Lottery would rather be like "You got a nice sum in front of you and then it suddenly disappears and never comes again"

Unless you get hit by lightning twice and survive, than you'll have a high enough chance to win in the lottery.

Or Euromillions... Portugal is one of the countries that won the first prize more times.

then again, might get addicted to gambling and rather than make money, lose it even faster

Gambling = idiot tax. Lotteries included. I see people at work scratch off lottery tickets and talk about that stuff (I work at a supermarket so they get sold there) and just kind of sigh and shake my head since it'd be pointless to say anything.

idiot tax, very apt i think

You could also count on that long lost distant millionaire grandfather that you never met before to let you inherit his stuff as being his last surviving kin.

Just hope that you have never promised to come back for his granddaughter-daughter several years ago and forgot about that.

Anyone ever heard of that game ?
If so, some opinions on it would be pretty nice.

I might be interested to get it, though stuff like "It features some voice acting by well-known dub actors" is a bit worrying and the screenshots didn't really look very professional imho.
On the other hand 17€ to support some publisher who got the balls to try something like this, hmm hmm ~

that's interesting
but I don't want to hear english speaking people in it >_>

There seems to be a demo on the main site http://www.shira-oka.com/ .

Lets see how fun the voices are =D

only heard about this novel
indeed, that would be like watching anime DUBBED

*shivers*

Depends on the dub... some dubs aren't bad at all
Ok, I don't know any english dubs so can't tell if there are good or bad ones there...

There aren't that many dubs that I can say to have enjoyed. I can remember about the Metal Gear series, Silent Hill, Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright [even if it's only a couple of sentences] and nothing more, from what I've played.

Now, if we count with original English/American voice acting, the list can get pretty long.

Pia's alright in RF3.

kinda....

Haven't played her in undub though.

Persona 3/4?

Also I'm kind of unsure about Shira Oka because being an OELVN makes me wary, and an indie stuidio + voice acting is a risky proposition as well, even if I have no inherent bias against dubs generally. Plus it sounds overly ambitious. I think I'll have to try before I buy.
