@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

It shouldn't lead to either of those things as most ads should be gaming related.  I wouldn't think Google would allow ads that are addware/spyware in their system....

The "Show unread posts since last visit." link from now on will not show posts from the Fighting Street forum.

I fracked up something else in the process which I am fixing next.

Just for everyone's info - I had zero time to work on the unread posts issue last night.  As soon as I get home from work (in 2 hours) I will make this #1 priority.

The reason I wanted to post up this poll is to get member reaction on the change.  I won't do it if it doesn't make sense to both the site, and to the members of the forum.

I hope to be back in a few hours with that forum update...

Hi Plink - welcome to the forums.  We've had trouble with users in the past creating fake accounts and using them for malicious purposes.  You are welcome to post about the NEC consoles - just follow the posting & forum rules that you agreed to when you created your account.

I used to have time and motivation in bunches, but life (aka marriage) has sucked the life out of me.  I can't imagine what will happen to me if I have a kid.

Quote from: ooPo on 04/08/2009, 01:27 PMThe only thing that bugs me is all the Fighting Street posts showing up in the unread post list. There's a lot of noise going on.
I'll keep looking into this.  It should have been fixed already (I still can't see them on my end which is strange).

EDIT: OH.....I'm sorry...this was fixed for the "View the most recent posts on the forum" list previously.  I'll look into changing it for the unread posts section today.

Should be at the end of every thread, and above the shoutbox on the main page.  If you don't see it you probably need to clean out your browser cache.

ehh i think you should setup a paypal donate button. i'd rather give a few bucks directly to you than support the cunts that run those ad companies
Great idea SnowKitty.  I'll look into that.

It has been suggested that the NEC Console Forums roll back to what it was originally created for - talking about NEC related consoles.  To do this, we would remove the chit-chat & fighting street forums first to focus more on NEC related discussion.

Please vote and leave your comments if you wish about this proposed change.
#513
Well, I'm thinking just get rid of the source of the problems and close down both the Fighting Street & Chit-Chat forums all together and bring back the forum to its roots.  This will make mod duties much easier and clear cut on what posts need action and will get rid of the drama.  I'm going to make a poll to see what people think about this.

About the "Is Aaron Nanto gay?" thread in Fighting Street which is now deleted:

Joe, I can't believe you would post something like this.  I don't care if you were joking or not (I can't tell anymore) but even you can realize that publicly humiliating me doesn't give a good impression to anyone - and gives you even less respect in the eyes of site visitors as a mod.  Would you post something like this about your manager above the workplace watercooler for all of your coworkers to see?  No... same common sense applies here.

Please either PM me or post on this thread if you have any questions or comments.  If something isn't spelled out that I need to address, please let me know.

BTW, Nat's post about all of the forum members was fine as it wasn't a personal attack directly at me (in case you were wondering) and the feel was pretty obvious that he was making fun at everybody.

The file is very small since it is flash - about 2MB...and since people won't be staying on the main page very long, I'd rather have it loop (at least for now...I might have it stop at the logo later).  I've also uploaded it to my YouTube account just now.

Quote from: Pcenginefx on 03/30/2009, 06:54 PMI got this working finally - had to use a different burner which was my problem.  Did they provide any English printable CD cover & back for this translation?  I saw they had small screenshots but no printable artwork.
Hey.

I have not seen any printable artwork for this as of yet. I honestly do not see why this would be NEEDED as if you have the original, you have everything you need. But I can see having a front insert and back insert in English just for kicks.
This is exactly why one would want a cover - for CD mods people usually want some sort of case made up just for the CD so they can stick it on the shelf and have it look pretty.  If someone doesn't step up to make some artwork, I'll probably make it...

Center podium is now painted and added a variety of NEC console controllers as set dressing.  Controllers were taken apart to remove the cables.

As soon as I get to lighting the set, I'll for sure post up info about it.  The current plan is to light the overall set with two huge 48" Photoflex SilverDome softboxes with 800w Lowel Tota lights.  I'll have spot accent lighting on the background games as well as other areas where I will have set decorations.

Speaking of the wife, mine is coming back tonight form GDC and I want her to host the show with me so we'll see how that goes (after the surprise that I turned one of our bedrooms into a studio haha).
#527
Thanks Sensei!  You really don't need too much space...like I said, this is just in a regular bedroom (but granted you must have a bedroom to spare :)  The set is coming together fast - I plan on hanging NEC related stuff on the back wall, and also decorate the podium with PCE control pads.  I'll also have a small HDTV on the podium as well....then comes the fun part of properly lighting all of it...can't wait!

Yes, the forum is viewable to guests.  I'll only cut that off if I have to.

Set pieces coming together - added center podium (pending a paint job), background display units with various PC-FX and PC Engine/TurboGrafx games and accessories added.  Divider screens also hung.

Welcome to the Fighting Street area of the pcengine-fx.com forums.  Here you are encouraged to have heated debates, rants, raves, or whatever else you may have on your mind.

