In dedication of XXXSEED Games and the WyrdWad KKK Witch era, we present Jeff "DeuceBag" Nussbaum in his own words:

Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd say Psycho Jeff is involving/attacking innocent families of neo-geo.com fans he wants to watch die AND help murder/kill [painfully]!! And I for one did *Nazi* see that coming! Remember how a defining part of the WyrdWad era (Tom-chan Lipschultz) was equating targets to Hitler/Nazis ? Isn't this rant by Jeff/Deuce a Nazi eugenicist speech ? The "superior" fat, bald, cocky cock-flasher says numerous people AND their offspring need to be exterminated/murdered for being inferior, who represent a "pollution" of the human gene pool... Sure sounds like a Nazi rant, am I wrong XSEED fans/shills ?? Looking at you, DigitalEmelas! I mean, if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, ya know ?? But what do I know right ? Everybody's ignoring it and other XSEED embarrassments... This vile psycho SOB got a pass for just about anything awful and toxic that he ever said/did, meanwhile my alleged "sins" can NEVER be forgiven according to him/Tom... Worse, NIS America keeps on letting him poison the Ys series with his mere disgusting presence and questionable WWWJDIC-assisted translations which was so disheartening (professionals losing Ys loc work to HIM)!

This type of homicidal outburst by the "severely misanthropic, extremely arrogant, self-involved asshole" (100% HIS own words!) wasn't the first either: when one of his bosses fired him (shock!), he not only wanted him dead but implied his kids must be as horribly ugly as he is! He didn't think anyone would read his blog, but like omgfloofy says, "Know your translator..." I was also added to his kill-list when I trolled him on Kotaku's KKK Witches article (he wants me to die by an acid bath and/or brain disease, that's right, he blew me a "death kiss")... Another funny anecdote: while there are ambulance-chasers, Bankruptcy Jeff falls under the rare ambulance-crasher category, haha! Imagine being condemned, defamed, lied about by a complete psychotic mess of a manchild after massively cheating you who turns out was deflecting from deep mental problems & his own PR liabilities! This disgusting, unhinged, hypocritical, bigoted bastard showing up from neo-geo.com in my Ys forums/projects to get up on his high horse to smear me as an extraordinary "embarrassment" while he was pulling his pants down to snap photos for neo-geo.com AND even devolving into genocidal outbursts had A LOT of fucking nerve! BURN IN HELL PSYCHO!!!!! FUCKING GUY IS ABSURD!!!

Jeff and Tom are so arrogant/confident (you've seen it!) about their self-serving criminal views on localization partnerships and commercial selling AFTER you've taken THOUSANDS of work hours from fan co-workers on a project created under FAN TERMS (BY FANS, FOR FANS, NOT COMPANIES!), but WHY didn't they disclose such "views" from the very FIRST project ? Why after 5 projects/5 years ?? Didn't your partners have a fucking right to know something THAT serious/important ?? I'll tell you why: Because they would've been BANNED on sight! NOBODY would accept such terms, not me, not GideonZhi, not ANYONE; everyone would tell you to go fuck yourself, find another chump to work for free for you, so by failing to disclose them they operated under deception & that's a scam! Begging for free work hours from likeminded Falcom fans so you can build up a finished localization portfolio of up to 5 games/scripts, then commercially selling them in secret collusion almost all at once IS A SCAM! THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT THEY DID! 2 cocky/cunty localization scammers in the industry and 1 shitty company that got away with it! I didn't even wanna work on Ys Origin, I was gonna delete my site, but Jeff came to me crying, telling me "Please don't take the Ys series away from me, it's the only thing I'm proud of in my life..." Of course, he was *proud* to take it from *me* helping WyrdWad continue his obsessed sabotage/proxy-harassment/incitement efforts over the years! The psycho is not gonna tell you about that now NOR his 40%/60% royalty split demands which he was adamant on if I proceeded with a payware idea (which he cancelled after the $550 payment and for me being too slow as 2 years elapsed! So, he could still play the hero in the end!), and people see how he talks about me nowadays... He then proceeded to guilt me by telling me about his suicide-attempt, his meds, and being crippled from a knee injury, etc... His opening offer to persuade me to start work on Ys Origin was a payment (when he could) but I declined feeling that was unfair (stupid me!) and that I technically owed him a share of money from publishing the Felghana patch. I never did anything but support and help him across 8 years, even finally paying him ($550), in return he cheated me from a 1-in-a-billion opportunity, and demonized my name ever since to score points/pander, justify these later double-cross actions!!! WHO/WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GUY ??? DID THIS REALLY HAPPEN ??

Below are some random AIM text messages between Jeff and myself of how he conned me into working on Ys Origin for free. I've been meaning to dump our chat collobaration logs because no one will ever see it otherwise and it'd be lost to the sands of time. There are maybe 1-3 decades of me left paying for this website, once it expires my Ys legacy will be erased by him & Tom-chan as 100, 200, etc years from now and forever anytime someone finds an XSEED PC build of Ys I&II, Felghana, and Ys Orgin, they and their friends will be seen credited, but not me... And that's EXACTLY what these nasty e-thugs wanted: to erase me from my own Falcom/Ys legacy that I worked so hard to accomplish and derive sadistic satisfaction from it!!!!! Don't believe me ? In one of the pathetic emails with Tom, he said to me, "You will NEVER be credited in our games. You were just a Japanese text delivery boy! You delivered text from point A to point B!"
FUCK YOU TO HELL ASSHOLES!!!!!!


