It's a pity to lose one of my favourite running
gags, but it had to happen sometime - the
Puchi Carat
shrine has finally gotten updated! There's newly translated information for
each of the characters, a lot more research into the game pages, plus a big dumb
wiki-like glossary page that involved less writing and more deciphering
pixelated place names.
This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't suddenly gotten two or three very nice
emails about the shrine near the end of August; it tickles me knowing the game
means a lot to folks out there, and that my dumb ol' coverage of the site meant
something to them. So I thought, dang it, let's put my back into it again and
get something done! To the Puchi Carat fans out there, thank you for your
patience, hugs and kisses for your kind emails, and hopefully the update has
been worth the wait. (and if not, shoot me an email or
tweet me and tell me what it needs -
feedback makes it all worthwhile!)
Mind you, since I've been living and breathing that game for weeks on end I can't even tell what I've added to the site. I keep thinking to myself, "is that it? Is that all I've done? Wasn't there more?" I probably remember the late nights more than what I did during them. Don't make a website, kids.
The next four episodes of F-Zero: The Legend of Falcon are up! Because I'm a sucker for schedules (and stressing over deadlines) there'll be three to four new episodes every Wednesday and Sunday. If I find the time I'd love to write some thoughts on the series, but since I'm still in the middle of writing and editing the coverage that might be a little impractical. We'll see what happens!
Would you believe it if I told you Random Action
Hour finally saw a new update with brand new coverage?
(if you said no then hoo boy i hear ya, i forgot how badly
written a lot of that site is. i literally have no idea how anyone understood my
transformers season 4 write-ups)
Yeah, it's true! It's just a teaser for now, but I've got the
first episode
of
F-Zero: The Legend of Falcon (or Falcon Densetsu
to folks in the Nippon zone) up for reading. It's a bit of a tease, I'm
afraid - I've already got half the episodes written up, but I want to hold on
until I've got more of a backlog, and also time to proofread and tweak things.
It's a little embarrassing when I've watched the whole series and still don't
know some characters' names - I wanna be thorough, man!
