I wasn't sure where to but this. Maybe we need to change the name of this sub-forum to 'Japanese language related'? So I'm really keen to start getting to know more of you via skype. So I wonder if anyone is interested in trying out this game: casual.hangame.co.jp/oekaki/ maybe you know it? I haven't checked if it works outside of Japan, because I don't have anyone to try it with, and I can't work out how we set up a session because I'm technologically challenged, but it looks so much fun if we can get it to work. The words seem to be in hiragana, so even if you don't know the thing you're being prompted to draw, you can look it up easily. What's more, is you can pun with it. or break an unknown word into it's parts and draw two or 3 separate pictures. With a small group, it could be a fun way to hang out and build vocabulary together. Who's in? Edit: I forgot to explain what it is. So the game selects a player to do the drawing, and then generates a random word in hiragana. The other player then has to try to draw the word while the other players guess. When a player inputs the correct word, they win the round! You're not meant to use kana or kanji, although the group in the video I've shared cheat sometimes and use them.

In that Let's Play you've linked there was at least one word offered to draw in kanji, but this looks like fun. If we can manage a time we're both free I'd love to give it a go♥︎
Have you made an account on there yet, btw?
THEY HAVE A KINGDOM HEARTS GAME TOO. OMG♥

Jembru I made a room in the game to have a quick look to see if we can password protect it/etc/etc (and we can), and I attempted it both with and without a Japanese VPN, so it does work overseas as well♥ (You'll need a HanGame account though) The buttons on the left didn't want to come up as anything other than gibberish for me, but they just change the selection of lobbies available. I just chose the first one for my test~ Sooo, I just scrolled down until I saw a free room. After hitting create I could use either one of their titles or one of my own. I hit the check box for a password though cause I didn't want anyone joining when I was going to be leaving again right away. You can choose room difficulty and how many people you want in there too♥ And the room itself!

Ah I love you I love you I LOVE you! I had a feeling either you or Rin (I kinda see you as Gaiwa's tech-team ^^) would know how to set up a room! So do we just need to follow a link to the room and enter the password? Or do you have to send an invitation? Either way, it seems much easier than connecting on minecraft. I literally cannot play that game unless JP is home and can set it up for me, and all my settings on my minecraft PC are in English!! I dread to imagine the horrors of trying to set up even single player vanilla in Japanese.
There was a kanji? I missed that. You only see the word when it's Akagami's turn, so I've probably not realised it was his turn at some point. We'll work out such things as we go along though. Good excuse to watch it again (he's one of my Minecraft let's players; my favourite since my actual favourite took down all his videos, sob)
I'm super excited for this. We just need one more person maybe. Larger groups would be better, but I think so long as one is drawing, and then two are competing for the points, it should be fun.
We're often able to catch one another mid-afternoon, so maybe in the meantime we can hook up later on today and take it for a test ride?

The rooms are numbered anyway, so I think as long as I tell you which lobby it's in you should be fine~~ (There is a 'Play With Friends' button, but as I don't have any friends on there yet I didn't bother to click it) If you have an account on there already is your username Jembru? I'll add you as a friend~~ mine's まりー☆☆ on there. Added you♥The pink pop-up in the room says 2人以上 so I'm assuming it's two or more. When I was testing there was a room with only 2 people and it did say they were in game, but then I'm not sure if it counts the room as in-game after pressing 'ready' or not depending on how many people are in there. It's 9:30pm for me right now, but if it's before 11pm-ish I'd be happy to? If not, there's always tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now and I don't think I'm going to be home tomorrow I'll definitely be online when I get back (around 5-6pm my time) if you're available, but I'm free the day after?

Nooo. I have literally JUST signed in. I've missed you by minutes?? I was waylaid by my niece breaking her nose (she is so accident prone, honestly, I've never known anyone end up in A&E as often as this kid). Well, I have a profile now anyway, and of course I went with 'jembru'.

So, Jade was kind enough to force her eyes open for long enough to give this a test run. It's an absolute blast!
I really hope others will join us. Please, even if you don't want to skype, just let us know you want to play and we'll just see you in game!
It's a great way to learn new vocabulary, but it also helped me to notice where I use the wrong kana and have thus been saying/reading words incorrectly! So in that short game, I wrote さんどる for さんだる (sandle), and ゆたち instead of ゆうたち (sudden rain shower in the evening). So it was fun, but also helped me to be more conscious of my pronunciation!
Can't wait to play again.

ええ、楽しかったですね。
I prefer the simple words. 1950 figure skaters and dinosaurs are hard to draw and guess.

Haha, I just couldn't remember what the damn thing was called which is weird considering there was one in Torchwood and I love the show♥ (or at least the first 3 seasons of it anyway)

Are you guys still doing it? It might take a little while for me to turn on my computer & make an account, but I'd love to join if the game is still going on.