Context: I guess I should share this as actual proof the motherfucker was lobbying me hard to begin the Ys Origin localization project and that I was part of it (something him, Tom-chan, XSEED effectively deny) ?? There's only one other place where the SOB actually publicly credited me, a romhacking.net post (I saved it in WayBack in case more evidence gets deleted - e.g. Psycho [Evil] Wasabi, a former neo-geo.com rogue mod deleted Jeff's homicidal Nazi rant to protect him, it only exists in WayBack now... When he targeted me, he then deleted ALL 3 threads I found and linked there, also about Jeff's cock-flashing! Lucky for WayBack though!).

RomHacking.net - March 29, 2007, 01:38:26 PM
  • Ys I & II (PC) with Nightwolve
  • Ys III (Famicom) with Kitsune Sniper
  • Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys (PC Engine) with Nightwolve
  • Ys: The Oath in Felghana (PC) with Nightwolve. 95% beta leaked to the public (), but the proper finished product is on the way.
  • Ys Origin (PC) WIP with NW. Nightwolve's done all of the work needed for me to handle this one almost completely on my own. Roughly 66% complete, because I don't like Yunica and I'm having difficulty getting up the motivation to work on her script."
  • Side note: Yup, I think that's the ONLY public credit I'll ever receive for my Ys Origin work by him! Incredible, isn't it ?? As if I'm asking "too much..." but psycho gonna psycho... Session Start (Sef1roth:DeuceMUGEN): Mon Jan 29 19:29:37 2007 Deuce: And Ys Origin will be done MUCH more readily. I want to have it done and close to ready by July. Deuce: If not sooner. NightWolve: That's certainly ambitious. Deuce: Blow these motherfuckers off the face of the world. Deuce: My Ys obsession is in very full swing, my friend. NightWolve: How is this possible? NightWolve: Job, a gang of kids now... hehe Deuce: Eh? NightWolve: Well, your time. NightWolve: Your situation now was not the situation when you did Ys II or Ys I, back then. Deuce: I know. But work is also VERY slow lately, due to a sluggish housing market. NightWolve: It defies logic that you'd have the time for this. Let alone motivation. Deuce: How it will be done. [Step 1] Get me the script dumper for Origin with CRCs. [Step 2] I cheat-dash through the game, will translate each storyline in turn, then spend the time putting those translations into the game, already context-edited and ready for final inclusion. Show me how to edit the DDS files and I will do them as rapidly as I can. (STEP 3: THEN, when finished, I secretly sell out to XSEED Games! I'll pocket 100% payment/100% credit, make damn sure you get PRECISELY NOTHING as an added bonus! How do you like THAT plan, Nick ?? All good?? OK, get to work! I'M ALTERING THE DEAL... PRAY I DON'T ALTER IT FURTHER...)
    Session Start: Wed Jan 31 22:16:57 2007

    (Oh boy, this below sure was a psycho lie! I remember it well, hahaha! He solved the "problem" by becoming the "secret translator" behind my back to WyrdWad Tom's team despite doing right by him in paying the $550 cut he deserved... I help him in his disgusting life, he thanked me for helping him pay rent that month, and all the motherfucker ever did since is virtue-signal and pander to my detractors (like Tom-chan & omgfloofy in Ys forums) to score points, engage in secret collusion to throw me under the bus rather than be upfront/honest about his, "I'm altering the deal... Pray I don't alter it further" change of mind. Well, the motherfucker SURE DID alter the "deal" A LOT further than any of us ever could've imagined, huh ??

    DeuceBag: Well, if you're amenable to the idea, we can keep Origin for ourselves for however long you wish. I still want to see it translated, and if nothing else, if we do the setup we discussed, you can leave it to me to do the translation, and when you play it, you can experience it fresh. Deuce: Without any of the spoilers inherent in the stuff we've done so far. NightWolve: It's quite a bit of work to get that going and my mood isn't ready unfortunately. Deuce: I hear you. Well, no rush. ... Deuce: But yes, that's the sticking point. People act like they're entitled to these games. Deuce: I've told them in the past, "Welcome to capitalism. You vote with your wallet." (Here the psycho motherfucker called us a "team" for the first time!:) Deuce: But at any rate, I should probably get to bed. I will leave you with the following: Deuce: You and I make a damn good team... even in spite of our rather polar ideological differences. I'd hate to see that all get tossed down the drain because of this. NightWolve: haha Deuce: I'm serious. ... NightWolve: I wanted to big bang it with Felghana and ease off a bit, find a job, and see how I can do this on weekends. NightWolve: It keeps trapping me in. Deuce: Not this time. I told you, I want to take this [Ys Origin] off your hands inasmuch as I could and let you get things settled like you need to. I want to get a final ready by summer. I've still got the fire. Deuce: More so even than with Oath, I think. NightWolve: I'd like to start getting to the point where I can sort of pull the plug on the thing. NightWolve: Well, alright. I'm going to sleep to actually. Deuce: I'd never be able to do a patch from start to finish without you, but you don't have to do the lion's share anymore. NightWolve: night Deuce: All right man. NightWolve: Yeah. Deuce: Sleep well. NightWolve: cya Deuce: I'll talk to you tomorrow.
    Session Start: Sun Feb 04 21:58:55 2007 Deuce: Give me YsO script-dumper kernel or I breaka you face. NightWolve: heh Deuce: break break' ... Deuce: And I want the YsO script dumper anyway. Now, give me what I want. My birthday's coming up. NightWolve: Yeah, "breaka you" is why I thought it Mario style.

