I wonder what else they all read.

It'd be more interesting if they stepped in from the darkness and posted in the various message boards from time to time. LURK LESS, POAST MOAR.

He also edits the trope page, mostly to correct 'Frieza' to 'Freeza'.

^^^ Well, can't say I blame them for not posting. I'd feel uncomfortable interacting with fans who are gushing over my work.

Though they could do it anonymously, but then that sort of defeats the point.

Arha, you think we gush? Have you seen us? We're unpleasable, unpleasant curmudgeons.

...Ah. Maybe they shouldn't post then.

#19384: May 16th 2016 at 11:38:27 PM

I know we don't gush here. Not exactly. We were pretty critical of the last movie, after all. However, if one of the actual writers showed up a lot of people would begin acting like fans. I find it difficult to believe a creator can openly walk among their fans and just be accepted as another part of the community. Maybe I just have some kind of social phobia or something but that doesn't sound like something I'd want to go out of my way to be a part of. It sounds tiresome.

Well, anyway, I assume we were referenced or something somewhere? Where did that happen?

After a while you as a fan can and will get over it...the intense feelings.

Or as a fan can be rational enough to not have them to begin with...

Kaiser mentioned it in the newest episode of the TFS podcast. About the parallels between Guru and Wheelo on the characters page. He seemed to really like it. He says sometimes we come up with things even they didn't think about.

Now I'm thinking about it, I don't know if he's necessarily watching this forum. But he definitely seems to be watching the main page.

I'm almost kind of surprised he mentioned it. If I had an active sub-section of my fanbase analysing my stuff and coming up with really good insight, I'd try to keep it a secret that I was watching them. That way, there's no pressure.

Kaiser is an active member on the Kanzenshuu forum and regularly posts in their Abridged thread. It's really not a big deal there and he interacts with the majority of posters just fine.

I guess there it was sort of inevitable, given I think he actually MADE that thread. He's got an account there and everything.

It's just that...like, there was another thread a while ago there about DBZ Youtubers and then the DBZ Youtubers started posting and replying to comments and I was like "No! You ruined it! People are going to act so differently now they know they're being directly listened to!"

But the more I think about it, the more I'm realising he's almost definitely not watching this thread, just the tropes page. People would update that regardless. And I'm getting off-topic.

Well...in the podcast, they also mentioned the Buu Saga is going to be really goofy. Like, Season 3 is probably going to be pretty serious until the end, but Season 4 is just going to be them going crazy with the humour. It sounds like they're going to actually change things.

What do you guys think about that?

@Adric: Eh, guy is a guy tongue If Ego Raptor showed out of nowhere and ask my opinion on his videos, I'd still say that I don't like his videos even though guy is internet celebrity.

Also, a lot of people who do videos on Internet post in tvt forums at times for some reason, I dunno why though

That review reminded me how much I love this gag.

  • Ox-King: “So, is dinner happening?”
  • Chi-Chi: “Will dinner bring my husband back!?”
  • Ox-King: “Maybe?!”

XD Ox-King is reaching but, to be fair, if anything would bring Goku back....

EDIT: Oh and holy fuck Kaiser actually IS reading stuff here. He flat out said it. One of Us!

Neat. Clearly it's because he values my opinion. After all, I'm a guy who says stuff on the internet. Who wouldn't be enthralled?

He also edits the trope page, mostly to correct 'Frieza' to 'Freeza'.

Which is actually fair. Ordinarily, our policy is that the official English translation trumps the original Japanese on the wiki, but in this particular case, there is no original Japanese version of TFS's Dragon Ball Abridged. Frieza may be the official English translation for the source material, but this gag,

  • FREEZA: It's pronounced, "Freeza."
  • TRUNKS: Then why is there an 'I' in it?
  • FREEZA: There's not.

clearly established that "Freeza" is the canonized spelling of Abridged Frieza's name. Spelling it Frieza on the Abridged page is like insisting on using male pronouns for Dodoria; accurate to the source material but not for the parody.

It might not have a character transfer feature.

Like. It might transfer who the character you played as was, but. You might not be able to play as them again. You just have a giant statue of them.

Also, Taka might not be able to voice in it again. I dunno. It depends. They might not invite him and the guys.

I assume you're talking about the announcement of Xenoverse 2.

Which will hopefully mean The New Adventures of Dumplin and the Dairy Squad.
