Not if you use the online version. Although that's probably counterproductive in your situation.

Wait, they get Shelly to testify in court through a radio?

@Mio Well, ALL stories suffer from this problem. The early chapters are dedicated to watching the main character being absolutely awesome. Which, as I've established, I don't enjoy.

and the people on the thread are either obnoxiously bare bones with their answers, or enjoy gushing about how awesome the main character is.

Just plunk the video URL into that bar at the top of the screen and hit the download button.

It claims I don't have Java.

@Ginger: Well isn't it usually the purpose of the early chapters to establish the protagonist abilities, and why the audience should feel invested in them? Usually the best way to do that is to give them some kind of victory.

I guess any youtube downloader is going to be a bit shady. What a dilemma.

Ya'know, I have absoulutly NO IDEA why I didn't think of this before, but I think I finally found something to use in order to cheer up.

@Mio Y'see, this is one thing FOE did well. I LOVED Steelhooves' introduction. Why? Cuz he got the shit kicked out of him and he almost died. but he walso got to show off how awesome he was and how he could help the team at the same time.

and besides, while I can get behind the stuff that makes the main characters sympathetic, I can't say I ever enjoy watching them curbstomp people

Hey, I wonder how hard it is to make your own downloader.

And I just read chapter 22 of One Piece...the poor bastard stuck in a box guarding treasure chests already looted.

@Ginger: So I guess this goes back to your philosophy that protagonist should always be struggling until the very end?

Has anyone ever worked with low level Java before?

@Mio I always feel like a hero should dominate exactly ONCE, if at all. Their introduction.

Apparently though, this guy in Liar Game will continue to curbstomp his opponents effortlessly for several rounds before coming across a decent challenge.

I enjoy heroes when they're struggling, not when they're winning. If that makes any sense

@Story: I have. It was the first language I 'learned', Java and Javascript. Don't know anything beyond basic scripting, though.

Depends: Is that winning at all that bothers you, or would a skin-of-the-teeth victory do it? And the circumstances, too: would a hero stomping a fleet of basic mooks be objectionable?

@Ginger: I see where your coming from. I don't know how any of your standards apply to what your reading now so I can't say if I agree of disagree in that particular case.

Good night Applelight.

Goodnight Seraphem and Apple.

@Story: Yeah, I have no idea what the deal is with that. I just updated my java and it worked fine.

Well, basically, the Liar Game is a tournament by which you and your opponents are given money and your objective is to steal the money from your opponents by any means necessary. Gambits and battles of wits ensue.

The main character is a ridiculously honest girl who ends up losing her money almost instantly. She seeks the help of a Magnificent Bastard ex-con artist who helps her through the game.

He pretty much single handedly DOMINATES her opponent in the first round. As much as it annoys me, yes, you have to establish that he's a genius somehow, so fair enough. but apparently, he's going to continue dominating for several more rounds of the tournament. Is that REALLY necessary? You've already ESTABLISHED how smart he is
