NEWS(?): 6/21/02 - This is what happens when I slack off, you know...
|
| They say a picture's worth a thousand words... I'd say this one's worth about 4 or 5, myself. Probably "This guy are sick". |
| Nope, nothing in terms of progress lately. Still waiting on Skeud, still slacking on my other projects, can't even get enough motivation built up to work on my latest project. And yet, I still manage to play FF7 practically non-stop... What the hell is wrong with me? Other than the obvious case of high-functioning autism, of course. |
| Wait, did I forget to mention that I have Asperger's Syndrome? Yeah, I do. Yay go me, I'm antisocial and think too much. Just call me Squall, thanks. Seriously, though, I don't mind in the least. I actually kinda like being unable to act in socially accepted ways. |
| Anyway, nothing's really new (other than the diagnosis there), so I'll stop babbling now. |
| I'm just notorious for this kind of thing, so I'll keep it brief. I have another big project (why I constantly start them and never finish them is beyond even my understanding), and this one's probably even less likely to be completed than any other project I've started. "Ambitious" can barely begin to describe it... |
| I bet you expect me to spill the beans on it, huh? It's tempting, but I'd prefer to keep it mostly in the dark for now, mainly because I don't want a repeat of LoS1 (which is STILL in beta testing, due to my beta testers all mysteriously vanishing). The only thing I will say is that it's an RM2K project, as was LoS1. |
| Even saying that was probably too much... Anyway, involving various translation projects, I can't get anything done on any of them due to a few reasons, ranging from lack of patches (Skeud, where are you?!) to lack of interest (which really confuses me, to be honest). |
| Anyway, don't hold your collective breath, it's going to be a while before anything truly new shows up around here... |
| If you must blame anything, blame Star Ocean 2. I love that game so much... |
| Yep, I did it again. I vanished without a trace, and reports state that I'm somewhere in the middle of the Bahamas, sipping fine tropical drinks (don't I wish). Truth be known, I've been stolen away once more by various games, including (but not limited to) Star Ocean 2, Lunar 1, and the infamous Dragon Warrior 7. |
| Will anything improve? Not likely. I've updated my FAQs section, and added in some of my demented fanfiction I've written over the years (yes, demented; don't believe me? Check them out). Other than that, I haven't updated anything... Projects are still all in hiatus, and I still have no idea what happened to my pants. |
| Oh, wait, I'm wearing my pants. Well, that's one mystery solved... |
| Anyway, there's still a little left to report... No there isn't, my bad. I'm still a lazy bum. Sorry. |
| Oh, and if you're wondering about any of my projects (most everyone seems to be recently), they're all still alive, just in carbon freeze until I can actually get some progress done on them (be that via motivation or skill). |
| I won't deny it, I'm a lazy bum. I haven't gotten anything done on my translations for the past half month or so, and I've been slacking off playing RPG's for the majority of that time. Hate me if you wish, but remember, we all need a break sometimes. |
| Fear not, though! True updates worthy of mentioning on this page will occur soon! ...I think... Er, it could be that I'll just keep playing Star Ocean 2 and forget about my page, slowly decay into a shadow, and just fade away... But what's the chances of THAT happening? |
| Damn it, Crawd, learn to AIM! Hmm? Oh, sorry... |
| Well, I should be back at my usual efforts within the next week to two weeks, if all goes well. And it had BETTER go well. Got that, ya pesky lower brain? |
| ...Don't you talk back to me, you! Excuse me, I have to have a little "adjustment" session with my reptilian thought center. |
| Get back here, you little...! Hey, stop that! Nyaa! |
| ... ... ... ... |
| Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, as I was saying, expect great things to resume happening soon. ...I heard that, you little twit! Get back here so I can show you who REALLY controls this body! |
| You'll have to excuse me, my lower brain doesn't like seeing reason. Come back here, you! |
| If you didn't understand that, don't worry. It just says (roughly), "the world is rude". |
| And that it is. I have so little time for translation and design of my RPG's now, thanks to finals... But progress is being made! Due to my greatful sacirifice of eating, sleeping, and breathing, I have made significant progress on my efforts! |
| Life is short. Bury! Steady Sword! |
| Wha? No, I haven't been playing FF Tactics in my spare time, honest... Well, okay, maybe a little... |
| Burning anger... Rising... Burst! Wave Fist! |
| Okay, maybe a lot... Sorry, I've been drawn into FF Tactics, big time... And who wouldn't be? Er, I'll get back to translating soon, I promise! |
| ...Right after I kick this boss's ass. Eat Choco Meteor and die! |
| Okay, okay! Jeez, so impatient... |
| ...And here's to another four! That's right, the least useful web page on the net (aka. this site) is now four years old! How did I manage to keep the page so useless for so long without ever noticing it?! Ha, I'm just being sarcastic. I thought I'd do a gigantic update for this time, but all I really have to offer is a new title image, a bit of reformatting on the main page, and squat for progress on my translation efforts. BUT...! The FF6j translation is going to be back on track soon (unless a new crisis arises in my life), so keep your eyes peeled (well, not literally; that'd really hurt). |
| And in other news, Chrono Trigger is fun. But that's not really NEW news, now is it? |
| In other other news, I'm insane. But everybody knows that, so that's not news either. |
| Well, I guess I really don't have any more news. |
| ...If you're still reading this, then I'm inclined to ask why... |
| But then, it's your choice. :P |
| Maybe, just maybe, I can get back into this "updating" thing... Anyway, all I'm really updating about is to make clear what's going on with my projects. All translations are currently on hold until I can finish my own RPG (which is NOT a translation, despite what some have come to think), which is in the beta testing phase right now. |
| ...Did you expect some comment about terrorists and bombings? Sorry, not my forte... |
| Which is not to say that I don't care, I'm just sick of hearing about the incident. |
| Yep, I've updated again. This has to be a new record... Anyway, I've uploaded many a FAQ that I've written over the years. The new page can be found here, if you're too lazy to click on the new link above. |
