Utawarerumono interview stuff

So I heard that the Utawarerumono PS2 official guidebook (2006) had an interview with interesting info in it, and so got it. Just translating/summarising some snippets. NOTE: I CAN'T AINU SO I'M PROBABLY TRANSLITERATING A LOT OF NAMES WRONG. People Washimi Tsutomu: Director Suga Munemitsu: Writer Amaduyu Tatsuki: Character designer Utawarerumono takes place in Japan (in the future). The Earth's axis has changed a bit in this world. The rest of the world of course still exists, and there are other races not seen in the game living on other continents. -Suga There were initially plans to have Benawy, Crow, and/or Oboro die at the end. Crow even had a scene written, where he falls off a cliff along with an Av-Kamu yelling "long live lord Hakuoro!". -Suga Q: What is Hakuoro, anyway? Suga: To put it simply, "someone with power" (力のある者). He is called a god, but this isn't the sort of god found in contemporary religion, but rather something w...

Project D2

See the complete Demonbane pastebin for everything including project D2  Nitroplus 10th anniversary book Nitroplus Complete Project D2 proposal by Haganeya Jin (Some additional details from Haganeya's twitter: http://togetter.com/li/41991) Summary + partial translation LOST WORLD Demonbane's Big Bang Impact destroys all the Great Old Ones, all the Outer Gods (including all avatars of Nyarlathotep and Yog-Sothoth and Shub-Niggurath), the solar system, the galaxy, other galaxies, and then the entire universe, and lets off a metallic warcry, that might also be a cry of lamentation, in the midst of the void where even time has ceased to exist. But it still hides a glimmer of hope in its heart. STORMBRINGER A turbulent age filled with wars fought by magic. Hadou Zaibatsu clashes with the Church of Starry Wisdom. Daijuuji Kuzaku and Demonbane Twosword's world. A failed summoning of a dark god fractures the world, turning it into a game for the chaos. The knight chase...

Let's play: Super Robot Wars Scramble Commander the 2nd (1)

Image
Have a separate Twitter account just for realtime updates on this LP. So yeah, I got Scramble Commander 2 for 800 yen. Never played this (or SC1) before. It's not a direct sequel to SC1, just numbered 2 because it has the same system (it's an RTS). No videos. I don't have any capture shit. Just text and pictures.  DISCLAIMER: I WILL TAKE MY OWN TIME TO PLAY THIS AND RESERVE THE RIGHT TO GIVE UP HALFWAY THROUGH OR ABANDON THE GAME FOR MONTHS AT A TIME* *Now that I've actually played it though it's pretty good so I'll probably advance a a decent enough speed Blah blah blah MU attacked 15 years ago and Tokyo Jupiter, Macross drops from the sky ten years ago and there was a war over it, one year war and shit, five years ago the gitaijuu from Godannar were starting to fuck everyone over but "tokki" (tokushukidouheiki = "special mobile weapon" = super robots) were mass produced and beat them. Super robot were considered overpower...

Turn A Gundam Complete Record Collection 2

Image
Just some stuff from this book (and no, I don't have the first volume. May get it later.) Stuff translated from Turn A Gundam Complete Record Collection 2: The Memory of Second Wind About the Sackträger (ties in to G-Reco stuff) At the end of the Universal Century, it seemed that the countless space wars would finally come to an end, but the unending consumption had reduced Earth's resources close to zero. During this age, Earth was still the center of human civilization, and mankind sought to restore civilization on Earth. To do this they needed massive amounts of materials, which had to be mined from asteroids which were moved near to Earth. The Sackträger's predecessor, the fixed orbital elevator, was built in order to make moving the mined resources down to Earth easier. This megastructure was also supposed to be a symbol of peace, and Earth did in fact have peace for a few hundred years after the construction of the orbital elevator. It seems tha...

I'll be mostly offline a until I clear Sen no Kiseki II. Of course to clear the game I have to GET the game which means I have to wait for fucking Sagawa who are taking over a fucking day to ship me a game from Tokyo to Tokyo. I took the day off for this. I woke up at 8 AM hoping it'd arrive in the morning. It's 1 fucking PM and the fuckers still haven't even gotten the game to my delivery centre. Wow, fuck these guys. Are they bringing it on foot or something? This isn't the first time Sagawa fucked me over either, they once managed to LOSE A PACKAGE and then suddenly brought it over a month later with holes in the box . Fuck Sagawa. Edit: It's TWO FUCKING PM and they still haven't gotten it to my delivery centre. It takes them a day for a fucking half hour drive. I just looked it up on Google Maps. It's half a fucking hour from their business centre to the delivery centre for my neighbourhood. My package left the business centre YESTERDAY ...
