OMG! ZIRIA! ZIRIA!! ZIRIA!!! IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!! 34 YEARS LATER!! The epic/legendary Tengai Makyou/Far East of Eden: Ziria JRPG has finally been localized! Supper the Subtitler struck again! Simply unstoppable, NOTHING can prevent him from TOTAL PCECD localization domination!!!! WHACHA GONNA DO BROTHER?!?!


Supper writes: Tengai Makyou: Ziria is the debut entry of the Tengai Makyou series. Published by Hudson Soft for the PC-Engine CD-ROM² system in 1989, it was the first RPG ever released on CD and served as a showcase for the new medium, with elaborate visuals and voice-acting far beyond what any competing title could offer. Its success led it to become the first in a popular series, very little of which was ever released outside Japan.

I'm close to rating this one of the greatest PC Engine History/Legacy tours I've ever seen, it's definitely up there! Epic, pretty damn good! ShmupJunkie's selection of the best PCE music really helps, and now with Book/Part II it'll really seal the deal! He cleverly used the Ys Book I & II CD intro to take you into the past of this console's rich history which, while very successful in Japan, unfortunately lost out in the US due to several factors he touches upon.

Title: "Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes II"
Alt: "Dragon Slayer: Eiyuu Densetsu II"
Platform: PC Engine Super CD-Rom2
Produced by: NihonFalcom/Hudson 1992

facebook.com/NightWolve/posts/10222365253029555Localization potential? Recently on a whim I decided to tinker! To my surprise, the text/print system was the ~SAME as Emerald Dragon! So, could I port the 8x12 font/mod work here also? YES!!! And voila!


I also learned there's a control code space character of only 4 pixels width, so instead of using the common ANSI 0x20 char code which causes a spacing of 8 pixels wide via an 8x16 font, you use 0x60 to cause 4 pixels of width. That's how I got the 1st & 3rd lines to fit in the last image. Look at "What if I told you" and "under the control of" for example being squeezed tight to fit in a line. Will be useful at times and hopefully is also mirrored with the Emerald Dragon message/font functions! If you can never have a variable-width font, this is a somewhat useful fallback/alternative.

#1) A first-look teaser of the Emerald Dragon [PC Engine CD] English localization project has been published!!!  8) Took YEARS to get here...

#2) I got an email from David Michel, the PCE/PC-FX emulator author, informing me I had won his PC Engine CD contest!!! How about that ?? Hard to believe he's still around and running contests at MagicEngine.com... A really unexpected bonus! The game is Neo Metal Fantasy, a JRPG.

Kickstarter-triumph "Battle Princess Madelyn" Released - Inspired by the NEC SuperGrafx (December 6, 2018)!
 
https://www.gog.com/game/battle_princess_madelyn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MGGGYyaVMU

Classic retro gameplay for a whole new era!

* Trü NEC SuperGrafx Origin Story: [Developer] Chris' daughter Madelyn loved to watch him play Daimakaimura/Ghouls ‘n Ghosts on his SuperGrafx which led to her wanting to be IN the game! So eureka, dad's solution was to make her the star of her own!!!

* With the retro feel of Ghouls ‘n Ghosts and Wonder Boy 3, this will conjure up memories of the arcade era with its Unity driven hand-drawn pixel art

* 10 levels with five stages each, they're replayable with no starting over (that is unless you want to)

* Two modes including story (by a professional children's author) and arcade (for the experts)

* Hidden collectibles with extra rewards, weapons are upgradeable depending on your armour, which you can find through the blacksmith in story mode

* Madelyn's pet ghost dog "Fritzy" acts as both a weapon and a way to solve puzzles, allowing the player to tackle boss fights and maneuver puzzles.

* Weapons are specific to certain areas, providing access to secret locations

I haven't done sufficient updates to keep up with recent events but as many XSEED fans on Twitter know the company was BUSTED bigtime for cheating Brittany Avery after being fired with the disgraced WyrdWad pedo predator, Tom-chan "The KKK Witch" Lipschultz. This led to the fashionably flamboyant Executive Commander Sterling to produce this most excellent video lambasting XSEED for cheating people!** Boycott X.X.XSEED Games Facebook Page!
"As far as I'm concerned, we just elected NightWolve to office. And that prospect absolutely terrifies me..." - Tom "WyrdWad" Lipschultz, xXxSEED Games (Nov. 8th, 2016, D.J. Trump Election Victory)Are republican customers "irredeemable" or "deplorable" to X.X.XSEED Games? Should they take their money elsewhere, are they unwanted, especially if they voted Trump??Has Tom-chan "The KKK Witch!" Lipschultz unwisely politicized his petty, criminal, unAmerican company, divisively pitting democrats against republicans in the Falcom fanbase? Will he ever be held accountable for all the times he has embarrassed XXXSEED?Hypothetical: Does a potential job applicant at XXXSEED face bigoted, political discrimination if he/she can be outed as republican? Is this out of the realm of possibilities considering Comrade Tom-chan's clear California blacklisting/blackballing/bigoted mentality? I honestly don't think so, and FYI, it's illegal under federal law, though I doubt he and most of his coworkers understand that...

"
XXXSEED XXXCESS: Tom-chan plays the libelous Hitler card on Donald J. Trump! SHOCK!!!! A "cute" NightWolve=Trump=Hitler "equation" to boot, an "exceptional" election gift, all for yours truly! Thanks Tom!!! Love ya ole buddy!
Source: xXxSEED_Tom_Lipschultz_NightWolveTrumpHitler_Libel.jpg


Today, the unhinged meltdown by the criminal X.X.XSEED Games employee, Tom-chan "The XXXSEED Henchman" Lipschultz, is now complete! "President NightWolve" has officially been sworn in! History has been made! Let us move forward in the business of making America great again, no, GREATER than it has ever been and for ALL Americans! Let Love Trump ALL Hate! I am truly humbled, thank you and God bless you, God bless America!!!!!!! :P

Note: This lying, libelous Facebook post was never meant for your eyes... Comrade Tom-chan locked it for Friends-only, asked that nobody share it, but somebody betrayed him yet again (e.g. his deletion from Seldane's forum) by leaking a screenshot. Also, I've been assured by Wikileaks that the leaker is NOT Russian, NO government is responsible for this leak! We can't reveal our sources for their protection, especially now that XSEED has a psycho-stalker-doxer helping them, but we really don't want XSEED running around stoking Russia-phobia or blaming "Nazis" under their beds, etc... ;)

Background: Upon Donald Trump's Nov. 8th election victory, in one of the most diabolical defamatory tactics I've seen, the criminal employee at xXxSeed Games -- who criminally cheated/exploited/abused 4 Ys fan translation projects (by fans FOR fans, NOT corporations!) to unfairly, unjustly hijack 24,891 pre-translated strings (Jeff had ZERO consent to transition our free fan projects into commercial endeavors in secret collusion! He NEVER would've received THOUSANDS of free/slave work hours under FAN TERMS if he disclosed his lunatic self-serving views with the FIRST project that he could make secret business deals behind the backs of his partners with only the text he typed after getting the benefit of somebody else's free work hours/time on this earth! That's worker abuse/exploitation AND IP Rights violations on my proprietary translation software which was ONLY given to him under fan terms, yet he used it one last time for the secret exports to XSEED Games for commercial/profiteering terms, then kept 100% of the money and disappeared into the night for YEARS! Literally THE MOST disgusting localization company in history!!!) -- took to his Facebook account to equate me/NightWolve to Donald Trump, before then equating Trump to Adolf Hitler, the WWII genocidal dictator who went on a world conquest and extermination spree!!! How original, right ? Everybody I hate is Hitler! SHOCK!

Realize the full diabolical nature of what this libelous criminal did... He's trying to exploit/harness all the ultra-partisan and divisive hatred for Trump (which has led to vandalism/violence/arson!) and redirect it right at my doorstep, and it worked, a psycho-stalker-doxer answered the call with a dox job after reading it, one of XXXSEED's Senran Kagura customers who in bizarre fashion also spammed me on Twitter with his pedophilia fantasies and an anime porn GIF, all to creep me out... He's a kindred spirit with Tom-chan who also recognizes the "importance" of protecting animated pedo porn to, you know, "protect real children..."

However, despite this whole unfortunate ordeal, in the spirit of unity, bipartisanship, building bridges, coming together after a tough election battle, I decided in magnanimous fashion to assure X.X.XSEED Games on Twitter that I, ladies and gentlemen, intend to be a president for ALL Americans! ALL Americans, whether in red states OR in blue states as there is ONLY the United States of America!!! :P

...And for the love of all that is holy, please stop calling Hillary Clinton 'Crooked Hillary.' Set an example for the American people: don't use derogatory nicknames just because you don't like someone. if nothing else, it's rude and disrespectful.
"

Expert Analysis: Tom-chan equates NightWolve to Trump, then Trump to Hitler, a NightWolve<=Trump<=Hitler "equation" if you will... "Calling" your target Hitler versus "equating" is a distinction without a difference! He played the libelous fearmongering Hitler card! AND THEN!!! Seconds later, he demands YOU stop calling Hillary Rotten Nixon "Crooked Hillary" to set a good example for manners... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! How about Tom-chan first stop equating the republican targets of his political Far Left hack wrath to "Hitler" because he doesn't like them ? If nothing else, it's not only rude and disrespectful, it's libelous character assassination/defamation on a FAR GREATER scale than something like "crooked..." MASSIVE cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy 101, brought to you by XXXSEED Games!

If manchild Tom-chan wants to levy *rational* criticism on Trump's policies, he can do so without invoking Hitler but he wants to spread fear, hysteria, panic, paranoia, and hatred for the president (AND FOR ME)... If he feels Trump is a demagogue, say so, but why become a demagogue yourself to "expose it" and skirt libel laws in the process by invoking a WWII genocidal monster ?? These and MANY MORE questions he'll never have to answer for... He also tried to hide behind acknowledging Godwin's Law, the weasel that he is, which is about stopping reckless/perpetual Hitler libel/insults - we call that having it both ways!!! Comrade Tom-chan...he's a special, exceptional breed, that's for sure! THE "exceptional testicle" of the localization industry... Quite interesting he was thinking of me on election night and donated this unhinged rant to Facebook, heh...

2020 - What does Brittany Avery (Hero Hatsuu) have to say about Tom-chan "the KKK Witch," her former co-worker, after both were fired in late 2018 ? Well, we have the Falcom discord to thank for these revelations:



1) Brittany says Tom Lipschultz is a "top tier moron" that "should've been fired years ago..." OH MY GOD, YESSS! I know I've been saying it for years, but to actually get confirmation someone INSIDE XSEED felt the same is incredible!!!

2) Brittany says she called Tom "an asshole" to his butt-ugly disgusting face, said never to speak to her again being very furious with his protest warrior stunt of leaking the "KKK Witches" joke that unintentionally references a US terrorist group but was merely meant as a word play on "NKK Switches," a company in Japan, with no idea by the developer what KKK can mean outside of Japan!



Rebuttal Forthcoming. I hate to spread his libel before defending myself, but I'll eventually address his lying and distortions when mood and time permit me. I have decided to conclude Tom-chan is just as much a sociopath as Jeffrey the Cocky Cock-Flasher is given the same delusional denials and pathological lying liar behavior that this manchild engages in.

Prepare to taste justice...SHOVEL JUSTICE that is!! :) For only $9.99 at GOG.com while on sale ($5 off from the regular price), why not ??

I had been wanting to buy this game for some time now after playing it at Best Buy many months ago and found myself actually having...fun! It's more than just a nod to classic retro gaming goodness like Megaman, Zelda II, etc. it actually had help from the original Megaman composer, Manami Matsumae, who wrote 2 tracks for it!!! This heavily influenced my decision to buy it, even though I'm very backlogged and rarely make time to play a game in full (barely one per year).

Can you dig it ? I SAY AGAIN, CAN YOU DIG IT ?? You know, the last knight that made fun of his shovel, well, he's not laughing anymore, let's just put it that way... :P




So, funny enough, while visiting my GOG account to actually make the purchase, I noticed I had Inbox notifications and I found 2 people had messaged me about "good ole" XSEED->XGREED Games... Hah!! You can read what I wrote in full at my special donation to XSEED, my boycott page:

https://www.facebook.com/boycottxseed/posts/1022209784565182




The unjust criminality of Tom Lipschultz, Jeff Nussbaum, Ken Berry Wrong, etc. under the banner of this "X.X.XSEED Games" outfit has NOT gone unnoticed folks! You can't fool all of the people ALL of the time, most especially with the mountain of bullshit "excuses" that Tom has concocted and showered the Internet with to defend all the shenanigans that transpired! These people really are petty, disgusting and I've never seen anything like this embarrassing company before...

XSEED's resident bozo, Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz, pushing an unlicensed/illegal/untaxed repro/bootleg "business" on his Youtube account... SHOCK!!
Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz, the disgusting, hypocritical, bigoted criminal cheat of X.X.XSEED Games uploaded this recent video with his 'WyrdWad' Youtube account where he openly promotes a for-profit unlicensed/illegal/untaxed bootleg/repro "business" for the retro MSX2 platform!!! For reference, their pay-to-play "business" websites are: http://www.ebsoft.fr/shop/, http://www.repro-factory.com/, or http://reprofactory.blogspot.fr/

While the particular game he's pimping is indie, made by for-profit fans (which normally is considered "evil" in his fanatical fan credo anti-capitalist commie mindset), it has a copyright violation issue: The pay-to-play profiteers didn't get a license from the band Depeche Mode, thusly stole the melody of one of their hit songs, "Just Can't Get Enough" for use in a for-profit/commercial cart product... Compare the melody with his uploaded video... Also, do you think proper sales taxes are collected and reported by this gang ?? ARE THEY PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE ?? ARE THEY SQUARE WITH ALL TAX/COMMERCE LAWS ?? YOU KNOW, JUST ASKIN'!!!

