I've been asked to have this thread deleted as it clashes with an exciting upcoming project.

I appreciate the contributions and I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks for your time.

Sounds cool.  How much?

I've bought similar books for other things I'm interested in because reference books are cool. If the price is right I'd bite.

Hahaha!!!! Worst guy ever to have marketing/promoting your stuff...

Having vandalized his previous thread which provided information on what the actual product will be, now he makes a poll asking if we'll want to buy it with next-to-no info... WHAT sense does that make ?

Can't see anything other than "Print is forever. Est. 2001," he put the forum in maintenance mode.

But now I know why he keeps repeating "Print is forever," it's a chosen tagline apparently.

Color me interested and confused!

Only a madman such as Japjac can make sense of that and yeah, poor Richard Gibbs, he did get the worst person ever to interview him, it's quite clear that Japjac only cares about promoting himself, "Print is forever" is his very own "For the love of it".

Welcome gentlemen. Make your time.

Why do I always have to think of "All your base are belong to us" when reading such taglines?

I'm not a fan of people deleting old posts for essentially no reason.  But regardless, who is Richard Gibbs?  What's this book?  Is it a reprinting of something old, is it something new? 

I'd click "Don't know" in the poll but it looks like I can't vote?  Whatevz.

You'd have an idea of who he is if JapanJac hadn't replaced his posts in the previous thread with spam messages, the same as he did with his Hall of Shame CPS Changer thread.

No, we already have our guy, sunteam_paul

I guess the exclusive Japjac forums were so popular they permanently crashed.

Exactamundo.

We know what guide books are, but who is Richard Gibbs ?? Should I have heard of him before ? I haven't, and if I have to leave your marketing thread to use Google, you're doing a piss poor job of it! When you're lazy at the basics or WEIRD, the reader isn't gonna have a lot of trust for the end result if you're involved somehow, so you're NOT helping...

You wanna gauge interest for a product, you make a presentation with photos/images/etc. but most of all, a persuasive, detailed pitch, instead of relying on name-dropping somebody the reader might not know...

He threw up this, but deleted it:

(?action=dlattach&topic=23008&attach=5859&image)

Then made this thread with less info other than PCE Guide Book and Richard Gibbs... WHY ?

He's hawking an updated book made from a 96 page fan magazine put out by Richard Gibbs in 1993.  It was filled with game reviews, tips and codes, and short blurbs on games, hardware, and accessories;'twas very much a fan production with hand lettering, fan art, and collage compositing (note the yellowed cellophane tape in the above scan) and printed via xerox copying.

Though quite rough around the edges, the original is pretty interesting (it's in the turbob archives).  Depending on price and quality of revisions, I'd be interested in buying an updated version, but only if Gibbs is involved and getting the lion's share of profits.

Oh hey, the poll works again.  I can now safely click "Don't know."

Yeah, the guy who did the original work definitely deserves to be paid for his trouble.  ...and likely deserves more than $1 per copy.

So japjac, is the original author involved?

I've been asked if I'd be willing to do the page layout for this project. Although I'm on board with the concept, I just don't think there is anywhere near the demand that would allow a professional print run in the quantities required at a fair cost. Although Gibbs' fanzine is well known in a small circle of UK people (not me, I never owned it), it's clear that the vast majority of PCE fans have little or no attachment to it, so an update wouldn't really have the resonance it needs.

It would have to be really in demand before I become part of it, especially when I have a billion other projects, including more of my own PCE books if I can ever get around to them.

So NecroPhile did part of your job for you, "JAPJAC", now you just need to put up some teaser layout/cover/guide sample images etc. like you almost did with your aborted thread to help the viewer visualize what you're going for. Duh.

Also, it might help to not burn bridges early with a forum if you're hoping to separate us from our monies by having your account operate as a robotic spamathon for wayback://japjac.proboards.com (https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://japjac.proboards.com/thread/*)...

Why doesn't Fapslack ever made a normal post? Why is everything so fancy and hyperbolic?

The first, the only, official, complete, etc etc. It was ridiculous when he was obsessed with the CP Changer but now he's hyping the idea of reprinting a commonly available one-man fanzine like it was a rocket to the fucking moon or something.

Also, massive massive post editing and covering his old posts like a total fool with zero faith in his own writing but not seeming to care one bit about what anyone else says (going so far as to be the only member of his own forum about himself).

On one hand, obviously, I'm disgusted, but I also sort of feel bad because one day we'll learn what his diagnosis is and then I'll probably regret everything I just wrote.

Yeah, that's the problem with calling somebody out on the internet.  If a guy's a bit weird he might actually have some real problems.  I did that to a fighting game guy in a facebook group and then felt like the biggest asshole after I actually met the guy.

JAPJAC Self-Deletion... Good bye my PCE homie!

RIP to another member, we have lost another one of the greats to Seppuku, folks. [emoji24][emoji22]

You big, rotten meanies, are you proud of yourselves ??? Well are ya ?? ;)

...a little bit, yeah.

I wanted so much more out of him.

Bizarre.

In his recent emails to me he has been polite and totally coherent. His actions on the forum make me feel like there's some split personality thing going on here.

LOL, rage quit.

Print is forever but only if it's in English.

Back a few years ago I used to converse with him through emails and on YouTube and he was always polite, and then something switches in his head and he turns nasty. Try Googling him, he has been banned from MANY forums for being rude. He was also banned from a Twitter for frequent bad behaviour., even goes as far as taking the piss out of someone's mother who died of cancer. Forget about him, he's an idiot with a huge superiority complex. He's very strange.

Well jeez, I don't know if I want the book now...

I would love another copy of the guide book i had it back in the day and have no idea what i did with it, the book was great and super useful at the time when buying games.

I still have one original I bought from Richard in the 90's.

Raw and fun fanzine. Looking forward to the new one if it happens.

Wait... You're still here?

I thought all of us embarrassed you the point where you self-deleted. You came back as a guest?

You realize that there are about 4 recurring JAPJAC jokes about how bad your posts are. And nobody I know, knows or cares WTF that Capcom thing is you always claim to be the worlds expert on. Hubris is not welcome here, especially among the people who actually know what the fuck they're talking about.

The first time, I thought you were a spambot account your formatting was so bad. The second time, I couldn't believe you came back for more abuse, and now I'm kind of dumbfounded because none of this shit was postulation, you actually are still hocking the same bilge you were a few years ago, and as a person who, in my 20's worked as a music promoter as an actual job, working for an actual record label, getting actual checks, I fail to see how you're doing promo for anything.

Please self-delete. Oh wait you're still a guest.

No, he's not here.  He self-immolated on February 22nd.

Hey!

This was true when you posted... I was being scientific: 100% FacialBook and 0% faves.

Just to see what pros vs. cons were

(And to answer the age-old question: can anything provide what pcefx offers?)


...
...

A: No, not all all. Nothing can come close to providing what pcefx offers.

:)

Glad you're back, we need more around here with your personality. It's conceivable you could've helped diffuse the situation we're in, but what's done is done.

I was lost more to Twitter to be honest last couple of years. I got bored with the format of Facebook and I dunno why but Twitter for some reason became more appealing. Partly because it's built so well around your phone, the Twitter app that is, and browsing is easier.

There's less sense of community though but it's a different experience, you can follow people you like, get a different sense of them where they can just be themselves and talk about whatever.

Yeah, that is something I agree with: each platform has certain "use cases" that it excels at and I can see how—for certain situations—one platform is easier/better/etc. than the others.

I still don't understand Twitter.... ha!

:)

I only use twitter in guest-mode to check for any disruptions in public transportation.