| Don't get your hopes up, I'm only updating because I haven't updated in a long while. I've been so busy enjoying summer vacation that I haven't had much ambition to improve my site or add things to it. Progress has ground to a halt, essentially, as I spend more and more time playing games and reading books, and less and less time working on my projects. Fear not, though, I shall return to working on things soon. ...I hope. Maybe I'll have something up for my webpage's "4th year in existence" update... |
| This update has very little to do with any other update on my page (what a big shocker that is). I have a project that I've been working on roughly since my FF6j translation stopped getting regular progress reports. It is this project that has caused the lack of updates or progress on all other projects. Feel free to check it out, if you wish. |
| Well, I've finally got something to update the page with, but it's not what you may have expected (indeed, probably not even remotely close). Like most of the net's denizens, I've heard about the word's worst translation (aka. Zero Wing), and have decided to spoil all the fun by re-writing the intro so that it's in English. Ain't I a meanie? :P You can find the patch here. |
| A lot of people ask me, "Why don't you ever update your web page?" Well, the reason would be that I never have anything to add most of the time. Since I've gotten kind of tired of sorting through "Have you given up on (insert name of translation here)" messages, I've decided to update my translations, to help clarify their statuses. |
| The main piece of interest is that I'm going to be pruning out sections from my page that I've never really updated, or that I never intended to update. Oh, and I've also begun preliminary translation of Chrono Trigger (Japanese). More info to come... |
| The main part of my page hasn't seen much action lately (update-wise), but SRT has been updated like mad lately. Unfortunately, I don't have much else to add for this update, other than that I was rather angry that I hadn't updated my main page in 4 months. :) |
| MIP has been updated recently, with a complete overhaul of the script. You can get it at the usual spot. Thanks for your patience! Oh, and I've started a new design for my page. |
| Finally, I've added a new section to my page: Sky Render Translations. This section will be the place to go for all of my translations henceforth. Enjoy! |
| Although I've declined to mention it, I've updated my page quite a bit lately. Now I'm on Tripod, too. My Insane Project is complete. It's a re-translation of Final Fantasy III US. Check it out! |
| Summer sure did pass by quick! I'm updating for the last time for... oh, I'd guess around two months or so. I added my Usenet sig file. Yes, that's it. |
| I added a few features to my e-mail sending links that automatically adds the correct subject for you. Other than that, I've also added to the Ultimate Square. |
| Since I moved to FreeServers, I've had some link troubles. Those problems have been fixed. Now, all e-mails refer to the correct e-mail address. |
| Once again, a new addition to this ever-enlarging page: A Half-Life section has been started, and is in the works. Other than that, I have nothing to contribute to this page. At least, for this update... |
| I've updated! As is often the way of things, I've updated far more often than it appears. This is, in fact, the 2nd time I've updated my page in 3 days. I've changed appearances (as you may have seen from the first section), and have made some dearly-needed updates to information. PS: A Half-Life section may be coming to this page soon, so keep your eyes peeled! |
| The StarCraft section has been done for some time, but I've forgotten to upload it until now. This should be a nice change for this page, as it has been stagnating, of late. |
| Well, it's December again, and I've got very little else to say. My FF7 section of the ultimate square is going quite nicely, and I'm working on a StarCraft section to help revive this page. Until the next update... |
| I've completed the grim task of declaring sections of my page to be dead. I've also added some more FF7 GameHack information. If you want to see a section of my page revived, send files relating to the section to me. It sounds desperate, but I have no alternative. |
| Actually, I've updated twice since my last official update. I've mostly been adding GameHack codes to the FF7 section of the Ultimate Square. Mayhap I'll one day update some other sections of my page, but as of now, I truly have no materials to do this with. Ahh, well. |
| Update! I've updated the Ultimate Square: More FF7 GameHack codes, info on FF1 through FF6, and... well, that's about it. Anyway, I hope to have codes for the newly finished sections soon! |
| I've decided to update again, as I've completed (for the most part) my Squaresoft section, THE ULTIMATE SQUARE! More to come later, but until then, keep sending in levels and such! |
| I've finally updated my page! Wow! It's been 5 months, but it was about that time, anyway, and school's out for summer. :^) Well, STATION4 is done already (and on this server), as well as STATION3, so you can check them out if you want to. My SW section is finally fixed (I can't believe I didn't figure that out before!!!), so if you like Shadow Warrior, go on in! Oh, and I've got an idea for this page for some time in the near future: a Squaresoft games page. I'm still thinking on it, though... |
| Forgetful me! I keep forgetting to update my page. Well, here's my page, with a new look! STATION3.MAP is finally done! I am now debating on wether or not to make another Station level. I think I might just... I have added the outlines of a Shadow Warrior page, and will fill it up ASAP. Until then, enjoy the SW section!!! PS: Genesis is at a point where I discovered it can't be recovered. Sorry, but genesis is dead, now! |
| I forgot I had a web page there for a while! Sorry. I hope that I get some more hits, and soon. Business is good, and RAMA is coming along nicely. It should be done by the next update. I added a neat little section on the Rama book series. Look at it if you like Arthur C. Clarke's writings! |
| Badly needed an update. Finally added the Genesis demo, and a few of my VERY old Doom/Doom II levels. WarCraft II is new, but I forgot to mention it before. Have fun! |
| My web pages are at last complete! I have worked all weekend to finish the sections for my page, and I am pleased with the results. I hope you will be, too, but that's up to you. I am accepting any and all levels that can be sent to me via e-mail or ICQ, so start sending those levels to me! Have fun in the meantime. |
