Thank you so much for the help Hanover Fist! ^^ Turns out my only mistake in my original attempt was that I had not included the lowercase "L". You see in the first post where you helped me, you said: "Just add a lower case l". When I read that, I misread, and thought you meant a small "I" (as in, an "i"), rather than a small "L", so I thought you were talking about the small "i" in "i.imgur". Ops! Anyway, I've edited my post now, and I think it came out well (there was no need for me to resize my images before uploading them to imgur either)! Thanks a bunch! ^^

EDIT: IGNORE THIS, POST HAS BEEN EDITED! ^^

Could at least add the image tag to them so we can see them!

When I did that they showed up on this page without having to click on any link, sure, but they ended up being huge, and only a portion of the image showed up on screen, and with no scrollbar, so they were basically useless...I guess they are in too high resolution or something...If you know of a way to get my pictures to display on this page in a viewable size, or a bit large, but with a scrollbar, then please, by all means, tell me how, since I'd love to do so.

For me, even naruto change looks because of his kuubi. I feel like his power never change at all. Well, i guess only in speed and his rasengan got much bigger. but if he is really gotten stronger than the other, why would sasuke and other kages can much him? If the kyuubis power is really that strong why the other shinobi can much him? Thats why i felt that he didnt much change at all when it comes to power, just in the appearance.

With full and free access to his Kyuubi chakra, he has a ridicilously huge amount of chakra available to him, to such a degree that even after creating a ton of shadow clones while in Kyuubi form, just one of those clones alone were still able to pull off a Rankaiten (violently spiraling) Rasengan, Rasen Shuriken, and an attempt at a Bijuu Bomb, before running out of enough chakra to dispel the Kyuubi cloak. He held his own against the third Raikage. All of that, with just a shadow clone! And then said shadow clone finished off by using Sage Mode and a Rasengan to defeat the third Raikage.

That's one thing. Next, his cloak allows him to sense not only chakra like other sensory-type ninja can do, he can even sense "evil intent", which no-one else currently alive can do. So nobody can hide from him. Then there's the fact that he's now the fastest ninja alive, possibly along with Ay (the fourth Raikage), making him the second-fastest shinobi in history (after Minato, which I think was still a bit faster than he currently is...Maybe...). He also has the ability to extend his Kyuubi chakra into arms, which together with his speed means he's a monster at Taijutsu. He can also use his Kyuubi chakra arms to create multiple Rasengans (Rasen Rangan), a massive Rasengan, or theoretically, even multiple Rasen Shurikens (remember he used two tiny Kyuubi chakra arms on his finger to make a mini-Rasen Shuriken). And let's not forget the Bijuu Bomb of course, a seriously powerful attack. And all of this comes in addition to what he already had: Sage Mode, Summoning Jutsu, Tajuu Kage Bunshin, all his older Rasengan attacks, and Frog Fu. And his ability to heal wounds quickly due to the Kyuubi.

In terms of both power and offense, speed and agility, stamina, sensory, ninjutsu and taijutsu, Naruto is top-notch. The only areas where he is lacking are defense (although he does have his fast healing ability) and genjutsu. However, the Nine-Tails can wake Naruto up from genjutsu thrown at him in the same way that the Eight-Tails did with Bee in his fight against Sasuke (and that was against a genjutsu cast by a Mangekyou Sharingan no less!). So basically genjutsu are useless against him, and he'd beat most people in a test of taijutsu because of his speed and his Kyuubi chakra mode arms (though the third and fourth Raikage has him beat. I'm also not sure how he'd fare against Gai with 7 gates open...). So the best bet to beat him is to best him with ninjutsu, but Naruto's own ninjutsu are very powerful.

P.S: Not criticising you or trying to be mean here, but I'm not sure what you mean by "can much him". That doesn't work in English. Just thought I'd point that out. I'm guessing you're trying to ask why Sasuke and the kages would be able to beat/defeat/best him (Naruto)? And the reason Sasuke could potentially match Naruto in a fight is simple: Susano'o+Amaterasu. Ultimate, impenetrable defense, and instant deadly attacks. Though I'd like to think that Naruto would use his speed and sensory abilities to avoid all of Sasuke's attacks, and then just use his crazy stamina and huge chakra capacity to simply outlast Sasuke, and wear him down until he can't keep his Susano'o up any longer.

(POST EDITED ACCORDING TO Hanover Fist's INSTRUCTIONS)
Right! It's high time I uploaded pictures of my remaining new stuff! And man, imgur sure is a lot better than imageshack. As always, I'm not gonna bother taking pictures of all the tons of manga I've bought, and I also forgot to take a picture of my copy of the Aquaplus fighting game, Aquapazza, for the PS3, but whatever. ┐(￣ー￣)┌ Click on the images again to see them in larger sizes if you want (sorry for the crappy picture quality, I only have my cellphone camera).

