I wonder if they were worried that the game would be too easy, and that if he knew the tricks, he'd breeze through it... How wrong they were.

It's not fair (very little in life is) but screaming american girl makes for much better TV than respectfully subdued fan. rdbbb should have come in riding someone dressed as Yoshi. That would have gotten him some screen time.

Chococat posted:Red is a weird little foam stand with the king on it. Yellow is a rpg style map that is a giant sticker (I think?) Blue is an A5 size notepad inside a gccx folder. The notepad is just plain grid paper though. Chococat, I will happily overpay you immediately for a keychain, both available pasmo stickers, the ¥210 rpg map sticker thing, the king pin (in the purple cart, that's a pin right?) and the "too much TV game" folder. An absolute ton of thanks in advance!

the least weasel posted:Well again that wasn't particularly my point but whatever. The guy doesn't like dubs. That's okay, neither does anyone here, really. I don't think anyone here has held back when offering their opinion of the dubs for the show. The difference, I feel, is that no one here is so offended by their mere presence that they will refuse to consider the other merits of the set. He also doesn't like the games blog Kotaku, and again, I don't think anyone here really likes Kotaku either. It's just that people here aren't willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater simply because Kotaku has a tangential role in the DVD set. But those are his opinions and I have no problem with them or his sharing them. What rubbed me the wrong way was his textbook case of Entitled Internet User. Suggesting that because zari-gani has made some of her subtitles available for free that no one should ever consider compensating her for other work she does is insane. "THEN WHY SHOULD YOU BE PAYING FOR IT!?" How about because sometimes people do things for free and sometimes they don't. Anyway, you wanted us to have a discussion while respecting dissenting opinions. The problem is that most of his opinions aren't all that dissenting, it's just that he has a very poor attitude, a childish sense of entitlement, and a very distorted view of the way things work. He openly encourages a boycott-via-piracy of a product that someone in this small community has been instrumental in making. That's what has everyone so riled up, and I hope my comments have made the situation clearer for you.

zari-gani posted:Everyone who's gotten the DVDs so far, I'm eager to hear your opinions on it. How does it feel watching it? Does it pretty much feel like an SAGCCX release or is it a different experience? Does it do the show justice? Anyone who has a "problem" with this release is doing themselves a huge disservice by avoiding it. The whole set is almost too good to be true when viewed in the right light. It's legitimatized SAGCCX releases we can buy and support not only Arino and the show, but your translation efforts as well.

zari-gani posted:Awesome. What about the translation of on-screen text and in-game text? I know that due to technical limitations they can't do overlays... The lack of overlays never gets in the way of enjoying the episode. It's as simple as that. Are overlays awesome to have when downloading the encodes that Random Stranger and Gutcruncher (et. al.) produce? Totally, and that attention to detail and dedication never goes unappreciated. But the show is entirely worth watching even without having every word of on-screen text translated and overlaid (with a few exceptions for really text-heavy games).

Lobst posted:I've been spending a few hours in Handbrake ripping them and organizing them specifically for my dedicated GCCX external drive. If you went with burned in vobsubs, double check the intro segments (Ninja Gaiden 1 is a good example) where the top of the screen says "Shinya Arino (of Yoiko)" and the bottom has the dialogue. All the versions of Handbrake that I tried did this weird thing where the top part would flash in and then disappear whenever the dialogue at the bottom changed. If you went with just adding the vobsubs to the MKV as a subtitle track, then you probably won't have any issues, every version of Handbrake I tried could do that properly. I also played around with OCRing the subs and got SubRip trained pretty well, but of course going that route means you lose all the positional information, and you'd have to convert it from an SRT to an rear end/SAA and then fix all the placements by hand. If anyone actually wants to do this, I can send you my SubRip matrix file and it should give you a head start on training the OCR engine.

Random Stranger posted:Discotek's DVD's are shipping so it's time for some additional support. Obviously (as Ray covered) Discotek's license only covers the challenge segments. Everything else in these episodes is unlicensed and we know how much people want to see it. Do you have plans to produce these segments-only videos for the previously GCCX translated episodes? (ie: clock tower, sos, ninja gaiden 2, etc)

FredMSloniker posted:An issue I've noticed with the subtitles, aside from the 'a little italics italicizes the whole line' issue, is that on widescreen episodes, the subtitles are stretched horizontally. I too noticed this, but I felt like the situation was the reverse. The fonts look better/normal for the widescreen episodes to me. On the 4:3 episodes the font looks really tight and narrow. Look at the letter "o"... In the 16:9 eps, it's round, but in the 4:3 eps it's an ellipse. FredMSloniker posted:And presumably people are hardsubbing for their own use and not to hand out to a bunch of people instead of having them buy the DVDs, riiiiight? I'm hardsubbing them because there's no scenario in which I can picture myself ever watching them without subtitles, nor is there a scenario in which I can picture myself swapping stupid plastic discs to watch a video on the one device in the house that can play stupid plastic discs anymore.

Based on the timestamps of the files on my hard drive, in 2012 a total of 71 episodes* were translated (or re-translated). This includes all of the Retro Game Master DVD episodes, Nintendo Channel episodes, and the compilation episodes. This works out to 1 episode roughly every 5 days. That's loving crazy. * Assuming no more episodes are released in the next 11 days.
