Re: The art of translation?

From what I've learned, the "ッ" kana symbol is used to represent a repeated consonant (ステップ = Suteppu = Step) It's closer to the truth to say that the small ツ or つ represents any kind of forced stop, at the end of a word or sentence, as Tsuba said, and also within a word. When we write Ja...

Online/Electronic Manga Self-Publishing

Hey all, your friendly neighborhood EG raw provider here. I recently got a new girlfriend who is a really talented manga artist, but due to financial reasons never ended up using her talent. We both have full time jobs, but I was thinking it would be loads of fun to make a comic/graphic novel togeth...

Re: ::GANTZ::

I was just in the konbini and I flipped through a manga and saw Gantz. Hadn't read in a while, but shit was falling from the sky in a sweet 2pg spread! Is that the latest chapter you read? Insanity! I'm guessing we haven't gotten any more answers since I stoped reading? (They were with the kansai te...

Re: Golgo 13

I still have the english NES cartridge "Goglo 13." Pretty sick spy game for the NES, music was awesome but the story didn't really make any sense when I was, like, 10.

Btw, sweet water level. Sniper level was shit though, I had no idea how to control that shit.

Re: ::GANTZ::

Well, speaking from my couple weeks of experience thus far, I would definitely say that the Japanese make a much bigger deal of boobs than we do in the west (at least here in Tokyo). You really get the impression of "loving what you can't have" here, since the vast majority of Japanese gir...

Re: The art of translation?

I usually use this online kanji lookup and this online dictionary for my simple needs. But being able to just draw the kanji sounds awesome, instead of typing in some strange SKIP code or number of strokes to look it up. Here's a great online Kanji dictionary that I still use when I want to lookup ...

Hey Aether, Well, I can only speak from my own limited experience, but I've been translating for a few months now--maybe I'm not supposed to talk about the project I'm working on, so I won't say more, is it a secret release? Who knows, I'm just a lowly translator. But anyway, I'm mother tongue Engli...

Re: The one and only Xbox 360 thread

It sure is weird how politicians think they can control the way a society thinks through censorship. What I think is funny is that it normally works in the opposite direction. Suppression and repression lead to people wanting something more, just like sexual suppression leads to obsessive behavior a...

I always thought the coolest DBZ attack (besides Majin Vegetas suicide bomb) was Tenshin-han's Neo-Tribeam. Especially when he held Cell in a cell (pardon the pun) by attacking him with it through an entire episode. Ya, I vaguely remember that. How was he able to do that? Was it something inherent ...

Ya, Shadow of the Colossus really elevated gaming into an art form. You're right, I would definitely say the atmosphere was one of the most compelling things about that game.
