Information Kiosk / Re: Translating TSC
« on: July 31, 2009, 06:05:22 am »
Just posting to say I haven't forgotten about this, and that I ought to get down to business early next week.
Unless there's a new text file that I've somehow missed, I'll just do the file I already downloaded and post the new rules on the front page separately. Any objections to this plan?
As for what you're "supposed to learn to translate everything correctly," I'd say you need a high level of grammatical understanding, a decent vocabulary with knowledge of corresponding collocations, and access to good dictionaries. 頑張れ！

Ok, I guess I'm gonna give this a go (translating to Japanese) when I get some free time (probably toward the end of July...)
As for my qualifications, I've studied Japanese for nearly six years and have lived in Japan for three of those years. I am confident in my speaking, reading and writing abilities. I've done some part time work translating from Japanese to English, but as anyone with translation experience knows, going from a native language to a non-native language is a whole new game.
That's why I'd like to hook up with anyone else who feels qualified for the job! Let's work it out, work it out, think about it! Work it out, work it out, talk about it! Work it out, work it out, make it happen! Let's work it out, work it out! We've got to make it real!
Making some inquiries in chat, it looks like Upth and possibly Blazest speak Japanese? Anyone else? I understand, of course, that people are busy and asking for a commitment would be quite an imposition. Nevertheless, I'd like to get as many people involved as possible!
I might also decide to whip up some standardized messages that can be used to invite some of those Japanese players who pop up on Youtube like Gomasennen or Shintaro. Any other ideas?

Well, to be honest, I never (blasphemy!) finished the first one. This is not a function of the game, though, but a function of the fact that my first generation GBA is impossible to play on (no backlight, disgusting glare). The DS Lite looks and feels amazing though, I may be purchasing one.....and if/when that happens, you can bet I'll snatch up Advance 2/3 and Rush!

Wow, that was fast, thanks for the warm welcome! We'll see if I can't get something up before heading back to school!
As for Azure Heights, I haven't been back in years and I hardly ever posted, but the name looked really, really familar.

Hi, I'm totally new to speedruns, my only experience is wasting a good 3 hours with my freshman RA in a competition to beat Emerald Hills Zone Act 1 as fast as possible. Imagine my surprise to see here that 26 seconds isn't even close to a record!
In any case, I've been a Sonic fan since childhood, and I own all the non-Game Gear games/compilations up to SA2. Most of what's after that has been a serious disappointment to me, and I just wish Sega would fix the camera/controls instead of trying to "improve" the series with bad voice acting, overwrought plot (not that plot is bad!), and more new characters than I can count. Oh, and while I'm at it I ought to express my fervent prayer for the triumphant return of special stages.
Hopefully I'll be able to put up some Knuckles Chaotix records, since not too many people actually own it, and thus I won't have THAT many people to compete with (judging from the vids though, I've got some serious practice to do!).
For the time being, I'm just pleased to have found a Sonic fan community not overrun with furry fanfic writers (or worse, artists!).
Most forums I frequent don't really encourage introductions, so I hope I've done this right!
Speaking of other forums, Rolken, did you ever frequent a forum called Azure Heights?