First of, my loot from this Spring's (May) London Comic Con (my first time attending this con!):
1/8 Good Smile Company Saber figure (I love this one!):



1/7 Gift Saber Lily figure (this one is also pretty sweet!):



1/7 BanPresto Saber figure:




1/7 Taito Saber figure:


So yeah, I spent a lot of my time at the convention buying Saber figures lol. I actually bought a Gilgamesh figure from the same franchise as well, but a part is missing, so it's useless...There was also actually one more Saber Lily figure I meant to buy, but someone grabbed it first lol. Thanks goes out to Holo, Jecht, and their girlfriends for helping me carry all of these. I bought all of them except for the Taito one on the same day, so carrying them all around on my own for the whole day would have been tricky lol.

Next up, some loot I bought over the web a couple of months prior to the con!:
1/7 Y-Style Rin yukata figure (sorry for not having a close-up picture. They all ended up being really bad...The other two figures next to her I've posted pictures of before):


Type-Moon 10th Anniversary Phantasm Artbook (I'm guessing by now you guys are starting to realize how much of a Type-Moon geek I am lol):


Ef Visual Fan Book (artbook):


Ef Art Works (artbook):


To Love-Ru Darkness Venus Artbook:


And lastly, one item I forgot to include the last time, my Tohsaka Rin Portraits Artbook:


And that's it. ^^

Visual Novels / Re: Memorial Edition

« on: June 24, 2013, 07:13:16 pm »

I am unfamiliar with Doki-Fansubs but I have been wanting to get Clannad VN and have been having trouble finding information on it around here. It's nice to finally find some insight into the memorial editions priority.

I've been looking at the memorial edition because it seems like the easiest to buy but if an English patch is not going to be done for it for a while where could I download/buy another version, everywhere I have looked around the internet seems extremely dodgy for downloads and IDK where I could buy the other versions.

There are safe and good places to download the game, but I'd rather not provide any links, since I could get in trouble.( ^_^') As for buying the regular or Full Voice versions of the game for PC, yes, they can be a little hard to come by these days. There is one used and one new copy of the Full Voice version available on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Clannad-Full-Voice/dp/B00BP2CNEI/ref=sr_1_4?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1372094362&sr=1-4&keywords=Clannad  You'll notice though that they are expensive, since they're so rare here in the West.

What I'd recommend instead is to use Amazon.co.jp in English: http://www.amazon.co.jp/In-English/b/ref=topnav_switchLang/377-2202655-4497415?ie=UTF8&node=1094656 ,or http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/ ,and then order from one of them using a forwarding/proxy service like http://www.tenso.com/en/ or http://taigaya.com/proxy/ (the latter is personally recommended by our resident VN Boss and KEY expert extraordinaire Clannad Man. ). A quick search shows that Amazon.co.jp has plenty of copies of the game, both used and new, at much better prices: http://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?__mk_ja_JP=%83J%83%5E%83J%83i&url=search-alias%3Dvideogames&field-keywords=Clannad
You'll want to go with either this one: http://www.amazon.co.jp/KEY-CLANNAD-FULL-VOICE/dp/B0012DZSNS/ref=sr_1_6?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1372094579&sr=1-6&keywords=Clannad (the used copies that is! The new copies are super expensive!). Or this one:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/KEY-CLANNAD-~%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%83%8A%E3%83%89~-%E9%80%9A%E5%B8%B8%E7%89%88/dp/B0002F3JMO/ref=sr_1_11?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1372094579&sr=1-11&keywords=Clannad (that single ultra-hyper-super expensive new copy of the game is so expensive because getting ahold of a new copy of the original 2004 version of the game is virtually impossible these days. That one is only for extreme collectors. You'll be getting one of the used copies for a normal price, obviously).
The former has voices, the latter does not. Of course, your Memorial Edition copy trumphs both of those versions, so if you're patient, I would recommend just waiting until we release our ME patch, though it's going to be a while. Coincidentally, I can't be completely sure, but I think this one might be the Memorial Edition, so avoid buying it (since you already have it): http://www.amazon.co.jp/KEY-CLANNAD-%E3%83%A1%E3%83%A2%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB%E3%82%A8%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3-%E5%85%A8%E5%B9%B4%E9%BD%A2%E5%AF%BE%E8%B1%A1%E7%89%88/dp/B003H9MM1G/ref=sr_1_4?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1372094579&sr=1-4&keywords=Clannad

Hope that helps! (^_^)

I recently purchased the Memorial Edition of Clannad, and heard that is possible Doki could translate it - Do you plan on doing this in the near future, or should I just buy another version of the game?

