OLD THREAD:

>>915000

Version 2.0 of the current script:
http://pastebin.com/gUW3vY5D

Please read through the replies to the original post of this version before suggesting edits.
http://archive.foolz.us/vr/thread/915000/#940486

Kakaricho would like to have this portion of the script finished script by 12:00 noon JST on Tuesday, July 30th.

Here's the teaser for the next episode:

ドラゴン◯◯

Dragon ___ ___

It could be a million different things.

What's the latest aired episode?

>>942789
Donkey Kong Country 2 (3 parts). They're all here:

I like it best when hamada gets punished.

>GCCX miiverrse is up
>No idea what the fuck is going on
Wish Nintendo would officially sub the nintendo challenges and put them on the WiiU and then NA/Europe could have their own GCCX miiverses

You there! Would anyone here be interested in an Asian Variety General thread? I know most of you know and love Gaki no Tsukai already. There are lots of great variety shows I just know you would enjoy (including the ones that Arino is in) and I'd love to discuss them you. I don't think it could be a work without your support, hence why I'm asking here. Let me know!

I just want to give my kudos to the /GCCX/ community here, as a /v/ poster since 2008, for giving me several threads of the richest, most civil, nice and amusing conversation I've ever had on 4chan and pretty much every other message board. The fansubbing efforts have been nothing short of amazing, too, let's keep up the good work!

>>942829
I only wish the subbing efforts had taken off sooner and I could've gotten into it more

>>942829
That is definitely true. GCCX threads are generally filled with nice, friendly people.

>>942817
>Wish Nintendo would officially sub the nintendo challenges and put them on the WiiU and then NA/Europe could have their own GCCX miiverses
This seems like a no-brainer. They really should do this. It would bring so many more fans to the show.

>>942818
>Would anyone here be interested in an Asian Variety General thread?
Um... sure! Which board would best be suited to house such a thing?

please tell me someone has a download link for the soundtrack just released

>>942854
no kidding and it could boost VC sales along with miiverse posting

>>942854
But GCCX NC episodes are for promoting nintendo with a popular TV character. Translating them and having them on the E-shop in english wouldn't be effective advertising since no one would be enticed to watch it since they don't know arino and most people would dismiss it just for being in japanese

>>942864
Nothing yet.

>>942857
I don't think it would stand a chance on /jp/. Probably /tv/, but it would likely have a rough start. Threads don't last very long on there though. I dunno. It would be awesome if we could get a bunch of people interested to start with.

>>942880
A couple of anonymous guys from the internet can throw together a subbed 20 minute episode of GCCX in a week for free. Two guys from the translation department at NOA can probably crank out a GCCX episode in a day or two. There's not really much risk in subbing the episodes

>>942880
Well, they'll just need a bit of creative promotion. I defy anyone to watch the Super Metroid episode trilogy and not enjoy themselves.

>>942817

Game Center CX, surprisingly, is something that Nintendo really keeps close tabs on, given how goddamn Iwata himself has appeared on the show, claiming that Arino and company have been important factors for the "education" of the general populace about classic games. There's also the fact they've produced tens of Nintendo Network exclusive episodes (though lots of them aren't distributed anymore nor globally, though lol) and the fact that Sakurai adores Game Center CX and the Kacho. The show is a very interesting weapon in Nintendo's marketing arsenal, a connection that arises, naturally, from how the Nintendo brand is pretty much synonymous with classic gaming, however I can't see such efforts delving too far from software efforts that Nintendo deems important for the "retro" side they want to push on customers at times.

If anything they should have Arino get visited by Iwata and other Nintendo people more often.

>>942818

I'd love to chat with you guys about Gaki, but I fear that /tv/ will blast us to hell if we try to chat about Japanese tv in there. And the audience would be somewhat different than the users here, which may degrade conversation a bit...

>>942880
If we found ourselves enjoying the show, a handful of nintendo themed shows can turn a large crowd.
The promotional power it could have would be very valuable.

>>942864

nothing ;_;

The Japanese aren't too keen on audio ripping and digital audio distribution it seems, sadly.

>>942928
You do know importing exists and the japanese have and will upload the soundtrack, it is just a mater of if you can find it or not. It might be on PD or share but I have never used them so I can't check.

>>942989

That's true alright, but it's going to take a few days if we wait for importers with that. I was more referring to the whole day 0 upload experience and general attitude towards digital media in Japanese culture, we'd expect links for the album to have surfaced by now or to have it available on digital marketplaces since day zero, but it seems both those things aren't too common for japanese media, anecdotically speaking.

By the way, has anyone in the thread gotten their hands on the album yet? How is it and what trading card did you get? What I've seen of them is super cool, wish they were included with every print of the disc after the first. I want an Arino Card :<

Can you guys post the "smile and optimism: gone" image macro please?
Thanks in advance.

I always thought they could have released it once a week and have one of the games he plays as one of the download on the VC. Say that it's in japanese (if we never got it) like the other imports. Besides licensing and translations it's very little work. Would help promote the VC. But since they seem to not did care to promote it even when the Wii was out they might not care about it.

4chan's subbing team should join one of the other groups Not Clover or SA, to help pump out subs at a faster pace.

Why not Last Continue?

>>943034
No.
And it isn't "4chan's subbing team" It's /vr/

>>943019
I only have the uncropped one handy at the moment.

>>943034

why does it need to? vr-gccx is doing well and we're all very proud of it.

>>943034
LC guy is a tumblr fag who does shitty translations.

>>943068
Please go back to /v/.

Do you think Arino ever used a cheat device?

Why is a middle-aged Japanese man playing video games so entertaining?

>>943083
Even SA-GCCX agrees the translations are shit.

>>943116
Don't start this again. SAGCCX makes plenty of errors. Last Continue is far from "shit".

We've been over this so many times.

>>943126
Even our subs are better than LC.

>>943129
Are you confusing TV-N with Last Continue? There's nothing wrong with the latter.

So whats next for VR-GCCX? Do you have a problem with licensed episodes like SA Team does?

>>943146
working on Ikki, it was a season 2 dvd bonus.

>>943116
As far as I know, the reason why they ignore LCGCCX is because of some drama that happened between them and LC's translator, the quality of his releases has nothing to do with it.

>>943112
It's funny watching him play it you know he knows what's going on and how to play it. But most likely feel the show would be better if he acts like it's his first time. I find it charming. And with broken parts showing him visit different arcades it's trying to get his viewers to try out more of the retro games. I wish Nintendo showed it here because I feel it would have been a nice promotion for their VC.

Does anyone know if this episode is available to be watched anywhere? http://www.crunkgames.com/?p=87&page=146

>>943368
Arino honestly doesn't have a clue most of the time what's going on. He's not really some game genius who just pretends to not know how to play.