I realize the game is homebrew by fans and it'd probably be square with the law if they hadn't ripped off Depeche Mode, but if you also look at the website's blogspot, you'll find old Konami games that are being repro'ed... A few of the front and center games on the main site are fan ports of professional games which also would've been done without a license, now packaged up in nice pretty plastic ready for fans to fork over cash in an unlicensed/untaxed pay-to-play scheme! So yeah, upon further examination, it is a repro-selling outfit per its name, not all the games are innocent indie fan creations and the one he pimped would earn a copyright strike for ripping off Depeche Mode...

Alternate Title: "Ladies' Man Lipschultz" :P
Random XSEED customer getting "charmed" by him:

To be clear, MY personal position is irrelevant, I act as the reporter here! I wouldn't give a rat's ass normally, and there are some nice bootlegs out there, I own some that were donated to me, but THIS MONSTER right here tried to viciously incite the public against me before he was hired by XSEED Games on similar grounds! His hypocrisy and criminality are the issue here!

Tom and "power trolls" like Psycho Kirsten "omgfloofy" Miller attempted to hypocritically torment and browbeat me down for thought crimes in "violation" of their fanatical "fan credo" ideology! "Get a license if you wanna sell, cooperate with the fan community, it's supposed to ALWAYS be free!!! COOPERATE OR RAWWWRRRR!!!" You know the fanatical types out there with their insufferable self-serving moralizing, hypocritical lectures, and worst case they come in certifiable lunatic flavors like the patch leaker, Pyscho PruvMeRong from GameFAQs/4chan! It's all partly why the bigot used his pathetic company to punish me! And now, now you find the corrupt bastard promoting an illegal/unlicensed/untaxed business that HE likes and gosh golly that makes it all A-OK, so it's newsworthy in my book!

Conclusion: F*CK THIS GUY!!!! Seriously, F*CK THIS AHOLE!!!!! Nothing but an arrogant, petty, small-time dirtbag that used his disgusting company for revenge to make his vengeful self feel good in life... That's right, I said it, a petty ass dirtbag, just like Jeff! And the fact is, XSEED really is a disgrace in the videogame publishing world, I genuinely am disgusted it tied Falcom and the Ys series in the same house that publishes weird, questionable, violent stripping and pedo-pandering underage-big-boob girl games, along with their 4 petty criminal sneak/cheat operations on Ys fan translations that they STILL refuse to admit was divisively, criminally cheating one party over another, the lying hacks that they are!! You have NO decency sir, I award you NO points, and may God have mercy on your soul!

Yes, Jeff "Call-me-Psycho DeuceBag!" Nussbaum's sister genuinely apologized for the bigoted monster! That's worth something I suppose...
I did report Jeff to his sister via email years ago, but got no confirmation, and I wanted to report him to his father (wanted him to know what a bastard he brought into this world), but he died before that could happen unfortunately... So via Facebook on July 11, 2016, I had a successful exchange with his sister. I wanted somebody in his family to know what a criminal monster he is since he callously opted to remain unapologetically silent for so many years, play stupid about it all! He believes he should've just gotten to escape with silence, aside from his lying, libelous 2011 hit-piece on HardcoreGaming101 thanks to that destructive maniac John Szczepaniak (a Thomas Lipschultz' buddy). He also attacked me at least once on XSEED corporate forums, if you can believe that! I know his wife is aware also, but she's got nothing to say about her criminal husband naturally (stuck with him for better or worse).

Anyway, below is our exchange and her apology seems pretty sincere. I opted to redact her name as a courtesy. Now since Jeff had been trashing both her and his mother at his NeoGeo c*ck-flashing stomping grounds and on Facebook (he talks to me like he talks to his mother, funny enough, all tough guy, "Hey. You. Yes, you."), I was already aware of his estrangement with his family which she mentions... No surprise they don't speak to each other, right ? I should've paid attention to things regarding his malcontent bridge-burning nature or background-checked him more and maybe I would've realized I shouldn't have had ANYTHING to do with this monster far earlier on! Too late for me, but I report these things so no other fool ever works with him again, much less Tom Lipschultz of XSEED and Psycho Kirsten Miller, etc. Any of those who support the criminal self-serving/arbitrary/greedy translator "master/slave cheat principle" (the translator becomes the 100% master owner, while the programmer is but a mere "slave" to be exploited/abused in commercialization opportunities in a "too bad sucka" fashion...).





What better place to showcase a recent meme I created in his honor via his own words, ode to the Psycho DeuceBag, the callous, cocky c0ck-flasher, emphasis on the "cocky":

Is X.X.XSEED [Lame] Games waging a "war on women" of all ages, from underage teens and up ? Hmmmm...Does X.X.XSEED Games pander to animated ped0philia-loving pedo-perverts ?  :-\Did XSEED really "cheat" that NightWolve guy or is he just "crazy" ? I'm undecided. They seem like such friendly people, like Tom...I guess it all just depends on what the meaning of "cheat" is... Sigh, so confusing, who to believe here...
Is XSEED waging a "war on women" of all ages, from underage teens and up ? Recall the Huffington-Puffington Post article on their stripping game whereby some in the feminist camp would say yes... Do they pander to pedo-pervs at some level, however small or not ? We'll have a bit of a look at what one of their customers said.

First, let's recap, (1) we know that Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz used his company for revenge against another Falcom/Ys fan that he was feuding with before being hired by the company, (2) that they're criminal cheats who'll exploit the fan community and the free work hours that were done in the past for fan purposes so they can save some time and a buck or two in localization costs! (3) We also know Tom was a highly animated animated-child p0rn0gr@phy defender way before working for XSEED Games... You can find his activist posts trying to get people to lobby the Japanese government not to pass restrictions against cartoon pedo-p0rn0gr@phy back when such legislation came up. Recall his quote, "And yes, I do defend animated child p0rn0gr@phy under freedom of expression and am PROUD to do so!" So yes, you could say he is "highly animated" on such subjects with that big mouth of his... ;)

Now as people know, I'm staging a boycott because this is a bigoted, arrogant, stubborn company that refuses to apologize and correct the injustices they perpetrated against me in their shameful, illegal Ys script acquisition deals that led to my lying, conniving, thieving, scheming, criminal translator, Jeff "Call-me-Psycho DeuceBag!" Nussbaum, pocketing 100% corporate profit/credit for 4 translated results he was in possession of given our paperless fan partnership/organization, that is, due to thousands of my IT/tech work hours for Japanese text and image extraction/preparation and translation software/etc... They actually broke the law in their commercialization efforts, but literally DO NOT CARE so long as NightWolve "got exactly what he deserved, NOTHING," it's all good! They think cheating me is BETTER PR/public relations than not... That's STILL the malicious mentality that you're dealing with here, monsters without ANY remorse/empathy for the hurt they caused, disgusting as it is!! It's ironic how Lipschultz became part of the "evil corporation" and used it for evil being he was a bigoted anti-capitalist commie decrying the evils of capitalism once upon a time...

Per my boycott, I can't judge these "games" of theirs since I don't buy their products, am NOT a fan, and I advocate said boycott until (1) they publicly apologize for cheating me and (2) properly credit me in the Ys games in question! How hard is that ?? HOW HARD IS THAT ?? To the shills that pretend this is crying over spilled milk, that's a LIE - they could make peace with me tomorrow and correct the crediting in the Steam releases in a day or two! Instead they choose defiance daily, thus I do too! That's how it goes! If it was too late to fix this, THEN you could bark at me to "get over it" and demand I cease negative comments about them... But, they continue to refuse on a daily basis, which means they do not learn from their past and if they truly believe they did nothing wrong, we should worry they could do this again to somebody else in the future! I believe in accountability, even with a pathetic videogame company such as this one!

To the point, it's great when I can find other people that have no connection to my grievances and are willing to point out that this is a disgusting company in their opinion for other reasons. Enter Sean of Minnesota, a father of a 4 year-old daughter who was willing to criticize XSEED, tell them what he thinks of this "Senran Kagura 2" game they recently localized! I, ladies and gentlemen, on the other hand have officially been blocked from posting on their main Facebook page even though I never posted there since 2010 (I think)... The troll behind the XSEED account answering him back is none other than Thomas Lipschultz. I recognize his writing and line of thinking anywhere - he likely blocked me. However, I can still post in the FB page of the pedo-perv Senran Kagura 2 game (my post is still not deleted, am surprised)! Wonder why ?



I love how Lipschultz reminds him that it's simply "his opinion..." Well duh, to quote Maddox, who else's would it be ?? Hahahaha!!!!

"That we cheated you, NightWolve, is simply your opinion (hint hint, it has no weight, we don't care, it's mostly limited to, you know, just YOU!), you didn't translate a single word!! You were just a text delivery boy, you will NEVER, NEVER be credited, mwahahahaha!!! You delivered text from point A to point B which constitutes a 'service' at best! As for IP Rights violations, your software being used for commercial purposes to export the translations, GIVE ME A BREAK, it was just a poor man's Microsoft Notepad/Word equivalent, NOBODY had to respect your copyright/IP on it, NOBODY, least of all Jeff or us, mwahahahahaha!!!!! Who cares, cry me a river, just suck it up, move on, get over it, get over it, GET OVER IT!!! We won, you lost!!!!!"





The rest speaks for itself. So yeah, it's good to see more people speaking up about this disgusting criminal cheat of a company for their own reasons. It does seem there's an intersection with their criminal/immoral/unethical behavior in how they criminally cheated me and the type of games they choose to localize. There's a disconnect that's there... They're, in their mind, "above" our common social mores, values, good taste, and even laws if they can get away with it...

Can you think of other companies that would make enemies of fans of their products such as what they did ?? I cannot... I don't understand their continued defiance in providing a remedy, that is, what they gain by it... I can only guess it's vindictive satisfaction because the other possibilities don't make much sense...

X.X.XSEED Games, ladies and gentlemen, living up to their rip-off of a name... ;) Give 'em a round of applause, especially to Lipschultz! Ain't he a great guy, that Tom ??

Wow, the embarrassment and shame he's brought to this company, I've never seen anything comparable like it elsewhere in all honesty and yet he STILL has a job there! His behavior is rewarded/tolerated! How this lying, cheating criminal monster pulled this all off (same goes for Jeff) I'll never really know!!!!

This led to the fashionably flamboyant Executive Commander Sterling to produce this most excellent video lambasting XSEED for cheating people!So...I fired up a cracked copy of Ys Chronicles+ by the RELOADED pirates for the 1st time to see how Falcom upgraded the Ys Complete DirectX5 game engine, been curious, and never saw it till today... Surely Tom-chan Lipschultz doesn't mind, after all, he happily violated the licensing terms of my English fan patches before being hired by X.X.XSEED Games AND again violated my IP Rights AT the company given my translation software -- all in conspiracy with Jeff Nussbaum -- having shamefully ensured I was criminally cheated (hence the boycott campaign), so what's good for the goose is good for the gander!



To the point, observe his characteristic lameness above having defaced the Ys I PC script by inserting a pop-culture reference which you'll see right from the start, a line from an old 80's song "ManEater" by Hall & Oates... I honestly can't believe he started the game off like that thinking that he's in ANY way, shape or form "funny!" What a pathetic deucebag/duncebag I thought to myself seeing it with my own eyes for the very 1st time (only heard it rumored before now)... I can almost imagine the smirk on that disgusting vindictive face of his when he wrote it thinking it's a "plus" when nothing could be further from the truth, he just defaced the script... I felt it worth ridiculing, so I immortalized it proper with an ani-GIF.

P.S. This is yet another technical criminal copyright violation as I'm sure the X.X.XSEED gang did NOT license permission from the copyright owner to use a famous line as this verbatim in plagiaristic fashion for monetary gain in a for-profit commercial product... Let's call it what it is, it's PLAGIARISM without the licensing/permission, so write your OWN jokes you cheating, bigoted, arrogant f*cking aholes!!!! Once again, F*CK YOU and your disgusting excuse of a company!!!!!! You NEVER should've snuck around and illegally acquired those fan-translated results if it meant cheating one party over another, and objectively allowing for revenge given your disgusting employee started a public, nasty feud with said party BEFORE being hired!! You're Grade-A DISGUSTING and you tainted Falcom and ALL of Ys history with your unjust, bigoted, discriminatory actions!

Now "ManEater" was released on the H2O album in 1982, and the record label is RCA Records, who for the purposes of copyright would legally own the song, that is if the Hall & Oates group didn't work a deal to retain ownership of their songs. One party or the other is who you'd have to contact to legally use that line! So anybody surprised they ripped off yet another party besides me to publish their game ? :rolleyes: I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this company is a disgusting embarrassment, a blight in the videogame publishing world... Lipschultz lectured, demonized, and attempted to extort me based on respect of copyright law, but he and his company need quite a bit of education on the subject as it turns out...

Update #1: I'm gonna contact the legal department of RCA Records, show them the GIF, report XSEED's info, and hopefully they show interest in pursuing legal action which would REALLY make my day! Sure, the odds are .0000000001% they'd give a damn, but I'm gonna give it a shot, what the hell, there's nothing to lose other than a few minutes of my day!

Entry #12-21-2009: Jeff Nussbaum is an unhinged Homicidal Psycho Lunatic who wants to kill numerous www.Neo-Geo.com fans! True or False?

It appears he doesn't have to apologize or answer for ANY of his murderous rage rants, while I was supposed to be permanently erased from Ys history for my "sins" of criticizing freeloading and a handful of other "charges" that are always trumped up by the WyrdWad pedo-predator, Tom-chan Lipschultz, and his crew of angry misfits, which of course I can NEVER be forgiven for...


Evidence: wayback.neo-geo.com/forums/printthread.php?t=205910 (Click, then find "bleach"!)
Notes: I can confirm, his "Am I An Asshole?" thread WAS deleted! I'm 1000% certain it was the mod EvilWasabi who showed some sympathy towards him and laughed at me being doxxed to protect him! Nothing had been deleted prior to this to my knowledge, so very lucky WayBack still hosts it!!

