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

"free game is not Dragon Ball, random pick"

First: it's not free. You pay. A LOT. The game may not be seperate, but you ******** pay!! "Free" should not be part of that sentence!

Second: Why the hell does it say "random pick"? It should say Sapphire (original version) x2!!

That seller sucks.

Edit: Had to send him a message. Pretty much the same as the what I just wrote.

Does he not bother to search ebay at all and see the same product on sale for 1/8th the price. This guy is either a crook, a moron, or has no idea of the value of the object he's trying to sell. Personally I think its a blend of being a crook and being a fruit of the stupid tree.

The rest of the items in his store aren't that outrageously priced.

But the real question is: what the fuck does "96% new" mean? 4% of the console is old? Which 4%? That could be a deal breaker.

I was poking around the PC Engine section of his store. Check out this relic:

Look at the picture. Look at it closely. Study it. First of all, what the hell is it? I've never seen a 'Tap like this before.

Next, check out the part where he talks about the condition. This thing is 85% NEW!!!! "Very good condition"!!! Jesus, I'd hate to see one of his 100% old items.

Some asian sellers use % to score the overall condition out of 100. 100 meaning new and 1 meaning utter garbage. "96% new" would mean mint condition, but technically imperfect.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

I figured that 96% new probably meant that the screws, AV cable and maybe the TurboChip™ door had perhaps all been used.

That's why the Duo-R costs a grand.  It has a TC door and not a PCE Hu door.

That Freaking 3-way tap looks like it was used in an old Timex slapshot commercial or used in a garbage disposal dyno test.

At only $9.99 part of me is sorely tempted just to buy that tap just so I can get a look at it :-) I mean it's beyond the level of messed I've ever seen on a PC-E tap. I've seen a few models but none look like that one. Is it just a really messed up tap or is it some yet as of unheard of "Bonk Stone" Model.

I'll contribute $10 towards the beauty.  I may take it to a jeweler and have them turn it into a necklace or something, a la Flava-Flave.  j/k

We could turn this thing into a kind of "My week with the Hard Stone Tap."  Different forum members have it for a week and post pics with it.  Then mail it to another member.  It's like taking care of the classroom hamster in 4th grade.

This may be funny only to me, and would require people to run to the post office, but I'm chuckling thinking about it.

It will talk, and when it talks, it will have a Sean Connery accent.  It's going to be one suave mofo.  He's going to have to be really smooth, cause he ain't gunna get things done on looks.
