Gaming / Re: Cave Story+ - Available Now on Steam
« on: December 23, 2011, 02:30:36 AM »http://steamcommunity.com/id/vixynyan/stats/CaveStoryI'm playing on Fullscreen with Sharp scaling and the game looks great on my end with a 1440x900 monitor.
Played it a bit. It's the same as the WiiWare version.
Since it's played on a PC, the screen quality looks so detailed and amazing.
Music is the same as the "patched" WiiWare soundtrack.
For those trying the game, I recommend Window mode, and Sharp scaling.
That way the game will be set at 640x480 and no blur filters will be used. Pixel perfect. ^^

Gaming / Capcom partner up with Nyu Media to localize doujin PC games
« on: December 16, 2011, 12:07:34 AM »
Nyu Media, a new Japanese doujin/indie localization team, is working with Capcom to release some of these games into the Western market.
Good to see more doujin titles get localized so more people without the knowledge of Moonspeak, though I hope they can handle translation quality better than Trouble Witches NEO.
Quote from: Siliconeria
Late last month, Nyu Media Limited announced plans to bring doujin (indie) games out of Japan. The announcement included a volley of Japanese indie titles licensed by Nyu Media for overseas release, including relatively well-known doujin shoot-em-ups like Ether Vapor.Source: http://www.siliconera.com/2011/12/09/nyu-media-partner-with-capcom-to-publish-japanese-indie-games-on-pc/
This morning, Nyu Media announced that they’re entering a publishing agreement with Capcom to bring these titles to the U.S., Europe and other territories as well.
“Our partnership with Nyu Media showcases the immense creativity that’s brewing within the Japanese independent game development community and at the same time expands our PC gaming initiatives,” said Christian Svensson, senior vice president of Capcom. “I’m thrilled that Capcom is able to play a role in bringing such diverse gameplay experiences to Western audiences.”
The first game to be released as part of this agreement will be arcade shooter, Satazius, developed by Astro Port (more info here). The game lets you use 13 different types of weapons, which you can upgrade during the course of the game. Satazius will be released on Steam, GamersGate, Direct-2-Drive, Impulse, and other major PC download services.
The game is slated for release on December 20th. It will cost $5.99. Seon King, founder of Nyu Media, says that the company will maintain “accessible” pricing across its titles.

X / Re: Mega Man X2 up for re-release on VC!
« on: December 05, 2011, 09:39:19 PM »Not to mention you'd be better off spending that kind of money on the X collection so you could also get the rare X3 game.Doesn't the MMX Collection use the PS1 port of X3 instead of the original SNES version?
I want to get MMX1 on Virtual Console (especially after watching EgoRaptor's Sequelitis on Mega Man Classic VS. Mega Man X last night), it's just too bad I'm STILL saving the last 1,500 Wii Points on La-Mulana, and I doubt I'll get another point card anytime soon...

Gaming / Cave Story+ - Available Now on Steam
« on: November 23, 2011, 11:43:42 PM »
Yep, Cave Story gets another English release in the US by NICALiS, this time on Steam. But before you ask "Why should I fork over money for an indie game that's still free?", here are some of the new features of Cave Story+.
- It's available for both PC and Mac
- This version of Cave Story features the ability to change between the low-res (320x240) visuals and enhanced hi-res visuals, just as with the WiiWare and DSiWare versions
- The original and arranged versions of the game's soundtrack is also featured (not sure if it's the same as the Wii/DSiWare's music)
- Six new game modes, such as Bush Rush and a new Wind Fortress area
- USB controller support
- Four possible endings
- Future content updates
Cave Story+ was just released yesterday and it's available for $10 - BUT WAIT!! As part of Steam's Autumn Sale (November 22nd-27th), you can save 15% off Cave Story and buy it for only $8.50!

I just introduced myself to a scarey little gem known as eversion (the freeware version)...

All I ever liked in Higurashi was the girls, but the plot seemed to suffer from Citizen Kane syndrome and was horribly uninteresting/a waster of time.From what very small tidbits I accidentally read on TV Tropes and screenshots from Google when I first heard of the game's title (this is why I stress NOT to look the game on Google or TV Tropes), it is. Here's a scenario that happened to me the other day when I got an ending around getting 10,000/20,000 pts...

