#lcgccx

So, it’s definitely been forever since I’ve translating anything GCCX related. My apologies. It’s also been forever since I’ve used Tumblr. Why? To sum it up, essentially I prefer to keep things very apolitical in general (people get really dumb when they talk about politics). It’s very hard to avoid that on here, even if one thoroughly combs through the people they follow. So I may be finding a new place to post things eventually. That said, I’ve teamed up with one of the people who used to work on VRGCCX’s translations and it has allowed us to produce higher quality work, both in terms of typesetting and just video quality in general. He also times the subtitles for me, which makes things easier on my end. However, I have long since moved to Japan and now work a 9-to-5 job. So that leaves me with little time and energy to work on things. So it’s like two steps forward and two and a half steps back. Regardless, I’m really proud of how this turned out. The translation is way better than most of the stuff I did before, and as I said the quality on all of the other work is outstanding. You can download the Wizards and Warriors episode here. https://mega.nz/#%21VYwSBJDa%217ly4oYZeQR-R0hTYAPYHcUqGTUSjR3sGlS5ZFq7ns98 Hope you guys enjoy! Also, without giving too much away, I want to say that the next translation I’ll be working on is something of a black sheep of a game, but has always been one of my favorites.

Thank you, I appreciate it. This week has just been a fucking nightmare.

I'm putting this out there again. Despite adding two potential staff members to the team, we still do NOT have a permanent timer on the team. So if you have basic Japanese skills and/or advanced timing skills and can churn out a timed .ass file for a one hour TV show episode in about a week or two, please contact me. It will make all future projects that much easier.

The raw is out. It's on this crappy Chinese site, so it's not the best quality. But if you want to watch it, it's there. I'm going to start working on translating it right away.

I honestly don't know why people hate on this game so much. It's pretty damned good. If you speak enough Japanese, there's references upon references upon references to the show. Absolutely everywhere. The art style put me off at first, but you can easily recognize who is supposed to be who. Complete with some of their signature clothes (Matsui, for example, always runs around in his purple hoodie. Takahashi is always wearing his red cardigan, etc). The games are pretty good after the third one on. I've finished the first five, so far. The first one (the broom game) is pretty lame to me, but I also didn't care for the Karakuri Ninja game from the first one, so other people might like it. The shoot 'em up game seemed like a Sky Kid ripoff with very little innovation (also, I couldn't get Arino's "blow into the mic to save yourself" trick to work for some reason). But the third game, Treasure of the Souma, is really fun. Kinda reminds me of the Tower of Ki and that style of game. The fourth game, Saurus Boy, is very fun as well (not to mention it's a Sega Mark III parody). It's side-scrolling platformer where you get dinosaur suits to give you different powers (without them you just throw hammers). Kinda reminds me of a simpler version of Power Blade II a bit. The fifth game is the block-breaking game, which is pretty fun. I haven't gotten much further than that yet, but I've overall had a pretty good time. If any of those games sound fun to you, or if you can understand enough Japanese to get the references and sound-bytes and whatnot they throw into the game, I recommend it.

there is a link full of bunches of stuff. read the thing. stop being a dudebro. though that seems to be impossible

its not a bunch of stuff, its legitimate criticism and complaints by people who are fed up with his shit and the fact that he's praised for being ~oh so feminist~. its been stated that there are gender, race and ableism issues with his work, and im not gonna disregard these things so that i can 'form my own opinion'. my opinion IS being formed through reading discourse on issues such as these. if people who i trust have expressed that they dont like whedon and that he is not feminist, then im inclined to believe them. anita sarkeesian is not infallible and its possible to like something problematic while recognising and acknowledging its problematic aspects

i havent watched either but ive heard buffy is not even remotely as feminist as people believe. whedon has said some shitty things too, like not wanting to use the word feminist???
