    Old topic: enlarged textures with Engrish?

    OK, need helping finding an old topic, since search does nothing.

    I seem to recall, maybe 5 or 6 or 7 years ago, a topic on here where someone, possible Yakumo, set up a DC to their PC via... I think VGA? And they were playing some game (I forget which, an action game, with robots?), and they took screen grabs of the background textures, which featured English.

    But when we all read it, it became obvious the developer had basically retyped the English instructions from their office supplies or something, since it was kind of Engrish, but mostly said stuff like: store out of direct sunlight and away from humidity.

    It was fascinating, and hilarious.

    Does this topic still exist? Am I imagining it? I swear it's somewhere amidst the millions of topics this site archives.

    Any one remember it?

    I don't remember that, but they started purging old topics without recent replies a while ago. It probably went the same way. We lost some other classic threads with that too.

      Oh man.

      That thread was epic and extraordinary. I mean, where else could one find such obscure info?

      It wasn't even Engrish either, it was the developer wanting to have English characters, perhaps because in their minds it had an exotic or militaristic quality, and then they simply copied the English from any available sources - presumably the inside sleeve of a CD-R.

      Ahh well... Maybe it's just buried somewhere.

        I wonder if there's an archive of it somewhere? Most of the links are dead on this one and those that work are only top level...



        On a barely related note, there was that Swedish couple who got married in the Maldives only to be racially abused by the member of staff posing as a priest. He used the wording of an internal contract for the marriage vows!

          That wasn't me mate. I did make a few VGA Dreamcast screen shots but nothing like you are thinking about or at least I don't think so.