    Context: After the Felghana leak, I informed him I'd shut down my site and quit for several reasons. He started acting REALLY nice for a while, biting his tongue the cunty cocky cock-flasher that he is... It's eye-opening compared to seeing all the hatred now and what he went on to do with Tom-chan and the vile XSEED Games! But that's what you're dealing with in a psycho, he's faking empathy/friendship - just wanted free labor!

    Session Start: Thu Feb 01 19:46:04 2007 Deuce: How are you feeling, dude? NightWolve: hehe NightWolve: I'm still trying to finish up reorganizing my address book in my yahoo account of all my contacts. Deuce: Gotcha. Deuce: Have you cooled down at all? ... Deuce: I don't know if I've ever told you, but I have to take a fair share of medications to stay functional. NightWolve: No, you haven't. What for? DeuceBag: Asperger's, clinical depression and anxiety. DeuceBag: The translation stuff is very important to me. S'one of the few things I'm genuinely proud of. The idea of losing it honestly scares the shit out of me. NightWolve: Hm. Depression? You're sad, to say it bluntly I guess? Deuce: Yeah. I'm on Cymbalta and Wellbutrin. Deuce: A bit of an oversimplification, but yes. Severe bouts of irrational sadness when there's no actual reason. Deuce: Suicide attempt some thirteen years ago. (Losing fan localization work "scares the shit" out of him because I suggested I need to quit AFTER 5 years, delete my site in 12 days, and focus on my offline life... BUT NAH, HIS NEEDS MATTER MORE, I gotta just get right back to work for the psycho motherfucker! IT'LL BE FINE, JUST KEEP WORKING FOR JEFF, "HE'S FEROCIOUSLY LOYAL TO 'FRIENDS' AND EXPECTS THE SAME IN RETURN!") ... Deuce: Ironically, you and I get accused of being self-aggrandizing, but people who release warez stuff are all about the personal glory. Deuce: Get there firstest with the mostest. NightWolve: Yeah. Deuce: Hell, I am a smug, self-aggrandizing, egotistical asshole. I'm not exactly shy about the fact.
    Session Start: Thu Feb 01 19:46:04 2007 Deuce: Are you still willing to do the prelim work and let me take over the reins for Ys Origin? NightWolve: Thinking about it. Deuce: If it comes right down to it, I'm willing to pay you what I can to do it. NightWolve: Nah, s'alright. It's a time and motivation issue. Deuce: I know. Deuce: I don't mean to come off as pushy about it. It's just really important to me, in a way I really don't know how to explain. NightWolve: I have computer time because of winter and low temps at the moment. Only reason. hehe DeuceBag: Makes sense. DeuceBag: You probably think I'm a freak for offering to pay you. :P

    (Years later AFTER the disgusting XSEED deals, the psycho now says, "I owe NightWolve precisely NOTHING!" and persisted in keeping 100% of whatever XSEED money was paid! My my how convenient! Not just because he was ALWAYS full of hatred for me, wants to kill half the country that's republican/Christian and is likely having a meltdown as we speak in witnessing Trump's TOTAL victory (House, Senate, Popular/Electoral Vote) thanks to republicans like his sister which he absolutely despises to the core, but because he's also a broke-ass bankruptcy loser and needs every penny he can find! His offer to pay me for my work/time was yet another fucking lie in a series of lies by a psycho liar! He counted on me refusing/declining the offer as it's obviously unfair, that's all! NOW that he didn't need me for labor any further is when you get the REAL uncensored personality of who the psycho motherfucker was all along, same thing with the pedo-predator embarrassment Tom-chan Lipshcultz!

    Not only that, the 2nd phone call with Ken Berry in 2012 went very well: Ken said he'd see about the crediting and call me back, but when he did, he reported Psycho Jeff was "adamant" he did nothing wrong (as did Tom)!!! Ken reversed-course, Jeff effectively protested/resisted, fought to "conserve" (yes, him and Tom are VERY conservative on this ONE issue!) cheating me out of credits when there was an opportunity to STOP IT!!!!! THAT'S WHO HE AND TOM ARE AND ALWAYS WERE!!!! He pocketed 100% profit/100% credit off MY back, MY research, MY advanced CAT Ys translation software, MY consultation time as you can gleam from these logs and only ever demonized my name to justify it to the world!!!! PURE SCAMMER SCUM!!! AND THEN! When there was a chance to show ANY decency/respect, for me to be fairly credited, to end this peacefully/privately/fairly in 2012, he fucking protested!!!! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO HIM OR TOM ? Did I kill his dog or snake, steal his car, WHAT ??? Also, how do you get your reputation/character/time back after dealing with a Jeff Nussbaum, Tom Lipschultz or their psycho XSEED shill allies ???? I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!!!!)

