It happened. I was in touch with the husband of the Metal Gear Solid 2 translator and they were sure about his residence and having started the lawsuit properly.http://versusjs.blogspot.jp/They even let me post my story about my experiences with him, always happy to lend a helping hand to a guy like John. He blocked me on his Kickstarter page too. Heh-heh. I just shared my glee about the lawsuit against him, told him I posted my story, and he reported me to the mods, so I got blocked. Jeez! I didn't really know what was actually going on with this guy. I know Nightwolve had some kind of beef with the guy, and that the MGS2 translator did was well but didn't know specifics. I have only watched about half of the DVD as I just get a bad vibe from the guy. Wish we could remove him from the DVD and insert someone else through CG. I applaud the guy's love for the industry that we obviously love just as much. I just wish the man would get some help. This is ridiculous.Send me DVD, I'LL PAY SHIPPING.

Read through the first few pages of the book yesterday. It's like reading the unibomber manifesto interspersed with REALLY AWESOME developer interviews. It's kind of insane and looks like it's going to be a really good read.

Cry cryLike most Kickstarter books, it'll be available on Amazon soon enough (he said it was going up for sale after all backers receive their copies). There's no real clear advantage to being a book backer any more, except that you might get it a month earlier than everyone else:http://www.amazon.com/Untold-History-Japanese-Game-Developers/dp/0992926009/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1408740979&sr=1-3
Instead he went with THIS? I'd feel so uncomfortable reading the book in public...
Ok I don't know if I am being nit picky or just a dick but this is his DVD case art? It is fugly....why couldn't he just use a tastefully black and white picture of an actual developers studio from that time period that would have been much more eye catching...
