I know, weird. A poll. I’m pretty sure I know what’s going to win but here’s hoping for a surprise. Pick a game, any game. We’ll play the shit out of it. And by play the shit out of it I mean it’ll take months to complete. Like usual. DEAL WITH IT.

You have been challenged to design some icons and windows for Kuoushi’s Wild ARMs stream. Since we found out that you can change practically any icon in the game, as well as the window and window borders, I want to play the rest of Wild ARMs with some customized icons.

Now, this does not mean you have to do EVERY SINGLE ICON. If you feel like doing one icon, go ahead. They are 16×16 with 15 colors though there are 3 reserved brown colors for the icon frame. Design whatever you want while keeping the icon frame in mind, post an image link in this thread, and you could see it in game the next stream!

To help you, I have taken the liberty of making an image that contains all of the current icons and their purposes:

Unfortunately since I’m poor I have no real rewards to give out other than maybe 1 copy of Nuclear Dawn and 1 copy of Shadowgrounds. I’ll give them to the two people whose icons I like the best. Participation prize will be seeing your icon in game, basically.

Bonus points if you can design a fun window set for the game too:

Go wild!”

Yes, news that I’m sure you guys have been waiting for, there’s another chapter of Oniwakamaru the Visitor out. Has some nice character development and all that. So in keeping with letting you guys know when something I’ve been working on is released, here are some more links! Scanlated by Illuminati-Manga, you can find it here.

Also I translated Devilman G and some anonymous individuals scanlated a couple chapters of that. Devilman G is a re-telling of the original Devilman with some occult influences and a different focus.”

So we finally beat Suikoden 2, that means we have to pick what game to play next! Exciting news for all of us, I’m sure. I’ve got 4 games up on the poll, all are from the Playstation. Tomb Raider 2 and Final Fantasy Tactics I’m sure most of you know of, the other two choices need a little bit of introduction so I’ll link some Youtube videos here for you guys to check out.

So, vote up. This poll is only open for a day!

Edit: Also! Another series that I translated just had its first chapter released. It’s called Terra for Mars. All science fiction and shit. You got your standard thing where the world is running out of resources, so Earth tries to properly terraform Mars to relieve some of the stress on Earth. Something goes wrong during the terraforming process, though…

Really don’t want to spoil too much, because it’s pretty fucking great. Scanlated by Utopia, and readable here.”

More translated work by yours truly is finally starting to see the light of day on the internet. Here’s the second series I’d been working on lately, Oniwakamaru the Visitor.

The story revolves around a young man who is pure of heart to the point that it is detrimental to himself, and how his journeys with the demon inside of him. Think Devilman’esque. Two completely diametric personalities living within the same body. It’s a bit more than slice of life as shit is starting to happen in the series. Also, it’s by the same author as the amazing Riki-Oh that everyone should read whenever they get a moment that moment being right now.

This one was scanlated by Illuminati-Manga, and the release will be readable here.”

So as some of you are aware, I am a translator. Japanese to English and all that weeaboo stuff. I recently jumped into the world of scanlation again after a pretty long break and some of the projects I’ve been doing are starting to see the light of day. First of those being a little series called Wolfsmund, scanlated by Kotonoha.

Wolfsmund is about the St. Gotthard Pass which is an actual place, and is set in medieval times. Lots of unrest, secrecy, tyranny, you get the idea. It’s a pretty gritty story, and the author used to be an assistant to Kentaro Miura. If that name doesn’t ring a bell, then maybe the title Berserk does?

In any case, I am translating chapter 5 and onwards, so that means you’ve got some reading to be done if you’re interestd. It’s definitely worth a read, with hopefully many more chapters to come. Slight warning, it’s most definitely not safe for work.

I hope you guys enjoy the new site, I’ve worked pretty hard to make the site look a lot better for you guys. I think it will be much easier to use from here on out. We will go forward with this new design and try to make it as eye-friendly and full of color as we possibly can.

I know I have missed a few things here and there, but I’ll be going through and updating them as I find them.

I’d love to hear some opinions!

Highwang and I are going to be doing some multiplayer night tomorrow for the drunk night. That means we want you guys to take part as well for more fun! If you have a computer good enough to play Nuclear Dawn basically you just need to be able to run Source engine games, then come into the chat or contact us on Steam! I have some guest passes, and I think Highwang has some as well, so we can get a few more of you into the game. At least six.

This early announcement is so you can get it installed and things before we actually play it.

This all hinges on whether or not Highwang can stream the game, so uh, wait until he responds to this thread with an affirmative I guess.

In honor of TPR receiving a 300k scoville hot sauce from a friend, he wants to run an art contest. Your mission is simple.

Draw a picture using any means available to you Paint, Photoshop, Gimp, Pen, Paper of TPR taking a shit after drinking the hot sauce. It doesn’t have to be a comic or anything, the main thing is that you imagine what a shit would be like after using extremely spicy hot sauce, and then draw TPR taking said shit. That’s all. It doesn’t have to be AMAZING ARTWORK, it just has to be funny. If all you have is Paint, you still have a chance to win.

You might ask yourself, why would you draw such a disgusting picture? Well, the winner gets a $60 or less game of their choice on Steam. That’s a pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

Submit your entries as links in this thread, and the winner will be chosen sometime this coming Sunday.

Most importantly, have fun!

Edit: And the winner is… Highwang! With an honorable mention to Jacki.

INVITATION!

1am CST. It’s on the schedule as DRUNK PENIS. Get drunk and get drunk. And celebrate birthday times.”