Rules:
#1: No porn or links to illegal materials (warez/ISOs/ROMs/etc/torrents/etc) (Posting of said materials can get me in trouble with my web host so I'd appreciate it if these items remain off of the forums.).

Pending Amendments :

#2: You agreed to a TOS upon forum registration, that is not suspended here, you are still bound by ALL of it!

#3: Veteran 50-post minimum requirement, this addresses _JoshuaTurboTrollX-16/Nintega/Nulltard sock/troll puppets, NeoGeo drama-only harassers, saboteurs, etc. If you're caught with 1-2 or more alt troll accounts for ban evasion, to create false appearances of support to troll a target or whatever other manipulative purpose, they'll either be deleted or merged with your main account and you'll be banned!

#4: Ban decisions are the domain of PCEFX staff! Friends tend to shill/defend friends no matter how bad their behavior... Fighting Street will not serve as your rallying point to harass, troll staff members, to lie about incidents or intimidate regarding moderating/ban decisions to get your friend unbanned, etc.!

#5: This is NOT 4chan, you will NOT be allowed to bring your 4chan-mentality in here! Doxxing intimidation/blackmail techniques, workarounds like weasel-hijacking to escape from full responsibility, etc. will be dealt with severely!!! So doxxing, death or assault threats are prohibited (which falls under the registration TOS)!

#6: Alt PC Engine forum admins and their allies won't again turn this board into a harassing spamathon to organize the sabotage goal of harvesting membership for their PC Engine forums... This was an no-brainer abuse that violated the spirit and purpose of Fighting Street even before it was explicitly stated as a rule, but bitter saboteurs did it anyway!

#7: This is connected to #6, previous civil war participants that tried to destroy, sabotage this forum, but are still floating around or who have registered again, will not have regular Fighting Street privileges (AKA revoked), normal modding applies...

#8: The target of your trolling need not participate, you're NOT owed a reply, ever, but if you engage in hound harassment whereby you stalk/follow your target outside of Fighting Street to normal threads to harass/cyberbully him/her there to force a reply, your FS privileges will be revoked, regular modding applies, related threads or posts will be deleted! This also applies if you're caught trying to instigate/incite/lobby external PCE groups/chatboxes (on Facebook, discord, etc.) to bring more drama/harassment/trolling/sabotage here! This addresses prominent cyberbullies Arkhan, Necromancer, _Joshua (again), Darkkobold, etc. What happens in Fighting Street STAYS in Fighting Street!

<PENDING>

Fighting Street will remain Read-Only for the foreseeable future until a time when the forum regains regular posting activity with new members going forward, etc. It's not a helpful concept in principle to help regrow/rebuild/regain new members, having a drama section for psychotic, worse-than-Nintega saboteur dramaqueens to divide people, try to export them to their own or approved of PCE forums, so first things first...
#532
I'm just going to make it easy and do what they do on the Neo-Geo.com forums - no posting of nude photos (that's it).  I figure people can bat it out there so that it doesn't get put into the regular sections of the site...we'll see how it goes.  It will also only be visible to logged in users.

Oh and I changed the search feature of the site to be available to registered users only.
#533
Looks smaller than it really is, but this room will be turned into a live shooting set. First step is to cover the wall with a black muslin backdrop, and then get rid of the wrinkles with a steamer (shown at the bottom of the frame).

QuoteSince our stance of ignoring him (as a site) doesn't seem to be the right one, what do you suggest we do for the users here?  Should I make a child-forum just for Nintega that people can post in?

How about a room called "Battle Heat" after the FX game?  There, people can freely vent/complain/flame/inform people of anything they wish without moderation.

There's no need to wait, as that's what we've been getting from day one.  No other gaming videos surpass the production quality and great content found in every episode of PCEFX TV.
I do want to give props to those on YouTube that are doing Turbo reviews - there are some great ones online that I've seen.  With PcenginefxTV, I want to give people content in a different way from everybody else so that's why I'm totally revamping the show for this next episode.

Lemme guess lemme guess.... it'll be in HD!

By the way, do you edit in native HDV or do you transcode to another format for editing?
Well, HD is a given - but I'm talking about doing a "live show" setup where I'll be filming in front of a NEC themed set with a teleprompter and at least 3 cameras :)  And yep, HDV 1080i is my native editing workflow right now.  I'd love to upgrade to the Sony XDCAM line of cameras but just not a good time to spend that kind of cash right now.

After that, he left without trying to even talk with it over with me.  Guess he didn't need much to push him over the edge to close his account.
#539
Quote from: Sinistron on 03/23/2009, 04:25 PMIt's HOW he kept coming back that was the problem- if it was contained only YT comments and one star ratings from numerous multiple accounts- then sure- I could deal with those as they come.  What is infinitely more annoying is the numerous fake accounts imitating us, the lies, the lies he spreads to subs asking them to spread it in return, etc.  It is an attempted assassination of character- and at times I have messaged some of his subs that he asks to get involved and have provided them with proof that Nin is lying about everything.  That so far HAS proven more effective than just sitting there doing nothing.  Nin cherishes his YT subs more than anything since he lacks real friends in the outside world- if you make that base dubious of his credibility- and repeatedly EMBARASS him in this manner- then you are both defending and spreading truth aggressively.  These are the tactics that have been slowing him down- as opposed to the speed of his attacks when I sat there doing nothing.
I didn't know that he was going to these great lengths to tarnish people and I apologize for not knowing all of the facts.  I admit that I don't keep up with all of the talk here (or the drama on youtube & other sites which I have absolutely no interest in) but I'd defend my name just the same if someone was spreading lies about me.  I just hate the fact that the entire situation is so highschool-ish and that there are people out there that haven't grown up.

