Know Your Temps info


For those of you that are new to the game, here are the rules:
  • One user will be put on the questioning stand every two days (or so)
  • Once that user's session of questioning starts, anybody can ask that user a reasonable amount of questions they want via posting on the thread
  • These questions can be about anything. Personal life, GBAtemp/internet life, pet peeves, questions, musical tastes, "what if" situations...anything!
  • Please try to post all your questions at once, in one solid post
  • Upon receiving questions, the user that is in the spotlight can answer them at anytime, as long as it's before their time is up.
    Oh well. Guess we'll try again in a couple of days
This quirky little activity will help us get to know our fellow 'tempers even better in an exciting, chaotic manner! Those who have an upcoming KYT session will be notified about their upcoming session via PM.

Guys, you have the opportunity to pick the mind behind the mystery.
Is there seriously nothing you want to know about Densetsu?

Should I just change the OP back to the regular old KYT formatting?

Will you impart thy ninjutsu knowledge to me, sensei?

Serious question:
How would you treat peeps with psychological problems? Maybe autism, or schizophrenia, or any other really. Do you feel you could have a proper friendship with them just like with any other person? And not treat them based on what they have, but attempt to look past their problems and focus on how they are?

Serious 2:
How did you learn to translate games? How long did it take you to start doing them? How long would you say it would take for a person who has no knowledge related to hacking/translating to start doing so?

Where did you get your user name?
What do you think of me/how do I come across to you? Just out of curiousity, so don't worry about offending me.

So, a lot of people seem intent on squandering. Their loss, so alrighty thensetsu.

@[member='Densetsu']: do you believe that Vulpes Abnocto sucks?
No, but I believe that he's a fcuking piece of awesome.
Hello
Hi!

Do you still have all those Xmas presents you got ?
They actually weren't all mine. Some of that stuff belongs to my friend, and it was his idea to combine our presents together to take that awesome pic.

What's you real name ? :P
Only four people on this entire forum know my real name. If you get to know me better, then maybe I'll tell you too :ninja:

Are you really a ninja ?
Yes.

If yes, can you prove it ?
Well, not sure if I have "proof" per se. I use this as my umbrella and have this Shirt of Ninja-ing +5. The shirt on the right was given to me by my classmates in medical school for my birthday last year. I know Ninjaspeek, write ninja scrolls and can use nunchaku. So "ninja" isn't just my persona on the 'Temp, but in real life too. If that's not proof enough for you...well, ninjas don't have anything to prove to anyone anyway :ninja:

Is there any story behind your username ?
One of my favorite SNES games of all time was Secret of Mana. I later found out that it was called Seiken Densetsu in Japan (which I assumed meant Secret of Mana--I didn't know Japanese at the time). Then I bought a PSOne in 1997 just to play FFVII. You have to understand that the graphics were revolutionary at the time, so I was completely enamored by VII. I loved it so much that I imported all the FFVII "Extra Knights" Bandai figures that same year (it was the first time I ever imported anything from Japan). The Sephiroth action figure said "伝説のソルジャー・セフィロス" (Legendary SOLDIER Sephiroth) on it, and I happened to be taking my first semester of Japanese at the time. I looked up the word 伝説 in my little pocket dictionary, saw that it meant "legend" and discovered that it was pronounced "densetsu." For four years, I thought "densetsu" meant either "secret" or "mana." My mind was blown. So when the Internet started to become really popular and I was creating email accounts and registering on forums, I started using "Densetsu" as my username. Partly because I loved Seiken Densetsu and also because I thought Sephiroth was pretty badass (if not a lunatic). The name has stuck to this day.
Would you take up a translation request i have ? :)
Maybe. Depends on what it is and how much time I have. If it's an entire game, most likely not because I have no time for it.
@[member='Densetsu']
When did you learn to speak/write that kanji stuff?
I started learning during my senior year in high school when my best friend (a Japanese-American) whom I've known since Kindergarten gave me a small Japanese phrasebook. That same year, we had a Japanese foreign exchange student staying at our school and we became friends. She was learning English, so I asked her to teach me hiragana. My high school only offered Spanish and French, so I took Spanish for 3 years in high school. I didn't start formally learning Japanese until university. Then my learning got super-turbo-charged after graduating uni when I moved to Japan for work.

How old are you?
Old enough to have had ample real-world experience.

When did you find the temp?
I found it in 2007 when I heard of this thing called the R4 and I was looking for more info on it. I didn't register until several months later.

What do you know of me?
You're pretty boss with the Android. I think you're an all-around cool guy.

Favourite Music?
Hmm, don't really listen to much music nowadays except for what's on the radio. I generally listen to whatever's popular, but I get tired of popular songs really fast when they play them too much.

