The Hang Out: your post count is going backwards!

I have to wait up to a week for Zavvi to dispatch Demon's Souls. Mother fuckers, I want this game I'm never going to play NAO!!

Yeah Zavvi take ages to get Demon's Souls in stock. I waited weeks for mine. On the plus side I saw a used copy for £40 in HMV today, lolololololol.

I had to wait 4 weeks for mine to arrive.

You gummed it off.

Well there's one other file that's about equal size (assuming it's a batch of endings or the leadup to the endings. Not sure how the format in this one compares to KEY's other stuff). Aside from that there's a small handful that are close. But from the next FUCKHUEG file on out it's about 20 1-2 line scripts. So yeah.

Finish playing it at some point, then spoil yourself. I can wait.

Yeah, there are a couple of similar sizes. But I got through 0180 in not too long by just chipping away at it every now and then. Think I can probably handle the rest. Just got to take it a day at a time and not feel bad about dropping a file halfway to go to bed. I will finish this damn thing, though. Our awesome awesome translation group must be made a reality. Also because I want to prove that I can. And a little bit because translating an entire visual novel on my own when I'm only in the second year of my course would look pretty sweet on my CV, and would probably be a decent thing to boast for scholarship applications.

The breaks seem to be pretty arbitrary. A lot of the files are really tiny, and then you have some huge ones that condense a massive amount of scenes into one file, 0180 being a prime example. Could be based on the day on the in-game timer, I guess? Pretty sure all the scenes in that one were from the first real day of the game. To be honest, it doesn't really bother me either way. If anything, it's better. I can whip through all the tiny files and then I'll feel good about only having a few left to go, even if it's just a placebo effect because they're all borderline novels in their own right.

Nah, you've done a lot already on your side of things. I need to pick up the pace. And let's face it, I don't play games very quickly, nevermind visual novels. You'd be waiting a long time. If I really need context for anything, I can always dig up the anime or watch a Japanese LP on NicoNico. I'll probably mail you whatever I've done in the way of complete files on a weekly basis or something, and you can do what you will with it. There's no rush, though. Translating is mutually compatible with my day to day life, being that it's actually good study. You're working on your free time.

Oh, early days yet, but anything in the way of image translation to do? It's been a while since I watched the opening sequence, but I think it had some quotes from the characters? And there's a little spiel right at the start that I'm pretty sure is stored as images rather than text (or if it's text I haven't come across it yet). We could try to recruit Danny for image editing?

Just don't mention that it's a porn visual novel. That kind of doesn't look so good.

Only if I get to chop CreepyFer over all the faces.

[Ivolt]

Wait wait wait, you're really doing the translation thing?

I thought you were joking.

...

Well, carry on.

[Milady]

Probably for the best.
"wait, wasn't I level 80 a second ago? Why am I level 79 now?"
"OH SHIT"

I completely forgot he had that ability until I beat him, wandered over to the other side of the area to make sure there was nothing to pick up, and instead found a message telling me to beware his soul sucking ability. He got pretty close to me at one point, but then got engulfed in flames.

Which also reminds me that I got my first YOU HAVE BEEN INVADED message on the way to the 1-4 fight. I was just about to climb the stairs where the blue dragon breathes fire down on you, and made a mad dash so I didn't have to deal with being killed by someone else before I got to the boss. I didn't realize my character had enough stamina to run for so very long.

You're so weird. Why would you buy a game you're not expecting to enjoy?

Thank you. I'd call you a saint, but...you know.

That's how he rolls. Why else did he complete Hannah Montana?

Depends what sort of company you're applying to.

I'll have you know my only experience with the game is with the clean PS2 version.
