My ex, who drove me into staggering debt, just won $100,000 in the lottery.

You for real ? Serious ? ... Dang! Gotta love life's kicks every now and then, that's for damn sure...
Hey now - Local Bubblemakers 442 has been making quality bubblemakers since the late 19th century and I'll be GODDAMN IF MY CHILDRENS PLAY WITH SOME G'DAMN BUBBLE MACHINE WHAT BEEN MADE BY SOME CHINAMEN.
Says John Goodman as Walter Solcheck in The Big Lebowski.
Hey, I rented that recently. Wasn't sure if I wanted to, but I figured you couldn't go wrong with Jeff Bridges (bombs like R.I.P. notwithstanding). It was whacky fun to say the least! Quite the ending with Goodman even botching the spreading of the ashes! Heh.
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/ysinterviews/ysinterviews.htmI guess I have my own rant to add come to think of it for right at this moment. I was just looking at the above HG101 article again where my criminal, backstabbing, libelous, cock-flashing Ys translator, Jeff "DeuceBag" Nussbaum (
https://www.facebook.com/moriyamug ) took an interview with none other than Psycho John Schizomaniak, who as we know is facing a libel lawsuit himself by the Metal Gear Solid 2 translator, Agness Kaku, her husband Pete and Agness' sister, etc. I've been in contact with Pete, heard his side, and I surely do hope John is brought to justice in a French court of law assuming he didn't make it back to the UK since he has dual residences apparently.
So yeah, I was reading that interview again with B.J.DeuceBag, as I feel I have to respond to correct his libel/distortions of history eventually, and just thinking to myself, why oh why didn't I tell the motherf--ker to go f--k himself back in 2002 when I first met him and just stick with Shimarisu/Rachel when it came to having to work with a translator for the Ys I Complete fan translation project
It almost happened too! Events could've turned out differently because of one decision!
B.J.DeuceBag wanted a stipulation that I couldn't edit his translated results without going through him on each edit, and I said "
Well, I'm sorry, but that's too restrictive, I reject such terms; I want to be able to edit at will, get a result like Working Designs or something, combine translations from multiple people to get the best results, etc. I'll have to reject your work and continue with Shimarisu." Unfortunately, the bastard then backed off his demand, so we continued to work on Ys projects ever since! A decision that led to the criminal cheat eventually getting to be credited on 3 official PSP carts and 4 PC Steam releases, this off of my back, my work hours, my sacrifices, my IP/translation software, my technical ideas, etc. only for him to suddenly play stupid (no direct contact) for 3 years (after knowing me for 8 ), taking 100% credit/100% profit from this XSEED Games (
www.xseedgames.com) and even repaying me with a f--king interview like this! I can't contain my utter disgust for him, and I'm so ashamed of myself for not being able to have seen what a monster he was all along, failing to judge his character for what it was! That's something I gotta live with for the rest of my life...
I named this interview "
The $550 Dollar Libel by B.J.DeuceBag, X.X.XSEED's Criminal, Cock-flashing Cunt!" Heh. Here's my rationale in part:
1) It was conducted by Psycho John first of all (
a buddy of Thomas "wyrdwad" Lipschultz), who libeled me before on HG101 himself only for Kurt Kalata to have to delete it cause of his clear cut false stories/lies when it came to dubbing Ys IV. As mentioned, a genuine libel lawsuit was brought against him and will be decided on Sept. 11 :
http://versusjs.blogspot.jp/2) Just as before, I was never contacted by John to confirm/deny/explain anything said about me, I'd have no spot to respond to anything inflammatory, equal time if you will, and this ALMOST made it into a videogame magazine of all things! This garbage would've been printed in an issue of GamesTM, but thank God somebody left it on the cutting room floor as I'm sure John lobbied for its inclusion!
3) Despite DeuceBag's claims, I continued with Ys projects, there was only one left, Ys Origin, and I prepared a copy of my Translation Station software with additional enhancements to give him full control/editing/testing and run-time script dumping for better translating. A nice investment for him that also paid off with XSEED Games once again! True, it took some weeks for me to do it, I thought I was going to quit at the time but he begged, offered to pay me even, but in the end it was a 75/25% royalty split agreement if I'd make a payware version out of it. Anyway, he's instead got me plotting endlessly for "years" regarding the Felghana patch leaker, a wild distortion, when he knows that I simply had to quit fan translation projects for years, worry about offline matters, get my priorities straight. I had a remodeling project that cost me $20,000 that I was working on, and this a$$hole puts my history down as just chasing the leaker around, time not in years, but 2-3 weeks back in 2007 and a few days 2 years later! His whole f--king speech here is a "message" to me to rationalize him punishing and cheating me with XSEED. He's exaggerating time, playing up what he knew was a bluff, all to demonize and justify his secret breaking of agreements on Ys Origin, and ultimately cheating me when it came to XSEED Games. At this point, he's playing silent with me a year later after the first XSEED deal.
4) Back in 2007, after he got married we were talking about life and so forth, I also learned of his prior bankruptcy, etc., well, I decided to give him $550 via Paypal... LITERALLY, 2ND GREATEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! Hell, I look at this interview and I wonder what the motherf--ker would've said if I had NOT done that!!! Wow! I knew this f--king a$$hole for 8 years, talked with his wife even when my father had died, thought he was a "friend" but I can see now that that wasn't a mutual view and he didn't even bat an eye when it came to stepping on me the way that he did! His response to all this now is: "Cry me a river."
Ultimately, I paid/subsidized/funded in full this disgusting hit piece/interview both in blood/sweat and money! a) The $550 direct to this callous, criminal, cock-flashing cunt, and b) the thousands of work hours from 2002 to 2007, across 5 years, for Japanese script extraction/preparation of Ys I & II Complete, Felghana, Ys Origin, etc, the technical ideas to even make possible translating ~1500 separate script files feasible/doable and reflected in custom software I call Translation Station, etc. All of which led to the success of him getting to sneak into my software one last time, and port the translated results to XSEED Games, get paid 100%, get credited 100%, then play stupid with me for 3 years, only to come out of hiding and threaten ME with a libel lawsuit after I went public with the full story!
Imagine, at the time of this interview, it's like a year after the May 15, 2010 Felghana deal with XSEED Games, he's getting away with it, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with a commercial entity that he's essentially stealing all for himself without a 2nd thought, meanwhile I'm too disgusted to ever directly contact him either, I'm trying to forget that it happened, but this motherf--ker decides to add to the injustice, to compound it with this libelous interview that could've made it into a videogame magazine in print! "
I've cheated this guy, I pretty much have gotten away with it, I know, lemme trash him in an interview for a gaming magazine to boot! Brilliant! He'll never get to respond or correct anything! History will be what I say it is!!" WHAT A GUY!
You can surely bet if I won that $100,000 that John's ex did, the first item on the spending agenda would be for a lawsuit to him, and to Thomas "wyrdwad" Lipschultz and Ken Berry of XSEED Games, the other criminal cheating and bigoted cunts in this whole affair!
