Ha! That must have been when I was kicked too.  Referring to a moderator as "undiplomatic" is absolutely crossing the line.

[Tatsujin]

lol, and now all of a sudden its all changed 180 degrees. chris got kicked for his "assery" and all bans and rules are dropped.

OH WOW INTERNET!!!!

[roflmao]

This forum needs a "like" button for posts.

[MotherGunner]

New PCEFX insult:  GO SHADOW-LAND YOURSELF!!

[Tatsujin]

This forum needs a "like" button for posts.

you don't really know how many times a day I try to push that immaginary button.

[ZachSpears]

For one more round of lulz, then I'm finished. Too easy a target...

"YOU DIE!!!"

[roflmao]

EDIT: The Truck Wrestling one had some funny moments, imo.

[Tatsujin]

The Most UN-Interesting Man In The World..lol.. how fitting

[jeffhlewis]

I see he's invested top dollar in state of the art video cameras

[Mathius]

Got a link to the lulz?

[Xak]

is Aaron Lambert related to Cody Lambert?



i wouldnt mind living like Cody, pot head in a van on his uncles driveway. i would need electricity for gaming though.

[NightWolve]

I read what I could make out, but still don't know what game he was talking about. What is "Shadowland" supposed to be?

Youkai Douchuuki

I haven't heard of that alias before. Was he also selling The Incredible Ziria 2 and Overhauled Man 3?

It looks like it came from this (arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9502):



And then the Wiki article got named by it: wayback.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Land_(Video_Game)

OK, yeah, confirmed it, the US arcade version displays that "Shadowland" text at the top of the title screen: Shadowland (Arcade) - Quickplay

So just for my curiosity, I took the raw Japanese, 妖怪道中記, and ran it through some online translation sites:

1) "Monster Road record" (translate.google.com)
2) "A ghost travel diary" (others)
3) And when you use WWWJDIC (what my criminal translating-partner DeuceBag used to translate Ys games), you get this:

妖怪 【ようかい】 (n) ghost; apparition; phantom; spectre; specter; demon; monster; goblin; (P); ED
道中記 【どうちゅうき】 (n) travel journal; ED

I'd have to look at the game for context, but can I assume that the enemies may be generalized as monsters ?? (Post-looking at that youtube video, I guess so.)

If so, I think "Monster Diary," or better yet, "Monster Diaries" would be an appropriate literal English translation. My guess at least. Eh, I guess "journal" is more accurate, not quite synonymous with "diary," so "Monster Journal" then ?? The plural form with "diaries" seems better to me as a game title, but yeah...

"Shadow land" can work, I guess, but that's what's called "taking liberties." Ghostland would sound lame, too generic-ish. If "Zombie Diaries" could work based on the enemies, I think that would be pretty good marketing-wise. I dunno, but yeah, I thought I'd dig into what it's actually supposed to be - the creators intent is simply something like "Monster Diaries/Journal."

Anyway, what I see happened here is that since the arcade version was localized for English-speaking markets by somebody (looks like Namco themselves), and "Shadowland" was chosen as some kind of English titling (a bit of liberty, for marketing probably) giving it official weight / precedent, its use was carried over to the console ports that were never localized (like the PCE version).

[JoshTurboTrollX]

thoughts?

[Mzo]

Dude has a mental disorder and does some impressive mental calisthenics to justify his actions.

I wouldn't care if it wasn't about video games.  Can't do much about it, though, but yeah it makes me a little angry.

One day he'll die and his kids will throw it all in the trash, leave it in that storage space until it gets auctioned off or just dump it all at some local antique store.

[PunkCryborg]

hope he's not on our GAMING forum. What a waste....

[jtucci31]

"Fuck an everdrive" I giggled  a little. But he stated he is preserving them for enjoyment for down the road and then in the next sentence says that hucards are dying. Wut?

[NecroPhile]

He's clearly a collectard of the worst order.

A maroon on facebook?!?  Stop the press!

[Psycho Punch]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

Now sticking videogames in a storage unit is "preserving"... I said it once and I'll say it again: stop hoarding sealed mint shit you idiots, not only you're not enjoying awesome games and wasting money, but you're also condemning them to fail/rot/etc. WITHOUT BEING USED. Leave the actual preservation to museums dumbasses, do you think they preserve historical items by leaving them inside a cardboard box in the museum's attic?

