I personally detest this man,
he's vile, bigoted, fanatical, arrogant, just plain disgusting, and would never give him a dime, no matter the cause... Hate to see him actually raise money, but oh well. To me, this is Psycho John Schizomaniak (and NOTHING more), as I prefer to refer to him... I'll happily elaborate on my feelings here...
See, Psycho John was responsible for spreading 1) the lie that I was trying to stop Ys IV from ever being dubbed, and 2) the bizarre claim that I was trying to specifically make
just the Ys IV text patch disappear from the Internet a couple of years ago...
It was right when I met GeeMac32bit and announced a 2nd Ys IV dubbing project attempt that he immediately wrote this big hit-piece about me on HardcoreGaming 101's blog section. He had Communist Hammer & Sickle images mixed in with the Ys IV title screen among other things and was attacking my criticisms for freeloading and so forth. But like the utter f--king incompetent moron that he is, his opening claim of me trying to make my Ys IV patch disappear was preceded by a link to my website and as soon as you'd click it, you would see a Download panel with the Ys IV patch RIGHT F--KING THERE! So I contacted Kurt Kalata, the owner of HardcoreGaming 101 and pointed all this out to him, LIKE WHAT THE F--K WITH THIS GUY and he deleted MOST of
that f*cking page - it's right here - and mildly apologized for him!! The a$$hole could never do it himself. The first paragraph issues a weak correction "We apologize for the error" but good enough.
Unfortunately, because of this f*cking a$$hole, I still have other a$$holes specifically claiming I was trying to make the Ys IV patch disappear in this 2008 early '09 time period. In fact, there's somebody *right now* on the Neo Geo Forums making this very claim, and it's all because of this *f--khead* right here, his complete lack of desire to fact-check a damn thing (ONE f*ckING EMAIL TO ME WAS TOO HARD!) and the respect/influence/reach of HardcoreGaming 101!!!!
Recently, he ripped BurntLasagna's head off in a fit of rage because of what I dared to write about the bastard in the Ys IV Dub ReadMe concerning that incident and how BL was supposed to have swooped down and censored my comments for him! His reputation was being "slandered" you see, something that was OK to do to me a couple of years prior... He's such a thin-skinned menace, that for the 3 sentences of what I wrote, he threatened BL, claiming he was gonna "contact the authorities" if his name and the GamesTM/HG101 references to where he's worked weren't removed! Unfortunately, BL was successfully intimidated by this f*cking low life and asked me to agree to remove the f*cker's name from the ReadMe...
Context for all this ? It goes back to '08, I had lost my web space, and I was using a free, single page provided by Microsoft at the time as I had explained in the first post on the page. People asked me mostly about where to get the PC patches and a few months later after realizing I could use MediaFire to freely host them, I uploaded them and provided the links. That was on
June 2008, a post that was like this. On December, 6 months later, I uploaded Ys IV and Xak III... Unfortunately, this piece of shit f*cking a$$hole was apparently looking for the Ys IV patch in November and naturally didn't find it on my page. He, in all his brilliance, concluded this was a plot on my part to get rid of my least valuable patches while continuing to host my more valuable PC patches (Ys I & II Complete etc.) if you can figure that out...
So long story short, and a recap, I added those NEC patches in Dec '08, they weren't in demand, so yes, I took my sweet time, I meet up with GeeMac32bit in '09, announce another dubbing project attempt, and then the very next day, he immediately writes a hit piece about me on HG101 about how I'm trying to make the Ys IV patch disappear from the Internet and trying to STOP GeeMac! I contact Kurt Kalata, he deletes most of it, apologizes, and the bastard in question was never heard from again, that is, until BL and I finished the dub patch late last year in 2012 and he saw what I wrote in the ReadMe about what he did '09... So what did I write that he had such a meltdown over ? This:
... I cautiously posted about the good news on my site, but for my troubles, the very next day, I was “rewarded” by an Ys “F.A.N.” that popped up over at HG101, a John Szczepaniak (Sketcz), some hack who works at a UK Gaming Mag (GamesTM), who made a blog post claiming that I was trying to make all of my Ys patches disappear and that I was actually trying to stop, NOT help, GeeMac32bit! That was Sketcz's “donation” to me for my announcement, the proud member of the “99%” that he is... Heh. All I can say is, be afraid, be very afraid, that someone like this has a job at a gaming magazine doing “reporting” of any kind.
So that's the paragraph above that Johnny boy couldn't handle, being so unable to take a taste of his own medicine, and he wanted to "contact the authorities" to get it deleted if either BL or myself didn't do it!! Yeah, I forgot, that was the other completely made-up claim, that was I trying to stop GeeMac32, who didn't have ANY tools, or knowledge and was simply trying to make dubs for use on Youtube so you could watch all the voice acting scenes there... That was his idea before I contacted him and announced we'd be working together to actually put the dubs IN the game, you know, so that people would actually give a shit, etc.. Nobody was gonna play the f*cking game and then run to Youtube for the translation... But yeah, according to Psycho John, I was trying to STOP the guy!
So yeah, he's a lazy, incompetent, lying hack that runs his mouth before bothering to check his facts and will outright lie about someone that he hates! Plain and simple! Never ONCE did he fire off an email to me to check ANYTHING before "reporting" it... That's what you're dealing with here! As far as I'm concerned, he can f*cking choke on a sword! Period. This is an above-average, arrogant, lying a$$hole and I don't give a f*ck about his work. He thinks his accomplishments, like the Ys article he did for the GamesTM magazine, should totally protect him from criticism, mine in particular, but it's hypocritically OK to assault my character because he's a "journalist" and blah blah, etc. Forget it, I'm not gonna explain the logic he was employing there, but you get the idea.
Anyway, f*ck this f*cking piece of shit!
f*ck HIM! Pardon my French! I never finished
my op-ed here of him, but I still should eventually! I never properly returned the favor for what he did, interfering 2 times in the Ys IV dubbing project. Both times was when he reared his butt-ugly f*cking head to cause drama with me! You should see the vile he wrote about me in another forum (AND against BurntLasagna) and it was at "romhacking hacks.net" where he declared his support for cracking protected patches so he can always get them for free! It's safe to assume he supports the GameFAQs a$$hole, Pruvmerong, that leaked my Felghana patch in 2007.
So, we need to give some goon on the internet money to go hopefully interview people who he may not even be able to locate and talk to?
Yeah.
No.
"Goon" sums it up.