    DeuceBag: You probably think I'm a freak for offering to pay you. :P NightWolve: Yeah, a little surprsing. NightWolve: Normally it'd be the other way around. Deuce: I wouldn't do it if it weren't Ys. NightWolve: I once offered Neill Corlett to hack Ys IV for us. To finish the job, get the font working, write the recompressing code, etc. Flat offer for $250. I was prepared to do it. But he said while he respected the offer and was appreciative of it, his attention was towards other things at the time. Deuce: Even if it doesn't get a public release, I want to be able to have the game in English for myself. Deuce: Yeah, I imagine he's got a lot of balls in the air. NightWolve: I figured because he never got paid for any of the work and stuff, and all the freebies (FREE-FOR-ME babies) out there, he'd take up the offer pretty quick. NightWolve: My financial condition was still good back then, so $250 wasn't a big deal. Deuce: I think most folks aren't in it for money. Deuce: Apart from Ramat or whatever his name was. Deuce: The iNES guy. NightWolve: Oh, but wait. hehe NightWolve: I remember I asked him a question some time ago and he made a side comment of, "Maybe I should've taken you up on that old offer." Deuce: Hah. NightWolve: Well, not a problem now. Dave [Shadoff] and I finished the job. Deuce: Indeed, and fine work it is. Deuce: Halfassed efforts on my part and all. ;P
    *** Feb 13 2007 (Context: The 40%/60% royalty split discussion. Demands a 40% cut on future earnings of Ys Origin payware-modeled patch & threatens to quit if I don't agree... I agreed to 25% which he disapproved, felt that "40%" was perfect and would accept nothing less...) NightWolve: It's an operation that I built and worked on day and night, etc. Granted you didn't have the time that I had, cause you're not in that situation. Deuce: You're right. I have, however, been at your disposal most any time you've needed me, and I've spent time at work I could have been using to take on more training to advance my career to do these scripts, because it's a passion of mine, and more importantly, it's something I committed to with you. ... Deuce: But in the end, it comes down to this, and only this: Deuce: I am willing to continue working for free, if the patches remain free. If not, I think a 60-40 split in your favor is quite fair. Failing that, then I suppose that we won't be working together anymore. NightWolve: Well, you better hold off on that Origins work you started on then. Deuce: So it would seem. NightWolve: Let's see what happens a year or two now, and we'll go from there. DeuceBag: I'm sorry it came to this, Nick. For what it's worth, it's been a good run. ... DeuceBag: But I hope you'll understand that I won't hold my breath waiting for a maybe and a what-if. NightWolve: Understood. Fri Feb 23 07:56:38 2007 It ended with: NightWolve: Alright, so you'd be happy enough with 25%/75% down the road *if* we go forward like I talked about? Deuce: That is correct. NightWolve: Alright. And when I get working I'll probably come up with a flat fee in addition for your past work [the $550]. NightWolve: Well, a gift, if you will. DeuceBag: All righty. DeuceBag: I fully plan to make YsO a "blow Nick away" project. Especially if you give me the means to test on my own. ;) NightWolve: I'd like to so you'll leave me alone for a long long time. NightWolve: :P Deuce: Hah. You wound me to the quick, sir.

    (Funny to read this now... The vile shitstain DID make it a "blow you away" project AND he did try to leave me alone for a long long time as I sarcastically asked... In the end he held a grudge and this discussion mattered greatly! I made obvious mistakes like I NEVER should've talked about politics with a psycho who wants to kill Christians/republicans like his sister and half the country! And I was better off just retiring on the spot right after the Felghana leak happened. I had a 5 year run at that point, it was good enough, I didn't need to prove myself any further, but the motherfucker dragged me in and a sticking point was I just didn't wanna work for free at that time... I knew he had some kind of hate, he kept his distance but now all of a sudden we're nearly equal 40%/60% partners ??? It didn't compute, and now we know his REAL royalty split was 100% for himself, 0% for me with a one-in-a-billion translation export commercialization opportunity as XSEED Games shows! HOW DARE this motherfucker ever call us a team or partnership in ANY context! Nobody ever went up to him on social media and straight up asked him, "Hey, whatever happened with 40%/60% partners, remember that ?? Seems you prefer 100%/0% on the XSEED commercialization deals! You scammed NightWolve for thousands in free labor/work hours so you could export 4-5 finished translations to XSEED and only YOU are supposed to be credited and paid for it ??? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!! WHY ?"

