up and want a more fulfulling relationship, they want better, they know they deserve better. This is what I mean when I say cheating differently, if you ask around or look some things up you'll find that I'm not lying. Like Nez said, it's not biological for the most part but it does not matter where the difference comes from only that it exists for the debate. Unless you want to "fix" the issue of course, which we obviously wont achieve here on the interwebz.

What I don't understand is why people make it a fact that men are bestial being who only follow their instinct... instinct that essentially says WOMEN!! HOT!! SEX!! x)

Because it's true! Err... wat?

This might sound stupid, but maybe, just maybe, she didn't want to, or have never slept with the guy (or any guy), and the guy gets frustrated because his needs are not being met so he cheats on her with another person. I have met this kind of guy so I'm just thinking that maybe that could be the reason. We have assumed that Seol-A might have opened her legs to some guys, but judging from how clueless she is with kyung-woo's intention, and how she easily let a guy inside her apartment, I'm starting to think that she really is just an innoccent girl. But again, I might be wrong.

I did consider it, but at their age would such thing really occur? I think it's just because it's yuri and everytime there's some form of het sex fandoms flip tables. So we will probably never truly know, it will stay vague.
But I have to say that in some panels when she touches No-rae through the series is so sensual and she seems to be able to do it quite easily without blushing or anything. This tells me she knows things, y'know.

As for her cluelessness, it's odd, sometime she's on the ball being quick to discern things but sometimes she's pretty dense. I'm not really sure what to make of it.

The angry ex is another weird moment, from his texts he was clearly quite upset. Maybe she never believed it would end up in a physical altercation. I'm not familiar with Korea so feel free to correct me but I would think using violence, especially on a woman, would be most frown upon by the public at large. Japan is like that, it would explain why she felt relatively safe even though she didn't really want him there.

All in all I don't think she's a virgin but it's not really important for the story.

Being a sceptic is literally part of my job, so it's natural for me to doubt everything, that I haven't researched on my own (which is what I'm doing right now, lol.

I've been on the internet long enough to doubt everything as well. But Im quite friendly with a scan group that message me before that put releases on their blog.

So I'm literally the first person to read and DL, by the time I'm finished most of the time after I'm done and 10 minutes later it's up on mangafox/mangahere what have you. And they aren't mainstream mangas for the most part, there's no reason why some dude wouls be creeping their releases with that speed. It happened too many times to be a coincidence.

But you can go ahead and research all you want while I play games n' all, whatever amuses you =P .

I mostly agree with the He's a moron part. But I don't generalize that men more often cheat that women. Maybe guys cheating are more publicized than women cheating.

Hah! Pay attention to what I wrote, I did not say that men cheat more often than women, merely that men are cheating more often when the relationship is stable a dandy because they can't resist a fine booty. Women cheat differently than men. The ratio is actually much closer to 50/50 than one might think but the situations in which both sexes cheat differs.

It boils down to how one perceives intimacy to be. Why are women less interested in one night stand, why do they hire less sex worker than men? There's many factors but a big one is that women much prefer a strong emotional bond with whom they sleep with. Men cheat and hire for the physical ( we are built more like that) and so they try to fill the void with a cheap form of intimacy, in the end it fleeting and theynshould know better. Women even when they cheat it is usually an affair and not "yo wanna fuck bby?"

I've seen some instances where the women were the ones who temps men to cheat (consciously or unconsciously). What would a guy do if a temptation appeared with that instinct of theirs and the girl gave the green light? -- Grab the opportunity, thus leading to them cheating. It's a guy's instinct to stare if the woman is attractive. It's not like they are cheating if they do that unless there's a physical contact between them. I am not defending the guys that cheat, I am just giving them the benefit of the doubt. But still, you are correct, some guys are really morons.

You've said it yourself "It's a guy's instinct". Your first paragraph and second contradict eachother. How can a group who's more likely to cheat not cheat more? But I get what you were trying to say.

PS: are you a guy? If so, you know more than me then :P

Yes I'm an invader around these parts descecrating the purity of all that is yuri!

Of course there is a season 2. Darker Than Black - Ryuusei no gemini, a 12 episode season and sequel of Darker Than Black - Kuro no keiyakusha. Do your research before you post.

I repeat, there is no season 2. We do not speak of it.

Highly doubt that.

