.hack//G.U.

I'm on my spring break(we call it reading week here, just so that they can make us feel guilty about the whole thing). This is my first and last spring break... It's my first cuz our university had a tradition that math/engineering students don't get any spring breaks(and the tradition was broken last November), it's my last cuz I'm graduating this term...

And what's a better time to do some hack GUing. I just finished it yesterday... Without spoiling you anything, I'll just say it's god damn good. Cool Maybe I should play it again sometime...

My only complaint is that it felt really short... it took me about 30 hours to finish the main plot of Vol 3. One of my greatest achievements is that I was able to make Azure Kite say something other than "......" Laughing

The attached song is the ending theme of Volume 3. And here are the lyrics. It sure is a beautiful song(must've been tough to come up with three good ending theme songs for all three volumes)... The picture is the wallpaper I'm using on my Altimit OS desktop, thought it fits the song really well. Laughing

優しくキミは微笑んでいた

遠い記憶 かすかに香る
優しくキミは 微笑んでいた
見えない枷に 気付かないまま
キミに甘えて 苦しめてたね

誰よりも愛して 誰よりも見つめた

ずっと ずっと離れていても
変わらずキミを思ってるから
キミの温もり 優しい両手
忘れないから

キミがいない 事に慣れて
たまに会えると 言葉が出なくて
黙っていても 通じ合うって
キミに頼って ばかりいたね

もう戻らない 振り返らないから
背中を押して 踏み出す勇気を下さい

もっと もっと強くなるから
泣かないように 見守っていて
キミの眼差し 優しい声
思い出に変えるから

キミがくれた 大切なもの
ずっと心に しまっておくから
季節は巡る キミがいなくても
セピア色に染まってゆくよ

誰よりも信じて 誰よりも側に居た

きっと きっと越えられるから
遠回りかもしれないけれど
未来はきっと 明るいから
信じて進むから

もっと もっと強くなるから
泣かないように見守っていて
キミの眼差し 優しい声
思い出に変えるから

遠い記憶 かすかに香る
優しくキミは微笑んでいた

This means you have to find a job soon (unless you've got one already). And then find a girl. And then work more. :-D But it's graduate school that really stays with you when you're older.

I just cant take it any longer. Have mercy...I need my weekly sumomomo dose. Please....I am begging on my knees! *snüff*

Buhaeaeaeaeae!!! *rolingonthefloor*

LOL. Leechers sure make funny comments when they're desperate for something they feel Lu owes them. Won't they ever learn?

I couldn't care less whether he continues subbing or not. I appreciate all the work he's done so far in introducing English people to a hilarious show and I wouldn't blame him if he stopped due to all the whining and pleading he's getting from some of the idiots above.


Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on February 25, 2007 - 11:45.

Funny comments are short... like this...

Unlike stupid comments, which always long, dun even borther to read it...

Be responsible, pls keep subbing. If you need help, let us know, we'll help you. Dun let this subbing die off because of some of the idiots above, literally above...


Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on February 25, 2007 - 12:03.

@Anonymous: If you want him to "be responsible", PAY HIM. You get what you pay for. You're paying nothing. Don't expect anything.

I'm sure he's got more important things to worry about than appeasing demanding leechers. Also, nothing is stopping you from making your own releases; especially since you say you can "help him".

I'm at home during the spring break, so I'm away from my computer. I can't do anything until I get back to campus.

P.S. I don't respond well to demands and orders, so I'll probably feel more responsible(maybe even a little bit of guilt) if no one mentioned anything. Then again, you are free to continue if you like, there is no rule against it(I do welcome it, in fact, so that I don't feel too bad about the delay). Laughing



Submitted by LuperryFan (not verified) on February 25, 2007 - 15:57.

Enjoy your break. Don't feel guilty. Enjoy the hell out of that .hack OST. I love that OST.

As always, sub because you have fun doing it; not because you have to meet the demands of anonymous drones who could care less about you.

P.S. What's worse than idiot leechers are idiot leechers who try to make demands under the guise of altruistic pretense. "We'll help you"?... what a load of BS. Either put up or shut up.

Hmm... you should include like an episode status in your site. Like at what point you are on the episode (translating,typsetting,encoding,etc.). Or something like that lol,

@Sakubo: a friend of mine asked me to translate it, so I might as well just post it here as well.

The Gentle You Were Smiling

far away memory, faint fragrance
the gentle you were smiling
without noticing the invisible shackles
I was depending on your kindness, it must've been painful

I love you more than anyone, I gazed at you more than anyone

even if I'll be away from you forever
I will be thinking about the never changing you
your warmth, and your gentle hands
I won't forget them

I have gotten used to my surroundings without you
when I see you occasionally, words can't come out
even in silence, I understood you
I was relying on you all the time

we can't go back anymore, nothing will return
pat me on the back, give me the strength to make my next step

I will become ever stronger
please look after me, so that I won't cry
your look, and your gentle voice
I'll turn them into memories

the precious thing you've given me
I'll lock it away in my heart
the seasons go around, even when you are not here
everything is being dyed in sepia

I believe in you more than anymore, I stayed beside you more than anymore

I will surpass everything
though I might just return to where I am now
I'm sure the future will be bright
believe in it and move on

I will become ever stronger
please look after me, so that I won't cry
your look, and your gentle voice
I'll turn them into memories

far away memory, faint fragrance
the gentle you were smiling

@Skeith The Terror Of Death: there are times when I'm just being sarcastic, then there are times when I feel it's a waste of time and energy to get too emotional(some may call it arrogance), and the other times I would snap too(though those are typically real life situations). Laughing

or maybe I'm just getting really old, someone told me my psychological age is about 40 something... sure miss the time when my age started with "1"... and when my age was in single digit... Frown

wait a minute, AK actually talks? =o i didn't see that part....argh, so lame.

So which "couple" ending did you get? XDDDD
and such a good game, though the ending probably feels a bit unsatisfying for some.

@Anonymous: hmm... he didn't actually talk. he replied my email after his friendship indicator(or whatever you call it) turned pink, and with 4 dots revolving around it(basically the second highest level).

I think I asked him "what kind of girl do you like?", and he replied "...@U#" Laughing

there are multiple endings? @_@ well, I got the one with Atoli. then there was another ending with Shino after I cleared the pain forest event, which was a real pain in the *** even with three 150 level characters(had Sakubo and Atoli with me, since physical attacks don't work that well on the monsters in pain forest, Azure Kite died three times on the first battle in pain forest...).