    FUCK YOU, YOU MOTHERFUCKING SON-OF-A-BITCH!!!!!!! YOU'RE A PSYCHO NAZI CUNT AND ALWAYS WERE!!!!!!!!! YOU DON'T DESERVE ANY OF IT!! NOT ONE BIT!!! A GOOD FREELANCER WHO PLAYED BY THE RULES, WORKED THEIR WAY UP AND NEVER CHEATED ANYONE TO DO IT LOST THE YS 1,2,FELGHANA CONTRACTS SO A DISGUSTING, UNDESERVING SOB LIKE YOU COULD SNEAK/CHEAT YOUR WAY INTO THE LOC INDUSTRY VIA THE BACK DOOR OFF THE BACK OF YOUR PARTNER WHO YOU PRETENDED DIDN'T EXIST!!! EVERY ONE OF THOSE YS GAMES SHOULD BE RE-TRANSLATED BY A PROFESSIONAL!!!! THERE'S MORE THAN ONE INJUSTICE HERE!

    )
    *** Jan 08 2010 (6 years of silence/playing-stupid begins months later ~May 2010 Technically 3 years/3 years. He broke his silence 3 years because either he or Tom were stalking my site, saw that I went public about these disgusting XSEED deals, so he tried to legally threaten me to delete everything and to never speak his name again, etc.!) (Relevance?? I realized it indicated his "secret translator" double-cross status with Tom's team, XSEED hired Tom in March!) NightWolve: So what's going on in your neck of the woods ? Deuce: I wanted to get current/most recent copies of the databases for the various Ys games we've done. NightWolve: Alright, all the databases ? ... NightWolve: You want just script dumps or with the [CAT] tool ? ... Deuce: BTW, did I send you a copy of the the Origin database after I'd done inserting all of Yunica's transcripts? Deuce: The tool, probably. NightWolve: You never inserted anything else I recall. Deuce: If need be, I can get the script dumps out of the MDe.

    (Context: Eventually when I would find out that he exported the Ys Origin script as "the secret translator" to Tom's Italian team (before XSEED hired the same Tom), Jeff knew I'd ban/block him for the weird double-cross, never give him ANYTHING else, so he's still pretending we're "friends" at this point, asking me to synchronize all the CAT translation software databases so he's up-to-date. I never got around to sending him the databases, I was busy, so what remained on his computer (in MY C.A.T.) were the rough draft copies full of all his errors, context failures, no global spell/grammar check applied or outside editing help which would happen on my computer. This, he/Tom feels, was an "advantage" months later when it came to the XSEED deals so they could use the ole line, "Jeff typed every word, we took NOTHING NightWolve typed, so we cheated him fair and square!" This ignores THOUSANDS of MY WORK HOURS done under FAN TERMS and copyright laws to protect from worker abuse: I NEVER licensed my Translation Station CAT software to him beyond fan/student terms, I'd NEVER be that stupid, NOBODY WOULD; he had no consent either in written or verbal terms to transition all our fan projects to commercial products, but they/him/Tom/XSEED engaged in secret collusion, under cover of darkness, doing these exports quickly, secretly, 3 at once with Ys I, II, Felghana, and I was the last to know anything!!!!!!!!!!!

    Tom-chan even hid his identity for a few months, I was mildly wondering who was wearing this "I break walls" t-shirt that Jess Chavez introduced as their new editor, but mostly, WHO made this dirty deal with Deuce? I replied to XSEED's Facebook that whoever he is he kind of scares me having ZERO IDEA it was WyrdWad Tom, the online "hero" bully that was running a hate campaign with his alt Ys Origin project to damage/sabotage me with it!!! When I first got him to reply, he said he was waiting for me to find out it was HIM inside XSEED (Sat, Aug 21, 2010): "I'd kinda been wondering when you were going to find out about my new job. With XSEED's media blitz, I knew it was just a matter of time! ... Either way, thank you for the kind words, even if they came reluctantly. (: It's good to hear from you, and I promise you I'll do right by Ys. Deuce would've been a great choice for the company as well, indeed... and that's why we're using his translations for Felghana and I & II. I was the one who convinced the higher-ups at the company to hire him on as a contracted freelancer... ...I hope we can at least remain on civil terms with one another, and I do want to thank you for all you've done to help spread awareness of this series..." Odd thing in reading this now, I learned a year later that Psycho DeuceBag exported THREE of our projects at once!!! I couldn't have imagined Ys I & II getting an official release, but I see here Tom-chan actually told me, but I didn't pay attention! For mostly 1 year I only thought this was a Felghana deal and because that's what DeuceBag celebrated in his neo-geo.com thread, nothing was mentioned about Ys I & II!

    I could not imagine a profiteering bonanza on almost ALL our past projects, up to 5, and these psycho assholes would just keep on going, him collecting 100% payment/100% credit while maintaining silence with me!!! Every time I think of how digusting these people are it just makes my blood boil! It's not even healthy to type this up one last time but I've gotta force myself to make sure it's recorded for history's sake should accountability find these assholes one day! It's highly relevant because of my slow reaction! I tried to ignore Deuce ever since, pretend it never happened and it was somewhat easier to do believing ONLY Felghana was sold, a one-off situation, NOT 3, 4, and possibly 5 projects and he's STILL playing dumb, STILL keeping 100% of the money, STILL stealing 100% of the credit! I only stopped them from exporting Ys 6, they made Dan Prescott translate it from scratch instead, but they were gonna do it had I not protested! They claim even if I had finished 50 Falcom fan projects with Jeff, he was within his "rights" to keep selling every one for all the money/credit....... WHY do so few Ys fans call them out on it ????)


