Resistance is Futile
Just because EGS has so far been accused of No Bisexuals doesn't mean it won't change.
But I don't know, I don't think Noah was put in the story with that in mind. While it might be a Throw the Dog a Bone thing, I'm thinking he's relevant to the plot in some other way.

Well, while there is that chance, I really doubt the kid is in an unhappy slowly crumbling relationship.

^ Unless his girlfriend happens to be Melissa, who's still obsessed with Justin. That seems kinda unlikely to me, but still, it's a possibility.

I suspect Melissa (who obviously has a tendency to fall for gay guys).

A tendency is not one gay guy and one extremely feminine possibly bi guy.

I'm joking, really.
...aaand, it's Melissa. Looks like I was right about her obsession with Justin being detrimental to the whole "relationship" concept.
Though apparently they're something like Friends with Benefits, if Noah means what I think he means by "giving each other pleasure."
I like the way Dan's revealing more and more of Noah's character quickly, but not in a way that seems rushed. At this rate he'll end up a regular in less than a week.

There are non-sexual forms of pleasure, y'know.

name one thing that is pleasurable between two people that isn't sexual

^ Video gaming?
But, yeah, especially given that they also provide each other "close comfort" (and that Elliot treats it as oddly candid, which Noah admits), it's sort of safe to say they have a sort-of-but-not-quite-a-relationship.

Ah, so friends with benefits. Whoop-dee-doo. My unfounded optimism has been shot down.

Heh. Sometimes you forget that they're different filters of the same person.
Hmm. Raven. The plot thins.

You know, I don't think Noah ever actually said his girlfriend's name. Melissa would fit the profile, of course, but even so...
Also, Raven? What?
Never Trust
Hmmm, is Raven Noah's father I wonder?

@Known Unknown: You know, come to think of it, wouldn't Ellen suffer serious gender identities, since she basically was Elliot up to the split? Why do they act so differently anyway?
Also, I'll admit it, that was a good twist. Why he was gone, and the teacher wasn't, is beyond me though.

YOSH!
Raven is Noah's foster pops... Fascinating. Looks like he's going to play a bigger role in all this after all.
Good, the cast's gender equilibrium has been favoring girls anyhow. Unless you count Ellen, as the opposite sex clone of Elliot, somewhat male. Which I don't.
I think I confuzzled myself back there.
You know, come to think of it, wouldn't Ellen suffer serious gender identities, since she basically was Elliot up to the split? Why do they act so differently anyway? 1) She has lived through an alternate history where she was female all along which is, while not a full fix, is still a very good one that has probably helped.
2) She has purposefully differentiated herself from Elliot to be the inhibition-less one (She told this to Nanase during the birthday party), and as you can see it has worked out well, it seems pretty natural on her.

...How is it possible to change your personality that much? I mean, if it was that easy, I'd put on the act of being a responsible student.

YOSH!
As Nanase has pointed out at the birthday party, Ellen is overcompensating, a trait tied with Elliot.
starting to sound slightly less ludicrous- why am I defending this? I'm a man of rationality, dammit!
I'm going to say the alternate history is overriding her old one and leave it at that.

Eh. Alright. How long had Ellen been around when she had gotten the full memory download anyway?
New User Handle
YOSH!
Perhaps a week or two. Dan explained at some point that all of EGS has occurred over the course of like, 2-3 months?

That gag went on for far too long I think. But then again, since we aren't waiting for weeks on end for the new page, it's not nearly as grating.