Quote from: Psycho Jeff "Psycho DeuceBag" Nussbaum
...
And to help answer my own question here... to anyone who has a problem with how I choose to spend my own free time, do the rest of the world a favor.  Go mix up a paint stripper and bleach cocktail, and down it.  Ideally, feed some to any progeny you've made the mistake of siring beforehand. Yes, I am suggesting you off yourself and your misbegotten family, and keep your bloodline from further polluting the gene pool. (That's the general, non-specific "you," for those who never paid attention in English class.)

Some of you folks are cool and would be welcome in my home. Most of you, I'm completely indifferent toward, mostly out of simply not knowing you. A handful, witnessing, and perhaps contributing to, your agonizing demise would raise a dry smile.  And if you think I'm exaggerating, you really don't know the first thing about me. Then again, if you did, you wouldn't make such idiotic assumptions about my intentions to begin with. I don't mince words, tell lies, or play nice if I don't genuinely wish to.

And with that, I'm off to bed. The asshole has work to do.

I hate stupid people. I really, really do.

Eventually, there was a mass exodus, which included myself being more or less fired, though if I'd tried to collect unemployment, he'd have fought it tooth and nail.
...
If there's any one person in the world who richly deserves to be shot, it's this man. What a colossal ass he is. I hope he rots while he lives. Maybe all that dandruff will reach his pea-sized brain and kill him. His kids have the dire misfortune of looking like him. *shudder* Poor things.

These are kill/murder fantasies no matter how you try to spin them to cover-up for XSEED Games or NIS America promoting and rewarding this monster! And notice the last sentence, Jeff Nussbaum went after his ex-boss' family unprovoked, he involved/attacked the guy's kids, implying they're as ugly as their father! "Poor things, having the dire misfortune of looking like him" - he's implying they're all ugly!

Evidence: https://moriyamug.livejournal.com/2002/03/12/
Screenshot (In case he deletes): Jeff-Nussbaum-Ambulance-Crasher-Cock-Flasher3-12-2002.png

On March 12, 2002, The XXXSEED Cock-Flasher, Psycho Liar-in-Cheat Jeff "Psycho DeuceBag" Nussbaum, crashed into an ambulance because of his raging impatience with the driver in front!!! So, he made an attempt to change lanes in order to pass that person up, but met his match against an ambulance... Our EMS workers have a dangerous enough time in the their line of work, ya know, saving lives, they don't need homicidal/suicidal clowns like this guy (who wants to help kill or suicide numerous www.neo-geo.com fans!) roaming free behind the wheel... Good job DunceBag!! lol

Perhaps he was looking down at his shlong for a moment, thinking about how "hilarious" it'd be to flash a photo of it to the Neo-Geo.com videogame forum, and so he missed the fact that AN AMBULANCE ahead on the right lane would not clear out of the way in time, who knows, but given his 20-YEAR record of miserable failures in judgement such as drug addictions, long-term joblessness, a suicide-attempt, bankruptcy, losing mommy's condominium, etc. it's also no wonder he's a threat to other drivers... What a clown!

Quote from: Ambulance-Crasher Jeff "DunceBag" Nussbaum
What a spectacularly shitty day. As if my general gloom wasn't bad enough, on the way home... not two minutes after leaving my job's parking lot, no less... I get into an accident. With a f#cking ambulance, of all things.

Someone hates me.

Indeed criminal, MANY hate you! And now we also know you're dangerous to other drivers! Learn to drive or stay off the road you psychotic SOB!!!

Final Thought: How dumb is this guy to have publicly admitted this ?? The crazy psycho liar is not as smart as he thinks he is...

 ;DJust happened moments ago, an Ys buddy of mine (a big "fan" of X.X.XSEED's Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz and an ex-forum moderator of ALOY whose final act they're quite familiar with, heh) PM'ed me that an original Ys I & II Complete Limited Edition set had just gone up on eBay by HitJapan. He knew I wanted one after he showed me the one he bought and he kept an eye out for the next sale to pop up on my behalf. I should've bought my homie GillianSeed's copy when I had a chance during his great sell off of his Falcom collection many moons ago, but good ole MP83 scored that copy instead...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/311531949305



So HitJapan wanted $50 + $20 for shipping, BUT, they had a Make Offer option, so my initial haggle attempt was based on subtracting that $20 for shipping, to keep it at $50, my absolute max, so I offered $30... To my surprise and disappointment, the operator was online and accepted my offer a few minutes later... I wonder much lower I could've gone, but oh well, $50 it is!!! :)

It's a bit collectard to want this for my shelf basically since I played out the game and already have the Falcom Popular Edition which is the mini-me version of this full Limited Edition set. For the most part, it'll admittedly just be a shiny trophy of some of my Ys past. Always liked how they fashioned the box in the style of an ancient book of Ys. :) But yeah, oh well, I have a bit of collectard in me.

OH MY GAWWD! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! I beat a game today!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY!!! It is Popful Mail for the Sega CD, the product of the former Falcom Sega alliance which was later localized for the US by good ole Victor Ireland/Working Designs! Last game I beat was in August, 2013 (Kingdom Hearts [PS2]), so yeah, it doesn't happen very often if at all...

https://fantasyanime.com/garden/cd_popfulmail.htm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popful_Mail







Random Notes/Thoughts:

* ProTip: In order to play this game with the Kega Fusion emulator, YOU MUST enable the "Perfect Sync" option or it will not boot past the BIOS logo. Also, for Sega CD BIOS, I used the "Sega-CD Model 2 BIOS V2.11 (U) [!].gen" file.

(Thanks to FantasyAnime's Alej for this important tip as I couldn't get the image working at first because of it: https://fantasyanime.com/garden/cd_download.htm)

* Dislike: The camera is somewhat slow and doesn't center on your moving character. The latter allows for cheap enemy surprise hits given the desire to progress in a game very often outweighs cautious movement. Annoying!

* HOLY MOLY, but I can't recall a game with this many pop culture references quite honestly!

+ Opening Anime Sequence = "Get ready for-a big surprise" by Nuts Cracker decapitated head, total reference to "Total Recall" scene!+ Donald Trump!! Hah!
+"Win one for the Slickster" - A reference to Reagan's "Win one for the Gipper"
+ Robin Leech
+ Southern drawl character - "What in tarnation do you want from me now ? Leave me be!"
+ Sven = The Ahnold/Terminator/Pump you up/ - Sven was the steroid bodyguard's name in Ahnold's "The Running Man." Behold, the ultimate performance:+ French joke in a game world that has no concept of France, much less earth...

While Alan Oppenheimer is fairly famous for all his voice-acting work in 80's cartoons (He-Man, The Smurfs, The Transformers, Scooby-Doo, etc.) and did a great job voicing Darm and the opening narrator for Ys Book I & II, there's somebody else that worked on the game who achieved far greater fame that's worth mentioning when one fondly looks back at a great classic such as this for the NEC TurboGrafx-CD system!


Something I once learned from a Game Sack episode (thanks to Joe Redifer) and never was the wiser till it was explicitly pointed out: See that Thomas H. Church credit for Goban Toba ? Yep, that's one in the same as Thomas Haden Church, the Hollywood actor last known for playing SandMan in Spider-Man 3! The Ys Book I & II dub was well-funded after all and still is one of the best that I know of in a videogame!
As SandMan
As Goban Toba
How about that ? I was pretty surprised when I first learned of this. In addition to a high-quality dub, Ys Book I & II sports one of the greatest soundtracks in videogame history, right along with the sequels for the NEC CD consoles, and that is a big reason why I and many others became such devout Ys fans!!!! :) The magic of when I first fired up Ys Book I & II on my brand new Turbo Duo in the 90's still remains with me to this day. The partnership of Hudson Soft and Falcom led to some great things in gaming console history, and it's too bad Hudson is no longer with us...

Gotta give an enthusiastic thumbs up to "Mad Max: Road Fury!" It stars Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy as Mad Max. You might not realize it, but Tom Hardy also played the villain "Bane" in "The Dark Knight Rises (2012)," the final Batman movie in Christoper Nolan's rebooted and respectable trilogy.

rottentomatoes.com/m/mad_max_fury_road/

Now, you know if Rotten Tomatoes gives a friggin' action movie a 98%, chances are it's worth watching!!! That immediately got my attention about this one!

I'm quite skeptical of movie critics - I take their opinion with careful review. I've gotten a sense that they develop grudges at certain directors, producers and/or actors, and so they'll shit on something if said person was involved in the movie because of it... So there's a politics at work there. It could be a great popcorn movie on the merits, but one issue here or there, and they'll poop all over it! I also find that they're usually the hardest on the action movie genre where the theme is primarily shit blowing up and what not, so when I saw a 98% review score on there, I couldn't friggin' believe it... Did hell freeze over I thought ? So I knew this one was on my to-watch list for sure and it DOES indeed deliver!!

Another aspect that is really interesting to me is that George Miller/Miliotis, the original director of all the Mad Max movies, actually got to direct this one too!!! I would not have expected that the original guy from 1979 had something to do with this, and heck, he hit it out of the ballpark, it did well, and recovered its production budget by the US sales alone, $373,374,961 worldwide! And since it succeeded, he got the greenlight for another one, so good for him on that too!

See it! Now! The End.

How does a company like that end up ditching its New York Stock Exchange listing, its most famous developer [Hideo Kojima] and the eagerly awaited revival of one of its most-loved game franchises, all in the space of a month?"

Cleaning house, making way for "Konami: International Gambling Masters." ;) Well, so long Konami, for real, thanks for the memories... You will be missed... Honorable mentions go out to the Castlevania series, Metal Gear, Silent Hill, and Gradius/Lifeforce... And with that, I leave you with 2 great ani-GIFs that capture the situation well:

   
Well, you can't blame Solid Snake for turning on Hideo, I
mean, he did all the real work, risk-taking, getting shot at,
in the Metal Gear saga and probably for shitty pay, then was
left with "A Hideo Kojima game" stamped on all over

The drama was Psycho DeuceBag/Lipschultz/X.X.XSEED Games criminal sneak/cheat shenanigans all over again! Continue reading...

Post Status: 100% (Finished, good enough)

Name: Miikka Poikela
Alias: MP83
Profiles:
http://seldane.proboards.com/user/78
http://backloggery.com/MP83
Mug:


Premise: Miikka constitutes an "enabler" of Thomas Lipschultz, the criminal employee over at XSEED Games. To understand what I mean by that, recall the old Enmund Burke quote, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." The ONLY way for Lipschultz to get away with cheating me is due to Ys fans around him NOT standing up to him or XSEED in protest!! An environment without consequences! Miikka gained a position of possible influence, but chose not to use it in any way to correct a quite visible injustice committed by Lipschultz/Psycho DeuceBag/XSEED. There is both cowardice there and self-interest at work...

See, Lipschultz figured he'd most likely be cheered by Ys fans (especially by nutjobs like Psycho Kirsten "omgfloofy" Miller) once they learned I was cheated from the script deals! He figured he'd go down in history as the "hero" that gave NightWolve EXACTLY what he deserved, NOTHING! - He was right about that to some extent... He IS considered a "hero" for cheating me in hate-mongering places such as 4chan and GameFAQs, besides the Ancient Land of Ys forums where NightWolve-bashing became a fun sport, even once led by Lipschultz himself! Miikka never once lifted a finger in protest and I later learned partly why as well, Lipschultz got him image editing work and was giving him Special Thanks crediting in their games... Aaaaaaah, so the plot thickens!

Looking back on the history of Miikka, there was a two-faced nature about him. When the admin of the Ancient Land of Ys forum, Seldane, made an extra patch to apply over my Felghana patch which XCISED the crediting I added to the title screen, Miikka cheered him on. Basically, I had added a Main Credits section where B.J.Psycho DeuceBag was clearly credited as main translator to help combat the notions people developed that I was also the translator since they were too lazy to read the ReadMe, so it was a well-meaning effort in principle. For this, Seldane, always the little bitch, emphasis on the little, and an old forum member thief, angrily announced how he had erased this crediting... He prided himself on his troll actions - So why did Miikka cheer this disgusting manchild on ?

Below is the crediting he got in the Steam version of Felghana and is no doubt what bought Lipschultz a lifetime of loyalty. He's credited right after Andrew Dice, the guy who went suicidal trying to finish the "ED6: Trails in the Sky - SC" translation, a project that Psycho DeuceBagger didn't get (good to hear!) given his failures on the first one...


https://youtu.be/TAGa6TAhrEg?t=27m10s


Now, what if I made a patch for this Steam version or a full installer that erases his crediting ?? Do you think he would appreciate that, find it funny ?? I highly doubt it, I do... But yet, he supported a form of it when Seldane, one of the most arrogant and pompous a$$holes ever to grace the Ys scene, decided to do so... Strange...



Here's another bothersome case in the below link which I also screencapped.
https://www.ysutopia.net/uploads/PsychoJohnOnYsIVDub.htm#miikka


When Psycho John Schizomaniak went buck wild, threatening legal action against me for 3-4 sentences in my ReadMe, Miikka chimed in how he would've deleted my comments... But look at the link, look WAY WAY above what the guy allowed that nutjob to get away with in there... It's unbelievable!!! This f--king guy John caught a REAL lawsuit for much the same bullshit he did to me, fabricating stories, and the particular one he told was out of a "retelling" desire to help his buddy Thomas Lipschultz... Anyhow, the cognitive dissonance in that thread is off the charts... John was called out in the ReadMe for libel, for harassing the 2nd Ys IV dubbing project attempt, then he goes in that thread and drops tons more of libelous personal attacks, and hardly anybody bats an eye, including Miikka... Agness Kaku took good care of that piece of shit however, so I feel justice came around his way in having had to hire a lawyer and answer the charges in French court regardless of the recent dismissal! As for Miikka, you know, whatever, right ?? Exactly, "whatever..."



On the flipside, in one of our last exchanges, he once sounded very sympathetic to my plight with XSEED Games in a PM:
Quote from: MP83
September 28, 2013
Hey Nick,
First of all, I'm very sorry to hear what has happened to you, especially since you've suffered so much already. I hate to see bad things happening to my friends, especially if they don't deserve it.

