Oh…oh man… What did we do last night?

Did…did we launch a game? I can barely remember a thing… I’m pretty sure it was called “BlazBlue”, or…something like that. But man was it pretty–I’m talking damn fine. Then we started doing Distortion Drives, and there was this guy making T-Rex noises, and then after that…after that I don’t remember a thing.

I’m about 90% sure this isn’t my house or my bed, and I don’t have the first idea where this podcast came from but, uh, I gotta split, so I’m gonna give it to you, alright? It smells okay, so I think it’s still good.

    I’m terribly sorry, but I still had a few localization problems. The pressure is understandable, but I could’ve waited another month or so for a better translation. For example, a few sentences make no sense (Ragna says to Taokaka “winner buys lunch”, but when he wins, Taokaka is paying, so it should have been “loser buys lunch” or “winner is treated to lunch”), a few phrases sounded different from Japanese to English, and Jin is probably my biggest peeve when it came to English voice acting; he didn’t sound as “insane” as he should have.

    All in all though, you did REALLY well for being near simultaneous like that.

    Oh, also, what are your plans for Guilty Gear/BlazBlue music on Guitar Hero/Rock Band? You know you want to play Blood Pain on a plastic band kit.

    @VioletWitch:

    This. Just think how much more popular GG/BB will be if their music’s on GH/RB.

    If GG and BB get their own GH/RB I want Quiet Riot’s “your mother is a classy lady on Feel the Noize” played during the credits on the next game, dammit!
    Very interesting self evaluation. I’m really glad you not only took a look at what worked, but also what you could really improve on. Sometimes I wonder how many game companies even bother to do that (communication is the obvious flaw other have, but you guys nailed it). BB is definitely Aksys’ defining moment, but there will be more, and you’ll be on the top of your game this time since know you know what to do.
    And, you always got Aaron to blame it on when your mother is a classy lady really hits the fan!

    Well, thanks to Aarons grubby hands I have what is the greatest 2D-fighter. You guys should have an event where we get to play those responsible for getting us this beauty of a game. Like online for both consoles, that would be awesome. Although the only thing that went wrong for me was, I never got my mana potion from GameCrazy. Oh well,
