sanahtlig Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Announcer: It’s a beautiful day for baseball today in Eroge Stadium. I’m your host Sanahtlig here to provide commentary for Visual Novel Translation TV. Today the Localizers play against the Fan Translators in a special Western League All-Star game. This should be an interesting matchup. On the Localizers team we have representatives from Mangagamer including the rising star Kouryuu, as well as veterans from JAST USA including the well known Peter Payne. The Fan Translators are a truly diverse bunch of big names playing together for the first time ever. We have Ixrec from Amaterasu, Moogy from TLWiki, Haeleth, and Aaeru from Fuwanovel. It’ll be interesting to see how they interact as a team. The Localizers are up to bat first. But there seems to be a delay. The first batter from Mangagamer appears to have brought a large stick instead of a bat! He seems to be arguing with the umpire. Let’s listen in. Umpire: You can’t just waltz in here with a stick for a bat. Go borrow a real bat from one of the JAST players! Mangagamer player: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US! Umpire: WTF? Announcer: The Mangagamer player just took off and started running the bases before the game even started! What is he doing??? We’ll be back after a word from our sponsors. [Commercial] VNDB, a compendium of visual novel knowledge, by you, for you: an oasis where you can request visual novel recommendations, speak freely, and engage in enlightened discussions. Please click our affiliates so we don't go broke! 5 min later Announcer: We’re back, and this time Peter Payne is up to bat with 1 out and 1 expelled player. Here’s the pitch and—it’s a hit! Wait, what is he doing? He’s just standing there! Let’s zoom in for a closer look. On close examination, Peter is actually shuffling towards 1st base so slow it’s barely perceptible from a distance. He makes it a few feet before being tagged out by the catcher. That’s two outs folks. Up to bat next is Kouryuu, Mangagamer’s newest darling. Here’s the pitch and—it’s a line drive. This— At that moment the microphone fades out. The game ensues soundless until a member from Mangagamer finally strikes out, ending the round. We’re back at Eroge Stadium. We apologize for the technical difficulties. A member from Mangagamer barged in and carried off the microphone, claiming we didn’t have rights to broadcast audio during their lineup. We’re assured now that the problem has been cleared up. The Localizers are taking to the field. Wait, what is this? Mangagamer’s players have taken to the field without clothes! This isn’t baseball, this is pornography! Outrageous! JAST’s entire bench has rushed onto the field to subdue them. They appear to be re-clothing the Mangagamer players—is that 2 bras I see??? We’ll be back after a commercial break. [Commercial] Mangagamer staff A: Somebody set us up the bomb! Mangagamer staff B: What you say?! *Screen flash and booming sound* There’s a picture of a box set of 3 games, priced at $150. A tag in the corner of the screen reads “no voice”. Narrator: Shin Koihime Musou! Otanoshimini! 5 min later Announcer: We’re back and the game looks ready to resume. First up to bat is Haeleth, the oldest member on the team and a true league veteran. He seems to be getting some boos from the audience…hmm? Haeleth just threw down his bat and walked out of the stadium! Amazing! Looks like the Fan Translators are down one member! Next up to bat is Moogy. Moogy is known for his often uncomplimentary remarks for his fellow players. Moogy steps up to bat and—he seems to be shouting something at the Fan Translator dug out. He’s throwing down his bat and…he just walked out into the field? He seems to have joined the Localizers! What an unexpected development! Next up is Ixrec. This guy is a monster folks; he has the highest RBI in the entire league. Here’s the pitch, and—it’s a hard hit to right field! Peter Payne scrambles for the ball…what is he doing? Is he riding a wheelchair in the grass? Why is he in a wheelchair?! Ixrec scores! And he’s running around the bases again! Look at him go! One of the umpires from the Japanese league, Age, has grabbed Ixrec and is trying to stop him! Oh my, Ixrec just kicked Age in the balls and is running the bases again! Unbelievable! We’ll be back after a commercial break. [Commercial] JAST USA is proud to announce the best hentai dating sim ever, Lightning Warrior Raidy 3! Play the role of a cute swordswoman as she fights creepy tentacle monsters and devilish vixens with her new lesbian fusion powers! Coming to a store near you in 2018! 10 min later Announcer: We’re back. Age has left the game, and I doubt we’ll see him back for another Western League game in the near future. We have a Fan Translator on 1st base from a single up the middle. Next up is Aaeru. A relative newcomer, Aaeru doesn’t seem to be getting along too well with her fellow Fan Translators. But in this game it’s results that count, which I’m sure Aaeru will show us today. Here comes the pitch…it’s a fast line drive to left field! That’s a base hit! Wait! Aaeru appears to making a beeline for 3rd base! What is she doing?! She’s stopped on 3rd base and doesn’t seem to be budging. It appears that she’s decided to run the bases in reverse order! What are the umpires doing?! The other Fan Translators are snickering, but no one seems to be stopping her. That leaves a player each on 2nd and 3rd base. Next up to bat is…Moogy? Did he switch sides again?! It’s probably best not to think too hard about this. Here’s the pitch—and it’s a pop up to right field! Peter goes for the ball—and his wheelchair tips over! The Fan Translators are running the bases and—Aaeru just collided with her fellow Fan Translator! Who would've seen that coming?! She’s getting up, and-- Mangagamer 3rd baseman: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US! Announcer: The Mangagamer 3rd baseman just clubbed her over the head with 3rd base! Ouch! Moogy runs up to her and…he’s kicking her while she’s down! I don’t know who’s the greater bastard: Aaeru, the Mangagamer 3rd baseman, or Moogy! Ixrec runs out of the dugout—he’s running the bases again! Someone catch him! What the hell??? The Mangagamer players are stripping again! Peter is still crawling out in right field towards the ball! This is utter chaos folks! It’s a wacky free-for-all today in Eroge Stadium. I’ve never seen such incredible dysfunction in all my days as an Eroge Stadium broadcaster. Will Moogy stop kicking Aaeru? Will Mangagamer stop turning this into a live porn event? Will Ixrec leave any points for anyone else? Will Peter ever get the damn ball? Stay tuned to Visual Novel Translation TV! In the meantime, let's get some comments from the stadium audience. Kaguya, Down, arakura and 4 others 7 Quote
