I saw Ripp doing that when I reinstalled this time. :D It's because he starts the game with his aspiration meter slightly in the red (which makes sense). The fridge swing is considered a teen immaturity behaviour, which they do when aspiration is low.

(On the same note, I think Ripp's low aspiration is also meant to encourage the player to call up Ophelia and launch that love triangle. It's so suggested by the game.)

I've been getting some lag with the last few EPs. The graphics are not a problem... it's just the processing speed, I think.

I feel the same way about preview posts like that. I'm glad to actually have the new EP when it comes out for once. It helped to cheer me up (well, not all the tech. problems, but they seem to be "resolved" for now. *crosses fingers again*