I want to be brutally honest with you, even with the risk of this changing your opinion of me in a negative way. We're talking very bothering stuff here and I understand very well if you do suspect me of any wrongdoings, because the fact is that I am in good terms with Wyrdwad and Deuce, the two people that you really hate, and probably for good reasons. That's not to say that I'm the closest friends with them or anything like that.

I am terribly sorry if this tone of mine sounds like as if I wouldn't trust you, but the truth is that I really haven't paid that much attention to this issue between you guys, and have only read random bits from ALoY and your Ys Utopia website, so it's hard for me to judge who's correct and who's not (it's like a parent trying to choose which one of their children they'd love the most). The thing is: I have my own life to worry about here in Finland. So instead of meddling into other people's affairs that doesn't directly involve me, it's much more practical, and some ways even a selfish/Finnish way, to leave myself out of other people's problems and concentrate on my own life and its issues. This is the reason why you haven't seen me making any posts in the ALoY's "Boycott XSEED" thread, for instance.

That being said, I have not told either Wyrdwad or Deuce, or anyone else for that matter, anything bad about you, let alone mentioned this link thing (which, by the way, I'm not totally sure about what you meant with that specifically). Why would I? I got nothing against you, plus I don't see what I would gain from doing such a thing. At least I can't think of anything.

If you want to play it safe and stop trusting me with your personal stuff for whatever reason, if only because I'm in good terms with Wyrdwad and Deuce, then go ahead, I'll understand. Sure, I would be a bit hurt if you'd make such a decision, but I'd understand nonetheless and not think any less of you. In the situation that you're in, it's hard to trust people or taking any slightest risks. Hell, I'd probably even do the same if I were in your shoes.

Whatever you decide to do, I'd like to wish good luck with your life. Keep fighting a good fight for what you believe is right, hopefully there being justice in the end. Hopefully I didn't offend you with anything I said, because that wasn't my intention at all. Peace, man.
That message's sincerity didn't last for all that long though. Recall this thread in late December 2013 in which I reported how Psycho DeuceBag had struck again but on Facebook and we got his "position" on cheating me which was simply 4 words, "Cry me a river.":

https://www.ysutopia.net/forums/index.php?topic=424.msg3846#msg3846

He sure lives up to being a Psycho DeuceBag, doesn't he ? Anyway, that interaction occurred on Miikka's Facebook post and after I made my last post to Psycho DeuceBag, Miikka deleted it all, "unfriended" me, then started giving me the ignore treatment - that's the last that I ever heard from him... Shutting me down like that when he allowed all that trashing of me to occur on the ALOY forums over the years where he's a moderator struck me as hypocritical given the complaint he made. I didn't quite understand it at the time, BUT, as I already said, I came to learn that Lipschultz was getting him credited on XSEED releases as I've shown, so his actions NOW make more sense! He got once-in-a-lifetime benefits, a chance at being apart of the videogame industry, all thanks to Lipschultz so he could never turn on him, neither Psycho DeuceBag... He's been bought!

All in all, his true colors emerged and like the meme says, he got his crediting, so why fight Lipschultz let alone give a shit about what happened in my case and risk that relationship ?? Most everybody looks out for number one when you get right down to it, Psycho DeuceBag a disgusting prime example of that... You figure he must've known a lot that was going on behind the scenes also, but he chose not to protest any of it, let alone warn me, and so ultimately, this is why I declare him to be a disappointment (in a sea of MANY others mind you!) and why I think he deserves a spot in my Hall of Shame... He's an enabler of criminality and thus is partly guilty of it.

As you might be able to tell, I do have mixed feelings on his case. It's not an ugly antagonistic feeling like say with Psycho Kirsten Miller where I made a final, firm conclusion that she's a pure vicious monster and I wish her all the worst! In his case, I used to think he was a likable bloke, but losing touch over the years, and with him mostly hanging around Lipschultz, Seldane, Kirsten, etc. it becomes understandable how he could more easily write me off and so forth, then you add the crediting Lipschultz got him...

Ultimately, it's not hate that I feel here, it's disappointment... The most serious point of all here to me is that when nobody around Lipschultz or Psycho DeuceBag calls them out for cheating me and they know what happened to some extent, they are enablers and are partly complicit in helping them get away with it by providing a stress and consequence free environment acting as if nothing wrong was done while maintaining totally friendly relations with them... I firmly believe if serious criticism was levied against them by the public, this issue could've been corrected a long time ago... Lipschultz/Psycho DeuceBag/XSEED have a deliberate strategy to simply ignore, run out the clock, hope I'll get tired, that I'll eventually give up and go away. A criticism-free environment by Ys fans or those that consume their products makes that very easy.



Conclusion: This goes back to the Enmund Burke quote on what it takes for evil to succeed [or XSEED]. There was one other person in Seldane's thread besides Miikka that cheered him on for erasing the crediting I added with my Felghana patch, it was none other than Thomas Lipschultz who goes by the alias WyrdWad. This was the response by Mr. Professional "Localization Expert" now a proud employee of the great big joke that is XSEED Games:


Let's attach his real face to that text, shall we ? What would that look like ??
  Sadly, Lipschultz's "slight evil/vengeful" side (or "dark urge") continues to prevail to this day precisely because of the lack of protest action by most Ys fans... That is the only way that his evil can continue to succeed, or, XSEED, if you will!!!

Like I said, his/XSEED's deliberate strategy at present is to run out the clock, ignore me, hope I'll tire out with enough passage of time/years and give up, move on, etc. rather than take corrective actions! Neutrality, or worse yet, outright praise by Ys fans for cheating me is the consequence-free environment that Lipschultz/XSEED predicted and it's why they continue to feel they can get away with it...

"Enablers" who either look the other way (Miikka) or conversely praise, defend, shill, etc. (e.g. Kirsten "omgfailure" Miller, Kurt Kalata, Kitsune Sniper, "Dogi WannaWhackOffRightNow," Psycho John Schizomaniak, & other crazies like AboveUp, etc.) are what make this possible and that's an advantage Lipschultz/XSEED will always have in the court of public opinion... It doesn't mean you stop fighting the good fight, but there are realities one must recognize...

My best and only shot at justice was legal action, not help via Ys fans (surprise surprise) - whether they like me or hate me, they just want more Ys games and XSEED delivers... Gotta be your own White Knight as Agness said.

Option 2: My English fan patch for those with original Japanese import copies of Ys VI LE or SE translated with the criminal cock-flashing cheat, Jeff "Psycho DeuceBag" Nussbaum. You could also apply it over the XSEED GOG install, but it's likely inferior both in translation and editing. Screenshots below.

Great news: Psycho DeuceBag = Denied! Even though Jeff Nussbaum was also sitting on the Ys VI translated results from our 2004 project "eager" to one day "sell" them to X.X.XSEED (https://twitter.com/MoriyaMug/.../9796864) and could've potentially unjustly and illegally profited off of my back for the 5th time, they rejected another criminal sneak/cheat job to have him transfer the text over for editing!! Instead, they had their Celceta translator, Daniel Prescott, do a new LEGAL/MORAL/ETHICAL one from scratch who has neither a criminal nor cock-flashing past, so a wise PR choice! Hopefully my boycott and exposing them had something to do with it, but I suspect DunceBag's translation failures in the ED6:FC PSP version also played a role in rejecting our ready-to-go work! He began to see as early as Nov. 12th, 2012 that he wouldn't work with them again on another Ys game, which is 6 months after I called Ken Berry to stop this criminality from going on any further!

Remember, the criminals of XSEED refuse to admit they did ANYTHING wrong in their divisive exploitation of fan-translated results, in sneaking around to acquire them, in perpetrating "unjust enrichment" in Psycho DeuceBag's favor, and thus damaging ALL fan-translation team relationships between the programmer and translator, whereby according to them, the translator gets to criminally run off with the results, profit 100%, get credited 100%, should genuine for-profit commercialization occur! No programmer should EVER trust ANY translator that they're working with should opportunities like this arise again! WATCH YOUR BACK! That is what the criminal "XSEED precedent" left us with whether or not such disgusting bastards ever admit to it!!! Thomas Lipschultz is as arrogant as he is bigoted, and this denial will continue!

Intro [1/13/2015]: I had been in talks with my old friend David Shadoff about taking over one of his excess stalled projects and this was one of them. Mulled it over and decided I'll try to push this over the finish line, but no guarantees... As such, I was given all project materials, including ~60% of SamIAm's translated results from 2007. I've also been discussing it with Sam on how to proceed and think I can meet his needs, though time will tell. If successful, this'll mark 11 years since my last full PC Engine CD RPG project (Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys) got off the ground in 2004 (the dub in 2012 was just a little blip)! I had decided I wanted to stick mainly with more modern x86 Falcom Windows PC games after Ys IV, but with Emerald Dragon I am retro again, baby! :P

Mug:


  • Someone called FalcomFan who lives in Japan and coincidentally was responsible for contacting me when Psycho DeuceBag struck deals with XSEED Games in secret to cheat me, once remarked that Kirsten is a "cyber-bully..." This, after she took an interest in him, conducted "investigations" to try to discover his identity, his reasons for being critical of XSEED and what have you, etc. I must admit, at first, I didn't think it was quite appropriate, but after reexamining the idea of someone like her being considered a "cyber-bully," I came to realize, you know, the guy was right! Maybe because she's female, I don't typically associate bullying behavior with the gender, but I came to realize it IS in fact appropriate!
  • Her endless bigoted hate obsession with me is NOT due to her generally stated reasons, it's not what you might think! In a nutshell, it's actually because she's a Far Left political hack and can't stand "right-wingers" being on the Internet... Yes, I expect someone reading this might find such an assessment very questionable, and I respect that, but it's my humble opinion of what lies beneath that bigoted, relentless surface of hers...

Summary: I once made a terrible mistake and worked with a creep in 2006... That creep's alias was omgfloofy (AKA omgfailure!)... What I didn't know at the time was that this very brief encounter would gain me a lasting, twisted, obsessed nemesis for all time by the looks of it! The Wicked Witch of the Warez can hold a grudge, lemme tell ya! The year is f--king 2015 for God's sake, 7+ years and counting, but NOTHING has ever changed; this psycho creep continues her mass demonization campaign of me over the Internet! When I was minding my own business, the same shit, so it didn't really matter what I was or wasn't doing. The coward continued to find places I wasn't present all over the Internet and use opportunities for her "I REALLY HATE TEH NightWolve and so should YOU!!! Listen to me, please! You must hate him with me! It's very important to me!!!" hate campaign. That's how cowards prefer it.

I've come to realize that ignoring her and hoping that she'd finally f--k the hell off wasn't gonna do it... No no no, this psychotic creep wants, needs, no CRAVES, perpetual warfare and needs to get flamed down over and over before she finally decides it's in her interest to f--k off. But, you'd have to be a pretty damn good flamer to achieve something of Mission Impossible status I fear. Thus, a permanent place for her in some kind of Hall of Shame is necessary to track her antics, hold her accountable, when possible, to even serve as a warning to other fan translators not to work with her for fear of this happening to them, etc. This is a mentally unstable person and you do NOT want her developing a creepy and eternal hate obsession with you! Believe me!

I've tried to think, well, what exactly does this psycho witch want from me ? There must be essentially some type of demand(s), right ? At the basic level it's some kind of revenge, but for what ? What exactly did I do to her to justify this perpetual pursuit, in her twisted mind ? I must've cheated her somehow for her to be shadow-boxing me all these years, right ? I must've stolen something from her ? Or, I must've burned her trailer down, right ? Something SERIOUS, right ?? Poisoned her pets or something ?? Nope... Not at all... Understand, with a sociopath, it could be anything, small, petty, or serious, etc.; recall Vision-Z, the worst of the worst, who cyber-stalked me for years with direct aggressive harassment because I banned him from a chatroom, a simple ban. These type of people make a good case for the need for cyber-restraining orders, seriously!

Anyhow, I suspect her "demands" are essentially similar to the infamous swindler Psycho John Schizomaniak, Thomas Lipschultz's crazed, wild-eyed, rottweiler from HG101 who disseminates libel/slander under the guise of "journalism" there and elsewhere who even caught a libel lawsuit from Agness Kaku, the MGS2 translator! Psycho John, in a fine display of what validates his bigotry, said, "I wish that guy would just drop off the face of the translation community." Basically, that's wishing for shutting somebody up. "Waaaaaa, boo hoo! Why can't he just disappear!!!!" That's what it is! He wants to take somebody's microphone away [mine]. That's his inclination towards opposing viewpoints, hence bigot.

So, I would theorize Kirsten's creepy actions across 7 years and counting, shadow-boxing me, keeping tabs on me, etc. they're meant as a form of extortion. In essence, "Shut up and go away, stop criticizing the 99% freeloading, submit to the fan credo ideology that you were wrong to think of DRM disc checks for Falcom games and payware patch models, REPENT REPENT REPENT, and then maybe I'll go away, etc. Well, maybe, hehehehehehehe." That would be my best guess as to what this creep-freak-geek wants from me. Of course, "Leave X.X.XSEED alone!" would be an updated item in her demands. It's not a clear issue, by no means, maybe she's a sadist and it's for sport, mix of all of the above, but this would be my best theory based on my experiences with her publicly and privately.

WORK. IN. PROGRESS.

Name: Guadozoku
Profession: "Teacher" (And an extortionist on the side in videogame forums)
Comments: Typical FREE-FOR-ME Ys F.A.N. with the whole shebang of an entitlement complex but with the added "Hand it over for free... OR ELSE! Raaaawr!!!!" extortionist kick to it.

Home of Extortionists and Death-Threat Floating Hacks, NightCrawler's (The Dark A$$hole of Romhacking) very own:
http://www.romhacking.net/forum/

Introduction: Some time after the Felghana patch was leaked on January, 29 2007, I had announced that as a consequence of the temporary early-access donation program (which was a compromise, an idea from ccleaner) for a BETA copy of a Felghana patch being rejected by warez freeloading Ys patch consumers, the worst freeloading fanbase in history (they went back to their 99% freeloading after learning the patch was leaked and freely available), I would thus try to come up with a more permanent payware model for a possible Ys Origin patch to filter out freeloaders and also a disc check system to filter out pirates and just try to deal with *real* Falcom fans, not warez videogame thieves...