    Recently in 2024, he cheated me again out of crediting for 1 week of labor on Samurai Shodown RPG, the BmpTileFlip tool I built for him (per his request) to mod an English font in (of course the guy that cheated you on THOUSANDS of work hours on Ys projects would cheat you for 7 days on this one!)! I remember falsely being accused of talking about the leaker in a DM (I just wanted to show him worldwide Ys patch installation logging!), I was NOT, but he pretended I was, said I had an "obsession" with him which was also false (It was his disgusting, reductionist compare/contrast habit where he'd write that he has an obsession with the Ys series, while "that other guy" has an obsession with the Ys leaker, so HE is the real Ys fan!). He was simply preparing me for the double-cross with WyrdWad's team and was gonna cite the leaker as a main reason, so his talking-point/tactic was gonna be to trump-up charges, smear me as spending "2 WHOLE YEARS" on him/the leak issue, etc. (No evidence for his insane psycho lies, he uses the passage of time to smear you, implying you did X Y or Z for "all these years..." as if I live inside a computer! Even this post I wrote, he'll literally subtract 2024 from 2007 when the Felghana leak happened and claim ~17 YEARS SPENT ON THIS, imply 365 days/year, 100,000 hours was spent/planned on writing something negative about him/XSEED, the poor little underdog angels that they are!!!). If I said the leaker's name once again, he'd pretend I said it 1000 times AND spent 100,000 work hours on him (somehow!), always in the direction of hyperbolic/trumped-up charges to an absurd/comical/insane degree because he was looking to break that Ys Origin agreement behind my back despite having taken more work hours and CAT translation software from me! You get the idea!

    I guess the master plan worked out nicely ? Real fucking "hero" of the people, huh ?? There were better/sane/rational ways to cancel our Ys Origin agreement but he chose the worst, most vile way when I didn't even wanna work on the project to begin with! It's just that WyrdWad's team presented him with a plan B and he could throw me under the bus, walk away both with the $550 and gain some sort of "hero" status... Truly a vile fucking bastard, dragged me into it only to ruthlessly kick me out of it once he was sure he didn't need me anymore to finish the rest of the project... Of course nobody imagined WyrdWad would get hired by 2 former Squaresoft bosses just as they had gained a Falcom partnership, so because of Jeff's troll games before that, WyrdWad just copied the same double-cross idea/action. Jeff becoming the "secret translator" for WyrdWad's fan team, that idea was ported by WyrdWad for XSEED on ALL our past projects! And I had to be continuously demonized/blacklisted/shunned as "the worst person in the world" to justify it yet even today I don't really know what I did to these psychos to justify something so cruel/unjust/unfair/despicable! I couldn't be forgiven 3 or even 5 years later, they just kept on doing it!!! Who's the real embarrassment now though ?? Look at his neo-geo.com posts! Ys fans know if *I* wrote something like that WyrdWad Tom would list it as the #1 reason why I was unprofessional/embarrassing/a PR nightmare and to be avoided!!! But you know how it goes, all the XSEED allies will never say a word about it! Very few will ever know just how vile Jeff truly is as a human being!

    It's one thing to have your [criminal] views, it's another thing to impose them on someone else without consent! If he (or Tom on the Ys Felghana project!) told me from the very first Ys fan project that he becomes the "100% master CEO/owner" of the translated script for potential/possible future commercial sales and I'd just be the uncredited "slave," (that's NOT a "partnership" despite him ONLY calling it that when he announced he "dissolved" it JUST IN TIME for secret sales to XSEED Games!!! AMAZING COINCIDENCE!!) I'd tell him to find someone else you motherfucker! Period. Never mind the sabotage/threat this represents to all other fan partnerships: producers like GideonZhi have to watch their backs from translators plotting secret sales to companies and using XSEED as a precedent to cut out all their partners! What if I had finished not 5, but 15 or 25 Falcom projects with Jeff, and each time he's sneaking into my CAT translation software exporting a finished Falcom script, pocketing 100% credit/100% payment, year after year, and STILL ghosting me like I never existed ??? WHAT THEN ??? At what point do even the most dedicated XSEED shills like Limfinite/DigitalEmelas recognize this as massive worker abuse ?? Tom/Jeff keep on telling the world they did nothing wrong, right ?? And whether 5 or 50 finished projects involving my free fan labor was used, Jeff was then "free" to keep on making secret commercial sales without my consent/negiotiation/involvement, right ??? HOW INSANE IS THAT ??? And yet, these are REAL people who stand by this, STILL unrepentant, STILL won't apologize for it, and worse, STILL spreading lies/misinformation about their victim and the situation! If you finally realized these homicidal psychos/pedo-predators didn't think it through and all the possible ramifications/consequences, then you'd be correct! They didn't! Tom-chan just needed that sweet revenge, that's ALL that mattered to that particular DISGUSTING SOB! He could've let XSEED continue with normal contractors, but nope, I had to be targeted in some way AGAIN!!!! I do wonder if in their heads it still feels "good" or not but you'll never get a straight answer from a psycho liar...