Favourite Food?
Probably sushi.

What are the specs of your PC?
Will this suffice? It's the computer I'm using right now. I also have a Lenovo Thinkpad tablet that I use strictly for school.
Your reaction to this?

Not bad. I would totally karaoke the fuck out of this song.
So when did u really stop on the video?
I'm not watching it right now, but I have it open in another tab and I'm listening to it as I answer these questions.

Mind giving me anything from your collecton?
Sorry, I've already unofficially bequeathed my entire collection to one of my best friends should I die before he does (but that won't happen because I'm a ninja :ninja: )

HAIII.
Ohai!

HATE ME? D:
I don't hate anyone on the 'Temp.

which country you luv. :P
I've visited England, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, the Philippines and Japan. I love them all. Probably more than my own country.

bai :)
Later!
Will you impart thy ninjutsu knowledge to me, sensei?
I only take on one student at a time, and I already have one currently. When she graduates, I can accept another ninja disciple.

Serious question:
How would you treat peeps with psychological problems? Maybe autism, or schizophrenia, or any other really. Do you feel you could have a proper friendship with them just like with any other person? And not treat them based on what they have, but attempt to look past their problems and focus on how they are?
Well, I suppose it depends on how long I've known the person and how severe the problem is, among other circumstances. I volunteered at an institution that catered to the needs of autistic children one summer and most of the kids were really awesome. I also worked with 4 autistic students in Japan for 3 years. They loved to talk about video games, so we spent a lot of time talking about games (and not much time on English lessons :unsure: ). Fun times. Schizophrenia can be a lot harder to deal with. My fiancee's aunt has schizophrenia and when she lived at home with them she was dangerous to her family members and to herself. Some psychological problems aren't too hard to deal with. I have a friend with OCD and he likes his napkins, silverware, cups and plates to be placed perfectly on the table. If anything is even a little bit crooked, he'll move it so it's "perfect." One time I tested him and when he wasn't looking I moved his fork off-center from his napkin. When he turned back, he noticed it was crooked and he fixed it. So I did it again, and he fixed it again. I kept doing it until he said "FUCK I SWEAR MY FORK KEEPS MOVING!!!" :ninja:

Serious 2:
How did you learn to translate games? How long did it take you to start doing them? How long would you say it would take for a person who has no knowledge related to hacking/translating to start doing so?
The first thing I ever translated on my own was the M3 Sakura firmware and Moonshell 2 when I first joined here. I had no problems translating it because I worked in Japan for 3 years, used a cell phone with a Japanese interface and used Japanese Windows PCs the whole time (except for when I was using my own PC). I was used to seeing the computer-related terms like "Remaing Disk Space," "Save," "Cancel," etc. and that specific knowledge of Japanese jargon made it easy for me to translate M3 Sakura without any dictionaries. Before I did M3 Sakura, I translated the remaining komas from Jump Ultimate Stars. It was a bitch because they were all images (the original Japanese have since been replaced with the English versions), and the images had tons of kanji and it was hard to read because it was so small. My best advice for learning to translate games, especially games with lots of spoken dialogue between characters, is to read manga and watch anime in Japanese. When it comes to students of Japanese, I've found that the ones who go really far in their studies are the ones who read a lot of manga. If you can understand manga, you can understand "real" Japanese (as opposed to textbook Japanese, which is nothing like native Japanese).
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyy mister ninjaaaaa ^-^
Wassup, brah?

Do you like me?
Yeah, you're cool.

Do you LOVE Ninja Gaiden?
I've hated the series since the NES days. I own all three NES cartridges and I never did beat part 1 or 3. So friggin' hard!

Ryu Hayabusa, is he a good ninja?
Yes.

What IS the best ninja game you've ever played?
Probably the MGS series. Snake is a modern ninja.

Know Shinobi by Sega?
Yes.

Do you like k-pop? SNSD is the best <3
I generally don't listen to K-pop because I don't understand it, but it does sound nice. I was at a soju bar last month for a friend's birthday party and the bar has LED TVs hanging that play K-pop videos all day. I heard one song that sounded really awesome, but I never caught the name of the group that sang it. It sounded like the Korean version of EXILE (one of my favorite Japanese groups).

Do you own a 3DS?
Yes.

Do you want a Playstation Vita?
Maybe eventually, but I'm not going to get it at launch.

Do you like RPG games?
Yep. And you don't need to say "games" after "RPG" as it's redundant :P

Can a vegetarian be Ninja as well?
Ninjas do what they have to in order to survive. If they're in the woods and all that's available is poisonous berries, they'll eat that shit.