Now, what I didn't understand or was prepared for at the time was that the fan-translation movement has these bigoted, totalitarian, fan credo fanatics floating around and there is no compromising with such fanatics... Examples included PruvMeRong, the criminal leaker of the patch from GameFAQs. Thomas Lipschultz (wyrdwad) is another one, now an XSEED Games employee responsible for cheating me when it came to the script deals, well, a great deal of his hatred for me stems from this type of ideology. Kirsten Miller (omgfloofy/omgfailure), "The Wicked Witch of the Warez," this bat-shit crazy, psycho shadow-boxer of mine, where once again, a case where the driving hatred results from this fan credo fanaticism and demanding every last man, woman and child think exactly the way that you do or else!! Kitsune Sniper, (David Silva García) another character-assassin that caught my attention recently who had been shadow-boxing me for years without my knowledge, the two-faced coward that he is...

Anyway, you get the idea, there are plenty of these malcontents around (the latest, TruHellRazer). Essentially, in my conclusion, these type of fanatical, bigoted ideologues seek to use the fan-translation movement as a vehicle to advance anti-capitalist, anti-profit, free-for-all, utopian ideals and anyone that presents a threat to that, that doesn't conform to this thought-process 100%, is the focus of modern evil in the world, this person is an "infidel" in their tyrannical eyes, etc. Typically, they have certain key things in common, they think they're in charge of other people in some way, that they have a say... The other feature is hiding behind a computer, demanding stuff for free and engaging in mass-demonization as a form of extortion/punishment for not being in compliance with their view...

So, let's get to Guadozoku finally having gotten that background information out of the way. In his own words, here he goes:

Archived Source: http://ximwix.net/mirrors/rhdn/index.php@topic=4182.0.html#msg63948
Quote from: Guadozoku, July 17, 2007, 01:09:27 pm
[Let's] E-mail Falcom. Maybe later, I'll do a rough Japanese translation of that, so we can all tell Falcom what he's doing.

Being of this mindset, Guadozoku effectively floated an extortion threat in the form of "Hand over the patches for $0.00, my FAVORITE pricepoint, or I will email Falcom to report you!!!" Now, never mind the hypocrisy of a lying, scheming, videogame thief who never ONCE lifted a finger to threaten, let alone criticize, ANY pirating network, never mind him temporarily and laughably pretending to care about a publisher in this case! Heh. Truth is, his ilk doesn't give a shit about anybody but themselves and their self-serving interests! Make no mistake about that! That's who and what these warez pieces of garbage are! I said it before and I stand by it.

After Guadozoku's extortion threat, I demanded romhacking hacks.net stop linking to me, remove all my patches from their website, etc. They initially complied... But then, I dunno, maybe a year later, the bigot NightCrawler couldn't stand by his website's original policy of "Patches will be removed for any reason if requested by the creator..." so he actually changed a long-standing policy from the site's inception just because of little ole me, and he forcibly grabbed all of my patches and uploaded them back! WOW! And then, he created an attack entry profile for me which he maintains to this day to f--k with me, permanently maintaining his hate-on for me, never f--king off, never willing to move on and just leave me be, which is what I asked for all along!

These people LITERALLY DO NOT understand how creepy they appear, most especially when the other person simply tells them that they want nothing to do with them and that they just need to move on and f--k off, but they can't, they won't... That's how it is! The guy has to be in his late 30's now, but STILL an immature manchild that can't bury a grudge when the other person simply isn't bothering him and wants NOTHING to do with him!

So that's where the situation is at... Guadozoku got away with his extortion threat anyway, and romhacking hacks.net forced a continued association with me against my will, cause, yeah, just because, they can f--k with people, the bigoted butthurt bullies that they are, so why not ? I guess really, that's about it for this entry...

Prime Directive: If you're gonna say something controversial, serious, call someone's character into question, etc., back it up or shut the f--k up! That's something I had learned hanging out at The Next Level years ago.

E.g. Did Psycho DeuceBag post a photo of his manhood ?? Sure, links to various things he's said/done are all provided. I've typically tried to operate under that principle. If I am confident on a position, I will defend/promote it with tenacity. I accuse Psycho DeuceBag and Lipschultz of many things and I will back them up as best I can in time! You know how to contact me, at any time, for any reason if you want further info, detail on this, that or the other, etc.

NO, the whole act speaks to HIS character FIRST, not 0-n amount of people that could've clicked the photo (you can't just project "odds are good" - you don't know); HE's the guy (or creep) that pulled his pants down, jerked/fluffed himself up a bit, took a camera down there, snapped a photo and uploaded it to the Internet, by extension, the world!!!!! Hahaha! But no, it's like he saying, "Well, YOU guys are the ones (0-n) that clicked on it! So yeah, uh, don't look at me!!!" Good one, Jeff!! :P

Quote from: Ys Origin Project Talks - Feb 06 2007
DeuceMUGEN: Well, here's my basic thought.  I'm really eager to get my hands on this one... more so, even, than I was with Oath.  ...  But basically, what I'm asking for is just the bare-bones work to dump the script out to HTML, so I can complete my end of things on the translation side.  Ideally, you'll have the time/will to make the English text and edited DDS files show up ingame, but if not, I won't cry too terribly much.  But when you do, I can take the existing work and just put it into place, and voila.  Finished patch.  You can then play it at your leisure, completely unspoiled by having to edit or anything.

...

Sef1roth: On Origins: Yeah, I'll see.
Sef1roth: Ideally the editor should be enhanced to give you instant testing.
Sef1roth: Which would mean you could have it all English and playable.
Sef1roth: It wouldn't be a back'n'forth wait where I get the database and compile a DLL with the updated script.
Sef1roth: I have to trust you more with that though, which I do.
DeuceMUGEN: Well, I'd hope I've never given you reason not to.
Sef1roth: But yeah, that'll be some time. I'm just not in the mood right now at this second to start on it. After I get things ready the YsF patch though, I'll give it a shot.
DeuceMUGEN: Sounds good to me.
DeuceMUGEN: Well, Chantel and I are gonna go watch Crank, I think.  I saw the first ten minutes and was hugely entertained.  If you're into action movies at all, I think you'd enjoy it.
That serves as a historical joke about trust with this demented, delusional, lying cheat...


Quote from: Ys Origin Project Talks - Feb 23 2007
Sef1roth: Let's get all this out of the way cause I'm not gonna be online as much.
Sef1roth: Wanna make sure you're squared away.
DeuceMUGEN: I hear ya.
DeuceMUGEN: Well, get the DDS replacement in place and a dynamic testing setup, and I'll be out of your hair for quite a while, barring any major issues.
DeuceMUGEN: And/or another Ys game. ;)
Sef1roth: I betcha Gideon Zhi never provided a good a dump as this, am I right???
Sef1roth: Rrrrright?
DeuceMUGEN: Nothing so straightforward, no.
DeuceMUGEN: But in his defense, I had to work with control codes galore.
Sef1roth: You were supposed to say, "Yeah, yeah, it is great NightWolve."
DeuceMUGEN: Oh, sorry.
DeuceMUGEN: *bows* I'M NOT WORTHY!  I'M NOT WORTHY!
DeuceMUGEN: Better? ;)
Sef1roth: Yup.

VINDICATED!
I haven't done sufficient updates to keep up with recent events but as many XSEED fans on Twitter know the company was BUSTED bigtime for cheating Brittany Avery after being fired with the disgraced Tom-chan "The KKK Witch" Lipschultz. This led to the fashionably flamboyant Executive Commander Sterling to produce this most excellent video lambasting XSEED for cheating people!First off, ladies and gentlemen, we here at Ys Utopia.net are STILL patiently awaiting to hear from B.J. Psycho DeuceBag's "lieyer" given the legal action that he promised... It's been 6 months since he broke his 3 years of direct silence towards me (read: "playing stupid" after the first Felghana May 2010 deal with XSEED Games) to threaten legal action and I am still in full violation of his "demands." :P Anyway, I shall keep you posted on that front as soon as I hear from "his lawyer..."

Intro: Now, as indicated, Jeff "I got a big d1ck!" Nussbaum struck again, but this time on Facebook! Basically, I learned that a new Ys patch was released and I posted that I'd have to boycott it on account of him, a disgusting, bigoted, callous criminal having translated it. Suffice to say, that got the criminal's attention and once again prompted a direct response...

Continue Reading... (Post Status: 100% - Done.)

Quicki Insert: Presenting a newer version of the Ys Typing Tutor for later release to honor XSEED, its personnel + others >:D:

P.S. Tom, you're not the only one that knows how to wage a PR war, buddy! You will come to regret ever meeting me m0therf--ker, the way I have come to regret ever meeting you AND the c0ck-flasher! I hope that's already the case for the both of you and your two-bit, exploitative, divisive, criminal company...

Alright, I decided to make a separate thread *properly titled* to respond to some hacks/posters from another forum. It's necessary to keep myself engaged and combat their spin, deception, shilling for XSEED, etc. on things. Gotta see if I can organize it better this time.

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
I feel compelled to present my perspective here since no one else has analysed this situation from the viewpoint of copyright standards (save for NightWolve himself, briefly, but his analysis is misinformed).

Actually, it is your analysis that is misinformed, as I feel compelled to show. Arrogance does not win the argument, facts do.

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
NightWolve continues to mention his step one labor. However, I think the real issue here isn't labor at all, but the fruits of that labor. Think about the output NightWolve provided versus the output Deuce provided: One delivered Japanese text that already existed and did not belong to him, whereas the other delivered English text that he produced himself.

Actually, the issue IS labor or time spent on needed services rendered. And yes, the fruits of the labor were a 2 column Excel file, Japanese text in column A, English text in column B, and without my step 1 labor, he wouldn't have been in possession of such a file when XSEED came around. He wouldn't have had ANYTHING in his criminal hands to give to XSEED, ready-to-go, without all of my prior labor, etc. BOTH columns were needed by XSEED for the translated results to be useful. There's also a peripheral kind of argument that I see that makes it all the more disgusting for me; I ran these projects, I attracted him to translate with me over another translator eventually, and running these projects also attracted yet another translator, Lipschultz, who wound up getting a job at XSEED and orchestrating these deals! He was mostly put into this position, the ultimate success that a fan translation team could ever enjoy, via all my major labor, from patch development, script management software, marketing efforts, to maintaining a website, etc. and he stole this honor, this piece of videogame history, all entirely for himself, and never had a single word to say to me directly for 3 years, up until I went public with this story, and that was all just to clearly threaten a lawsuit with a lawyer supposedly on standby!!!!

Ultimately, what I intend to demonstrate is that Psycho DeuceBag (AKA "The FlasherTM") was paid and credited for his time/labor (while he conspired with Lipschultz to cheat me), and that he did NOT legally sell an "object" that was in his possession at the time. There was no legal transfer of ownership from one party to another here of something ("an object") that was legally his property! Just as if we were both inside the company, XSEED, and I was doing programming work, and he was doing translation work, we would be paid by the hour or by salary, for our TIME ON THIS EARTH, NOT because the results of our work would legally belong to us! We're selling our time to the company, not the actual things that get produced! Of course, this situation is more that of outside contractors getting hired to perform needed tasks. You make a deal with them, pay them for their time to do something that you want, and they hand over the results after they're paid, etc.! (If say the deal went bad for whatever reason, like it took 'em longer than they thought so they wanted more money and the other party refused, yet work was already started/mostly completed, these contractors wouldn't get to *legally* sell some translated movie or videogame script to any other company unless it obtained licensing and another deal was struck to hand over the results upon payment!)

So, Psycho DeuceBag couldn't produce the English text without the Japanese text first being made visible to him, which was my job. If he had done everything himself, it wouldn't be any of my business, but as it stands, my time is reflected in what he handed over to XSEED and he was paid and credited 100% for that time! Secondly, the fact that he "produced" English text himself (of course, he used WWWJDIC, since he can't read it) does not grant him legal ownership, your major mistake in understanding copyright law. ALL of this work was done without prior licensing, permission, authorization, etc. from the copyright holder of the source story/script hence it was illegal! There's no ambiguity about that! How the hell could someone gain legal ownership of some result and legally be able to sell that result to anyone in the world if it came about without prior licensing/authorization/permission as required under copyright law ??

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
One delivered Japanese text that already existed and did not belong to him, whereas the other delivered English text that he produced himself.

As I've argued elsewhere, this is the selective restriction of labor/work to "typing." I didn't type the Japanese text, but Psycho DeuceBag typed all the English text, so 100% credit, 100% profit for him, which on paper, is how things went! It also blurs the lines of legal ownership over some kind of moral ownership/claim (I typed it, it's mine!). There is no legal ownership of either column in this situation! If you wanna talk morally, then since I labored to make the Japanese text visible, I had the moral right to make it invisible again (to destroy it), and let him run off, the criminal that he is, just with the English text that he typed, and see how useful that would've been to XSEED. As it stands, they asked for and received a 2 column file, Japanese text next to English text to facilitate find/replace procedures to achieve the result of inserting the English into the target game, etc.!

Quote from: Article 8 of the Berne Convention
Authors of literary and artistic works protected by this Convention shall enjoy the exclusive right of making and of authorizing the translation of their works throughout the term of protection of their rights in the original works.

You can't go around, just cause you feel like it on a whim, translating books, movies, games, etc. without prior licensing/permission/authorization from the copyright holder then yell "derivative work" and claim legal ownership as a defense! That is engaging in right-of-translation infringement! That same international copyright law (Berne Convention) which protects against piracy, unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material, also grants the owner of the material protection against unauthorized attempts of translation - Falcom being a Japanese company, international law applies as well. At any rate, NEITHER of us could ever be the "legal" owner of ANYTHING here! You don't seem to get that and you're not arguing anything all that different than Kirsten Miller or this Sara, in trying to falsely frame the debate in terms of legal ownership.