    So...I finally figured out why all of XSEED/WyrdWad's friends can be credited for just about anything (including Ys Celceta DVD piracy) but I cannot (they have VERY high standards for people of good/moral character/reputation, you see):
    While you are NOT credit-worthy, bold/bald/fat homicidal cock-flashers & wyrdwad pedophiles ARE 'acceptable' for being credited on XSEED Games' localizations...

    Well, Christmas is soon upon us... I'm sure plenty of you agree way too fast at that. So what are you guys and gals hoping to get or are buying for yourselves? Are you playing any specific online games that have cool Christmas events planned?

    I'm hoping Ys Origin arrives on Saturday 12/23.  I will be playing the heck out of it if it does.  Other than that, I'm looking forward to plenty of rest, visiting my mom and catching up on various projects.  I have no idea what gifts I could be getting, maybe some clothes. :) 
    I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

    Mountains of Stuff
    « Reply #2 on: Dec. 22, 2006, 12:53:26 PM »
    Let's see... where to begin...

    I have been a full-time intern for the past few months with a killer commute (2 hours each way), so my free time has been essentially non-existent.  During my commute, I have been able to finish New Super Mario Bros. and Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow entirely (every mode, every secret, etc...).  I am currently playing through Dawn of Sorrow (GREAT game, BTW).  If not for the commute, I would have NO game time whatsoever.  As of 4 pm today, my internship is over, so I finally have the time to go over my backlog of stuff (for the record, it's my lunch break right now).

    I already know I am getting Portrait of Ruin, Kirby Squeak Squad, and a Wii for Christmas.  I already received my preorder copy of Twilight Princess, as well as the English translation patch for Tsukihime and another translation that I am supposed to beta test.  Throw in a mountain (not an exaggeration) of Hirameki visual novels I have yet to play through, and I have enough entertainment to last me 'til summer.  And that's not even mentioning anime, which I follow almost religiously.

    All in all, I have plenty to do, and I finally have the time to do it.  I wonder what's worse:  being poor and not being able to buy what you want, or being well-off and not having the time to enjoy your purchases.  At the moment, I am putting off picking up Origin until my mountain becomes more manageable.  By then, the beta testing I have to do will be done, and I will not have to spend as much time resisting the urge to play Origin.

    This sounds like my situation :P  I've only played through Phantom of the Inferno, one ending; Tea Society of a Witch 1 ending, and Ever17 2-3 endings [not going to stop till I get the final ending!]; While Yo-Jin-Bo, the Exodus Guilty games, Hourglass of Summer still to go~
    The only time I've been able to play recently is usually in the dead of night/morning, which leaves me sleep deprived :P

    But, even with my lack of time for games and having probably 20 games I haven't gotten to yet: Shadow Hearts 1,2; Digital Devil Saga 2; Paper Mario; Resident Evil 0,1,Outbreak; Link; Tsukihime; freeware games or mods for games I already have; The Longest Journey 1,2; dot hack 1-4; FFX etc etc; Not to mention anime series that I've gotten and haven't gotten around to yet...!

    Yet, I am getting or hoping to get Animaundi, Exodus Guilty 3, FF12, the CardCaptorSakura movies, Tehxnolyze, Haibaine Renmei, Read or Die OVA...
    So this is what it means to be a collector?  Sometime I want to be a player again :P  [And I bet it won't be long till Ys 3 translation is finished..! That means I'll have to play through 1,2 and then 3!  Sounds fun :P ;)]

    EDIT: I wouldn't mind getting a new system, but really I have so much to catch up on...!  I'll probably wait till initial price drops :P
    EDIEDIT: Also there are so many translated SNES games and such that I've been wanting to check out... really this could be a full time gig..!  Too bad the pay is nil :P

    The only time I've been able to play recently is usually in the dead of night/morning, which leaves me sleep deprived :P
    Whenever I play through visual novels, I make a point of starting them only when I'd have enough time to play it through to the end.  I do not like starting something, going to work during the week, then picking up where I left off 5-6 days later.  Especially when Phantom of Inferno takes a week full-time to finish and I do not have time to replay large chunks to refresh my memory.  As a result, Hourglass of Summer has been on my back-burner for 2 years.  Sad, but true.

    Since you seem to like Hirameki stuff, I'll give you my comments for future reference:

    Phantom of Inferno (Completed with all 10 endings)
    -Definitely worth it.  I first played this 2 years ago, and I made a point of replaying it during the summer since two friends were interested in checking it out.  I only caught 7 of the 10 endings when I first played it (before I made a point of catching every ending -- this was my first, after all), and I had come across the PS2 version's official player's guide, so I decided to give it another whirl.  Definitely better than the first time around since I got to see everything.

