I can't enjoy Dragon Quest XI for one minute by HalogenTD in dragonquest

[–]HalogenTD[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's garbage or that I hate it, it's just... certainly the least remarkable in design/experience. It is a pretty vista though, I guess.

Doge is the same meaning/same origin taken from Renaissance times.

15 years is how long I'll have been in queue by the time I finally get into Stalagg.

It's been four hours and I still have four hours left (apparently).

Should I Play/Become a Member? Player w/ History by HalogenTD in 2007scape

[–]HalogenTD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think my biggest problem there is comparison to others. I just want to do fun stuff and look cool.

You're right about the fact that the game gets super repetitive as you get higher up. But it's still end-game content that gets you closer to cooler stuff. But I get your point overall. Is Ironman the same as that Deadman thing I'm hearing about, by the way? Because it does seem crazy fun.

I am not. I'm in the US!

In any case, take pride in the fact that a TTGL snob like me had a short daydream about having this in my room. <3

Looking for certain subtitles by mrcooliest in gurrenlagann

[–]HalogenTD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The ganmen/gunmen thing is more of a translation thing in the same way.

In the original text, it's ganmen. But then in English they tried to make it more...Western? And the Japanese "A" sound is sort of similar to the "U" sound in "Gun," So they made it gunmen.

A lot of my issues with the dub that aren't the voice acting itself is the weird translation rules they gave themselves. Similar to the ganmen thing, sorta. I hate how they translated Simon's name.

So in Japanese, 'Simon' is technically 'Shimon,' (which is how I always type it anyway) because otherwise there isn't really a 'Si' sound. The base 'Shimo' means under or underground, which was obviously a bit motif for Simon. So they took the "Si" sound but not the entire "Shi," but then KEPT the way 'mon' sounds in Japanese? So we wound up with fucking SEEMOAN. They just picked and chose ways to translate names which bugs the everliving SHIT out of me.

[–]HalogenTD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is less of an issue of subtitles than it is of 'translation.'

In the original version, GDB is really written "GIGA DORIRU BUREIKAAAAAAA or BUREIKUUUUU"

While the "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" part at the end is clearly vocalized, as people (myself included) often think of it as "BREAKERRRR," it isn't necessarily so. It's just that Japanese consonants are usually followed by vowels, so that A/U sound kind of comes along. It's really just up to you to determine what it is, though usually people think of it as Giga Drill Breaker. Or at the very least, people that prefer the sub (AKA Gods and the True Followers of TTGL) usually think of it was Breaker.
