Animu, Games, Words about Nerdery
I’ve had this entry half-written sitting around in my drafts for months now. I actually went straight on and finished Umineko episode 3 after writing my thoughts on the second one, but never got around to finishing this entry off. Now that Witch-Hunt have released the full patch for episode 4 I thought I’d dig this entry up and complete it prior to commencing play through the next installment.

It’s amusing to go back to what I wrote a few weeks ago after playing the first episode, and see just how completely wrong I was. Since I’ve now finished episode 2, I thought I’d continue where I left off, with a ton of comments and speculation. And a hell of a lot of unresolved questions. Episode 2, as expected, asks more questions than it answers - and the answers it did give I’m not sure about, either. Anyway, same as last time - episode 2 spoilers within, and I haven’t read through episode 3 yet so please don’t spoil me.

I did quite a bit of searching and couldn’t find any documentation explaining how to get this to work, and decided since no one else has done it and a couple of people had asked me about it I thought I might as well write it down. My distro in this case is Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and I’m using the Umineko Episode 4 package.

Late last week I finished playing through the first episode of this. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will be starting episode 2 ASAP. I realise that I’m extremely late to the party and pretty much everyone’s already talked this one to death probably, but I thought I’d jot down a few thoughts. Naturally this is going to have spoilers for episode 1 so if you don’t want to be spoiled then don’t read. Additionally I’d really appreciate it if people who have played subsequent episodes would please not make knowing comments or whatever, or spoil the coming installments.
Additionally I already know that I’m completely wrong about everything.
