What have you done with your life? Have you ever accomplished a dream you set out for yourself. This here is the story of one mans dream.

Katawa Shoujo

Starting all the way back in 2007 a design was posted on a Image board with one simple wish behind it. I want to date a disabled person. Not one for moral standards but mindful of the risk's of pursuing these goals in real life a team formed to help this man. We shall make it a visual novel a storybook game they said and cried together with joy long into the night..


On a more serious note after 2 years of hard work the team has something to show for it. A download able version of the latest work is available from their website here.

The main character suffers from arrhythmia meaning he has a crazy heart and is at risk of heart attacks.

This in turn sends him to a special school where he meets and interacts with other people with disability's. Heres the image that sparked the entire thing off.


on that note it seems to have quite a few fans already and is drawing in a lot of fan art.
The designs have changed and the team behind it has grown.I may have more if i can get over the feeling of shame to download it.

I enjoy playing games where I mercilessly maraud around shooting futuristic weaponry at my friends hoping that my shots meet their target to dismember them. I rarely take a moment to think about the guns that I’m firing but upon reflection, here are my top 10 badass guns of all time.


10. Hammer of Dawn - Gears of War
Put simply - who wouldn’t want an orbital death satellite canon at there disposal?





Guns like this have appeared before in games such as the Ion Painter in Unreal Tournament, but the Hammer of Dawn has unlimited ammo if your not multi-playering and only limitations is the time limit on the beam and the fact you have to have a clear sky...


Apart from that its all good!




9. Redeemer - Unreal Tournament
The Redeemer, a hand held nuclear missile silo with a impressive blast radius - which you'd fully expect from a nuclear warhead.





Even better you can remotely guide the missile to your target, sneaky players could glide up to the other team from behind and let them know that they are there by making contact with a players head unleashing an utterly devastating explosion, just don’t let them see you while your doing it!




8. Spartan Laser - Halo 3
A big red death laser ... sounds right up my street. Designed for anti vehicle use but is also superb in anti personnel use. This highly charged energy laser beam will destroy anything you point it at.


Put in the right hands the Spartan Laser usually leaves opposing players waiting for their respawn.





Just image if you could dual wield it!




7. Lancer - Gears of War