Do not doubt it, there's a reason why many scan group won't allow you to get access to their content if you don't make an account ( sometimes you even have to make another acoount the forum as well ).

In the end it's not really that much protection since you only need to "I'm not a robot" once.

You've not seen the women I've seen x)

Oh I'm well acquainted with those kind, I've used them to my immediate satisfaction when I was at my lowest. This is why I said in general. But I know you understood =P .

But why cheat on her?

Combination of simple factors.

• He's a guy, men cheat way more often when nothing is terribly wrong in the relationship. It's a generalization but is true for the most part. Most women that cheat on their partner is because of over time neglect in the romantic department. How often will you see a guy get the "What the fuck were you thinking" talk?

• He's a moron

• Subconsciously or conciously he felt the "distance" she puts between herself and others including her boyfriends and acted upon it.

Mostly he's a moron.

It's a fanart of one of my OTPs: Mina x Yoko from Darker Than Black season 2.

There is no season 2.

So who uploaded the scanlated Chapter 15 on MangaFox?

Maybe they forgot about that note this time or whoever uploaded it on MF just removed it and put it up anyway, but I'm pretty certain Herin and Rie never meant for their version to be uploaded on MF and I also think that YP's version will be significantly better in terms of quality.

MF uploads aren't manual for the most part, the beast searches on its own..

Keyword: certain. In most first world countries, it's not weird to park a perfectly fine car in a garage. In Korea, it's not weird to park a perfectly fine car in a garage. FF takes place in Korea.

I only meant that people should not jump on someone and go "hurr durr u r dumb foreal" because he/she is not familiar with something. Now I know because a previous poster last week kept talking about plot devices and realistic/unrealistic somd have been on edge but the way sachii has been jumped was uncalled for, it was a mundane statement and he/she was only inquiring about something he/ she clearly wasn't familiar with.

It's like I was watching a pack of hyena go ham on a weak prey, or like manga/manwha girls going ham on a single other girl.

I was legit taken aback. That poster also felt the need to apologize which in my mind should of been the reverse, sachii should of been apologized to.

Why do people assume when a car is in the garage, it means it's not drivable? Thats just ridiculous (again)

In certain parts of the world it would be the contrary.

Because it's probably my third favorite game ever

Well this is a bit awkward.

Uh-oh

OP brother is OP. I have to say that I'm confused why so many people are talking about DMC4 special edition. The game itself was pretty bad.

Not being ultra optimistic, but it's gonna be better than Cross Ange, at least.

What are you saying, Cross Ange was awesome. Ange being a socipath was incredible to watch.

Has anyone seen this ? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QoZ0AEIlm8E/VDp8kwjb5qI/AAAAAAAAC-M/CclrF7Eszrg/s1600/urawa.png A generic black haired guy won't pop up out of nowhere and steal the MC's heart in the middle of the episode? Is it safe ?

Urawa no usagi

The bunny is male and the girls are his harem.

even straight guys would get bait with arslan.

I can safely say that it is not the case.

why there isn't more subtext yaoi anime when they obviously sell?

Seraph anime is selling? It's pretty standard and mediocre.

As for yaoi subtext/bait... Well studios tend to try to not overflow the market. Fujos have a strong buying power but they tend to pick 1-2 shows each season to throw money at. If stuff like utapri or Basugays is airing... Your yaoi show isn't going to perform.

In any case I think the fujobait is doing better with Arslan pretty boy and his party of 10 feet bara gorillas officers this season.

I just can't enjoy most gag mangas, am I the only one? Especially if the sexual innuendo spam ones.

Now back to Hiroaki Samura's incredible art

why friendship in anime/manga gay as hell!

Check out Seraph of the End, totally yaoi let me tell ya!

Mikaela ot w/e it is.... Is the most thirsty mofo ever, too bad Yuu ain't interested.

It's really hard to judge the combat in the demo, action RPGs normally don't get a deep combat system like action games from the likes of Devil May Cry or Ninja Giaden, so it really depends a lot on the enemies, Kingdom Hearts II FM is great on Critical Mode because they can hurt a lot so you have to watchout for the enemies patterns and your surroundings and can create quite the experience Unless you're over leveled of course but the enemies in FFXV are all cannon fodders, i do like the Behemoth fight but the normal enemies doesn't do it, hoping that things gets more complicated later on and that there's a difficulty setting

I really meant that the game was harder than it should because everything felt slow and clunky. Now, obviously it was pretty easy but the difficulty was not from the gameplay itself and that's bad. Other thing was the camera and lock on system, KH did it great too. But this demo? An aberration is what it is.