    Day of Love (Completed with every ending)
    -Charming, but not really recommendable.  Extensively censored, to the point that only two of the endings actually feel complete.  Don't pick it up unless you have cash to burn.

    Amusement Park (Finished with only 2 endings)
    -I can't give a fair judgement this early, but so far, it seems alot like Day of Love, but with a better scenario.  I've noticed some censorship, but nothing seems too bad compared to DoL.

    Ishika & Honori (Stopped playing after an hour)
    -BORING.  Annoying characters, dumb premise, and the story changes are influenced somewhat arbitrarily by whether you attacked, used magic, or defended in its equivalent of a random RPG battle.  Not recommended.

    Ever 17 (Completed with all 8 endings and all 3 epilogues)
    -THIS is the reason why I make a point of playing through every ending within the same expanse of time.  The hype you have heard about the Final Chapter's ending is well-deserved.  If you enjoy endings like The Sixth Sense or The Usual Suspects, you will love the final scenario.  It's not my favorite scenario in the game (that would be reserved for Tsugumi's ending), but it's definitely unique in the best sense of the word.

    I own every Hirameki title except Exodus Guilty Vol. 3 and Dragonia.  Hourglass of Summer and Exodus Guilty are at the top of my to-do list, once I finish with Dawn of Sorrow and beta testing.  Sucks that I return to university next Wednesday...  :~(  Fortunately, I only have class 3 days a week.  University life can be sweet.  8)

    On top of that, I have Portrait of Ruin, every Zelda title released since Majora's Mask, Tsukihime, and the releases from Insani's Altogether translation festival left to go through... wait a sec... I already went over this.  Sorry.  I have a tendency to rant when I get into something.

    As for fan translations, I have kinda phased them out unless the game looks really good.  When free time is scarce, you have to be discriminating.  That's why I've stopped playing RPGs that take themselves way too seriously (a serious tone can be nice, but when the story becomes cliche, it's time to move on).  Action-RPGs and Side-Scrollers are more my cup of tea.  I have never had the patience for Strategy games, despite the fact that I would really like to play through my copy of Growlanser Generations.

    Nice mugs & shirt, Joe.  Kinda reminds me of the T-Shirt my brother got me.  It reads:  "1f j00 c4n r34d 7h15, j00 n33d 70 g37 l41d."  :rolleyes:

    Growlanser Generations...  I got that when it first came out.  I've still only played Growlanser 2.  I enjoyed it a lot, definitely pretty challenging at parts.  Not overly long, and I meant to replay it to get some more of the character endings (with a guide, so I can get as many as possible on a single playthrough), and try for the alternate story-branch, but got distracted by other games, and ended up being really busy for a while, and just never got back to it.  I've not even touched Growlanser 3 at all.

    It's definitely different from your standard SRPG.  It's definitely a bit refreshing, especially since you have some variety in the battle objectives, over 'Kill all the enemies' or 'Kill the boss'. 

    *sigh*  I just have too many games to play, and not enough time.  I can't even remember all of them off the top of my head.

    Lets see, right now, I'm working on Twilight Princess (Gamecube version, three dungeons finished), Ys: Origin (at first BIG boss), Ys: Oath in Felghana (Working through Abandoned Mines, on Hard, had to make a couple quick escapes), Final Fantasy XII (which was starting to lose my interest, hope the story picks up sometime soon, currently at Henne Mines, probably on hold until I'm done with Zelda, which looks to be a while), Shadow Hearts 3 (Not sure where I'm at, not too far, but got distracted by Suikoden V, which I had to play right away), Okami (actually very far into the game, I think FF12 came out around that time, and again, got sidetracked), Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Grandia III, Tales of Legendia, Tales of the Abyss, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Atelier Iris 2, all of which I haven't even STARTED yet, not to mention some older games that I've started and never finished, such as, Dark Cloud 2, Phantom Brave, and probably a couple others, including even a DS game or two, and a few translated ROMs that I haven't touched yet, that have been released that I've been waiting for.  AND other games that I'm interested in, but haven't bothered buying, since I know I'll never get to them, and that I know are fairly readily available.  The ones I know I won't be able to find in a few months, I try to pick up when I can.  Makes me so glad I got Suikoden II when that first came out, what with the insane prices it now fetches on eBay.  I'm definitely picking up the second Phoenix Wright game when that hits in a couple weeks. 

    Oh, and don't even get me started on the games that I feel like giving another run-through to, even though I'll never get to it.

    Whatever happened to the times when there were not enough games to fill your free time?  Now there's too many games to play, and not enough free time.  At the rate I'm playing games lately, it'll take me over a year just to play what I have, let alone any new stuff that catches my eye. 

    And not to mention I have 5-10 big books (or more!) here that I'm working my way through.  I'm not even sure how many are in my queue right now, just that I need to get another bookcase, since I'm out of room for books. =P

    My backlog is quite immense.  And it just keeps getting bigger.

    Ok, I'm all typed out.  I'll end the rambling, and complaining, and whatever.

    That was quite a list. I was happy when santa put in new screens, installed a new garbage disposal, and fixed 2 faucets.