Quote from: Sinistron on 03/23/2009, 04:25 PMI DO understand that you don't want to hear much of it anymore- and you haven't- not from us- unless you listen in on shout- which I take as being fair game.  Again however- this thread here is for links for what you've been watching on youtube- a link was provided and no blurb was added- nothing saying SEE NIN GET HIS or anything.  The only attention is provided in discussion- and that discussion was instigated by Joe Redifer.  After he caused an issue of it- the thread again returned to normal- and then you came in- pretty much doing what Joe did all over again.  The name Nintega has not been trumpeted by us in any recent threads- and in the discussion with Joe here we did not say "Screw you Joe- we will shout his name to the rafters in threads" defiantly.  We responded to a discussion that he brought up- where he- like you- talked to us like we were children who never figured out that you can just ignore someone.  The retorts from you and Joe were baseless.  It would be your strength to admit so.
(Yes, the shoutbox is fair game in case anyone has any questions about that.)

As far as the thread goes Michael posted a video by Nintega on post #2481 (which I have no idea what it is now since the video was removed due to terms of use violation) and mentioned that it was from Nin (not by name, but it was Nin).  Joe felt it was not necessary to bring him up and told Michael to "let him go".  Now yes, since I (and I assume Joe) are not being directly harassed by Nin, we responded with the basis that ignoring him is the best practice and that we'd like to see this practice done on the forum.  It was not meant to sound like we were talking down to either of you, but a course of action to be taken.

Since our stance of ignoring him (as a site) doesn't seem to be the right one, what do you suggest we do for the users here?  Should I make a child-forum just for Nintega that people can post in? (I'm being serious here).  I want to know what I can do to better support the members here so I'm open to any and all suggestions.
#540
Welp, Michael is gone. He was fed up with me and deleted his account which I approved.
#541
Just for the record, here is my stance on Nintega:

- He will not be allowed on this forum ever again
- I am not "friends" with him no matter what anyone may read on youtube or any other site for that matter
- I may have had a "shoot and destroy" policy with him at one point but really...what is the point?  He keeps coming back in one way or another and a "shoot and destroy" policy just keeps feeding him.  So I am ignoring him best I can.

I'm not the bad guy here folks...I don't claim to be an expert on him...I'm just trying to help out here.  You've tried ignoring him and it didn't work..well what didn't work exactly?  Did he keep coming back?  If so, keep ignoring him.  Clean up the youtube comments, tag him as spam and move on.  Responding to him won't shut him up, so why spend time doing so?

As for Michael, I have approved your account deletion.  Sorry to see you go.

Thread will remain open.

Welcome to the official production thread for PcenginefxTV episode 8.  This next episode in the PcenginefxTV series will be receiving a complete overhaul with the construction of a PcenginefxTV shooting studio, guest reviewers and more.  Keep coming back to view how the show will be coming together!

UPDATE 2009.03.23
Big plans are in the works to make episode 8 the best episode yet, and the first step is to up the production values of the show. As with anything I do, I strive to make things bigger and better and to differentiate PcenginefxTV from the rest of the vBloggers out there, I will be building my own little NEC themed shooting studio for live-broadcast-style recording (no more will you just see some direct-feed video with voiceover for the entire time!)  NEC fans deserve the best, and that's what you will get with PcenginefxTV...more to come!  - Aaron
#543
Quote from: Joe Redifer on 03/17/2009, 09:08 PMWell, take it out on Youtube or other forums or whatever.  The more you respond to him, the more he will try to antagonize you because he KNOWS you are listening.  He KNOWS that you care very much for what he says (and you clearly do).  You are his greatest audience... a guaranteed audience that will watch everything he does with intense attention to detail.

Anyway, let's not mention him here again unless it is relevant to this site (such as if he creates a new account, etc).
Please follow Joe's suggestion on this issue.  He keeps feeding off of members responding to him and the best way to get rid of him is to ignore him.  I don't want to hear about his YouTube updates if it isn't directly related to pcengine-fx.com like Joe said.  If you have a personal issue with him, please take it outside of the Pcenginefx forums.

I highly recommend http://www.spacevidcast.com/ - it is run by two space enthusiasts who totally interact with you during the show answering questions that you can post in the real-time chat room.  The video they were showing had 3 streams (one of NASA TV, one of themselves and another window showing off other videos they wanted to display) plus a countdown timeclock.  It was totally fun to hear them answer any questions I had plus answer other people's questions as well.  They aren't connected with any space agency and are just two ordinary space enthusiasts making Space a community event.
