    I like the maids in Akihabara, they seem so nice. If you need to find a store there, they will walk you over there for free even if it has nothing to do with what they're selling.

    It's too bad though, I won't ever pay to play cards or watch them knit or whatever mundane thing they do. #maids

    @SILVERAMMO: Will your girl put on a maid outfit and pretend to be interested in your hobby for 30 minutes at a time?

    Not that I disagree with what you're saying, but just some perspective here. #maids

    This is just a modern take on the whole Geisha thing. Instead of women in Kimonos, singing songs, and talking about sports to lonely business men; we get women in frilly dresses, talking manga and playing video games with lonely geeks.

    21st century Geisha. I still think both services are pretty sad, though.

    (Also, I walked past this club like 10 times on Sunday.) #maids

    if this happened in the west, it would be called the man-bar room and things would be less cute. Serves the same purpose though. #maids

    That whole pregnant rule must be like what Jeff Foxworthy would say about regulations and warnings, you know they say it because it has happen before. You never know, maybe there has been a lonely pregnant woman who simply wanted a friend. Really, just a friend.

    I'm sure if we listen to these women, they could tell us all the sad stories as to why the customer was in need of their service.

    "Playing Wii Fit by yourself is lonely," says the establishment's owner. "But here, playing along with a maid makes exercising enjoyable."

    I really feel bad for the men that feel the need to do this.

    On a level, I find this worse than prostitution, you're paying someone to pretend to be your friend. It's so tragic!
    At least with prostitutes the sex is real, even if the idea is disgusting.

    @Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: Which is part of why it's so sad. As a concept, I can see it giving some sorry soul at least a vague feeling of companionship, maybe even provide a stepping-stool for them from to pull themselves from a bad place emotionally, but that it's become a successful form of business... It's a tragedy.

    I want to go there and just give everyone hugs. #maids

    Hah, sci-fi thriller.


    Guess we do need better terms to coin these games with, as 'dating sim' doesnt apply to this and 98% of the other games that involve more text choices and instant death choices than they do stats and redundant mini-games. My copy just shipped and I'm definitely looking forward to it, as with 11 Eyes.

    @muu: They're called Visual Novels. Dating Sims are a sub-genre of visual novels.


    Chaos;HEAd is also categorized as psychological horror.

    They should make the most disgusting, bile-inducing drink you could possibly dream up and name it after the main character of Chaos;head. I don't think I've ever encountered a protagonist more spineless, more cowardly, more pathetic, more useless, or more insufferable than the guy in this game.
