PSX Policenauts manual
http://www.msxnet.org/gtinter/pnaut/pnaut-ma.htm
May be too early to post this, but I might as well before I forget later when the patch comes out, or someone posts it before me. This is a text-only translation of the PSX Policenauts manual, done by the one and only Takamichi Suzukawa. He translated MSX Snatcher into English, and his, er, unique translation kept my friend (who was watching me play) in stitches all night. (He couldn't stop laughing at Metal saying "I made a paper!" during the rock-paper-scissors scene.)
Anyway, useful little reference there for those of us who have the manual, like me, but can't read it. It's already linked deep within the bowels of this site, but I posted it here for quicker access to it.

I swear I wasn't bashing Takamichi; I too am thankful for his contributions to the MSX community and that we have a translated MSX Snatcher thanks to him. I was just commenting on how his English skills were amusing to my friend and I.Osiris wrote:I still have incredible respect for Takamichi and the time he puts into his work. I remember playing his English translation of MG2 before I knew any Japanese. If it wasn't for him and the other members of that team, people would've had to wait until Subsistence.

So friggen true too, he's become an underrated shadow lately in the translation-gaming scene. Really polite and humble guy too -I remember having the gift of working with him, and Ramon Ribas on the MG2; and on another duel occasion -the Snatcher -MSX/MSX-2 translation projects as a sparse proof reader and patch-emulation beta troubleshooter.Osiris wrote:No, I know you weren't bashing him. I just wanted to use the opportunity to publicly express my graditude for his work. I don't think he gets enough credit for what he's done over the years (not from you guys; I'm talking about elsewhere).
And at this moment (or the last time I remember), I hear he's still trying to start up a decent Jap-pop-rock band hahahaah. (But he totally says he's only in it for the groupies hahAHAHAAHH!!!!!)

Wow, now that was worth posting about, wasn't it? Grammar! And actually, dear child, it is indeed "my friend and I". Way to make yourself look like an ass and waste everybody's time while doing it.seraphssavior wrote:My friend and me. I think it's my turn to laugh, man...I was just commenting on how his English skills were amusing to my friend and I. :Razz:

Maybe you should learn to quote properly so I could have understood your post more easily. ??:seraphssavior wrote:Take out the words "My friend" and see how it sounds. I was just commenting on how his English skills were amusing to I...makes perfect sense, you were totally right. Maybe you should stop harassing other people.
And so what if it doesn't make sense when you take out "my friend"? The sentence structure changes whether or not it's in there, so when you take it out, the sentence must change to "amusing to me" to be gramatically correct. And please don't tell me not to harass people when you're the one who decided to nitpick my grammar for absolutely no reason, which was written correctly in the first place.

It's not a quote if I change it, yet another mistake...and besides, you do have to use "me" in all cases such as that. You have to change it because one is supposed to use "Myself" in situations such as this one. Not to mention that this all started because you harassed another persons use of English, anyways.

Harassed?! Are you blind? I clearly wrote that I was just amused by Takamichi's translation. That's not harassment. That's a statement. You want me to harass another person's (not "persons") English? Sure: your English sucks. Pay more attention in class. Middle school is mighty tough, I know firsthand, but when you graduate and actually go on to 9th grade, it's a great feeling to know you actually learned something. You're probably failing English and your parents, who are already disappointed with what a little shit you turned out to be, are also pissed off with your lousy grades.seraphssavior wrote:Not to mention that this all started because you harassed another persons use of English, anyways.
Read topics more carefully, as I clearly NEVER "harassed" Takamichi's English, and/or stop making piss-poor excuses to pick apart people's writing for no reason.

Yet my initial provoking is not without cause. It seems like you come here to belittle others. When ratperson brought op the dubbing again, you were over-zealous in your attempt to attack him, without even hearing him out. He's a nice guy, just a little bit over-enthusiastic. Don't harangue others when all they are trying to do is help.

Nah, you weren't here back when Ratperson was driving us all fucking insane. Spam all over the place, requests for help wth his Breaker Pro and a place to download a Killer 7 "ROM" (fucking hilarious). He ranted about how much the Saturn sucks, and how he loved the PSX and never wanted to betray Sony (lest they stop being his friend? :sad:). He bugged us for weeks for support about a "one-man" project to dub his copy of Policenauts into English, and wrote an AWFUL fanfic and demanded explanations from anyone who didn't like it. When he brought up the dubbing idea again, I thought we were all in for it a second time so I moved to strike, and wasted no time in doing so. Read the archives (Ratperson has more locked topics than anyone else on the forum), and you'll see what I mean, n00b.seraphssavior wrote:Yet my initial provoking is not without cause.

Sure. You think I come here to belittle others? I come here to talk Snatcher and Policenauts with great, intelligent guys like Osiris and the like, and not get picked on by twelve-year-old Final Fantasy retards. I thought you were walking away from this with your dignity intact, confident in your victory? Why are you still trying to continue your idiotic beef with me? Don't tell me you're a hypocrite, along with the fact that you're dimwitted and impulsive?seraphssavior wrote:That's pretty low, man. Got anything else?

@8bitsonic; Oh come on man, that's pretty tight, he's a safe guy once you get to know him. He likes Snatcher and Policenauts like anybody and everybody else here. Try and contain yourself from being like this, it ain't nice, and it certainly is not worth it either, arguing like this. Don't ruin such a nice little community we have going here, please by just arguing over nothing at all.
