The Poptart Cat-Out: Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan

Nerd test on nerd stuff to become a certified nerd.

I just imagine them asking you questions on Star Trek and stuff. Reminds me of a couple of years back when the Japanese Language Proficiency Test used a mockup version of Evangelion for one of its listening questions.

Oh, and there's also Riz-zoawd/Wizard of Oz on the DS. You really ought to listen to that soundtrack one of these days. Slightly "out of the comfort zone" Sakimoto, but still good old Sakimoto.

The English version will be out by the time you decide. Mark my words.

Loved the track you sent me from it a while back.

All the better. When an English version of a Japanese RPG is released, the price of the Japanese version usually flatlines since a good percentage of importers aren't interested anymore.

[Gare]

Don't listen to me, though. Just play Graces in Japanese. The voice actors were having a blast with some of the skits.

[Sprung]

Studying for the A+ Exam I'm going to have to take in a while. Such easy shit.

That's one of the few tests In the various fields I've worked in, that I have never gotten around to taking.

Trek Questions? Its not that advanced a test.

Either way, I don't play Japanese RPGs in English anymore. I think the last one was like...Persona 3. I was watching my cousin's girlfriend play Tales of Vesperia in English over Easter, and it was so surreal. Especially since it's one I played quite recently in Japanese.

Aren't they always? I swear Wakamoto enjoys being Barbatos so much that I'm honestly not sure where Barbatos stops and Wakamoto begins.

Oh, since we last spoke I have obtained the first Baten Kaitos, courtesy of my brother in Japan and a nifty second hand shop just down the road from his house. I hope you know that I hold you personally responsible.

English voice overs, with very few exceptions, just do no favors for the game/show. Even if I don't want to listen in Japanese (my weakest partof the language) when I'm relaxing, I still turn on the subtitles.

[Colamisu]

Ah, didn't a dub existed. Really not up-to-date with that kind of stuff. She's okay in Japanese. She sounds like a slut, mostly because she is one.

In any case, that's still not as hilarious as hentai with an English dub. Non-Japanese voice actresses just can't quite do the "I am so enjoying this even though I totally shouldn't" moans well enough.

You say that, but I'm pretty sure they had a hentai studio doing the English dub. Seriously, it's that bad.

The first one is great, but the second one is better.
Its takes a bit to get into, but i think youll be pleased.
Japanese version, i assume

I remember getting the first few bars of that on the piano and then giving up because I suck at the piano.

I know, but I want to play them in order. Yes yes, I know the second one is a prequel. But my friend said there's some nice little references in the second one if you've played the first, so...

I actually quite liked the English dub for Vesperia, but she thought it was horribly cringeworthy. XD To be honest, what little I've heard of English game dubbing today seems to be pretty good, barring the odd disaster like Arc Rise Fantasia or Chaos Wars. I think it's come a loooooong way since back before I knew Japanese and used to struggle through things like Grandia and Star Ocean 2 in English. I'm just a purist for stuff in its original language, no matter what that language might be.

Er...speaking for only voices in English versions of Japanese games, obviously. Dubbing in games that were written in English has been awesome since I was pretty young.
