10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

Hey gang, I just wanted to say "thanks as always."   I appreciate your support. 
:)
#2
Lol.   Esteban's true form is revealed.
#3
It was always questionable but ... at this point, volume 4 will follow the previous (with 25 reviews).    The final volume will have the final 35 (at least that is the plan, ha ha).   

Who knows ... by then DVDs will be dust and we'll have them implanted directly into the brain.  :)

Thanks for the support and for watching as always gang!
About 40 some more to go ... hard to believe.  Ha ha

 :)

Thanks a lot guys for always watching.   I appreciate it.   

PS:   Ha!   esteban - Mr. Hard G!

Well, I mean ... it is probably an old-fashioned, outdated way of doing things.   Ha ha!   But, that's the way I started doing the series back in 2008 / 09 and I just continued the same way.    I like playing the games using the original hardware (so I can put myself back in that time).  Plus, it helps me to take "notes" as I capture the footage as to things I want to make sure to mention in the review itself.   You know?   

Although ... my Digital8 camcorder only goes out via Firewire into the computer.  So, I had to pickup a FW card when I updated the computer.   Doh!  :)

Hey, thanks Gredler!   I appreciate that, I truly do.   


SavagePencil ... I play my games on an actual TurboDuo and record the footage through an old SONY Handycam Digital-8 Camcorder.   Then, I capture that footage into my computer (making script notes as I do) and "up-convert" the final video slightly for YouTube upload.   So .. I have never used emulation but rather the actual hardware to play every game in my review from day one. :)   

Thanks!
Chris

Quote from: spida1a on 07/03/2016, 12:08 PMThanks Groover.   I think so far ... of the games that are "beatable" ... I'm batting about 83% in beating them for reviews.   The ones I can't I try REALLY REALLY hard.  Lol!  :)
spida1a, how much of your footage capture is from live hardware and how much is done through emulation?  I was wondering if you could just cheat your way through on the latter.

Hey, thanks ginoscope!  And, same to you!
#12
Thanks TRON!!    That's awesome man.   :)

Also, just a note but ... I made a few quick fixes to the DC review and re-uploaded (in case you want to re-embed, lol):
#13
Thanks SumerNivek, EvilEvoIX, MattJ, munchiaz, and grolt !

I appreciate the support and comments. 
Have a great Thanksgiving all!
#14
Thanks for the support, as always guys!!

DC was a tough one to score because I kept flipping between 4 and 4 1/2.   In the end, that 1/2 star doesn't really make all that much of a difference (I found enough little quirks with the game to keep it from there and feel confident with the choice).   But, at times I wish I hadn't even started the "rating scale" all those years ago so I could just let my review speak for itself. 

I'd say we're on a roll!!!

Thanks again!   The next one is in the works!
Have a great Thanksgiving and Holiday everyone!
#15
Hey TRON ... can I hire you for PR work!?   Ha ha. 
Thanks as always!!  ;)
#16
Thanks for watching and commenting guys.    :)
#17
Lol.    Thanks esadajr  :)
#18
Ha!   Ah yes ... Falcon ... haven't gotten to that one yet.   :)

Thanks a lot Bardoly my friend!    I appreciate it.
#19
I think the "bleep" properly placed is funnier as well.   And there are some older videos where I DID swear a bit more.   But ... I just don't feel it is necessary really.   A lot of YOUNG kids watch my series (and their parents have told me so).  I'm not totally PG but it's all just a personal choice and ... it doesn't add a thing to it.

And honestly ... In the end ... It's my channel.   So I can do what I want.  Nyah Nyah Nyah, right?   Lol. 

And thanks everyone.  Truly!
#20
Haha, thanks Jibb.  It's all good! 

Esteban ... No drama at all.  On a side note ... Did you find out anything on that screen you were taking about??   I am curious now for sure.
#21
Thanks for watching guys.   I always appreciate your kind words.   

By the way ... One person left a comment that I shoud not have "censored a*#".    Haha.    My sincere apologies for not swearing more guys.    Lol.

Thanks again!   
Chris

#22
Lol!  Duh!  ;)
#23
It's very cool to see the TurboGrafx getting "love" (or coverage) anywhere.   

You know what's funny, though?   I got accused of ripping-off the Angry Nerd in MY very early Turbo Views episode showcasing "Darkwing Duck" (because I was mad at the game).     I am sorry but ... I was definitely angrier than AVGN!   And I beat the damn game for the video as well!   Ha ha!   ;)

I used to take the Crush games on trips with me all the time.   Sadly, I get motion-headaches so ... I couldn't play for long.  :(

#25
Me too TRON!    Sigh, I miss those days!   ;)
#26
Lol.   Yikes.   Uh .... mission accomplished????    Haha.     :)
#27
So excited for this!    Let me know if there is anything I can help with!  :)
Chris Bucci
#28
Ha!   Indeed it is!   :)
#29
Bumpity bump bump 'n stuff.  :)
#30
Thanks Groover!   I appreciate it.
I really enjoy doing them and am so glad people enjoy it.  :)
(PS:  That Dracula-X tape ... what memories, lol)
#31
Yes SIR!!!     Ha ha.  :)

Honestly, I have played, captured in the computer and written scripts for SIX different games.   I just have to get to the creation of the vids themselves.   But, I just started a new job and rehearsals for "The Addams Family" musical so ... time has shrunk quite a bit (as it usually does, urgh!).   

Thanks as always for the positive feedback though!  As always.   :)
#32
Ha ha.    Thanks for the tips gang.   ;)
#33
Ha ha!   Well ... there are a good handful of games I "am awful at that are way out of my area of gaming interest" so ... I will be soliciting some help on those reviews (to make sure we get some integrity and information).   I can tell you that M&MIII is one of 'em.  :)
#34
It is not in the next five.   But, I have a list picked out up through review #100 (including a handful of imports) and it IS in that list.   ;)
#35
Ha ha.   Indeed!   :)
I have about five games in the pipeline (played and captured in the computer).  Just have to get to them.   
Thanks for watching!

Hey gang!!!

I am looking to snag nicer copies of the two manuals that came with the Gate of Thunder Disc for Bonk's Adventure and Bonk's Revenge (should have Turbo Technologies printed on the back of the two manuals).  Anybody have any leads!?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks guys.   :)
We're hitting the home-stretch on the series.   Hard to believe only 55 some left to cover.
#39
Great work my friend!!!    Thanks.  :)

This is great news!     
In case you want to see some video of the actual game itself, here's a review from last year (special thanks to the Frozen Utopia gang):
#42
Lol!   Or have that person "taken care of quietly!"   ;)
#43
SO close to finishing this checklist of wants.  Ha ha. 
No luck on Duo World:  Issue #2 and #3?  Anyone?  ;)
#44
Thanks a lot!  I have a LOT of fun doing them when I can.   :)
Chris
#45
Ha ha.  :)
#46
Not sure if this one counts but ... I started one for the "Turbo Views" series.  It mostly focuses on the show itself.  But, people post their findings, purchases and memories there all the time.

 Hope things are going well my friend!

Okay yeah ... I never got that one is appears.   Ugh! 

Yeah, I just saw your comment.   Dude .. I love your passion for CW (something I never had for it myself).   Can you possibly do a video-response and talk about the game like that?  I would gladly link it to my video!   Do they still do video responses on YT?  I don't even know.  Lol. 
Later!

Hey Esteban!   Did I miss a message or e-mail from you?   If so, SO sorry...resend!
Thanks,
Chris
