Dream Club is not for the weak hearted
“Oniichan, how has your life been like? Are you enjoying your current job?”Of course, she’s asking this question to the player who’s playing a guy that goes around doing odd part-time jobs during the weekdays just so he can spend all his money in the cabaret to meet host girls!
Also screenshots of the game in motion have been released at 4gamer and Famitsu. Apparently they’d rather put up a hundred frame by frame screenshots than to post a movie. So somebody made a movie of the game in motion using the screenshots.

Hmmm is it more correct to say “Oniichan, how is your life like”? I kinda didn’t want the comma in there so I took it out.
Or is it something more fundamental like the “how is your life like” part or the usage of “oniichan” in an English sentence?
My English can be pretty messed up and sometimes I can’t tell what’s wrong till somebody points it out explicitly.

I think he is saying the more natural sounding way would be just “Oniichan, how is your life?” or “Oniichan, what is your life like?

on the top right says 181500 cash remaining, assuming that is in yen, you don’t have much time to spend with host girl at all.

Yeah, although I guess “Oniichan no jinsei ha dou?” is literally “Oniichan’s life is how?” it’d be best to render it in English as “How’s your life going, Oniichan?” or “What’s your life like, Oniichan?”
“How is your life like” just sounds awkward on a fundamental level, I think.
The wonders of translation. Well I suppose it doesn’t matter too much in this case!
I kinda like the designs in this game. I’d probably play it if I had a JP 360.

While we’re all being nitpicking nitpickers how about:
“How’s life treating you, Oniichan?”
It flows naturally.
人生ｵﾜﾀ＼(^o^)／

Uh oh, does this mean it doesn’t animate well? Uncanny valley here we come. I am still set on buying it, but I wanna see a video first. *Clicks link* Stupid Youtube Flash, animate without stuttering.

Just keep practicing on your blog. Free “lessons” in comments section. ;^)
> “How’s life treating you, Oniichan?”
I want to be called Oniichan (from a imouto-type). I guess it’s a fantasy for me that’s why I keep playing these games!?!?! (>_<;)

I thought it was ridiculous to post so many screenshots of a game, so I decided to counter-ridiculous with photoshop and print screen.

It is at this point that one might prescribe five fingers to the face, more overpriced alcohol, or both.
I propose a new videogame in which fat ugly people come to your cabaret and your job is to empty their wallets and kick them out onto the street penniless and crying.
