Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the translation NTSC-J! Somehow I knew Gus was a jazz fan.

[PAPER/ARTILLERY]

Great stuff.

Thanks NTSC-J!

Interesting stuff and great to see the forum represented in a publication.

Gus's interview is a bit embarrassing, truth be told - so much deviation from the questions with closet-minded rhetoric.

But everyone else comes across really well.

I appreciated all the interviews.

I actually thought Gus's interview was the highlight of the whole thing (no offense to ABS and iconoclast, you guys did great) simply because it showed so much character. You never see that kind of personality in Japanese gaming magazines (and actually you didn't here either: the lines about being called a virgin as an insult and the "animalistic hedonism" were left untranslated).

My goal when trying to think of questions for the interview was to meet the people behind the great scores because that's more interesting to me than how many times they restarted on stage 1 or what their favorite shmup power-up is. We got a small glimpse of that here, but I would have liked much more.

Oh that's interesting. So they actually chose not to include those sections in the Japanese transcript?

Well anyway, I appreciate what you're saying. It's candid, certainly: and perhaps that is intriguing to a Japanese audience. But for me my judgement is clouded by having known him from the forum already. He's always beating the same drum. The whole 'fucking casuals' thing and that horribly cringeworthy essay on what separates gamers lingers heavily in the mind when reading his contribution.

So it's characteristic, yes, I agree. But to a party already privy to his evangelising it prompts eyeball rolling.
