110mb must really hate hot linking. Oi.

Photobucket, here I come.

There's an Akira game? ... I'm listening to the OST at this moment.

Indeed it is.

Where did you get the idea from Clockwork from? I googled Karakuri and I got something from One Piece and that had something to do with robots etc. But this castle in Goemon is just an old-fashioned Japanese castle.

That font for Akira certainly looks similar, but it's not quite the same as the BEast Buster font.

“Clockwork” is but one possible meaning of the word. I’m thinking it actually means “trick” in this case.

Aha.  Okay, no big deal.  Karakuri is, in my experience, frequently in reference to some type of mechanism.  The context in which I've most often seen it is Samurai Shodown, which takes place roughly in the same time period of Goemon, doesn't it?  In both instances, two separate characters: Yagyu Karakuri Hanma and Karakuri Ocha-Maro both are made of/make use of (respectively) wood and metal machinery, gears, etc.  So, it's the first thing my mind goes to, rather than "trick."

Hah.  Well, in that case, I'd be tempted to translate it, just to retain the obviousness of the joke.

Cool.  I was just curious.  I've always liked that font.

That is indeed one sexy font. I can't wait to actually be able to play Akira.  :thumbsup:

Whee! I <3 the internet. I was up late on the IRC channel last night, and asked a random question to MathOnNapkins about one of the bugs I was having in FFIV.

He's so awesome that not only did he know the answer, but taught me how to do it within 20 minutes flat.


- This is what this screen looked like before I did any hacking. Over a year old. Notice how the item prices are cut off because the item names are so long?


- Slightly less old. I expanded the item shop menus and moved the item names back far enough so that they don't cut off prices. Now I've got a new problem, the sprite for the hand icon is in the middle of the item name.

20 minutes of MoN talk later:


- Now they're only covering up the item icon. And I think that's much better.

Thanks alot MoN! ^_^