>>943112
He's a comedian.

>>943398
I think this is the latter part, taken from Gaki no Tsukai's fan forum's GCCX thread.
dfiles [dotto] eu/files/diz6ny2tz

>>943457
I also searched for the first part, but only came up with a slow as fuck Pandora stream (the site doesn't even load it and a download addon gives an estimate for three hours).

>>943421
I was just saying because I would think by 2004/5 (forgot when he played Doki Doki Panic) he would know that he would pick up veggies. I'm not saying he's a game genius but he acts more like having no clue about the game then he really should. I am 100% sure most of what goes on in the game is true but the first few minutes I'm guessing is staged just to make the illusion of him having absolutely no idea about the game.

W-we're closing in to 2 months without a full episode, guys. ;_;

Really looking forward to that Ikki revenge episode you guys are working on though. It's almost as long as a real episode!

Hi everyone, sorry for not responding to edits before the new thread started. I made a lot of edits based on what people suggested (and thank you very much for them). Here's a link to version 2.5, if you can, please have a look and suggest any edits. I'm hoping to have the rest finished by late afternoon/evening Tuesday JST, so please look for that as well.

http://pastebin.com/zRdypkae

>>942829
Thank you, I agree. Until recently I only browsed 4chan occasionally, but the fact people in the /vr/ GCCX seemed to be civil to each other and enjoy the show is what made me stick around and start the random show news translations. Than an anon who would later become Abunai asked if anyone could translate what was being said at the press conference, and...

>>942928
For music, it's 2 years in prison and/or a fine up to 10,000,000 yen if you're caught up/downloading, and they usually only catch uploaders.

>>943034
We're perfectly capable of making releases on our own. I translate, anyone who wants to edits, and Abunai subtitles like a machine. Adding more staff would just bog down the process, in my opinion.

I have nothing against the other groups (I wasn't fluent in Japanese until a few years ago, and I watched a lot of TV Nihon/SA/Clover releases until I moved to Japan, and I enjoyed their releases), but I can't see advantages in some kind of merger.
(LC came into existence after I came to Japan, so I'm not too familiar with their releases.)

I have fond memories of playing Ikki with my childhood bestfriend (who I lost contact with many years ago). Looking forward to it.

>>943612
They're are still a lot of people who upload stuff though. Isn't using PD relatively safe?

>>943063
Thanks!

>>943116
In the press conference release we made, there a whopper of an error at the end. Arino actually says he wants to avoid mistakes, not have a year full of them. I was tired and rushed and beefed it.

All the groups make mistakes, it happens. Hell, the Criterion Collection of 'Tokyo Story' leaves large amounts of dialogue untranslated. Being critical is good and helps to improve future releases, but just shitting on people doesn't help.

>>943616
PD? I'm a little ignorant sometimes...

>>943620
I think he means "Perfect Dark"
Not the 64 game.

Its the name of a Japanese file-sharing program for Windows. Its a lot Kazaa, Shareaza, or Limewire.

Winny and Share are also similar programs.

I remember waiting for a rip of a fairly high profile album being released first in Japan last year. I don't think we ever got one (until it was released worldwide a few days later), despite pictures of people getting the album was posted online.

Just wait a few days and some imported will get their hands on it.

Sites like 4chan and SA do sometimes have kind of a bad rep, but I've found that people on the GCCX related topics do tend to be friendlier than rest of the respective sites generally are. I like to think that you can't be a truly nasty person if you enjoy watching Arino.

>>943623
Ah, O.K., thanks.

>>943616
I'm not very knowledgeable on this topic. Obviously stuff gets uploaded, but every few months there's news of arrests for uploading/downloaded. Probably not even a fraction, but still, 10,000,000 yen and/or 2 years in prison is a pretty steep penalty, so I imagine it deters people.

>>943421
I have a feeling Arino's really good at RPGs and puzzlers. Remember how good he was at Solomon's Key? That shit's difficult.

>>943084

well, turbo controllers and cheat codes have been widely featured on the show. otherwise, at least personally, he probably has, but never on the show

>>943054
Sounds like a 4chan subbing team to me.

>>943034
I don't think we should "join up", but I wouldn't mind helping if any group wanted my help. It's not like I have a lot of episodes to make, for now I'm just waiting for you guys to finish the episode. And isn't clover dead anyway?

Last Continue actually invited us to join them, but I didn't want to for a very silly reason. I don't like the style of their sub.

>>943598
177
>Can’t get it. That one neither.

I know that you decided not to change this line before, but I do believe that it's incorrect. In the second sentence, "I can't get" is implied. Since "can't" already expresses the negative, using "neither" makes it an improper double negative. If Arino had spoken a complete sentence, your translation would've been the clearly wrong, "I can't get that one neither." The line should be like this:

Can't get it. That one, either.

If the comma messes with the flow, then you can ditch it.

>>943598
183
>On this stage too, that woman appears.
On this stage, too, that

322
>However, on this stage too. . .
However, on this stage, too...

Most missing commas aren't critical, but I'd try to make the narrative punctuation as proper as possible.

>>943598
For some reason, I skipped reading the top last time. I just want to clean up a couple of small things.

>This special feature is only for people who bought the DVDs, so at the start we should have it say

4
>“Please don’t spoil this for anyone”, the way the “The Sixth Sense” DVD did.
anyone,” the
way the ‘Sixth Sense’ DVD did.

Even though it's part of the actual title of the movie, the 'The' before ‘Sixth Sense’ should be removed, while the 'the' spoken before the title should remain. Also, you should try to keep the same style of quotes around titles for the whole script. Single quotes are fine.

>>943598
455
>I figured "Since this time's a special feature I don't have to" so. . . I didn't.
I figured, "Since
special feature, I don't have to,"

I like being able to watch the subbing process in action. Thanks to everybody for working so hard.

Excellent Progress gang, keep it up.

>>943598

I deleted my post of Version 2.0 to avoid confusion. In general, are you okay with me posting the current version in your absence at the start of a thread, or would you prefer that I wait for you to post? Either way is fine with me. I just don't want you to feel like you HAVE TO BE THERE right when every thread starts.

The Kacho played Ikki? Which I've seen talked about multiple times on the show? (game collections, atlantis no nazo, etc.)

If so, nobody ever translated it?

>>944775
>The Kacho played Ikki?
Yep. He played it in the middle of Season 5 for the show's second DVD box set. Most of the DVD stuff has been a low priority for the other subbing teams, so our team decided to do some of them.

>>943924
Fixed, thanks.

>>943965
Changed to "On this stage as well,"

For 322 I think it's look bad as subtitles, so even if it's incorrect, I'd like to leave it as is.

>>944198
How about

“Please don’t spoil this for anyone”, the way the DVD of 'The Sixth Sense' did.
?

>>944339
Fixed and made some small edits.

>>944581
You're welcome, feel free to pitch in if you want to.

>>944745
I make the edits locally than post a new version every day or so, so I'm okay with you posting the latest version, especially since my work schedule can be erratic at times. That said, here's V2.6 with all the edits to this point.

http://pastebin.com/U3VGDr02

>>944802
Plus, by being twice as long as the previous DVD challenges but a bit shorter than a full regular episode it's a good bridge.

>“Please don’t spoil this for anyone”, the way the DVD of 'The Sixth Sense' did.
That works. You just need to scoot the comma so that it's within the quotes, since 'anyone' doesn't have a ? or ! after it.

>>943494
It isn't. In Sonic challenge he fooled everybody by pretending to play while the demo was playing and after it was over, he progressed like a snail ever since.

The only part that's scripted is when they show him a cue card that tells him to say "I think I can clear this before dinnertime", "This is only a Famicom so it'll be a piece of cake" etc. right before the challenge actually starts.

Still waiting to see the SMB live challenge. Hoping it goes up on DM soon.

>Huh? This `uprising` only has three lives!
This looks weird. I would just change it to full quotes.
Huh? This "uprising" only has three lives!

>>946305
I really think that "uprising" doesn't make much sense here, when the "This "one guy" has three guys" at least makes sense as a punny joke. This is one of those cases where it'll be necessary to have one of those dreaded "translator's notes", but if you make it super succinct it'll work.

>>945114
521 to 531
The commas and other punctuation are inconsistent here. Somebody thoroughly edited the section in the last thread, but not all of the corrections were made. If you can take another look at the post, it would be helpful.

http://archive.foolz.us/vr/thread/915000/#942161

I wouldn't mind discussing why you picked some corrections and not others in this section.

>>946339
To me, it sounded funny enough having an "uprising" with only three guys in it, but you may be right. As long as the chosen term is in quotes in the sentence, it'll help to drive home the joke. We'll see what Kakaricho can do with it.

>>945114
647
>He then somehow evades the enemy, and makes it through Stage 3.
This should be one of two things.

evades the enemy and makes it

OR

evades the enemy, and he makes it


657
>Are they tryin' to say "There's no error in picking this game, thank you very much"?
to say, "There's no error


The script is looking good. It's almost ready to go.

>>946348
I had a quick change of heart about that, I think the "uprising" joke works better than what I mentioned. But I think it would be more natural if the line read, "This "uprising" only has three guys?" Do other people see the difference, maybe?

>>946363
Listening to the line (at about 4:30), he's definitely making a statement and not asking a question with that sentence. Even if it looks funnier as a question, it wouldn't really match the way that he says the line.

>arino plays Blaster Master for a day
>guy playing Blaster Master with a estimative of 30 minutes to finish
I fucking love speedruns.

>>946383
Oh, I didn't mean change it to a question, sorry. I meant change "three lives" to "three guys". I just misplaced a question mark there.

>>946402
OH, right. I agree with you. I think that it was "guys" in the first version of the script. That does sound funnier to me. I'll link it back to the current script to make sure that Kakaricho notices our opinions on this.

>>945114
>>946305

>Huh? This `uprising` only has three lives!
Huh? This "uprising" only has three guys!

>>946397
On a related note: Have we heard any more news on LC's Blaster Master sub? I know that SA and LC have slowed down for the summer, but I'd like to know if they've made any further progress on their current projects.

>>947023

LC is pretty much dead in the water right now due to other committments getting in the way, and SA-GCCX is in a similar position.

In the OST YT playlist, whatever used to be for "Miscellaneous TamaGe" is dead now.

>>947095
Swapped with another upload.

>>947039
>we likely won't see Master Blaster until the end of the year

;_; wtf man

>>947129
The titles need to be adjusted. Removing the broken video slid the ones at the bottom out of place, so the titles no longer match.

So, after Ikki, will you awesome people attempt a "real" episode?

I fucking love you guys

>>947385
I'd LIKE to say we will, it's a logical step in our blossoming...that being said as long as a we find a good episode ( taht no one else seems interested in doing )and the rewards > Kararicho ( holy shit I spelled it right ) or Abunai's potential burnout..


tl;dr : I say, hell yeah.

>>947385
I certainly hope so. It sure seems like the next step in our evolution.

>>947129
>>947242
Fixed! Thanks so much for maintaining this playlist for us.

>>947385
>>947436
It'll probably happen, but a full episode with lots of different types of segments is pretty complicated stuff. It may take at least twice as long as Ikki.

>>946298
Fixed.

>>946305
Fixed.

>>946340

Thank you very much for all of your edits. I think at this point it's pretty much done, but I'd be glad to take any more edits if anyone spots anything. I'm aiming to have the second half up sometime this week, so here's hoping!

>>947436
I like how Deer Scare is looking down in quiet admittance of the truth.

>>947385
>>947436
Yep, that's what I've been thinking. We've done gradually longer/more complicated projects until now, so a full episode is a given.

>>947497
Well, 'Ikki' is basically a challenge only, so the segments will mainly be extra length and timing issues only. I was thinking of three 20 minute scripts, depending on if a clean cut can be made.

It all really comes down to the content; I spent an hour researching the Battle of Dan-no-Ura for the ending speech of 'Genji and Heiki Clans'. Something like the three parts DKC 2 I could likely do in 1.5 months, if I had a checker for names, etc.

And I notice that at the beginning the ST lines don't have punctuation, but towards the middle on they do. Let us know what you think about punctuating all the ST lines, since maybe you prefer some not to have any.

It's lookin' good!

>>947578
34 - 38
>ST
>Ikki
>1985
>Sunsoft
>NES (Famicom).

I would lay this out a bit differently, just to match the formatting of the rest of the script and to avoid subbing confusion. Also, if you're using Famicom throughout the script, it should be listed first with NES in parentheses.

ST - Ikki
1985 Sunsoft Famicom (NES)

No other punctuation is needed there.

>>947860
>I'm not sure you need that comma after elipses when leading out of a quote, I think the elipses is all you need.
If it looks weird to people, I'm fine with it being removed. Virtually nobody is going to complain about it. As far as I know, these are the standard punctuation rules for quotes ending in the middle of a sentence:

Incomplete sentence in quotes = end with a comma before the quotes close

Complete sentence in quotes = end with a comma instead of a period before the quotes close

Quote ending in an ellipsis = add a comma after the ellipsis and before the quotes close (admittedly looks weird)

Quote ending in a ? or ! = add a comma after the quotes

>>947578

>“Please don’t spoil this for anyone” the way the DVD of 'The Sixth Sense' did.
This should have a comma after anyone and inside the quotes.

for anyone," the way

I'm torn between wanting to help and not wanting to spoil the episode for myself

>>947919
If you can contribute to the team, then it's worth the sacrifice. Anyhow, I find watching an episode containing my contributions to be very satisfying. Give it a shot.

>>947578
It's looking pretty good. I'd just like to hear Abunai's opinion about ellipsis spacing. I think he just does them like this... without spaces in between, but I'm not totally sure. I guess it all depends on the subtitle font.

>>947860
137
Good eye, thanks.

285-286
These are at places I think the subs should be cut at. He doesn't trail off, he just has a pause, so an ellipsis would be out of place, IMO.

As for the screen text, it only gets used when it doesn't match what the narrator/person speaking says, and I think matching the punctuation used in the Japanese is best. I went through and cut where the ST was (more or less) parroting what was being said by the Narrator.

Additionally, in the screens where the King appears and the Narrator is speaking, I think it's better to just overlay the Narrator's subtitles over the text, but I'll leave them in the script.
(basically 'just because, but if they're a pain I can cut them)


>>947872
That was changed after a previous suggestion, but now that I think of, it's easier to read and understand where subs go the way you wrote it (I think the previous edit was mainly about the punctuation I had).

>>947889
I think I'll cut it then. I want to use correct grammar as much as possible, but not to the point it would make for bad-looking subs.

>>947896
Fixed, thanks.

>>948238
Thanks! I'd like to hear if seeing a script with some timing notes is helpful or not myself, how is it, Abunai?

Here's a link to v 3.1. As I cut all the redundant screen text, the line numbers may be quite different.

http://pastebin.com/y6djFqbS


Also, for when I've finished the second half, would people prefer having one script with the full version (with the newest version of the first half being used, of course). Or separate halves? Presonally I'd like one full script, as lines numbers can move around, but I'm willing to hear different opinions.

>>948537

Full script would probably be better. I'd like to help as well, but I'd like it if I had the full script so I could read along while watching the raw video, since the context is important.

>>948238
>I'd just like to hear Abunai's opinion about ellipsis spacing
What do you mean? It isn't together and then a space? I always did it like that.

>>948537

>>948651
I'm just curious if you've been following the script, and if the time cuts (when you think of it against the video), are helpful or not.

>>948906
>I'm just curious if you've been following the script
Not really. I've been wait for the definite version of the first half.

>>948651
>What do you mean? It isn't together and then a space? I always did it like that.
Yeah, that was just what I was wondering. The script has them spaced out at the moment, but the way that you do them looks better.

>>948537
Kakaricho, if you can get rid of the spaces inside the ellipses, it really would help the editing. I don't want to correct the spaces before and after the ellipses until they're in the format that Abunai would use for the subtitles. It comes up more than 60 times in the script.

>>948680
Good timing. This helps fill the void between episodes.

>>948680
That got really exciting near the end.

I'm sure that I am not the only one, but I just bought the soundtrack from CD Japan. No idea how long it will take to get to Australia, but when it does you can expect a rip from me to make an appearance in these threads (unless someone beats me to the punch).

I thought it was Inoue, but as it looks like his voice was only in the background.

I don't mind talking about them, as long as we get them right. We just need to decide on a standard way to type them. After that, the discussions will only be about the correct places to use them. For the most part, I haven't had any problems with how they've been used in the scripts.

Since you have Arino saying Famicom shortly after that (and the game was only released in Japan), Famicom should be first. NES should be in parentheses at the end, and you don't need the period there.

Well I am technically on summer vacation from school. I don't really have much to add, like, I'd help with formatting and all but a lot of people seem to have that on lockdown already and I wouldn't wanna make anything seem a bit more crowded. Just patiently waiting for more translations and watching whatever raws i can find.

Sorry for slightly off-topic, but holy shit this LCGCCX guy must be outright retarded.
http://lcgccx.tumblr.com/post/56989928222/errantwings-lcgccx-eff-blog

In short, he's running a smear campaign against a translation company he got hired by, then fired after turning in so poorly done work it damaged their reputation and almost lost them the client. After making them lose so much money, he now has the galls to not only demand to be paid for his work, but has also established an online hugbox/smear campaign trying to paint his boss as the bad guy for trusting his skills and not checking his work, presenting the entire thing as "translators translate because they love doing it, and should be excused for their mistakes".

Disgusting.

>>952564

To be fair, whoever 1) does not proof-read a larger scale translation project by a new translator and 2) does not use an editor on a larger scale translation project by a new translator really deserves to get shit on to some degree. That is just horrendous business sense and essentially proves the guy isn't worth doing business with if he just turns shit in with the client without checking it over in some shape or form. I mean, look at us. We're a small group with tiny projects in comparison (80-page book? That's pretty damn large), and we essentially are staffed as follows:

1 translator
1 subtitler
A TON of editors in the form of the entire thread

Proofreading and editing is the most important part of the translation right next to the actual translation. I honestly feel like taking LC's side here. If you're given a translation project in parts (a good chunk of it WEEKS in advance), then hand it in to your client and suddenly it turns out it's crappy, you have nobody to blame but yourself, because you had AMPLE time to figure that out from the first chunk of the translation. Not to mention:

>it was clear to me you are not qualified for this translation (you don’t understand the meaning of “hontai" in this context? Seriously?). And most importantly you should have realized this yourself.

How the fuck do you realize yourself you're making errors in your translation when the only thing you have to check with is yourself? That's a retarded stance. Translators need other translators to check over their work, simply because of the nature of the work. It has to be a group effort, otherwise, shit's going to fall apart.

Ironically, this might also give a decent explanation for the troubles SA-GCCX had with LC, what with the whole "not coming with a checker" business.

As a GCCX related tangent, apparently, Nakayama now works at a hospital according to zari-gani, who found that out from the trading card she got with her soundtrack CD.

Well, I am not in position to judge which side is right but the thought that Tumblr outrage could change something is very amusing.

>>952393
I get really busy in the early summer, after my business trip tomorrow it's back my regular schedule, so I should get more done (translation is up to 30:00 minutes now)

>>952564
>>952602

IMO, you can't really form an opinion knowing only one side of the story. Maybe this Sam screwed him over, maybe his work was crap, but it's impossible to say without hearing the other sides of the story.

>>952602
And who are you? Hobbyists doing this in your spare time. This isn't how the professional world works.

If your toilet gets clogged, and you call a plumping service to get it fixed, you're not going to get 5 plumbers on the door so 4 of them can stand around and check if the main plumber does the job right.
When you get hired to do a job, and claim you're qualified to do it, you're not to make mistakes. You get paid because of your qualifications, you don't get to be so bad at your job your boss has to hire someone else to look over your work and fix the mistakes before giving it to the client.

>How the fuck do you realize yourself you're making errors in your translation when the only thing you have to check with is yourself?

No, it's not. If you're reading a text in a language not your own, and there are bits you're not quite sure what means, you should understand that you're not qualified to translate said text.

Hey, guys! What are we talking abou-- I'll come back a little later.

>>952632

Two words: Probation period. That is where the aforementioned plumbers prove they know what they're doing, so when you call a plumber, you either get one that has passed that period (and hence has proved he knows what he's doing) or two, one that has passed the period and one who hasn't, and the one that has makes sure the one that hasn't doesn't fuck up.

LC had not proved he knows what he's doing to that company (to my knowledge), and going off vague "credentials" or "qualifications" is business suicide, considering how easy some qualifications are to obtain while still staying completely ignorant. He should have had an experienced translator from the company check his work over, and blindly trusting qualifications is a stupid thing to do, because in the "professional world", qualifications don't mean shit beyond a rough estimate on a base experience level.

>>952393
It's probably a combination of people busy with work or away on trips and a longer than usual break between DKC2 and the next episode.

Drama seems to follow LC-GCCX around...but then again, that client sort of sounds like a hustler.

>>952758
No matter who's to blame for the situation, it's really unpleasant to see it all trotted out publicly on the tumblr.

>>952650

>>953167
Back in my day we had to wait years for a single episode. You kids these days are spoiled! Two months is nothing!

>>953608
How were they "screwing him over"? He was asked to deliver a translation as a test, which he did, but it didn't meet SA's quality standards. The LC-GCCX guy even later admit that SA were right and apologized for his rude comments (and strived to study more). I think later on the quality of his translations got better, too.

>>953657
I'm pretty sure that's not whole story. It's different everytime it's posted. Anyways they intentionally rushed out the same episodes he worked on, for internet creds. Zari-gani eventually said that they were gonna stop doing that IIRC, it was childish all around.

SAGCCX are far from blameless in all this.

>>953674
Somehow I don't think your depiction of these events is the most objective either. But as I don't have enough information to comment and I don't want to start a war on "internet creds", I'll just drop the topic and enjoy the newly released Mendel Palace episode!

>>952671

No translation firm does this, because translation firms hire purely based on credentials. LC could only end up being assigned work he couldn't do if he was exaggerating his resume. Anyone who's ever worked in translation will assume that upon reading LC's post, and make a mental note to never, ever hire him. Making that post was the worst possible thing he could've done to his career.

>>953674

It wasn't about cred. They didn't want to endorse LC's version, because he'd already failed their translation test. They were reasonably assuming that his version would be substandard (and it is, just not enough for /vr/ to care). They had no way of knowing that he'd stick around doing releases, rather than doing one or two and then losing interest (which is honestly what happens to most projects inspired by drama). Continuing to do shows they planned to do for their fans was just acting rationally. If they change their minds, it'll only be because their own fans ask them to do so.

To be honest, I doubt that LCGCCX will release anything anymore. Since the release of Magical Quest episode (which was back in April or May), the only thing I've seen on his blog is e-drama over everything, ranging from his personal issues to whining because new Super Smash Bros. will have a characters he doesn't like. It's clear to me that he got bored of translating the show.

>no episodes in two months
>watch five minutes of Mendel Palace
>have to skip to the segments
I hate myself for being bored by puzzle games

>>953051
Fixed.

You SA shills are so transparent, trying to extend your "doesn't come with a checker" argument to LC's professional life. How much do youhaate him for stealing your Kacho glory with his Mickey? This claim is like saying copy editors should be responsible for layout and graphic design. The "publisher" LC worked with is a thief. Would you like it if your beloved zari-gani had her work stolen because a content producer was too greedy and lazy to use an editor to complete it?

So nobody has a link for the soundtrack yet??

>>953750
They went out of their way to sub episodes LC was working on. It happened 4-5 times, it was not a coincidence.

If Tajiri was born in the 60s/70s, why does he look like he's still in his 20's?

>>954084
I think it was, though. These episodes (I'm talking about EarthBound & Yoshi's Island challenges) were heavily anticipated among the community, so it's no surprise that both groups worked on them as soon as it was possible. If anything, it's LCGCCX who rushed to be first.
In fact, zani-gari stopped working on Magical Quest translation because of LCGCCX's release.

Sorry if I sound like I hate LCGCCX. I don't, in fact I'm very grateful for what he did. I'm just tired of his e-dramas. If he doesn't want to work on show anymore, he shouldn't force himself.

>>954084
The only stuff they subbed that he has as well, were Yoshi's Island and Earthbound (which were both highly requested as soon as they came out). I like both of them for subbing stuff, but at this point, the arguments are petty and stupid.

Hey, if I knew more than some random sentences and words of japanese, I'd go and instantly sub my own versions of several GCCX episodes that TV-Nihon released. They are full of strange "translations" and lots of stuff left untranslated, which I hate. "Oh, here are some gacha-gacha machines!"

Incidentally, zari-gani from SA wrote on the forums:

"I haven't seen their [VR] subs yet (or the most recent GCCX eps, for that matter ) but nice to hear! I know they're trying to do stuff we're unlikely to do, too -- SAGCCX would like to get in contact with them to let them know what our future release plans are. "

So if Abunai or Kakaricho are reading this, try to get in touch!

>>954128
It's hard to get in touch when they're based on a paid forum. If they want to contact us, there's kakaricho e-mail on the site I made for the group. And I'm going to do one right after I watch the new episode.

>>954132
They have an e-mail too, and a facebook page.

That's nice of her. As far as I remember Kakaricho wanted to know if they are working on certain Season 16 episode.

>>953891

LC is the one who decided to publicize his professional life, and it was a stupid decision. That kid is so fucked, I honestly feel sorry for him. I hope he likes translating TV shows for free, because it'll be a long time before anybody offers to pay him for it again.

>>953021
The Tamage felt kinda short for this episode, but it wasn't bad

>>954214
When he successfully reclaims his $2,700 in court I'm sure you'll be there to shout at him from the steps, "It's wrong of you to publicize your personal life like this! You should let people steal your work!"

>>954240
And you are, of course, a professional translator, and has experience with how that business works?

>>953821
Maybe if he stopped sitting on his ass and didn't constantly shit around wasting time on stupid sites like tumblr he could actually release something. Then again it would still be unlikely

>>954132

Is there any particular reason why their release plans aren't public to start with?

Also, just shoot them a fucking e-mail. Or buy an SA account and whatever, SA's not that bad a place ya know.

> SAGCCX would like to get in contact with them

Rule of thumb I use in both my personal and professional life and it's never let me down: if I hear someone wants to "get in contact with me" and my contact information is easily available in several public places (which it is) then I just wait and let them contact me.

If they don't contact me, then I know whatever they wanted to talk about wasn't all that important or the "want" wasn't all that strong to begin with and probably not worth the time.

>>954307

They're goons. They know this is a 4chan oriented effort. Goons hate 4chan. They are not going to go looking.

>>954314

They don't have to. I replied to that post at SA with a link to the website, which has the e-mail addresses.

>>954319

Literally was in the process of posting "oh nevermind someone else took initiative" when you posted that.

Although blow that slightly passive-aggressive notion of "You must contact ME". I'd just shoot them an e-mail flat out. Having someone with an SA account act like a messenger boy strikes me as stupid and inefficient.

>>954340

Well, it'd probably be best if Kakaricho was the one to get in contact with them, and he's not around right now (he mentioned a business trip?), so it's probably best if somebody from the SA team gets a place to get in touch with him ASAP, which is why I made that post. When he gets back, hears the news and if the SA guys still haven't contacted him, then it's best if he takes initiative.

>>954227

QUALITY. This makes me feel much better about our work, and I love our public and transparent editing process.

>>954240
Even if he's due that money, it turned my stomach to read about it IN PUBLIC. The professional thing to do would be to handle it in court instead of discussing it like that in sickening detail.

I'd like to know from the Japanese speakers on this board. I hear "Domo" used multiple times, but each time has a different meaning, apparently. When Arino greets people, he starts with "Domo!", when Arino asks an AD a question, they sometimes start with "Domo...". What's going on? Is Domo the Japanese version of "uhh"?

>>954395

I don't speak Japanese, but the question intrigued me, and it seems it's a sort of all-purpose term encompassing things like greetings and saying thank you. Here's something that seems to explain it pretty well.

http://kojisensei.wordpress.com/8/

I updated the site with the mention that we're doing Ikki and with a e-mail of my own.

>>953021
It's up on gamingcx/ancientcircle now.

>>954394
It seems I must state my point again. What about his reclaiming the damages in court do you find private?

>>953021
>>954450

>mfw its true

>>954406
Seems more like "pardon" / "excuse me", a polite introductory.

>>954314
"They" aren't above coming here anonymously to slam their hated rival LC, are they shill?

>>954460
Intensifier

>>954458
He should wait until after the case is settled before discussing it in public, and that's only if the terms of the settlement allow for disclosure of such details. Laying it all out for a public sympathy session is extremely unprofessional and will turn off future employers.

This made my day.

Sure is summer in here... Anyone else not really care about this debate over this LCGCCX guy's personal problems either way, and just wants to see the new episodes posted and a link to the Soundtrack??

>>954463
Stop it already. There are a quite a few reasons why people criticize him, and every one of them is his fault. It's not like SAGCCX is perfect, far from it.

>>954529
>LC trying to deflate the argument with "summer" accusation
Seriously though, I would very much like to see him finish Blaster Master, and getting the soundtrack would also be nice.

>>954540
>>Hardly LC, I'm just pissed off that everyone here's wasting time on this douche-rant. Don't really give a fuck about him, he seems like a bit of a whiner from his tumblr, but enh. I just couldn't give a fuck less about him or anyone else's weepy drama.

>>954556

Psst, the LC comment thing in >>954540 was probably a joke. Just sayin'.

Yeah, enough subbing drama guys, I think that's enough. Why don't we just discuss the episode instead?

Arino meets a candy store that doesn't have Metal Slug as the arcade game in the front. How many times did such a rare occasion happen, anyway?

>>954463
Go away, LC

>new sub gets released
>all conversation is about a guy who barely subs

>>954113
SAGCCX usually focuses on older episodes. Yoshi's Island was one of the few new episodes they did. It also happened with Fire Emblem (Nintendo Challenge). Could have sworn there was one other as well, but I don't remember. I would bet money on it not being a coincidence.

SAGCCX probably put out those without quality checking since they had more errors than usual, as pointed out by people in these thread.

Which episode would you recommend showing to someone if they have not watched it before?

>>954591
Ninja Gaiden works every time.

Well I spent my morning watching this shit. I am officially hooked.

>>954593
The first or second one?

>>954598
Start with the first. The second one is a double episode. Make sure to show them the subbed one here:
https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x2nzvv_bitjello79_game-center-cx-season-04/1
Don't subject them to the Craptaco dubbed one.

>>954596
Welcome to the club.

WTF is with the SMB live challenge ending. that was some major BS

>>954604
Buy the US DVD, it's got both and you can turn on Japanese narration.

>>954617
I think he might have finished both challenges after they went off the air, the Mega Man 2 is rewiring next week with 10 extra minutes...

>>954619
>Buy the US DVD
That's a given, but we're just advising him on what to show a newcomer as a one-off. If he already owns the DVD, he should definitely fire it up and show his friend.

Awwww. You're all right, Tsuroka.

This stage truly is the hardest one in the whole game, I could never beat Mendel Palace because of it. ;_;

Great episode btw, I always liked the puzzle ones a lot more (though this one's a lot mroe action-oriented), it's where Arino truly shines.

Are they ever going to do a corner on the development of the new 3DS GCCX game?

They did that for the last two ones.

>>954662
I'd bet on that being the side segment after Famicom Sniper ends.

>>954685
So do I anon, let's hope our prediction comes true.

>>954591
Battletoads, I've hooked at least two of my friends to the show starting with that. I think it's better to start with an episode that has a game that your friends would know.

I'm watching a Mendel Palace episode right now and is it just me or did the staff messed up recording Lode Runner during Ring Ring Tactics segment? I don't remember Lode Runner being so choppy.

>>954662
>>954685
>>954694
They already did a small corner about it where they introduced the president of the new dev-team (G.rev). Apparently the company is famous for shmups so they wanted to insert more of them, but Arino was quite opposed to it.

>>954806

>but Arino was quite opposed to it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure everybody figured that was going to happen the moment the devs were announced.

>>954806
>They already did a small corner about it where they introduced the president of the new dev-team (G.rev).
That's true, but the DS games had ongoing segments covering their development over several episodes. We're expecting the same for the 3DS game.

>>954778
>I'm watching a Mendel Palace episode right now and is it just me or did the staff messed up recording Lode Runner during Ring Ring Tactics segment?
Me too, i think the staff messed it up. But to be fair, the Famicom (and other /vr/ consoles) output a non-standard video signal and they have to deal with using TBCs and/or other expensive and complicated equipment. Not to mention it must be conform for broadcasting.

Does GCCX broadcast at 60fps? Because on the DVDs and the >5gb raw rips it's a lot more noticeable than SA's rips.

So, when is the next quiz episode, guys?

Now, I might not have been paying attention very well, but did we ever learn if Abe managed to get a spot in the rankings on that Hang-On machine in the Fatal Fury Special episode?

>>954128
>>954132
Really? If you have access to the SA forums would you be willing to screen cap that? And as Abunai said, they're difficult to contact with the paywall, so would you be willing to pass along my email/our site's address?

>>954143
What's their email?

>>954160
It really is. I was eying "Kattobi! Takuhai-kun" to be honest.

>>954234
I don't feel that way at all, I just don't want to pay $10 or more just to say hello (SA is kind of notorious for their banhammer wielding, right? Or is that another site?)

>>954319
Thank you!

>>954359
Well, in an hour or so from now. I'd be glad to get in touch with them if someone can tell me their email.

>>954384
I like our process a lot too, but we're not perfect either.

>>954395
>>954460
>>954490
'Domo' is the Swiss Army knife of Japanese words. It basically means "Hello, Hi, Thanks, Hey, excuse me", general acknowledgment etc. It's pretty informal

>>954529
I agree about LCGGCX's issues. It's none of our concern, and we don't know they whole story. Worse, it's leading to group rivalry/dram talk, which is annoying at best.

>>954662
>>954806
Latest DKC 2 episode had one. Did you want any of the info translated?

>>955106
>SA is kind of notorious for their banhammer wielding, right?
Isn't that neogaf?

>>955106
>>955110

As a short-time goon, the way I see it is that you can avoid the banhammer as long as you're not an idiot. Keep proper spelling and grammar, and for the love of god don't throw any sort of "net speak" in. They hate that. Also, make sure your post actually contributes to the discussion beyond a simple "I agree" or the like. As long as you stay smart, you should be fine. All the bans and probations I've seen so far were mostly dumb people.

>>955106
That one delivery boy game was pretty boring, honestly. I recommend either Alex Kidd or Bio Senshi Dan.

>>955106
>>955110
I don't know about SA's banhammer practices, but they're notorious for charging separately to access pretty basic functions of the site. AFAIK, you can also pay to prank other people, forcing THEM to have to pay to get unpranked (like with unwanted avatars and maybe other stuff, I think).

>>955106
>Really? If you have access to the SA forums would you be willing to screen cap that?

See pic.
Don't see why you're so surprised. They're nice and humble people.

>(SA is kind of notorious for their banhammer wielding, right? Or is that another site?)

"Notorious" in same way 4chan is "notorious" for being full of unfriendly assholes. As long as you conduct yourself in an intelligent manner and understand what passes for intelligent posting and what doesn't, you're fine.

>>955110
Honestly, I never heard of Neogaf until I came to these threads. Not a slam or insult, just kind of ignorant.

>>955114
>>955120
Fair enough, thanks for the input. I might register just to be able to follow what they"re doing.

>>955129
I wasn't saying it in a negative sense, it's just VRGCCX is about a month and a half old, so I guess I felt surprised that the main translator of the group with the most GCCX under their belt gave us a thumbs up and expressed and interest in getting in touch.

>"Notorious"

Good point, I guess judging all of SA based on a (shaky/dated) reputation.

An aside, but zarigani posted on her twitter that she got a Nakayama card in her soundtrack. Nakayama responded saying he was sorry/ashamed.

The Kakaricho posting in SA is me, just so there's no confusion.

>>955120

Yeah, you need to pay for changing your avatar, being able to search the forums, being able to private message other users, being able to search through the forum archives among a bunch of other shit.

And yes, you can buy avatars and custom titles for other people to fuck with them.

Reasoning for this is mostly that SA is apparently run on the server equivalent of bread sticks and PVA glue because if everyone had access to all this shit from the get-go the forums would explode.

Probably a side effect of using fucking 14 year old server software.

>>955217
The initial paywall thing is mostly to keep idiots out, sorta like preemptive shitpost protection

>>955110
>>955129
Ex-goon here, the banhammer stuff is totally true, especially in the games section where unless it's universally said to be shit, you can't actually say bad things about a game without getting a probation (a ban but with a time limit) or an outright ban for trolling, even if it's your honest opinion.


>>955120
There's so many people known for having too much disposable income and nothing to spend it on over there that if you see someone with an mlp avatar over there you can't be sure if they're a brony or not at first due to at least two different people on different boards who buy and re-buy pony avatars for posters they don't like.

>>955217
They can't even delete posts over there; not posters, not moderators, not admins, not even Lowtax. Whenever something truly horrible or embarrassing to the staff comes up they lock the thread and move either the whole thread or a chunk of the posts to the mod forum.

Polite sage due to being off-topic.

>>955308
>you can't actually say bad things about a game without getting a probation (a ban but with a time limit) or an outright ban for trolling, even if it's your honest opinion.

youre actually an idiot and this is not correct

polite sage also

>>955308
>They can't even delete posts over there; not posters, not moderators, not admins, not even Lowtax
What if people post CP in there?

>>955323
generally if a post needs to be removed mods can edit the post and remove shit, or just edit it so the post is a period or something

>>955308

>you can't actually say bad things about a game without getting a probation

Just don't post like an idiot.

>>955308
No, you were just an idiot with an inability to get a hint. How the hell is it possible to get put on probation 15 times in 4 years, Jesus fuck.

>>955490
That isn't me, it was one of the few screencaps I have of various questionable probations and bans from SA, I just chose one from the Games forum, pic related's one from Goons with Spoons, SA's version of /ck/. It's really easy to get probations unless you make the most milquetoast, boring posts ever, aka "don't post like an idiot"

>>955529
Even if it isn't you, that guy is still a fucking retard with a seeming allergy to good posting. Calling those probation unjustified doesn't speak very highly of your intelligence.

Of the various games moderators we have "dude who paid a bartender to cosplay as Duke Nukem and spout catchphrases for a launch party for DNF, complete with a cake with a bottle of vodka embedded in it" (Axemaniac), "guy in his 40s that cares way too too much about Let's Plays and actively seeks out amateur videos by 12-year-old kids to make fun of them" (Slowbeef), and finally "dude that spent $1000 over the course of a year on heavily spiced raw meat with extra fat that was left over from the process of making beef jerky" (Louisgod). That's not even all of them. If you really trust them to make decent decisions on anything you are deluding yourself and if you think they are in any form gatekeepers of quality discussion or "good posting" you are an idiot.

I was expecting to come back to Mendel Palace discussion, what the fuck

>>955162
>An aside, but zarigani posted on her twitter that she got a Nakayama card in her soundtrack. Nakayama responded saying he was sorry/ashamed.
That's hilarious.

