and here I am playing and enjoying KOTOR on my phone.
I can't bring my XBOX and play it on a 6 hour flight to Hawaii.
You're going to Hawaii so I can't say I feel too bad for you.
After man

What did you expect? Most kids shows follow some episodic formula, making seeing more than two episodes a waste of time.
I'm bored, can we insult each other for a while?
Those aren't insults, those are your itty bitty feelings. Go play with your dolls or something, you wimp.

author=CorfaisusThey sure do. That doesn't make this any less mysterious to me.
Any life up until the age of 15. Teenagers do some profoundly stupid things.
My guess is they were locked in a basement watching Japanese kids shows
until they were let out to make this video.

What kind of life do you have to live to arrive at the exact spot where you think making the first video is a good idea?

That's a gross over-exaggeration and you know it. Many games translate into different mediums pretty well, since they have their own in-game culture rather than a reference to pop culture every two lines. Yes, often games do reflect the culture they originated in, and yes, in such games, a scene sometimes has to be changed in order to convey the same message in another culture. So what? Praise the localization team for putting in effort to create an experience that is enjoyable outside of Japan, don't bash them for not being a glorified Google Translate.
Yeah it's a bit of an exaggeration, I was mostly having fun with that picture. But it's the general feeling I get from alot of localizations. I want a glorified google translate. I don't mind cultural differences in my games/videos. Why should I praise some asshat that change it from the way the original gamemakers wanted the game to be represented?
It's one thing in childrens cartoons and similar, but in stuff meant for reasonably intelligent people? No thanks.

In theory it's a good thing to localize a little bit. In practice, 9/10 times, they dumb it down or straight out change the whole meaning of a scene.
I don't want dumbed down shit. I am capable of looking something up if I don't understand some cultural difference.
Edit: Sometimes it's impossible to keep the original meaning though, like jokes that are plays on words etc. Fine, change those.
EditEdit: Here's a normal localization.