I agree, JRPGs never known for great combat, that's why people prefer(ed) turns. It's harder to fuck up. Just make complex crafting and other out of combat stuff and people love it. Xenoblade a great example of combat done right. It's wasn't a game you could spam X like many JRPGs, chaining status ailment was the only way you could actually kill things at any decent rate, even regular mobs.

Also, since FFX HD sold well, where is my FF XII HD announcement Square Enix?

This is also why i hate WoW clones MMORPGs compared to befoere-Eden Ragnarök or even dare i say Tibia, they had a great sense of adventure that goes far beyond a NPC telling you he'll give you loot for being a errand boy

...Damn i really miss Tibia, ran through so much silly stuff playing that, shame it's gone to shit now.

JRPGs won't really have that much diverse questing really, they simply don't employ enough writers to be able to schieve that. Plus Nippon devs usually only like story for the main story if you will because it "distract" from the plot. As if random romance + save the world was that important lol. Oh well, it is the land of the waifus afterall.

Aw maan, couldn't it be Level 1 Balthier-only?

Edit: Actually i think i should compliment FFXV's demo on handling the open world thing, there's no side quests as in an npc telling you to do stuff, but you find across the world the Phantom Swords through your own exploration and you get rewarded with more abilities that change the game, you even get a summon, it's more akin to finding hidden itens in Metroid that i love so much, hope the full game is filled to the brim with those

I might go for it another time, but 2015 looks like s bigger gaming year for me. It's hard to replay old games especially if it's that time consuming. Plus I hate Balthier cause he has Fran, it's just unfair y'know? Don't mind my lonely self : ( .

IIRC the way you obtain the swords in the demo was just for the demo. I assume the summon one shot was also to make things faster, I could be wrong though.
I'm a tadbit scared for FF XV from the combat. Now I know that they said the combat was basically at 50% and I suspect the demo was released purely for players to judge the combat.
But it was still a mess, it felt clunky as hell.
Noctis and his MP just meant him going into statis or you just no doing anything but left click was atrocious. Short sword was basically useless because pushback, can't follow anything too because of range. Hitboxes were pretty bad, didn't fit models very well aside from soldiers. Collision... Pls SE there's a reason why most MMO turn off collision it's because it is retarded. At the very least turn it off when not in combat so I don't get stuck trying to get to point B when dudebros are just staying in my way and won't move.

The "exploration" we do in the main story was indeed great, i loved the fuck out of that setting and each new area was always a wonder, but the exploration we do from the quests all comes down to find a certain enemy type and kill X number of them, it is kind of nice to see the places we don't get to see just by following the main story, there's some good 3 "new" areas as soon as Colony 9, but there's so much "go kill X monsters" and "find Y item" that the variation ceases to exist very soon, i've been dedicating a good 5 hours on doing quests in a new savefile after i finished it and didn't even get to the second star of Colony 9

My cousin is pretty hyped up for the game so he explained me some stuff like how there's a bunch of faction in X and that they have different type of quests and that does seem pretty promising, it'll just depend on how many of those will not be "go to this location on the map and do this thing"

I think you just don't like grinding, open worlds are always goin to suck if that's the case. Unless the main story can be rushed through like Skyrim and many other games.

I think RPGs that have a lot of post-game content that cuts the main story is the best of both worlds when it comes to satisfying as many players as possible.
Also all your worries don't matter because transforming mechs, do you understand? It's flying mechs, nothing comes close.

In other news I've finally finished my Level 1 Vaan-only playthrough. It was a long journey mostly because I did not use the help of the internetz.

I still have my doubts about Monado Chronicles X that i just can't shake away, the previous game was really great but the quests and exploration in that game kind of sucked ass and this time around they seem to be the main focus of the game
Well, if everything goes wrong at the very least i'll still be content with Sawano's bitching soundtrack

But the incredible amount of details and lore from exploring and questing was what made the game so great.

It's becoming more and more apparant that I'm going to have to buy a Wii U.
