	Alas, I missed the wank (?) but I do have to say this: I went to ACen for the first time this year and there were definitely two guys dressed up fantastically as the two (opposing, I assume) lawyers in PW, with the "Objection!" signs and crazy hair and all and I knew who they roughly were from fandom_wank icons. So, thanks for that f_w. Thanks for that. tears up (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It's an awesome game. I'm replaying the first two in anticipation the third coming out in a month or two. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Isn't it only on the DS? I really want to play it, but I'm probably not going to be getting a DS any time soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The North American version is, but the first three games originally came out on the GBA. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I don't know if it's true for the GBA version, but I'm pretty sure the Japanese ones have an English option. I don't know how good it is, but I've heard a lot of people use it. Of course, 4 doesn't have English, for some strange reason. Probably too hard to translate all the gay. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The Japanese GBA games do not have English.

The Japanese DS games of GS1 and 2 have English and are exactly the same as the English games released in America. (3 isn't out for the DS in either country yet, but it will be soon, and both versions will have the same English translation)

GS4 does not have English because it was just released for the first time in Japan, and isn't a remake like the other Japanese DS games. The translators are busy working on GS3. But we might see GS4 in English some time next year.

Hope that's clear :D

	If you have a Gameboy, I highly recommend you think about doing a tradein. It's a horribly lame thing to say, but the DS is so much cooler. Touch screen! Microphone! And you can play all your GameBoy games on it too. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm kind of amused that about half the "omg bad art I hate it" secrets are aimed at artists who can draw well. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	rowsdower 2007-07-14 02:44 am UTC (link)
	Hmm, if you're referring to the secret which started this whole thing (which, if not, definitely correct me. I've been awake since 5 AM and can no longer process English), I personally take it as less of an "ew bad art" issue and more of an "ew bad attitude". But I admit I'm biased as this gefrier guy's schtick annoys me. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	selphiroth 2007-07-16 11:05 am UTC (link)
	Hold on. So this guy draw the pairing for free despite of not being a fan of the pairing, and people bitched about it because he wasn't a screaming fangirl? Whoa, way to show how to be grateful. Personally I still don't get why people still refused to use the characters' English name consider they've been around for like what, two years now? (Reply to this)(Thread)

Well, I'm one that has to agree with the sentiment of the secret. It's one thing to draw something that's not your bag out of the goodness of your own heart. That's laudable.

But it's the difference between, "hey, I got you some flowers, even though I'm allergic to them" and "hey, I had to go to fifteen different florist shops to get you these damn things because the first one didn't have them, and even though you never asked me I just knew you were desperate for me to get you flowers, and then I broke out in huge hives and it was totally disgusting. Oh and the traffic was terrible and you know my car air conditioning doesn't work!"

	I've never seen the original notes from the artist so I wouldn't be able to comment. Though from the look of Croik's explanation from below, I still think that it's a huge, huge overreaction in the secret. Wonder if anyone here have a link to the comment that caused all the k'boom.

	I know Gef's posted at least one other NaruMitsu in addition to this (as part of a "things I'm printing to sell at a con" post, I think) but this is all I could pick out: http://community.livejournal.com/gyakuten_saiban/268958.html The art was for me, hence my bias in his favor.

Well, my issue wasn't that he drew some great art for you. It's that he addressed the rest of us while posting it. Frankly, I knew he didn't like the couple--and while I thought it was sweet of him to draw it for you knowing how much he hates it--I didn't have a burning desire to see his version of it either, and would have been content to have him draw things he does like.

I don't know him, so you probably know much better than me if it's just some schtick of his, but that's my two cents for what it's worth.

	selphiroth 2007-07-17 04:47 am UTC (link)
	Oh man! As far as I can see people were so good humoured about his irks, in a friendly poking kind of way. Why would anyone want to shove the art back in his throat is beyond me. My googlefu is seriously going downhill. I didn't even know that there's a great artist who does PW fanarts. Off to explore in his journal. <333 (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have a bunch of his arts up on my page for you to peek at. But my favorite just might be Epic Tongue Battle. Guaranteed to cause a reaction of some sort (Yaoi warning). (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh yeah. It's just a pattern that sort of irks me personally. He's a good artist, and most of the time I'm content to just sort of ignore what he says about P/E. But in the interest of fairness, I have found it tiresome more than once and wished he would just post the pretty and leave it at that.

	Aww man, PW wank when I'm out of town. I missed it. :( But for the record, that particular NaruMitsu pic was a birthday gift-art. It was a "I hate this pairing, but I'm drawing it for you because it's your birthday and I know you like it" thing. Not really worth getting worked up over. :\ (Reply to this)(Thread)

	soupspooks 2007-07-17 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I've done that/had that done for me before (or, at least, actively disliked the pairing). The whole thing disappeared really quickly. (Have I mentioned I love you, and your spoileriffic site?
