In a post about the "3rd Vision", Mr. Kerot makes the following remark:
read moreI don’t really want to see the game filled with Cinderella Girls characters. No particular offense to that title or it’s cast – I don’t play it, so I don’t even really have any …
read moreWhat I witnessed was twenty three minutes and fifty two seconds of the most depressing, painful and downright mean reliving of high-school hell I've ever seen. This was not funny, or insightful...it was just very sad.

I'm going to quote the full para because guys, it's gold. Reading Evirus' critique of Valvrape is better than watching it. It's like Lem's critique of fictional books:
