It's not animation, but the real stories!
I would like to see Densha De Go! because I'm a train videogame enthusiast. Also if they have the controller it might be even more interesting to watch.

And to confuse things further I'll vote Sword of Musashi, as I wanna see the Korea games!

All of these sound like good ones to me though.

Go by Train is winning by a landslide (9 votes versus 3 and 2) so that will be next. Thanks!

I guess after that will be Mega Man, then Sword of Musashi. If I still feel like it. Sword of Musashi is kind of a dull challenge in my opinion, but it's worth watching for the South Korea trip aftermath.

I HAVE BEEN A VERY NAUGHTY BOY

I've wanted to see the train one forever just so I can see what its all about. Those games are super popular there and I have no idea why, like the Horse Jockey simulator games. Has one of those been challenged, yet?

Also, Zari-Gani, you are some kind of super soldier to have translated nearly every game you wanted to do. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that we cannot tell you how much we appreciate it enough

That goes for all the timers and Random Stranger too, if I knew all your names I'd thank you personally but that would take up like, a whole page.


That all said, I think Mega Man 1 and 4 are the only episodes I watched without subs, just cause I know what was going on already, and they are pretty good episodes from what I saw. When they are eventually done, I'd love to see them again.


On the live episode front, I think faxing in from the English Speaking world would really be a good idea, I'm sure they would appreciate it after having come to the US for a special recently, too.

Arino has a real "Joel Hodgson" quality to him. I'll bet they could switch jobs and do just fine.

God, I don't know what's meaner; making Arino watch Manos: Hands of Fate or making Joel play Takeshi no Chosenjou.

I would like to see the Torgorino they would no doubt make for the commercial bumper, though.

Hope in the end all three get translated. But I have to ask, why hasn't the season Mega Man 4 is in hasn't had any work done? Or the later after that (barring the USA Special).

Who says nothing from season 14 or 15 has been translated?

zari-gani posted:

I wish. They're really expensive unless you get one of the PS1 or Dreamcast ones and the PS1 controllers aren't compatible with the PS2 games. I suppose I could get the Wii controller but that one is sell your children into slavery expensive, only works with a game that you have to sell your other child into slavery to afford, and it's probably the worst game in the series anyway (the Shinkansen one sounds like a great idea but it is so weak; Taiwan has a much better bullet train if you want to drive one of those).

My current box from Japan is loaded down with GCCX, Super Famicom stuff, and a copy of Quest of Ki; no room for a Train Simulator or controller this time...

Are there resources enough to build one? Admittedly, I'm not getting a good look at the controls, but they look like the sort of thing you could kitbash without an unacceptable loss of quality...

You're paying for the authenticity, though? The whole point of the CS games is that they feel like the arcade experience. I can't imagine playing Densha De Go on a kitbash controller would much more fun than playing it with a dual-shock :{

At the moment there are no plans on the DVD edits. Long term that may change but right now people seem to want the broadcast version.

Whileit isn't impossible to assemble your own basic Densha de Go controller there are two problems with this. First, it won't be accurate to the original train and that's most of the reason for getting it. Second, I'm not sure you could get the gauges to work correctly on the controller.

Cemetry Gator posted:

Oh please? Is it Go by Train!? I mean, what's not to anticipate with that one? In some regards, I don't want to see it, because that means this image I have in my head of Arino sitting in his chair, wearing a conductor's hat, and making train noises probably isn't anywhere near reality...

And because of that, I suddenly have lost the urge to live.

I hate to quote myself, but this was from far back when we were guessing what episode was going to be translated, and as a joke, I said this one.

And now I see that my image was correct! Does this mean I can see into Arino's mind? Honestly, I am excited, and I thank you, Zari-gari, again, for translating my dreams into English from Japanese.

The problems with the video files now are very different from the ones we used to have. The person who is in Japan that has been encoding the versions I get has been doig an incredibly lovely job of it lately. In one episode in the middle they hit FF and ran about two minutes of the episoe at 1.5x speed. On the second Battletoads episode they split the video into two parts and encoded the first ten minutes at 59.8 fps and therest of the episode at 60 fps. They aren't trimming the network bumper and cable box data correctly. They like to encode into a wmv format. The colors tend to look oversaturated though that might not be their fault.

It's still better than the ugly flv files that are out there. I can fix most of these things. It's just that if I can find something better it would be nice.

If anyone is taking note of future episodes to add to a recommendations list, I'd like to just say I really enjoyed this Feudal Lord Quiz episode, surprisingly. The game itself isn't terribly exciting to watch but the entertainment comes from how the staff gets together and reminds us of how we'd do the same thing as kids when we'd "cheat" by maxing out the options, using second player continues, and collective group knowledge. In addition, you get to learn a fair bit about the staff.

Over The Top, transport buffs, and... Cream Lemon? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at that. Oh, and don't forget pics of Arino's youth years... Hopefully the other quiz episodes are just as good.

Hah, oh christ. Translating technical jargon (in the general sense of 'technical') is one of those things that sometimes makes you hate life, but the next time you're able to answer a question about it, you feel like a loving wizard.

"Trust me, it's mascon lever. Look it up if you want but you'll just be wasting time." :smugbert:

Back here in the real world, I doubt many people are going to be too critical if you don't get some train conductor jargon 100% correct, except maybe the train hobbyists or Selphie from FF8. Don't flog yourself too hard over it.

Arino would've been the coolest and most dangerous train conductor if he went down that career path.