We plan on doing it eventually, once we've finished the patch for the regular version of the game, and the Memorial and Ecstasy editions of Little Busters.

I'd like to post pictures of all the stuff I bought at the London Comic Con last month, all the stuff I bought over the web some months before that, and some stuff I forgot in my initial collection post, but Imageshack really sucks...Can any of you tell me of a good place to upload pictures that is free to use? How do you guys get your images to show up the way they do in this thread, with bars that allow you to scroll to see the whole picture, if the picture is big? When I posted my images, I was forced to put them in thumbnails, since if I didn't, only parts of the picture would show up in this thread, since they were too big, and I can't find a way to include a scrollbar...

I'm not sure about the first error message (I'd have to get someone who can read Japanese to check what it says, since I can't tell), but from the sound of things you're still able to run the game despite it. As for the second error, the link to the 2005 SP1 (x86) version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables that Delwack included in the readme is wrong, unfortunately (I'm still trying to get him to fix that...), and you've also not installed the 2010 version, so just to be sure I'll provide all 3 of the correct links here. Make sure you install all 3.
2005 sp1: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5638
2008 sp1: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5582
2010 sp1: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328

If you still get the "unable to format text" message after that, let me know.

Ah, you're talking about that bug that causes the game to crash when it tries to load the opening video. I thought you just meant you could play the game, but couldn't see the OP.

Well, that problem is a bit more complicated. It has to do with your video setup. Your codecs and filters and such. Most likely your vfw filter chain has been broken, because some of the codec packs you have installed on your system have been messing with it when they really shouldn't be. How it works is a little complicated, but, basically, a vfw filter chain determines what Windows passes stuff off to for decoding first, and like anything else, it must have a default value. You don't mention what operating system you are using (always include details on your system when posting errors, as per the guidelines posted on the first page of this error reporting thread), and I'm not sure how it is with Windows XP, but Windows 7 at least has a set of native filters to handle most stuff, using its own codecs for decoding several audio and video formats, and so using third party DirectShow filters instead of the native filters is not possible without making difficult changes to the Windows Registry. The problem is that some programs and players, which are able to use third party filters just fine on their own, try to very aggressively replace Windows' native filter set with their own, basically telling Windows "Let the program decide for itself which filterset to use!". This can sometimes break games, because the game is expecting the Windows filter set to handle the video/audio, and handle it in a certain way. This way the game doesn't have to actually think about it. If Windows tells a program to choose a filterset, but the program was never DESIGNED to choose a filterset to begin with, then bad things happen. LAV for example still has some issues where in certain situations it can crash when it is called by programs as the filterset.

As such, one last resort solution is to simply delete the opening video (or move it to somewhere outside of the game folder, so you can watch it manually outside of the game, using the media player of your choice). Filters can't mess up when they can't play. :-) You only said you've tried "replacing" the video, so I'm gonna assume you haven't tried deleting it. Then again, if you delete it, then you won't be able to see it when playing the game. Nothing huge of course, since you can play it manually with the player of your choice outside of the game, but there is a possible "proper" solution, if you're a little adventurous. You can download this tool: http://www.codecguide.com/windows7_preferred_filter_tweaker.htm , and then open up the prefered decoders, and make sure everything is set to either "microsoft" or "merit". Setting it to "microsoft" would probably be the best option to try out first, and then if that doesn't work, you can try "merit", though it's possible that that one may not work either. The idea is that setting the filterset to Windows, if it isn't set to it already, may fix the problem because now the game should say "Okay Windows, go handle your video thingy". It may not work, but it's worth a shot if you want, and if all else fails, you can always delete the OP video. Bear in mind though, that making these changes will affect everything else that uses your codecs as well, so use the program with caution. If it breaks everything, then you need to set things back to how they were before you made the changes.

A long response I know, and it may not have been as helpful as you had hoped for, but I hope it was of some use at least. :-)

The swiss I was talking about is one of our staff members, so yes, I was not talking about you. ;-) As for your opening video problem, I need to clarify one thing with you first. Are you aware that the opening video does not, and is not supposed to, play neither when you launch the game, nor when you you start a new game? Many people have thought there was something wrong with their game just because the opening video did not play when they launched the game or when they started playing, but that's not it. It's not supposed to. The video plays around 10-15 minutes into the game. So, you have to start a new game, and then play for a bit, and THEN the video will play, after a little while. ;-)