>>955973
not much to discuss I think, he blew through it with only a handful of stages giving him trouble.

puzzle games and puzzle-esque games are what he's best at.

>>955973
>>955984
I've never played the game myself. Do people consider it difficult at all? Arino sure didn't have much trouble with it.

>>955989
never played or even heard of it

looks pretty easy

>>955989

Puzzle games are his forte, so he smashed through it relatively quick. While there's something bad to be said about episodes with easy victories, it was pretty fun to watch him breeze through with little problem.

>>956016
like ninja spirit

Has anybody else subbed all the stuff that SAGCCX did? I can't put up with these shitty subtitles, they don't even have full stops any more.

>>955989
It's piss easy and has very little in the way of variable strategy. It was mostly picked for being well known as Gamefreak's first game, not for being a good game to base an episode around.

>>956115
I know you're joking, but every episode from every team has at least a few errors in it. See >>954227 from the latest one. Nobody's perfect.

>>956134
Why do you think I'm joking? A couple errors are fine but I checked back the first 80 lines of SAGCCX's subs for episode 38 and literally half of them had problems.
tv-nihon's subs were great. Never noticed any issues with them.

>>956139
Oh, you incorrigible jackanapes.

>>956115
that was a font issue that made it into the encode.
>>956139
If you like T-N's translations than unfortunately for you they don't translate gamecenter cx anymore. SAGCCX is the group who's done 90% of the subtitled episodes out there.

>>956103

Ninja Spirit is one of my favorite episodes, just cause how he managed to summon several games' worth of luck at the end drop with the ninjas. That was just amazing.

>>956139
In case you didnt know, that episode was the 4th SA episode from over two years ago.

>>955269
True story: The 10 dollar signup fee was specifically to keep out one horrible troll that always found ways around bans. It worked well enough that Lowtax just kept it around.

>>955269
It's a good idea in theory, but it basically turns Something Awful into a virtual police state where people are terrified of being themselves because the moderators can (and do) ban people for the most frivolous and petty reasons. The anime board is absolutely terrible about this.

>post in ADTRW
>get banned for liking the wrong show

Seriously fuck Something Aspie.

>>955129
>Don't see why you're so surprised. They're nice and humble people.

Is it a bad sign that I've watched too much GCCX that I can usually immediately recognize from what episodes all the screencaps are?

>>956180

i think his call to kan at the end is probably one of my favorite moments in the show

>>955110
PROTIP: Don't post anywhere that is moderated by Ozma, the chance of being banned over there is RNG as hell.

No full rips of the soundtrack yet, but here's the best part; a 'hidden track' that lies beyond the karaoke version of Last Continue.

>>957316
#28 is Pokemon Special
#36 is Phoenix
#52 is Takeshi's Castle
#72 is Link to the Past
#77 is Super Mario 64
#83 should be obvious

>>957693
I won't count one by one, could you say the phrase there is in each one? I'll find it easier.

>>957706
The numbers are on the bottom corner as you scroll through. #83 is obviously The Wing of Madoola. Also, #80 "To hell with the sun." is Ninja Gaiden.

New GCCX episode featuring a DBZ game.

Hey /vr/.

How'd you find out about GameCenter CX?

>>958195
I'm pretty late to the party. I heard about it here.

>>958195
/v/, like most people.

>>958195

Found out about it from random /v/ threads, but only started getting into it after the huge YT takedown when /v/ was filled with threads. Started downloading the big torrent, started watching, and never looked back.

>>958195
I heard about it a couple years ago in some random thread about something else on /v/. It was not too long before the SA subs began and everyone started going nuts about it.

>>958195

From /v/, last fall I think.

>>958201 >>958202 >>958203 >>958214 >>958264
Alright, thanks.

>>958195
I've known about it for a good while (can't pinpoint the exact year) and even saw an episode or two raw a long time ago on Ustream. I can't remember which game I searched that let me know of the show in the first place (it might've been J.J. & Jeff/Kato & Ken). I didn't start actively watching and downloading the subs until early 2012.

>>958195
actually /v/
but before /v/, i read the Pokemon RB article on tcrf.net
>http://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue
>One special episode of Game Center CX features an interview with Pokémon creator Satoshi Tajiri.
Back then it pointed to a untranslated/undubbed yt video, i wasn't so much interested.

>>958195
Back when 1upshow had a special about it (2007 iirc). Back then TV-Nihon was the only source of subs, and we got like a couple of episodes a year. Feels like so long ago now...

What episode would one recommend for a newcomer?

>>958574
Tokimeki memorial.

>>958574
I'd try Solomon's Key and Prince of Persia here:

That's a fun one, but I think a more traditional game is best for a first exposure.

>>957621

Tsuruoka on the roof! Haha, this is the song from the soundtrack advertisement that's been at the end of recent episodes.

>>958027
You sure did! Should be able to finish the latter half today, but we'll see, depends on if my co-workers managed to do their job while I was away yesterday.

Randomly blundered into it via an anime forum back when I was in University. The rest is history.

>>958574
Super Mario World. It's a well-known game, and it's got all the stuff that makes GCCX great.

>>958195
from /vr/, this place has given me nothing but good stuff since it came into being.

Yesterday, I decided to buy a Something Awful forums account and say hello to their GCCX group. Less than an hour after I posted there, zari-gani emailed me to say hello and discuss our releases (and I want to say, she's a really nice person and it was great to talk to her).

Basically, we're just going to keep doing our own respective projects and stay in touch to avoid over-lapping releases. There's no need to feel rivalry or competition, because we both just want to get more translated GCCX out to people.

I was thinking of contacting the Last Continue group as well to see if they were interested in a similar arrangement, what does everyone think?

>>958753
Go for it , my friend!

>>958753
That makes sense. It would certainly help everyone's efficiency to avoid doubling up on the same projects.

>>958760
>>958795

I just sent an email to LC-GCCX asking them to share what they are/aren't working on. If he answers, combined with what we hear from zari-gani, we'll be in a better position to decide on a post-Ikki project.

Here's a link to the full Ikki script. The second half starts at line 647.

http://pastebin.com/8WvD6gz2

Please remember to read the procedure before editing.

http://pastebin.com/r3GepdVq

I'd like to have it finished by roughly August 10th, so please try and make edits before then.

Somebody have a link to the Ikki raw? Now that we have the full script, I want to give it a look over myself.

>>958753

You and zari-gani are cool people doing cool things.

Good stuff.

It was not because it was boring, I liked the episode a lot, but it was because I was tired.

I feel I have dishonored you, Kacho. I waited for almost two months for this.
