sense of exploration, discovery of culture, freedom and the sense of escapism to another reality it gives

So should it then be looked over by someone who natively speaks the language it's being translated into?
depends what it is really, if it's a formal document then no need if the translator is fluent, if it's like a play or something that involves dialects then yes so the native speaker can make small changes for it to be more authentic

in my experience it's best to have a native speaker translate in to a language he is fluent in, that way he can recognise slang or certain dialects in his own language while translating them in to a more formal wording in the language that he learned

Whos William Ren and Naoyuki Ito? Both have Shenmue pics so I'm guessing its a fan page trying to get anyone who likes the dojo to join them?
naoyuki ito is a profile that promotes the shenmue 3 campaign groups, it's also a shenmue persona, I don't know about "william ren" but there is a "wuying ren" which does the same

Cant be the only one who still reads the topic now and then for a good laugh?

100 pages, 1500 posts, that's a lot of hype...
I'm actually surprised some on here didn't kill themselves or someone else.
never seen most people in that topic, so you never know

this, I was really looking forward to exploring the shenmue universe online, it seemed massive as well

are you an alien?
if yes, is that why your English is so bad?
does the government have IELT's training courses for aliens?

free qwerty sigs?

I convinced a minecraft player to go in to 3d modelling before, why settle for shitty pixelated blocks when you can have limitless options with a modelling program instead? well that has always been my reason to not play it

are there no social aid plans in portugal? the gov should normally be able to give you a monthly pay to get you through hard times, something that covers rent and food

anyway I can send you a laptop that doesn't have a hard drive and a functioning but problematic psp (the screen has blue lines on them, this is repairable unfortunately I don't know how, they go away when you apply pressure to the borders of the screens, also the batterie doesn't work so to play it you need to always have it plugged in)

unfortunately I can't make any promises though as these are in London and I'm in the UAE but I lost my passport so I might have to go back to London soon, if I do then I will send you them though if the police have found my passport then sorry but I won't be going back anytime soon

Wow, you were quick!
:lol: yeah I don't really take time to think before replying to something

in fact pm me you address and I will ask my godfather to send you the laptop as it's at his, it's a HP with 2gb ram and maybe 1.6 processor or 1.8 can't remember, anyway it's enough to do most things including playing pre 2005 games and can run nulldc perfectly, I played through both shenmues on it with only a few slowdowns

great then, it works perfectly fine when running from a HDD though so don't worry about that, let me know you address and I'll send it then

happy birthday ya big grey freak, hope you're enjoying it on our grey isles if you're still about?

the sega forums sure do have a lot of annoying weaboos...

Is there a true definition of weaboos?
it's to define people who are obsessed with Japanese subculture to the point where it's near sexual (or is most of the time no matter how much they say there's nothing perverted about watching 10 year old girls dressed like hookers it's kawai) , though nowadays people will label you as a weaboo if you like anything Japanese

on a forum it's usually someone with a sexualised or kawai anime character as a profile pic and is incredibly annoying and obnoxious, they also like to boast about how much Japan is superior to America, Dorian was a bit of a weaboo

the amount of classics the DC had for its short lifespan is pretty impressive, sega really went all out with it

more side stories, the only thing I find missing from shenmue is that it doesn't have enough substories to fill its huge bustling world, it's a great thing that you voiced every character and made hundreds of shops yu but it would be great if these served more than "sorry, I'm busy right now"

I like this, if true it seems amongst all the chaos sony stopped, took a deep breath and looked back on its successful days while incorporating what made the wii so successful, an affordable platform for both developers and consumers which offers enough possibilities to be enjoyable while it also has enough limitations to avoid developers to be expected to go over the top in everything

I think the problem with us shenmue fans is that shenmue taught us honesty and fair play while the others are probably just multi voting damn Iwao and his life lessons

Wow, they removed a lot of cool characters for Pudding and Danica Patrick. didn't know Billy hatcher was out as well as Jacky/Akira.
typical sega thing to do, nowadays whenever I hear them doing something stupid like that their theme always plays in my head as if anything that stupid is trademarked by them

meh you can stay at mine, skyscraper apartment with gym and swimming pool, better than any hotel you can find around here that don't cost hundreds a night
That's a serious offer to someone over the internet :lol:
I see nothing wrong with it, it's like couch surfing, and I grew up in the hood surrounded by the psychos so if you turn out to be one I'll just kick you out somewhere in the desert :P

I always found the stiffness of ryo something that made the game more immersive and closer to reality

lol this will never work, you can pass as many laws as you want they mean nothing if the police don't care enough to enforce them and the people don't care to respect them

sounds like a good Idea, if you've got the cd printer already why don't you print peoples mixtapes and albums and shit already? I could give your card to a few people in London so if you do good prices you could earn enough to get the rest of your business running, and don't worry about benefits fraud, as long as it's cash in hand then you'll be fine

Finally in london, damn that flight was painful

Try and not run into one of these while yer there
apparently Kangaroos are pretty violent creatures, though it's not surprising for something that lives in the land of fire tornado's and everything everywhere can and wants to kill you

when shenmue hd get announced we should have a timer counting down until the release date

It could be cool, but they've already kind of ruled it out (as far as short-term plans go, at least). They've said the three main suggestions they get from fans are ancient Egypt, Japan, or a WWII setting. And they've said that none of those interest them.
In regards to Egypt specifically though, I think it's wise of them to pass on it for now. It's maybe a little too close in style to Prince of Persia, which was the AC studio's prior series of note. And besides that, it might be hard to justify Egypt from a story perspective, since the actual Assassins Brotherhood wasn't formed until the ten or eleven hundreds, well after any point where Egypt might seem relavent. Going back any further than that might start sending the series down the road of retcons, which is pretty undesirable.
I remember seeing chinese letters in the revelations I think in AC2, I think a setting during the opium wars would be interesting

Here's one. Probably not unpopular in the US. So you want the government to pay for your healthcare, fine. Just find the revenue to do so. I know of an untapped source of revenue. How about we charge these freeloading countries who depend on our security and our armed forces for our services? South Korea has depended on our military to protect their borders for over 50 years. It I was president i would walk right into their parliament or whatever they got there and say to them that if they enjoy not having a million North Korean troops cross your border and have to answer to Kim Jung Un you fuckers are gonna pay for our services. Their army is a joke because they suck on the teet of the good ol' USA. Thats just one example. Watch the documentary ' a world without US'. Its on Netflix. Japan, Germany, Taiwan, Afganistan, Iraq if they dont start paying up, syonara suckers.
and then everyone kicks Americans out of their countries and America loses a great amount global influence and can't keep an eye on the many enemies it has made in the past century? wait you're right, that's a brilliant Idea :lol:

i'm sorry but man power generally isn't the deciding factor in war, especially modern warfare... the NK military is so backward and stuck in the early cold war japan was worried their nuclear missile tests would misfire and hit them.

also i can't watch the documentary because i don't have netflix
not to mention their soldiers are malnourished poorly equipped dwarfs, the had to abandon the minimum hight due to the famine fucking up the growth of so many people

oh and @jeff it's not just 40k men, in SK military service is compulsory so in event of a war against the north they have the entire adult male population trained for war