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
NightWolve claims that Deuce's translation is owned by Nihon Falcom just as the original Japanese text is, but American copyright law clearly indicates that the translation would fall under the umbrella of derivative work, as described here.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_work

If you're actually an aspiring student of law, you've got a long way to go! As mentioned, our work constitutes a right-of-translation infringement to begin with, and you jumped way forward to essentially classify his English column as a protected derivative work when the law says this shouldn't have happened in the first place, not without first contacting the copyright holder or a licensee of the copyrighted material! With your statement there, you just neutralized protection that copyright holders are entitled to, that is, getting to choose who or who DOES NOT translate their work and additionally profiting from it!!! Pffffft. You don't even realize how stupid you sound; according to you, we could've gone around stating that our unlicensed English patches were legal cause they only store derivative work! You didn't even deserve all the time that I took to respond to your bullshit, but it should be checkmated lest somebody falls for it!

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
In other words, Deuce does not own the original text, but he does (or did) own his English translation of it. If Nihon Falcom or any other company had used it without his permission (and, by extension, without giving him due credit), he would be within his rights to seek legal recourse.

Wrong! He does NOT legally own ANYTHING! And he NEVER will! He didn't get permission to translate it in the first place, he didn't pay licensing fees to Falcom to gain some kind of legal ownership or rights, neither did I, so the copyright holder or a licensee (like XSEED) IS the one that was in a position to seek legal recourse at unlicensed translation work that is in technical violation of international copyright law and national laws as well!

The ONLY company that could use it legally is Falcom OR a licensee of Falcom, which wound up being XSEED in this case, by essentially forgiving the fact that it was originally done without permission/licensing and ask that it be handed over. In 2010, both XSEED/Falcom legally had a right to send a cease and desist, and ask that ALL unauthorized work be DESTROYED, public distribution stop, etc. as ACTUALLY happened in South Korea to a fan translation team that was working on "Ys VI: Ark of Napishtim" after a company obtained licensing for said game! The facts and even a past precedent like that don't back up what it is you have to say! I wouldn't take ANY legal advice from your a$$, I know that much! "DON'T WORRY, AS LONG AS IT'S FREE-FOR-ME, THEY CAN'T DO NOTHING!!!!!! IT'S YOUR DERIVATIVE WORK NOW!" WRONG, VERY WRONG on numerous levels!

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
Because the output NightWolve produced is not substantially different from the content Nihon Falcom created, however, he has no right to ownership of that work whatsoever, and XSEED Games legally would not be able to credit him for it (and certainly not remunerate him for it, save for under-the-table dealings that could create a whole new set of problems) without putting their business partnership at risk. The best they would be able to do within the bounds of the law is to give NightWolve a special thanks credit, and it seems Wyrdwad may have already addressed why they've elected not to (though he claims it has no relation to the matter at hand, so this is only a theory).

Really, just all nonsense! As explained, it's NOT a matter of ownership (NOBODY LEGALLY OWNS ANYTHING HERE!), it's a matter of paying and crediting someone for the time/work that was performed! Simply morally and ethically doing the right thing, crediting and compensating relevant parties that performed the needed work that saved you time, that you wanted, etc.! And XSEED Games could credit WHOEVER the hell they wanted! They're the license holder and they objectively, retro-actively endorsed/approved of/legitimized/legalized EVERYTHING that was necessary for the production of those Excel files that they obtained! You're just talking bullshit the rest of the way! They worked with a guy that didn't follow the law, but OH NOOOES, now when it comes to crediting they TOTALLY gotta do it by the book, to the very letter, according to you (assuming your premise has validity) ?? What a boatload of horseshit!!!

If you wanna talk about "putting their business partnership at risk," they hired Lipschultz, someone who engaged in unlicensed/unauthorized translations himself (hence illegally!); his fingerprints are on the leaked, unlicensed Felghana patch (he translated the 12 Manual images for me because DunceBag can't read Japanese text visually). Also, this is a company that took the extraordinary step of making sure that Jeff "I have a lawyer" Nussbaum was the FIRST to be credited at the top of the English translation staff Credits roll BEFORE ANY actual full-time employees!!! Again, an unlicensed/unauthorized translator who helped make many of Falcom's games playable in English without permission that potentially reduced the chances of official publishers wanting to buy a license from Falcom in the first place since the public was given the FREE-FOR-ME option by him (me too)!! How many lost sales can be attributed to the free, unlicensed patches, percentage wise because of this when it comes to the Steam versions?? I'd be just the guy with Japanese text and tools to translate it without his step 2 labor!! Observe (from Ys I&II Chronicles, the Credits Roll):



This guy, gyakutenkyle, whoever he is, he's doing another variation of Ken Berry's argument to me, that somehow, my step 1 labor is worse, and more wrong, etc. and that's somehow why I can't be credited, let alone compensated... But objective facts and an intellectually honest analysis expose the disingenuous bullshit for what it is, a runaround, etc. You're starting with the agenda, "He should NOT be credited, so what can I come up with to advance this position?" and working your way towards it! It's not an honest, wherever-the-facts-may-lead-you type of analysis. Like Kirsten Miller, a hateful hack, she wants the outcome of an XCISE given her blackballer/blacklisting punishment mentality (and she would've been very butt-hurt if I HAD been credited), so whatever arguments she can find that almost sound convincing, that's what she'll do!

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
All parties involved with these original fan translations, and with fan translations in general, are supposedly working "for love of the game", with no intent or expectation to receive monetary compensation or legal recognition.

>
Quote from: Xalphenos
1. XSEED used the fan translated script for the basis of their translation.
2. Deuce received full credit, and compensation for said translated script.
3. The fan translation used by XSEED was the product of a joint venture between, at the very least, Deuce and Nightwolve.
4. Nightwolve received no credit, compensation, or thanks.

Refer to the objective facts above! If he got credited, I too should've been credited. If he got paid, I too should've been paid! I'm not into corporate welfare, maybe you are, but I'm not. I didn't perform this labor at the time for a for-profit corporation. If Psycho DeuceBag was a corporation, I wouldn't have done the labor for him for free, and if I was a corporation, he wouldn't have done his labor for free to me either! We both did free labor because it went into free patches. With a corporation coming into the picture, that changes the circumstances completely and that should've triggered a contacting of all relevant parties to have had this debate BACK THEN, the 2010 Felghana deal! Instead, XSEED and Psycho DeuceBag chose a policy of secrecy against everybody else in the project and unilaterally, arrogantly made a decision with no other form of input by anyone else, a decision that would lead to only having to pay one guy, instead of two, and only having to credit one guy, instead of two!!!! Convenient... That's one response.

The other response is, you don't get to tell somebody else what they should supposedly "feel." This bizarre demand for conformity, that ALL fan translators are supposed to be doing it TOTALLY for the love of the games because they don't have licensing, that it all should be a non-profit or anti-profit humanitarian mission, etc. I find totalitarian, self-serving, and fanatical given the behavior of those that promote it! If somebody wants to charge for their unlicensed software or product, that's their decision and concern! Hiding behind a computer and yelling, demanding that it's supposed to be 100% free, that you're supposed to get your hands on the patch for free always struck me as a "stick up!" and/or a "bribe." If you care about copyright law, your only position should be that an unlicensed translation patch should NOT exist, not hypocritically have it both ways, ignore copyright law if you're given it for free, but then scream about copyright law, to run and fetch a license, should the idea of a charge (AKA a pay-to-play "scheme") come into the picture...

There's NOTHING "evil" about doing something that you both love and generating money/revenue for it at the SAME TIME! That's the best kind of work! Projecting that, under these circumstances, unlicensed fan translators are ONLY supposed to be doing this for the love of the games and not anything else is YOUR PERSONAL projection of an expectation or demand being placed on somebody else and it's, in my view, an entirely self-serving notion! I didn't need your permission to start fan translating and I don't need your exact reasons for why or why not I should be doing it, etc.! If you wanna make unlicensed fan patches, have a total no-donation policy and no other revenue generating ideas in place, that's your business, GO AHEAD! NOT MY PROBLEM! But, that's never enough for fan credo ideologues like yourself, you gotta try to impose it on other people, let your anti-capitalist/anti-profit fanaticism seep into it and demonize them when they step out of your self-serving line!

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
Within a fan translation group, the translator is really the lucky one since his work is legally allowed to exist and has some measure of copyright protection. This is a luxury possessed by no other member,

That's IF your faulty and arrogant analysis is to be believed and were it factual, which it isn't (as already shown)! Once again, if your nonsense was true, you could run around and translate whatever you wanted without licensing and thus neutralize the copyright protection of the owner of the original work!!! You neutralize the copyright protection of the source copyright holder, one party, all the while claiming that another party, an unauthorized/unlicensed translator, would have some kind of copyright protection for that which they didn't get permission to do in the first place and were required by law to do so!!

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
and I think if any fan translations are ever to be purchased by video game publishers in the future, this same issue has a good chance of popping up again.

I doubt it, I think given all the evidence, this was Lipschultz's "NightWolve sucks!" rule/exception! A blackballing/blacklisting punishment/persecution decision/mindset for our past feud, mutual hatred, etc. What he's doing now is all about trying to post-rationalize it in a logical way to avoid admitting it was personal, and retaliatory (cause that doesn't look too good for any company), etc. And Psycho DeuceBag was given an offer he couldn't refuse, turning out to be a callous criminal backstabber, so he obviously didn't give a fuck, and it all happened the way that it happened!

The policy of secrecy, backstabbing, backtalking, etc. making sure no other relevant parties were contacted was most certainly due to Lipschultz - that was his M.O. before being hired by XSEED! He had already conspired with Psycho DeuceBag, Miller the Menace, etc. to redirect the Ys Origin results to his Italian buddy before he was hired by XSEED, a project that I had started with Psycho DeuceBag in 2007. Then came the first Felghana XSEED deal, and the same policy of secrecy applied, letting me be the last to know about anything, letting me find out from strangers, etc.!



>Fun Historical Fact: How did Lipschultz and my criminal ex-partner/pseudo-friend, Jeff "Psycho DeuceBag" Nussbaum (AKA "The C*ck-FlasherTM"), of ~9 years at the time, let me find out about the first Felghana deal that was publicized on May-15-2010 ??

Answer: From a complete stranger, someone from Tokushima, Japan! That's how!

Update: Thanks to Psycho Kirsten "omgfloofy" Miller and her creepy "detective's report" which happened to be on the same person, I learned his real name is John Sears who did a Lunar translation in the past, and was beginning work with XSEED for "Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky." He felt XSEED was lowballing him as it is a criminal cheapskate company, and that's why he wanted inside info from me on how much XSEED offered for the Felghana fan translation. John BTW now represents yet another burned bridge for XSEED, just like Victor Ireland, they keep racking up enemies left and right...

So, I checked my Inbox on May 30, 2010, I would only come online once every month or two months at the time since I was busy, and THIS is what I found:

Quote from: Falcom Fan (John Sears), Saturday, May 29, 2010
Subject: How much did you guys get paid for the Felghana translation?

How did How much did you guys get paid for the Felghana translation? I know it was Deuce and NightWolve's translation and so I hope this is the right e-mail address. Anyway, I am curious to find out what you were paid so I know if what I'm getting offered a fair price or not for my translation work.

He sent it to multiple addresses of mine, here's another form:

Quote from: Falcom Fan, Saturday, May 29, 2010
Dear NightWolve,

How much did you guys get paid for the Felghana translation from XSEED?
I know it was Deuce and your translation so I hope this is the right e-mail address.
Anyway, I am curious to find out what you were paid so I know if what I'm getting offered a fair price or not for my translation work.

The reason is, my job is a lot bigger than Felghana, maybe 6-8 times larger than Felghana, in fact, so I am a little skeptical at the offering price. Please hit me up as soon as possible if you can. Also, if you have Deuce's e-mail address, that would be great, too.
And the last one:
Quote from: Falcom Fan, Sunday, May 30, 2010
I have actually been working on another game and have been approached by a company offering a couple grand for the translation and somehow I think it's not worth my time to deal with them considering that there is potential millions in revenue to me made on their side while I get bent over backwards.

I heard that you and Deuce had sold the translation to Ys: The Oath in Felghana and I was wondering if you had received more than that or just a few measly grand for your years of work? I'm debating what to do considering all the time I've put in to this work and a few grand just doesn't seem worth it or maybe I should ask for a better deal or something.

If you could let me know, I would appreciate it.

I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE HELL THIS MAN WAS SMOKING! THAT WAS MY INTERNAL RESPONSE!

I almost snapped at him; I was writing up the email and had saved it as a draft where I was gonna basically, in frustration, accuse him of a MASSIVE failure in fact-checking!!! It was so ridiculous, so unbelievable!!!

But THEN, something stopped me from replying back to him with such an email... I tried to think, where the hell is he getting this info ?? Why does he believe that this actually happened ?? So I turned to google search, and at first, all I could find was an XSEED press release stating that they had bought the U.S. licensing rights to localize Felghana for the PSP. It said NOTHING about some use of a fan translation... So I kept looking and looking, and eventually, I ran into the Thieves' Den, the sewer of the Internet, GameFAQs, etc. and somebody there had said that Psycho DeuceBag announced the deal in some NeoGeo Forum. I knew what he was talking about, so I went to that forum and alas, I found the thread in question... My jaw dropped, I figured he must've emailed me but I missed it somehow... So I searched the hell out of my Inbox, but nothing!!! WHO KNOWS WHEN I WOULD'VE FOUND OUT! I would've been offline for another month or so after that!

Anyhow, THAT'S HOW THESE CRIMINALS CONDUCTED BUSINESS!!! THAT'S HOW THEY TREATED ME! DEUCEBAG WOULD GO ON WITH THIS SILENCE FOR 3 YEARS! That's how he played the game, until now, where I managed to get him butt-hurt enough to threaten a lawsuit! So yeah, the deal was already done at that point, he had already got paid, and I was the last to know anything! I only know because some random guy emailed me about it and assumed XSEED Games had done business fairly, morally, ethically, etc. Well, he was mistaken about that!!! And I almost chewed his head off for incompetence in thinking that a corporation would've done something unprecedented like this! I was wrong, as I found!