In the spirit of Hallloween and all things scary, I've recently found a game worth giving some good spooks. It's Irisu Syndrome!, and it's a freeware PC game. I'll make a bigger post about it once I get a chance to the PC (I've been stuck using the Wii's Opera browser for a while with horrible rechargable batteries that last less than 20 minutes fully charged). I'll delete this post once I start making one for Irisu Syndrome!. Until then, avoid Googling it or looking it up on TvTropes, they usually contain big spoilers on the game's storyline (especially TvTropes' "Darth" version of the game's entry).

Release date: October 2, 2008
Developer: wtetsu
Version: v2.03
Genre: 2D > Puzzle > Psychological, Horror, Mystery
Content: Graphic Violence, Disturbing Imagery
From what I hear on doujin forums, this game is one of the most disturbing games around, and so far I'm starting to become a believer (this game was starting to play games with my head). The basic story of Irisu Syndrome!, and the only thing you should know about this game's storyline until you start playing it for yourself (avoid Googling it or looking it up on TV Tropes since they'll spoil the story, trust me on this), revolves around four university students (from left to right), Irisu Kyouko, Edogawa, Uujishima, Ageha, and the events that follow them on their camping trip. One night of their camping trip, Edogawa tells a story/rumor that's been going around of a witch who murders people.
This is a physics-based puzzle game where have you to try and destroy blocks that fall from the screen and earn points. The game has some Tetris elements since blocks fall down and they progressively get faster and more shapes and colors appear as you chain points together. The game is played with a mouse; left-click fires a slow white block and right-click fires a fast gray blocks at the ones falling on screen. The game is over when A) your Life Meter reaches zero or B), blocks pile up to screen that no more can be produced. To really earn points, you must collide blocks of the same color so they break up harmlessly upon landing, and in do so recovers your life meter. Although the real puzzle of this game is the story; as you get higher and higher points, you unlock more pieces of the game's story through still images and the dialogue in them, changes made of a photo of Irisu's classmates, and text files.
An "enhanced" version of this game called Irisu Syndrome! Metsu (いりす症候群！ 滅, Irisu Syndrome! Destruction) was later released at Comiket 77 but later became a part of the freeware version as an unlockable side game, with enhanced visuals, updated music, and broaden the storyline. Originally in Japanese, but people at the /jp/ boards made an English patch for the game. If you're into Higurashi, you might like this game. Otherwise, the disturbing stuff that happens might (and probably will) terrify you. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Gaming / Re: Rosenkreuzstilette ~Blades of the Rose Cross~ Thread
« on: October 23, 2011, 05:37:07 AM »Well, I'm a little late with my reply, but what the hey...I took some time to listen to the *mp3 on the other blog post you made earlier after making the posts here. And I try to practice typing fast, but I usually make those kinds of mistakes.. Would it be better if I refer to you as "Darkside" instead?
Nope. That was a segment from one of the MP3s Tristan MacAvery sent me back in August. I thought my next bowel movement would consist of bricks when I read his email and heard the clips - a mere two hours after I first contacted him, no less. I had a bit of trouble sedating my inner fanboy while recording the announcement, which is why my voice sounds a little odd (that and I had just recovered from an acute case of bronchitis).
The lesson learned: Aim for the stars; you just might reach them.
By the way, it's TDOMMX, not TDOMXX. When people see photos of me from before I shaved off my mustache, they could swear I looked like an out-of-work porn star. I don't need anything else tacitly reinforcing that idea, even if unintentionally.
Yep. Kira's great, isn't she? Her takes on Tia, Lilli, Luste, and Iris are all awesome. Her Trau isn't bad, either. Only three of the roles have been cast as of this writing, though. I have yet to hear renditions of Freudia, Grolla, Sichte, and Liebea that I'm fully satisfied with.After hearing the *mp3, I can't wait to hear Freudia, Grolla, Sichte, and Liebea dubbed in English by you guys.
Yep. Patrick makes an awesome Mister Zeppy.
My mantra: if you're not going to do a job you can be damned proud of, you shouldn't be doing it in the first place - let someone who knows what they're doing handle it instead and take the opportunity to learn from them.Again, Studio SiestA should take notes and stop hiring bad translators to localize any doujin games that might be coming to XBLA (Trouble Witches NEO! annoyed me enough already with the bad translations and dubbing, although I kinda use the "two sides of every coin" approach with this game since the awful localization can be seen as funny as Castle Shikigami II's English localization).

Breath of Death VII: The Beginnig (Xbox 360) - You know, this is actually a pretty good parody romp through the old days of RPG games. I really like game's humor and characters and the gameplay boasts surprisingly good depth and challenge. I'd definitely buy this again on Steam if get the chance.
