Your health goes first, the site second. You did do quite a job with this update. Haven't seen anything as wacky as Lazrael's new game since I played Hebereke for the NES. It's also been a while since I heard news of 8 Kingdoms. Nice to see that updated as well.Btw, does anybody know what kind of game Comiket is? It could go alot of different ways, judging from those screenshots.

That "Imornu and 99 elder brothers" (the Nepia World game, I think) looks like pure sex to me.