Are you vegetarian?
No, I love meat but I do eat a lot of vegetables as well. I make sure to have leafy greens and fruits whenever I can.

Do ninja's smoke? Are they allowed to?
Well, Solid Snake smokes on his missions, but only to get past laser sensors. And ninjas use smoke bombs to disappear. If a mission called for drastic measures they would also use fire to smoke out their enemies, but they would prefer to stalk their enemy and attack them unnoticed.

Do you enjoy life?
I'm lovin' life.

Do you enjoy here at the temp?
Absolutely.

Hmmm next question, what's your favorite pizza?
Probably chicken with pesto sauce or creamy garlic sauce.

What mobile phone do you have?
iPhone 4.

Do you play much video games?
Not as much as I'd like to. Between school, work, other projects I'm working on, I just don't have the time to play games these days. I have 12 PS3 games and 2 3DS games on my shelf that are still sealed in the shrink wrap D:

Do you have contact with other ninja's?
I do, but I can't say much else beyond that :ninja:

May ninja's ask many questions?
Ninja's don't ask too many questions. They do their recon work and research on their own so they already know everything about the mission before they begin.

Have you smoke bombs?
How do you smoke a bomb? I can explode one, but I've never smoked one.

Do you have a KATANA! =3 OMG ^-^
I have a katana umbrella and a steel katana that my brother gave me 10 years ago. It's sharp and made of metal, but I don't consider that a real one because it's a cheap $100 knock-off. One day I'd like to own a real one, but to have one made for you it starts at around USD $20,000 and upwards of $200,000. Only a few people in the US are certified to forge a katana in the traditional Japanese way. And in order to import one from Japan you have to be a licensed art collector, so I'll have to get a license first.

What languages do you speak besides English and Japanese?(You told me yourself you speak Japanese!! ;D)
I know a very small amount of Spanish, Ilocano and Tagalog.

Do you like Mudkip?
What the fuck's a Mudkip?

Is cake a lie?
Only if you eat it.

What's you favorite Pokémon?
I know nothing about Pokémon. Never saw the appeal, honestly.

Can Sega still make good games?
Probably. I'd like to see them step up their game a little and come up with some IPs with really high production value (for example, think MGS, RE, GTA, FF, etc.).

What are your thoughts on Resident Evil Revelations?
I bought it a few days ago (it has the misprint that's been making a buzz in gaming circles), but I haven't opened it yet (it's one of the games that I mentioned was still sealed).

What do you think of the Wiiu?
Not interested in the hardware at all. The launch titles will make a difference in whether I buy one.

Pink rocket?(XD search youtube, my favorite band sang it)
I just searched it, and there are soo many videos :wtf:;
I watched a random one, but it's not my thing. I don't care much for the high-pitched voices of Asian girl bands.

Tetris addicted?
When I lived in Japan my friend gave me TetrisDS. Haven't played it in forever.

What's your computer like? A super ninja computer laptop desktop thing?
I posted this pic above, but here it is again. You can also see what it looks like in the "katana umbrella" pic above. So I suppose it's fit for a ninja. It's small, compact, black, and powerful for what it is. It also has face recognition so in order to log on I just sit in front of its camera without having to put in a password.

These are a lot of questions.
I don't mind.

Do you like Spongebob?
Never watched it.

Try to grab the stone out of my hand.
You didn't notice, but I already grabbed it before you typed this question. :ninja:

I am shocked, I asked that many questions.... ^^
No worries ^^
Where did you get your user name?
I answered this in wasim's questions (see above).

What do you think of me/how do I come across to you? Just out of curiousity, so don't worry about offending me.
You're a nice guy. I forgot to thank you for answering my question about Mass Effect a while back. So thank you ^_^

So, a lot of people seem intent on squandering. Their loss, so alrighty thensetsu.
Alrighty then :)

I'm nice to anyone who's nice to me :) But if someone is being a douchebag, I can be a dick right back. Same as in real life, I suppose.

Let me ask one thing again, do you own any smoke bombs?(bombs that give smoke you know :3)
I don't have any on me at the moment, but I have bought them before. I also have a book that teaches you how to make different kinds of smoke bombs. I like bombs in general--anything that explodes is awesome.

Are all ninja's nice?
Ninjas can be anything they need to be in order to blend in :ninja:

And before I gor forgot, your great with nunchukas(or nunchuck you know what I mean! ;D)
Thanks! But Bruce Lee is still the master of nunchaku :ninja:

hai!

How are you?
Are you a spy?
Are you sure?
Where are you hiding?
If you had the opportunity to punch anyone in the face, who would you hit?
You are in a meeting when you suddenly feel the urge to take a piss. What do you do?
You have three wishes. What do you use them for?

...And that's it for me. :P
