I was going to do another parody podcast, but this is increasingly annual enough as it is.

Work on alpha is going slow and steady (but it's still a long ways from being done). Quote of the day: Ryouma: All right, here we go to a short but intense battle them!!

And as a special bonus, here's a random thing I made which may or not be showing up in botchamania sometime soon:

So obviously by months I meant years. To be fair, I'm only living up to my track record of self-imposed deadlines. Also, as I never mentioned, I was bumped up to main editor of the alpha script. So there's a lot to do (and it's still gonna take a while). But far be it from me to focus on one thing, so look, a podcast!! And a very special one, at that. The introduction of a supporting hero! ~~Who could it be~~ I'm bad at secrets. It's Santa Claus.

Kenichi: Do Zuhl! You were the coward who did that trick! I'll never forgive you!!

More slower please.

The podcast is on hold for a bit. The upshot of this is that you'll see one (maybe even two) fan translations within the next couple months. But to tide no one over, I did make this video dedicated to Kamen Rider U2 (the one who moonlights as Kikaider).

Gendo: After all, the humanity's worst enemy is the humanity.

Took long enough. But that's me for you. As a bonus, from hereon I'll post these with unedited lines from the srwα script.

Banjo: At any hate, we have to make emergencial plans. I leave the remaining gold reserves of Mars to you.

Another non-update.

It's worth mentioning that (on top of having a proper job again) I'm an editor for AGTP's Super Robot Wars Alpha translation. So things should continue to be about as slow as usual. All the same, should have a thing up soonish.

Also, since this sort of post is apparently popular, another fond farewell to Shiftylook. Which once sponsored a bandamco-themed mishmash of webcomics ranging from hilarious to mediocre. The company went under quite recently, probably for hoping their phone games and G-rated dating sims and youtube videos would be a lot more popular than they were. In fairness, the Bravoman and Mappy videos deserved to be. I mean, c'mon, they got Rob Paulsen. But in the internet, as in the highlander, there can be only one. Shiftylook, your lack of audience and plethora of stolen jokes that never land BE MI... wait, I already have that. I suppose I'll just see you in hell, then. It was fun while it lasted.

Imagine this.

This is not an update. Today I can't even claim to be speaking as Jollytheoldsaint Thaddeus Oldsaint; Undandy Delusion Of Jössenseiter The Impact; The Last Remaining Human; Owl Mutate. Because that Jollytheoldsaint wouldn't care about this. But I would.

Today Marvelous Online's online department is going offline. And its taking with it the US version of Shin Megami Tensei: IMAGINE (Interactive Muppet Ass Grabbing Into Neo Existentialism). Sad news, but in truth only a handful of people are going to care. It is, after all, a game centered on recycled Nocturne graphics and three dungeons. All of which cost more to run than not to. But for a time, I confess, I was into it. I was really into it. Not for the gameplay, which was fun. Not for the story, which was brilliant (if screaming unfinished). Not for the lovely cast of npcs, whose dialogue would get stranger and stranger as time went on. Not for the forum events which made the game actually feasibly free to play. Or the grind of leveling, grindy to a point where I'd feel superior to the level 6,795 wow players who got every mount in the game. Because those assholes would never be able to hit 90 in megaten. No, I wasn't into IMAGINE for any of those reasons. And certainly not for the friends I made for life playing it. No, I was really into it because it was the owlnly game which would allowl me to type this owl emote: ⓄvⓄ. Like as not, there will never again be such a game. And for that I feel the need to honor it. In the same way megaten would, by sharing something I did years ago:

Its been swell.

I made reference to a "face from sleepaway camp" last time and forgot to mix it in with the screencaps. So I added it to this lot. See if you can spot it.