Long story short, I eventually learned (in November 2010 I think) that Lipschultz was the man behind XSEED that orchestrated this XSEEDINGLY DISTURBING XCISE and I immediately thought to myself, "UH-OH, so THAT'S why!!!" He and I were each others' nemesis at that point, we had some phony truce going, but the hatred was still there... So yeah, it all now made sense, the questions that haunted me for a few months there, "Why wouldn't Jeff contact me ?? What the HELL is going on here ?? Why is he playing stupid with me ??"



Alright, continuing on with the rest of gyakutenkyle's bullshit and manipulative type posts/appeals to me. Sigh, in the end, I find him to be just a not-so-good spin doctor... What a waste of time, but oh well!

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
and it speaks poorly of NightWolve's character that he would not only create such a rant, but also suggest that people boycott a company responsible for bringing the games he loves into the public eye.

Essentially, he's demonizing me for fighting back. As mentioned elsewhere, I tried to solve this with Ken Berry, Director of Publishing, last summer (2012) but by the 3rd and final call, he fed me disingenuous bullshit (like, do you have a paypal icon on your website??) and effectively was basically telling me to go away [quietly] and too bad!

So, ultimately, trying to solve this civilly was never going to happen. And if this doesn't either, well, so be it, the world will know the full story at the very least! And yess, I'm well aware that this puts me in a difficult position, a rock and a hard place, simultaneously loving the Ys series and yet pitting me against a company that cheated me, but that has been localizing many games in the series!

I didn't actually need you to point this out in a manipulative tone, I already thought about it. Ultimately, the choice is walk away, keep quiet and forget about it, or fight back! I'm choosing the latter! I recognize the objective consequences, but that's also on XSEED's/Lipschultz's/Psycho DeuceBag's hands and how they conducted themselves with that first Felghana deal and thereafter! They too bear responsibility for this negative outcome given their moral/ethical conduct, etc. NOT JUST ME! So don't just shove all the blame down on me, you f--king prick!

What does this whole thing indicate about the character, the morality/ethics of B.J.Psycho DeuceBag and Lipschultz ?? Ah, right, you're a bigoted shill and you're not gonna bother to ask the question in the other/opposite direction, are you ? Of course not.

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
NightWolve had previously been upset with the rampant piracy he'd seen, so it seems reasonable to assume he'd be pleased that so many people are now legitimately enjoying Nihon Falcom games in English, and have spent money on them in direct support of the developer. By staging a boycott, however, he can only bring harm to a game studio he claims to defend.

Here, he sets up a straw man to create some kind of hypocrisy argument. 1) XSEED already paid the licensing fees to Falcom, so as a company, Falcom already got their money/support! 2) This is a boycott of XSEED, not Falcom! You're deceptively using the connection of the two interchangeably. Falcom isn't responsible for this injustice, XSEED/Psycho DeuceBag are!

Quote from: gyakutenkyle
Certainly, that is not an act of one who operates "for love of the game", and it calls into question NightWolve's intentions in ever having assisted with these projects in the first place.

I don't need to prove my love of Ys games to the likes of some random douchebag! It's self-evident! The thousands of hours that I spent that made these projects possible already does that! What's your proof of support, any games you own to speak of ?? What kind of help have YOU ever given to ANYONE on the matter ?? I think manipulative cunts like you that make these kinds of arguments should be the ones asked to "prove" something! After ALL the proving that I've done, I STILL gotta "prove" something ?? Also, I didn't "assist" these projects, I fought for them, managed them, did the most amount of work to make them possible! He's minimizing my work/sacrifices down to "project assistant," just like any other ignorant and arrogant hack eventually does.

"YOU'RE NOT A REAL YS FAN, YOU JUST CARE ABOUT MONEY!!!! A REAL Ys fan would walk away!!" - That IS what this cunt is telling me in a way!

And yesss, calling for a boycott of a company that cheated me means hurting it, but that's only if they choose to never correct the injustice at issue! You simply want my love of Ys and Falcom to be held hostage, held over me, etc., if I don't simply ignore the fact that I was cheated, and walk away quietly. That's ultimately the 2 options that your manipulative post suggests for me! Option 1) If you boycott XSEED, then you're not a "REAL" Ys Fan, etc. (by your standards) and Option 2) If you walk away and stop this, well, then that's that... All can be well again in the Ys community...

So no, to be clear, the "act" here is of someone who wants to correct an injustice. That's what it is! You, and others like you, well, you only ever think in self-serving terms on the consumer level. It's supposed to be 100% FREE-FOR-ME when it comes to the patches, and now, well, I was supposed to just continue to keep quiet about what happened and walk away because this will hurt XSEED and there might be people that sympathize with what happened and possibly avoid them, etc. I know I denied Lipschultz/XSEED at least one $15 Felghana Steam sale so far (a donor offered to buy it for me if I registered with Steam, but I declined and told him what Lipschultz/Psycho DeuceBag/XSEED did instead!), but that was a while back and YEAH, I was/AM happy about that!! A % of that would've went into Lipschultz's pocket and the facts of what he did, how he handled approaching that first deal are there, along with our VERY hostile/negative past! This is not something you just walk away from, I have concluded. Simple as that...

The other aspect to this and why it needs to be told is that programmers/project managers of fan translations need to watch their back!!! Period! Clear agreements need to be made before accepting somebody's work and letting them join your team!! ALL fan translation teams SHOULD KNOW how XSEED Games handled themselves here and how a project member in their ranks could potentially behave by running off with all the work were he/she entrusted with it totally should a RARE opportunity like this ever occur again!!!! I would NOT want this to happen to somebody else! It was criminal, vindictive, disgusting, a historical snub/punishment, a denial of a piece of videogame history and I had sacrificed so much to make these projects happen, I just wouldn't want somebody else to be stuck with a lifetime memory of such a betrayal, a backstab of this enormous magnitude!!!! B.J.Psycho DeuceBag is a callous, criminal a$$hole, a monumental monster (as is Lipschultz!), and I don't exaggerate my feelings about him and his behavior in the aftermath!!!



Finally, I've almost reached the end of what I have to say to you. Early on I told you that'd I'd demonstrate that this is not about "ownership" and I did, somewhat, but I wanna complete the rest of my thoughts on that. I view the "ownership" argument as a false framing of the debate in order to try to intentionally seek out a way to exclude the programming labor/time of another party and effectively reduce relevant labor down to "typing" as the only type that matters. I leave you with the most apt hypothetical, I think, to get away from this type of nonsense.

It's like this: Take a situation with Working Designs (formerly known as). For their last game for Saturn, I believe, Victor Ireland stated that the copyright holder lost source code and that his programmers had to do reverse engineering from the binaries to help get this game translated! So, I'm gonna work off of that scenario to make this point. That's the set up!

OK, now, if I was inside the company, and working on this job, I would be paid by the hour or by salary to do whatever I can! When I successfully recover the Japanese text out of the binaries because the source was lost (let's assume that's the case for this hypothetical), I don't get to say it's "mine" in a legal sense. I am responsible for making it visible again, recovering that which was lost, but it's not "mine."

Then, the Japanese text would be handed over to the translator in the company, and would thus get converted to English. I made the Japanese text visible as the programmer, and the translator then looked at the Japanese text and made English text visible next to it, etc. Does the translator now "own" the English text that they typed or BOTH columns ?? No, it's work that was done inside the company, the licensed company owns it anyway. But it's also a copyrighted story, and a translation of it is a derivative work (see link below) which in an exclusive right of the copyright holder, so that translator can't run off with it and legally sell it elsewhere!!!

See Exclusive Rights Section:
Section 106 granted five exclusive rights to copyright holders:
   2) the right to create derivative works of the original work,
(Even under US Copyright law (not international), you're a miserable f#cking failure having claimed he's a "legal owner" of his translated results!)

To the point: In this scenario, both the programmer and translator are paid for THEIR TIME ON THIS EARTH that they spent performing the necessary tasks to achieve translated results!!! Now, switch back to us; our work was done OUTSIDE a company, unlicensed, but XSEED forgave that fact in 2010. Psycho DeuceBag snuck into my databases, and exported a 2 column file, agreed to hand it over to XSEED, but that file represented the labor of 2 main people in terms of TIME ON THIS EARTH (JUST LIKE YOU'RE PAID AT YOUR JOB!), it was a 2 man job!!!!

Psycho DeuceBag did not legally sell an "object" that was "his." He was PAID FOR HIS TIME AND CREDITED, BUT NOT ME!!! So, this was retro-actively the selling of services, of time, not of an object that was legally his OR mine, this 2 column Excel file!! If I am the legal owner of a car, I get to sell the car, the object, because it is legally mine! That thinking is not applicable here! The Japanese text that I made visible, by decoding, converting, etc. that is not legally mine (it's Falcom's), and the English text that he made visible by processing it in WWWJDIC and deriving meaning, etc. in English, that is not legally his either (it's a right-of-translation infringement or was till it was essentially "blessed" by a license holder, XSEED)!!

So in the end, objectively, Psycho DeuceBag was paid for his time spent translating and because he was in possession of source text and software that I spent time on prior to that, etc. But, XSEED did not pay me for my time, neither did they credit me for my time either as a programmer or under say an unusual category like, "English Translation services by" or "English Translation Provided By the Efforts Of", etc. which they could've done considering how far they went with what they already did...

They want me to believe that they didn't act unethically, but these folks went around secretly and my criminal partner never had anything to say to me ever since, not for 3 years, and that was just for a SHUT UP lawsuit threat!! So yeah, this is all criminality to me! Purty simple! I didn't protect the databases, I didn't encrypt the Japanese column of text as I should've, which would've forced him to communicate with me about what was happening, etc. So I didn't do a lot of things to watch my back for an a$$hole that turned out to be a backstabber-in-waiting of an UNBELIEVABLE magnitude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Conclusion About You: You're a hack and YOU WOULD make a good "lieyer" because that's part of the job, coming up with a lot bullshit, trying to sell it, and hope that a judge or jury "buys it" to get your client off the hook (this case, XSEED)!!! I'm not even gonna say your attempt was a "nice try" because it wasn't, far from it!

** Update: Sunday "Legal Threat" Funday, June 23, 2013!
XSEED's "FlasherTM," Jeff "Psycho DeuceBag" Nussbaum, vows an anti-free speech lawsuit!!!!! Read all about it!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, HISTORY was made yesterday! After having read this, Jeff "I have a lawyer" Nussbaum, AKA Psycho DeuceBag, (XSEED's credited "FlasherTM" since he once posted his c-ck shot on the NeoGeo forums) finally broke his now 3 year long "vow of silence" towards me (a mutual de-facto state all the while he unloaded all scripts we produced to XSEED, taking full credit/full profit, right up to Ys Origin!) WITH another vow, that of a lawsuit!!!!!

Mission Accomplished! Actually got him butt-hurt enough to come out of hiding! So, after 3 years, 1 month, 1 week, (Saturday, 6/22/2013 - Saturday, 5/15/2010) from when he announced the first XSEED deal with Felghana and celebrated as if he got there all by himself, pretending as if my "step 1" work hours/labor had nothing to do with it and need not be counted (and basically, played stupid with me ever since), ultimately taking 100% credit/100% profit from a for-profit commercial entity (XSEED Games) for work hours/labor that he wasn't 100% responsible for, here is what this disgusting criminal had to say to the other man that made it possible that he COMPLETELY cheated with NO guilty conscience whatsoever (again, the first DIRECT communication to me after 3 years!):

Hello, Nick. I strongly suggest you back off, lest you get sued for libel. And unlike you, I actually do have a solid case.

Any correspondence from you will be forwarded to my lawyer, along with your existing libelous remarks on your website.

Final Email, with him pathetically reduced to nothing more than a low-life extortionist:

Blah blah... My original statement stands. Remove any and all reference to me ... from your web site, or I will bring legal action against you. "RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRR!!!!"

   Sorry criminal, but we both have the same problem: we're in different states and "your lawyer" has no jurisdiction here. For my "unjust enrichment" claim regarding your criminality with XSEED, I'd have to remotely hire a lawyer IN your state who would file the lawsuit for me with the small claims clerk in your county. Professional representation in small claims court is not necessary but it would spare me the trip to start the lawsuit. Anyhow, one of the many obstacles to justice when the enemy is in another state... And make no mistake about it, you're a monstrous criminal that needed to be brought to justice a LONG LONG time ago, you and Lipschultz!!! That is your legacy!

Translation: "*MY* lawsuit would actually stand a chance as opposed to yours! Neener Neener Neener!! Yesss, yesss, that's right, I already gots me a lawyer (sounds like you don't) who has experience with libel and can magically handle cases across state lines OR maybe I found one in your state, you don't know, so ya better watch out, chump!!! Neener Neener Neener!!! You know, you should've just gone away quietly like many of us at XSEED were hoping... So you got chumped, deal with it! Move on!! GET OVER IT!! Boohoo, cry me a river!"

If I didn't know any better, I'd say ole Psycho DeuceBag is calling me a liar. It takes lies to win such cases. He actually did post a photo of his d1ck on the NeoGeo forums immortalizing himself there as "The FlasherTM". He is an a$$hole, not hard to prove that! Funny though, after all these years, Psycho DeuceBag turns out to be an Enemy of Free Speech given this kind of threat! Same deal recently with Psycho John threatening to "contact the authorities" because I called him the hack journalist that he is for his 2009 actions of posting provable lies about me that Kurt Kalata deleted from HardcoreGaming101.
Well, I hope "your lawyer" will relieve you of $550 or more to get started, but the fact that you were butt-hurt enough to make this kind of threat already provides me with some feeling of justice, however small! BTW, were you well-medicated when you sent that email ?? Anyway, the mystery of what his first direct email/response to me would look like is solved... 3 years I waited to see it and, well, I feel very gyped... So there you have it, the criminal that cheated me starting in 2010, that got his name credited on several official XSEED releases of Ys games off of my back/sacrifices, my time, my tools, my labor, etc. now feels HE'S the victim, you see... The cruel/callous victimizer that went all "gangsta" on me now claims victimhood... Pfffft. Funny how that works!

