Quest For Glory II posted:basically, the internet is great but its given us the forbidden fruit of knowledge of What Could Have Been. i played the SNES final fantasies and don't think I ever thought "now this dialogue seems wrong!!!" For the most part I agree with you, but even when I was a kid I could recognize the terrible grammar in the FF2US translation. If FF5 ever came out that would've been even worse, if the PSX version was any indication.

I remember when I was first trying out emulators and got a fan translated version of Tales of Phantasia for the snes and man that was pure garbage.

As I recall from an ancient Official Playstation magazine article, at one point the entire script of FFV was accidentally replaced with the translation office's emails for the past month or something like that. I need to lookup that issue, a lot of stuff about the PS1 FFV makes sense after I remembered reading that.

Are there any goon-recommended youtube channels or podcasts about gaming in general? I'm basically looking for something to put in my secondary monitor while I work, something like TotalBiscuit (gaming news, a review or two, "quick looks"), but... well, without being TotalBiscuit.

Try CensoredGaming. What kind of content do you want? If it's just gameplay and commentary you could just dig into the LP subforum. Podcasts sound like they fit the bill, try The Level on Duckfeed.tv for general gaming news and banter.

I actually like some of TB's stuff, but it mostly depends on what he's playing, and his long stuff is mostly things I don't like (like heartstone). Not making a lot of sense, am I?

If a James and Mike video has a guest that's not Bootsy there's a pretty good chance you'll want to skip it. James is a pretty chill guy but man he knows some lovely people.

Edmond Dantes posted:I do check the LPs frequently to see if anything catches my attention, and I usually look for LPs of games I want to check out. I guess I'm looking for something a bit different, maybe something like SpoilerWarning's stuff where they comment on what works and doesn't work in a game, but less... shrill? I used to watch them but one of the guys (and the girl) can be loud as hell. Adam Koebal does really good LPs of games where he'll talk at length about things he finds interesting in games, and game design, and things like that. He's got a really interesting playthrough of Wolfenstein: TNO cause his commentary about stuff in the game is really interesting. He is a twitch streamer so all his videos have facecam, he just uploads his stuff on to youtube. I liked his playthroughs of Life is Strange and Soma as well. If you want something a bit different that's not really video games related, Adam Koebal is also the GM of two rollplay shows that are pretty perfect for podcasting. Rollplay Swan Song has 50 episodes of content, it's essentially streamed DND set in the Stars Without Number setting, though I think almost all of his worldbuilding stuff is original. The other one he did is Mirrorshades which is over now, it was 31 episodes and took place in the Shadowrun universe. I love them and Adam is just a really good GM who describes things in a way that it's almost like watching a movie or tv show. So give those a shot and see if you like them, you can find all of them on itmejp's channel.

I like Epic Name Bro; he does playthroughs of Souls games mostly, but he's also done a really awesome run of Muramasa and Dragon's Crown he just finished a no-death single-man run, which is great to see. He's got a nice southern drawl and tells cool stories about living in Japan. He's playing DS3 blind right now!

The roleplay podcasts sound really good, I lost my roleplaying group to marriage, children and responsibilities so it'd be nice to scratch that itch. Roleplay vicariously through others! Watch his Muramasa playthrough, it's really great skill on display.

CrashCat posted:There's a vicious cycle that I can imagine where in order to get paid well for your art you have to make what the market wants, and in turn if you want to hire art for your game, you want to choose artists who are good so you pick the successful ones, and then they shape the end product by making stuff similar to what they did before, which is what put food on their plate. There are some artists that just like to draw one type of woman and that kind of Frank Cho style artist certainly gets plenty of work in all industries. Shane Glines used to run a site called the Drawing Board and the most popular forum was the "Girls" forum where animators would draw endless pinups of white barbie-proportioned ladies. Some of those (especially older) animators get real cranky when diversity shows up in animation. A lot of talk from "anonymous" animators was that Merida the protagonist of Brave was "too fat". These same animators would point to Looney Tunes as having some truth to them there stereotypes!! They've also harassed creators like Lauren Faust and Jessica Borutski for... well you can probably guess. I'd say the main thing about games is.. artists can be great showrunners on TV, make great films, make great comics, but when we time travel back to the whole "games as art" nonsense conversation, just about everyone agrees that game design is a crucial part of the art, and not all great artists are great programmers or game designers. It's the one thing that separates games from other media. There's a reason why very pretty games can be absolutely terrible and games with "programmer art" can be wildly successful.

The Kins posted:Legend has it this was to stop people from beating games within a single rental, because Nintendo of America had a pretty turgid hate-on for video stores renting out games at the time and were trying pretty much anything, up to and including trying to influence lawmakers to make game rentals illegal, to stop it. Nintendo was such a scummy company back in the day. My favorite is probably the president of Nintendo of America throwing the entire industry under the bus during the Night Trap/Mortal Kombat hearings just so he could make Nintendo look better by comparison as a children's entertainment company.

FirstAidKite posted:You know what game was good? Stretchmo. Old post but all the 'mo games are amazing, if a little repetitive by the end. Also I tend to get so into the puzzle-solving mindset when I play those games that I have to actually "cooldown" afterward for a few minutes to focus on something else. Same thing that happened back when I used to play super-speed tetris.
