Title: Interesting Find
Post by: nonjagged on June 17, 2003, 09:56:20 AM: While in Japan recently, I got the rare chance to interview some Japanese gamers (known as the most hardcore gaming market) and heres what some of them had to say about M$ jumping ship and copying the more cost-effective Nintendo by going with ATI instead of Nvidia for their next console.

(I say rare chance because no Japanese gamers are interested in talking about the Xbox platform, period).

Bablefish Translation:
I couldnt care lesser if M$ had a built-in dishwasher in the next-gen verzion of their set-top-box for when your watching DVD movies, just as long as the unit can fit through our apartment doors without us having a fit, for us to be able to favorably consider purchazing one of those Fboxes.

GPU does not worry me because Xb0x controlla is made for Americ0n basketball player not Japanese gamer and I refuze to have to purchase an xtra controlla suitable for my small size. Waivebird is much more comfortable and convenient.

What is an Xbox?

Also if anyone else has had the rare opportunity to interview Japanese gamers please enter your [font color=white]comedy[/font color] responses below.

You know what the best thing about the gaming industry is? When corporations give you the opportunity to shoot them down when they make aggressive or idiotic statements most likely against Nintendo for some reason.

Post by: Infernal Monkey on June 17, 2003, 01:33:37 PM: Yeah, I went to Japan this morning and pulled some hardcore gamers out of their kawaii mega super fun happy time Hello Kitty photo booths. And by hardcore gamers, I mean extremely cute school girls.

Me: So, how you doin'?

Reply: *ãƒ“ã‚¸ãƒ¼!*

TRANSLATION: *SLAP!*

Me: Awww, erm, oh yeah! What do you think of Microsoft's Xbox? Interested in that N.U.D.E game? How about DOAX? *raises eyebrow*

Reply: *ã‚¹ã‚«ã‚¹*

TRANSLATION: *kick in groin sound effect goes here*

And with my interview done, and a swollen groin, I headed to a bookstore and bought some pervert manga and a large Coke.
Then, I had a good chat with the clerk.

Me: So.... You got an Xbox mate?

ãƒ“ã‚¸ãƒ¼ãƒˆ ãƒãƒã‚¹ã‚«ã‚¹

TRANSLATION: Sex-box? No, only hentai!

Walking out, I noticed a pretty big gaming store. The manager was throwing factory sealed Xboxes out the back door into the dumpster. I approached.

Me: Hey dude man. What's doin' your side of town? What'cha doin' with all these?

Reply: ãƒ“ã‚¸ãƒ¼ãƒˆ ãƒãƒã‚¹ã‚«ã‚¹ã‚¿ãƒž ã‚µãƒãƒ¼ãƒˆ
ãƒ“ã‚¸ãƒ¼ãƒˆ ãƒãƒã‚¹ã‚«ã‚¹

TRANSLATION: They sell worse than Wonderswan B&W! HERE, TAKE ONE!

Me: Nah dude, it'd exceed the weight limit on the plane. Sorry.

THE END!

The forum displays Shift-JIS-encoded Japanese, and should display any other language regardless of encoding.

The post definitely isn't Japanese, at least not coherent Japanese. Given the patterns in characters i'd say that it's just a word or short phrase copied and pasted repeatedly. But i stopped caring after i realized it wasn't Japanese.

If anything, it's a slam against Xbox.

I think that Aoi Tsuki is correct though.

nonjagged didn't really go to Japan and interview people! That is most certainly not Japanese! It's looped! THIS THREAD IS NOT SERIOUS!