P.S. History shows us interesting things now looking back. Part of the reason Seldane excised us from the Felghana title screen credits was because of your final post on AHOY ALOY where you equated him to PruvMeRong, the vile, bigoted, criminal menace that leaked the Felghana patch and he got butt-hurt about that... Well, the fact is, YOU turned out to be FAR WORSE than the leaker could EVER hope to be!! YOU ARE FAR, FAR WORSE THAN HIM! And Seldane was just an arrogant, lame, little bitch, emphasis on the little. Real small potatoes in comparison! Anyhow, don't EVER again try to use PruvMeRong in an argument and objectively/essentially indicate that you're better than him... Your betrayal was far worse! Your handling of the situation, after you were contacted by XSEED, just plain horrible and unforgivable! Bottomline, YOU turned out to be the biggest monster of them all, and for that, like I said, BURN IN HELL!!!!

P.S.2. This disgusting, lying a$$hole actually insinuated that I said something negative about his kids! I didn't say ANYTHING about your kids!! Paranoid much ? Seeing things that aren't there or what ?? Is your sight getting a little worse with age ?? Might have to rename ya again, this time to DunceBag! No, I called YOU a "child abuser" which was a criticism of YOU and that was all that I said!! Attacking your kids would've been something that your bigoted, low-class-no-class, atheist, Christophobic idol, Bill Maher, would do, who deliberately seeks out to insult everyone in Sarah Palin's family for example! "Trig Palin = retarded!! Ha ha, I'm funny!" - cause, yeah, it's all cool to pick on her family and you get away with it! So yeah, don't put me in the same class as your bigoted, hate-mongering hero/idol to score some moral points, you lying a$$hole!! That's what you bigoted hacks on the Far Left do, so go f--k yourself!! If you're gonna roll up in my direction 3 years later, you ought not make false accusations/insinuations! The only problem I have is with YOU, nobody else around you! And no, 2 sentences of asking if your wife divorced you and stating that she deserves better than you, is not in ANY way an attack on her! It's entirely a criticism of YOU, Mr. p0rn0star-wannabe!

BTW, I have some demands of you too, you wanna hear them ?? Yeah, thought so!! I don't care about what YOU want (part of which was based on manufactured outrage), I care about the state of injustice that continues on for its 3rd year, that which you perpetrated against me with Lipschultz and the fact that you tried to conserve it last summer with your lying to Ken Berry, your "Nick's work wasn't used! I swear!!" line... Gee, how did you manage to export a 2 column Excel file for Felghana when you were asked then ?? How was it that you had anything in your criminal hands to give to them that they wanted then ?? So my time spent on step 1 tasks (script extraction, translation software, etc.) doesn't count as "work" according to you but ANY time that you spent on step 2 labor (conversion to English) does ?? That's REAL cute... They should've asked your lying a$$ to define "work..." Impression: "But, but, I swear, I used old database copies, hence my rough drafts were exported, so I got rid of his edits on the English text, and the Japanese text, well, that TOO belongs to me, so yeah, his *work* wasn't used!! WHAT THE HELL ? He shouldn't get any credit for his time in extracting it, HE DIDN'T TYPE IT!!!! "WORK" SHOULD ONLY BE SELECTIVELY DEFINED AS "TYPING" HERE BECAUSE IT SERVES OUR NEEDS IN HIS EXCLUSION!!!" Like I said, you're a criminal, and your "logic" immoral, unethical, self-serving, etc. God's honest truth, you really DO need to be prosecuted! Understand the great extent to which I hate you, how disgusting and monstrous I find you, more so now than ever given the contents of your first email in 3 years! You need to be brought to justice, far worse than the leaker!!!

Important Addendum: Yes, there were a few more emails after that; I believed it was him at first, but then saw that his email address was new, thought I got "punked" and then I tried to verify who he was. Well, it IS him! And the demand changed from "Back off or else!" to a demand for a TOTAL XCISE/DELETION off of my site (remove ANY and ALL references) or "legal action shall be brought against you, etc." I've only ever dreamed and consulted about paying a lawyer in South Carolina one day to start the process, but he's "indicating" he already has and is ready to "pull the trigger" because now, somehow, he became the bigger "victim" in his twisted mind. Insulting, really. Of course, there's the classic bluff (likely, given the jurisdictional issue), to see how much intimidation can be achieved by that alone but you never know. Whatever the case, I'll need to find multiple free web hosts to have handy for when I finish the whole story of "The XSEED XCISE" so I can upload it to many targets; I will not let him keep the public from knowing about what happened! This indicates that he's embarrassed, perhaps recognizes some kind of wrong that he did, on some level, as did XSEED, and doesn't want you to know about it (XCISING everything about him, his behavior, all references, etc. means that the story can't get told)! I also know he isn't gloating anymore as he likely was in 2010 as was Lipschultz...

VINDICATED!
I haven't done sufficient updates to keep up with recent events but as many XSEED fans on Twitter know the company was BUSTED bigtime for cheating Brittany Avery after being fired with the disgraced Tom-chan "The KKK Witch" Lipschultz. This led to the fashionably flamboyant Executive Commander Sterling to produce this most excellent video lambasting XSEED for cheating people!
Alternate Title: "Ladies' Man Lipschultz" :P

Triumph: Insult Comic Dog's "Hear some spoilers?" joke.
(Wouldn't want a hack to misconstrue the meaning of
the joke and falsely characterize it as a "thre@t..."
)
   "I hate teh NightWolve and so should you! RAAAWWWR!"


Heh, is it me or do both of these a$$holes above look rather similar ? Strange coincidence there. Man, I hadn't even finished with the rant on Psycho John (on the right) before detouring to this subject, that's terrible.

Anyway, I'm taking an on-the-fly excursion on something that's been on my mind for years now and that should've been handled some time ago. Click below if you must. WARNING: SERIOUS INTERNET DRAMA!!! EDIT: It's gotten a little uglier than before, but hey, who gives a f--k at this point!

News/Info / Smug Cats and Ys IV... The Audacity!
« on: Dec. 17, 2012, 05:43:53 AM »
Look at what I found today on teh Internets... Yesss, I know it's a shame that teh Internet has too few images or videos of cats doin' somethin' (/end sarcasm), but there is some context here to post this. Look at what he's stepping on !! This, not soon after the Ys IV Dubbing project had finally been completed after 8 years!



The outrage, the audacity, the disrespect! It looks like this cat bastard even has a smug look on his face to boot... And I *know* he didn't donate either!!!! Yet another fucking freeloader WITH attitude, 99% strong and proud!! Heh-heh. ;)

38
Primer: >> I wrote about Psycho John Schizomaniak, a bullying bigoted blowhard, here as well... <<

(The Ys IV Project Harasser/Heckler)
Before we begin, quick question: Would you help raise 50,000 GBP ($78,410 USD) to "send" an utter and complete a$$hole to Japan to write a book about Japanese videogame developers that you *might* want to buy from him afterwards, assuming he succeeds in writing something that'd be worth the time ?? This contemptible clown actually started a Kickstarter project for this very purpose! That's right! Basically, it's a "Hey, I'm an a$$hole, gimme your money ($78,410 USD IN TOTAL!), send me to Japan and maybe I'll write a book that you'll wanna buy from me later!!" Bwahahahaha!

Just look at his disgusting, smug photo to the left, the air of utter arrogance and pompousness is so apparent!! The really scary thing is he actually gained pledges for half the amount he feels would be "necessary" to fund his little expedition/boondoggle (read: joyride) to Japan on somebody else's dime, the good little Communist that he is!! Heh-heh. This project will only be funded if at least the full £50,000 is pledged, so hopefully that doesn't happen! However, I'm not too familiar with Kickstarter, but I think this a$$-clown could just post the project idea again with a lower asking amount so that it succeeds next time around by the allocated time frame... How sad that people would invest in this lying, lazy, incompetent hack!!

Anyhow, let's take it from the top. I have a serious tale to tell, ladies and gentlemen, an unfortunate one, and sure enough there's been no shortage of those in my line of work, lemme tell ya... I've already slightly introduced the lunatic in question, but I have to set up some context before getting to his 2nd "royal" strike. This story, this excursion of mine, mainly has to do with his harassment/heckling efforts when it came to the Ys IV Dubbing Project, twice, once in 2009, AND a recent encore "presentation" when the dub patch was finally completed (late 2012) simply because I dared to criticize him for what he did in 2009 (the hypocritical, hell-raising, heckling hack CAN'T take a taste of his own medicine and he has a REALLY SEVERE case of this!!!)...

So, his real name is John Szczepaniak (AKA "Sketcz"), but for the purposes of accuracy and entertainment, I christened him as Psycho John Schizomaniak. John's an angry hack "journalist" with very poor fact-checking skills (as will be shown) that works at a UK gaming magazine called GamesTM, and is also a staff member at HardcoreGaming101.net among other places. He's also another one of my "satisfied customers," if you will, hence our little dust up. ;) What I mean by that is, he apparently developed a psycho hard-on for me to the point where I've been living rent-free inside his miserable malcontent mind for years (much like Spinner8, a r0mh@cking hack of hate, who's somewhat involved in this!) and yet I personally had never done anything to this man, aside from producing Ys patches for him to consume. Why is it the thankless freeloaders are always of the angriest bunch ??

Sorry. EDIT. IN. PROGRESS. I kept meaning to return and finish this, but I flamed out... :/

******** Scratch Outline to finish this article *********
* Attack post #1: http://hg101.proboards.com/post/93602
* Attack post #2: https://www.ysutopia.net/uploads/PsychoJohnOnYsIVDub.htm#psychojohn1

  • Looks for my Ys IV patch late 2008, can't find it, in a paranoid fashion, concludes this was all an intentional plot to deny the Internet and hacks like him from ever possessing it...
  • While on R0mh@cking hacks.net, the source of this paranoia and general douchebaggery (extortion threats, death-threats, you name it!), he reveals "totalitarian view" that unlicensed software should be cracked so he can always get it for free. Surprise surprise, an entitlement FREE-FOR-ME complex!
  • 2009, Creates giganto rant page on HardcoreGaming101 - He combines Communist Hammer & Sickle Imagery/Propaganda with Ys IV title screen images if you can believe that... The theme was "Worldwide Ys Freeloaders Unite against the big, bad, evil capitalist NightWolve!!" - He was butthurt about my criticisms for the 99% freeloading so this was his answer, etc.! You get the idea.
  • a) Accuses me of trying to make my Ys IV patch disappear (and others) from the Internet...
  • b) Accuses me of trying to stop GeeMac32bit from working on an Ys IV Dubbing project!!! Does not provide ANY quotes, ANYTHING at all to substantiate the previous claim! No quote from GeeMac to explain why, no quote from me, and yet on the same day on my website, I announce I'm working with GeeMac to get the dubbing done! It's a total fabricated LIE by a madman based on Thomas Lipschultz's trolling me in the past who was also his friend, so this was in a way to help him I suspect...
  • c) I contact Kurt Kalata, explain both accusations are COMPLETELY false and he deletes most of the page (http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2009/10/ys-iv-dawn-of-ys-fan-dub.html), apologizes, though a very weak apology at that.
  • 2011, Psycho John releases parts of interviews that were cut in the editors' room of GamesTM.
    http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2011/07/history-of-ys-interviews-by-john.html
    From this I learn that Psycho DeuceBag tried to libel/slander me in an interview for a UK videogame magazine. I was never notified and would have no place to respond to if that libel had actually been printed in that issue... I knew from this that Psycho DeuceBag and XSEED were going to have war on their hands.
  • 2012, Psycho John discovers that I wrote a few sentences (3-4) about what he did in 2009 in the Ys IV ReadMe. Explodes in a fit of rage, unleashes vile, venomous, vicious, verbal abuse upon BurntLasagna for what I wrote and attacks everybody in the project, a fanatical guilt by association, for not having known they were "supposed to" swoop down and censor my comments about him because the little darling can't take criticism, let alone a taste of his own medicine.

Blah, aborted from here; must remind myself to finish this op-ed on him - 4/8/2014

Well, I'm gonna have to take you back to the past, to effectively explain why Mr. Schizomaniak really sucks so much ass! The year was 2009, blah blah here >

Hey Kurt, I'm glad I had some contact with you earlier otherwise I wouldn't know who to go to for this. OK, very bizarre, but you apparently have a member on your staff, Sketcz, that decided to launch a wild attack with outright, intentional lies about me, my patches, and so forth. You can't write this stuff, wow... As far as I can tell, I did nothing other than offer to continue the Ys IV dubbing project with a fella that recently showed up (/forums/index.php?topic=89.msg3702#new).

First, here's the link: http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2009/10/ys-iv-dawn-of-ys-fan-dub.html

He's blantantly lying, claiming that all of my patches haven't been available all this time and other wild shit. I'm going to post there in a second, but in case he just deletes me, I wanted to get you to talk some sense into him. My spider sense tells me he might've been trying to bait me into responding to him, but I'm not sure.

I made a post, but in case he never approves it, I'll add it on here for your viewing:

Happy Console Gamer (Johnny), a big Ys fan, marks the 25th Anniversary of the Ys series given how influential it was to him! He sports a nice original collection to boot and a "I love Ys" t-shirt that I didn't even notice the first time around! Heh. ;) I've chatted with him on youtube in the past, he's a pretty cool guy with a decent retro gaming-related channel. He once said that, quote, "75% of the reason I started a show up on youtube was to talk about Ys and other underground games like it, as nobody was talking about Ys on youtube and I couldn't understand why??"I got an honorable mention 6:30 into this one for the Ys IV translation patch! An actual appreciative Ys fan, very hard to come by and only number in the 400-500 range out of a 10-year pool going way past >60,000 these days!I had a few more thoughts on this here.

Pages: [1] 2 3