The funny thing is that those people not only will not enjoy their purchases, but will also subject teh rarez to early failure by trying to "preserve" them. Also when they die it will all probably be scattered in the wild by relatives with no interest/knowledge of gaming. Congratulations on the preservation of gaming history ! ! !

[esteban]

I honestly don't know what to say to folks who need DUPLICATE collections.

[Paddyfitz18]

A while back I dropped out of the Facebook group(s) because of exactly that.  I mean some of the contributing was alright and I know there are some pcefx folks that are active in those groups to a certain degree, so that was cool.  But overall it just got to be more than I could stand personally, as far as all the collectors, investors, incessant bragging and so on.  That is depressing to read.

i used to feel this was like the last safe place for us true pce and turbo gamers and hardcore players but it too has been overran lately with this same mentality. A magical chase on ebay thread gets way more traffic than our game of the week, clears thread, high score section you name it

Sadly, this has been the case for years. Talking about the actual games? You expected that? Ha.

 

[Tatsujin]

teh most dumbest one of teh most dumbest!

more I can't say.

[Mathius]

Breaks my heart. I don't know what to say.

[o.pwuaioc]

Why not have your cake and someone else's, too!

[roflmao]

Well now I know to avoid selling to Gabriel Garcia.  Thanks for the heads up.  I want the games I sell (on the rare occurrence) to be played, not locked up in some climate controlled storage facility...

[Senshi]

This is why we can't have nice things

[PCEngineHell]

No sh!t.

This is one of those stories that will end with his collection being destroyed by a fire or natural disaster. Or he'll die and we'll see it on one of those shows where people bid on an abandoned storage unit.

[Tatsujin]

hahaha prof. the houly obey!!

[jeffhlewis]

Prof just encapsulated collectardism in one image.

The Facebook groups are nice, but they're so overrun with n00bs and collectards they're hard to read sometimes.

I'm currently resisting the urge to tell the guy asking about the SuperGrafx that it has an NEC PowerVR chip inside of it.

[Sparky]

The guy is as ass saving for the future on video games... Sorry I meant he is a cunt...
But I do like how Beamer put him in his place more then once (( claps hands))

[Tatsujin]

he's saving his full-sets for his 3 kids, so that he can hand 'em over when they are grown ups and they again can hand 'em over to their kids 25+ years later and so on.

most ridiculous and retarded thing I have ever read.

[esteban]

It's for the children!

[HailingTheThings]

Was considering showing my face on that thing. Is there a point with people like that? I'd love to kick the Gabriel guy in the dick in front of his kids and then tell them "You're Dad is an ass, a shitty ass!"

hehe

Actually, maybe I should still, hmm... hmmm, like alot.....

How many members are actually on there? Enough for it to be a thing?

Are all the others like that weird syphic guy who touches and readjusts his beanie too much in his youtube pickup/brag/dick measuring videos?

Don't get me wrong, he seems like a perfectly fine young man, its just...the beanie adjusting that goes on....its too much....also, I'm sick of pickup videos of any sort, I suppose. I'm sure he helps people or something, maybe, so oops if that's a thing.

ramble-ramble.

Fuck.

[HailingTheThings]

I was pretty sure you were already in that group, but yes... I'd say a good 1/3 - 1/2 of forum regulars are in one or more of the Facebook groups.

Oh yeah, who did you think I was were was?

Ohhhhhh.... mew..... mew.... mew...........butts.

[Mzo]

Oh, good, his 3rd Turbo Duo for his collection.

Yeah, that's great.  Why do I watch these?  They just make me mad.

lol.... no no...

I suspected señor hailing was that dude whose profile pic makes it look like he is chewing down a tree like a beaver (because the tree has been partially chewed by a beaver).  Guy seems to have a similar sense of humor (minus the mew :3 thing) and hails from Michigan.  I actually asked him if he is a member here and he said something like "uh i don't think i am" which is the equivalent of a guilty congressman at an inquisition saying "i don't recall".

HTT is a unique creature, but not Gabriel unique...

lol def. not this beaver man you speak of. hehehe/mewmewmew

[Neorebel]

Ha, I read that Gabriel Garcia thing as well. Talk about delusional! I almost think it's a troll but while I am new here, I do see this exact kind of serious behavior with some Neo Geo "collectors" too...

Yeah that was too rich

[Tatsujin]

I just didn't know what to think about this.

What a derp.  Of course someone made it up, ya fuckin' tool!
