R.I.P "Working Designs"
~ 1986 - 2005 ~
Our Love Will Burn Forever
From Cadash and Exile on the Turbo Grafx-16
To Lunar and Vay on the Sega CD
There was Dragon Force, Magic Knight Rayearth and Shining Wisdom for the Saturn
The glory days arrived on the Playstation: Alundra, Arc the Lad Collection, Lunar Series to completion, Raystorm and RayCrisis brought forth my joy, ThunderForce V and finally Vanguard Bandits.
But now those days are no more, and they shall never return. My heart is cold but deep within me I know that in time I shall come to avenge you.
Your premature death was a black mark on the soul of this industry, and the fiends responsible for it shall be brought justice.
Do not walk down any dark alleys Sony, for I shall be waiting.
Clark, I don't think anyone knows who Working Designs was. Only you (and me after the lengthy history lesson yesterday) know of such an obscure thing, and you've succeeded in confusing everyone.
But for those wondering, Working Designs didn't actually make any of the games Clark has listed. Instead, they were responsible with translating them and bringing them to North America. Back in the day, they were pretty much the only company around that bothered to give half a thought to actually doing a good translation from Japanese to English. Plus they gave cool extras as well.
Unfortunately Sony put up a ton of roadblocks and tried to stop Working Designs from getting the publishing rights to games, which eventually killed them off (at this point of the lecture, Clark's eyes became alight with fire, and he pounded his fist upon a random desk with authority).
So yes, Clark's right, we are all worse off because of this, and we should all feel ashamed for not knowing who they are.
um im back....? nobody even knows who i am i suppose but its good to catch up on mr clarks fanfic i mean, in my opinion soulguards fanfic is a teensy weensy better than scorptanks(not too many people dare to say this kind of thing plz dont hurt my family) here are a few examples:
1. Scorptank's fanfic has a lot more swearing.
2. The Master Chief is a whiny b.i.t.c.h. who can't control his temper.
3. Scorptank killed 200 hundred ships in two paragraphs.( I yelled and kicked my dog when I read that part.)
4. Scorptank made Cortana a dumba$$ when she said,"'I say a fifty-fifty chance that he’s actually encountered enemy ships, or that he’s just stressed. You’re right,' Cortana said. 'You can’t reach the entire fleet in this space, but try to reach as many as you can, tell them to go to emergency situation Alpha 1.'”(I mean come on! She's an A.I. for crying out loud! If the guy was trying getting to get a message through to them, then that should have been a que right?!?!?)
5. ‘Inomee is too honorable. He should have sent some worthless flyboy instead.(I'm a coward.)
6. I hate it when the good guys lose...
An example,"'What’s up, Chief?' James inquired as he slung his weapon across his shoulder.
'We just lost the fleet.' The Master Chief replied in an even voice."(I still sniffle when I read that part...)
DON'T HURT MY FAMILY FOR BEING A CRITIC!