Mephisto Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 That was actually pretty funny for some reason. I just hope it is received as satire since this could potentially hurt some feelings. Quote
harry_kinomoto Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 here's harry_kinomoto, general all-purpose ball-fan and semi-chuunibyou demon lord... I totally called this from happening but that doesn't mean I'm any less disappointed.... I mean ffs, you people are of course aware that all these people were actually coming from THE SAME TEAM at first - and people tend to get so hecked up over the rules of the game and the umpires and all that but really, I think if all this unnecessary competition hadn't come to rear its ugly head I think we may well be seeing a very different kind of baseball.... Because you see, I think I speak for most everyone else in the audience when I say I'm less concerned about who wins in the end as opposed to the fact that the ball is actually flippin' hit at the end of the day. At the end of the day, people don't care about anything about the game, or even the players - all they want is that the ball is hit in such a way that they understand the magnitude of moe that hits them when their waifu/husbando comes on screen. Honestly though, how an action as simple as hitting a ball became a competitive sport is quite beyond me; because in this game I think its the balls that are the most interesting and I think a lot of people who are in this business agree with me. The process of ball-making is beautifully complex and touches on a lot of things that are art forms in their own right. Of course, hitting balls is no easy task in itself (anyone who disagrees obviously hasn't seen Ixrec's ball-hitting manuals) and I have a great respect for those who try, but it is the beauty of the ball - and everything in it - that draws in the fans. I honestly regret that this has all been lost to some mindless sport, and believe that if the players could bear to look away from this for only the slightest moment, a lot more people would come to know the beauty of these balls. tl;dr: if the world was a happier place, we'd be able to move more balls. That is all! Quote
Tay Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 And there's Tay up in the nosebleed section, holding a sign. It reads: John 22:13 MAKE LOVE GAMES, NOT HORCRUXES! Awesome work. Loving it. Seriously. Hope to see more! Quote
Steve Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 That double bra got me xD And Aaeru too Suddenly someone yells from the audience. "Why are you using 5 year old balls?! There is a box of completely new balls over there! They flash when in the air and all~" Quote
Guest Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 no way should i even be on the field, all the other players are translators and im mostly just an underground distributor. and as we know, underground distributors are the most hated ones in society. does not even compare. Quote
Beato Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Aaeru is obviously running around on the field with a ray-gun, duplicating the balls and giving them to the audience. harry_kinomoto 1 Quote
Wahfuu Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Wouldn't MangaGamer be video taping themselves stripping? And then try to sell said video tapes online?! For food coupons?! Quote
sanahtlig Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 I made a few small changes and posted on VNDB. The commercials are an opportunity for further satire (I could slip in something along the lines of Wahfuu's suggestion there, although I thought a Shin Koihime Musou advertisement would be more amusing). This'll probably remain a single "story" since quite a lot of real tie-ins are needed to maintain the density of "content" required for satire. I'd originally planned an NNL player (gipface), but the role would be too similar to Ixrec / Moogy (arguing with the Japanese and "changing sides"). I might add this as a commercial. Quote

Wahfuu Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Can you make a commercial advertising the DRM? I am no where near witty enough for this. EDIT: NVM I TRIED Quote
Wahfuu Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Wahfuu here with the live fan report. It looks like.. the fans seem to be getting upset! Not only is this baseball game not using the type of baseballs they wanted, they don't even like baseball! Infact, they hate baseball! No idea why they keep coming here, but it looks like they're throwing crap at.. well, everyon! And-- Yes, yes, it looks like they are indeed throwing stuff at each-other now! Typemoon fans are fighting Nitro+ fans! They cannot seem to decide who is darker and edgier! Fascinating stuff, really-- And look! The key fans are fighting.. well, themselves! Nobody can decide who is the best key girl. Quote

Darklord Rooke Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I signed up after this and completely missed it. Awesome piece of satire which deserves to be resurrected :3 Quote

Kaguya Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Oh. I checked GD a lot of times for hidden gold like this, yet I never managed to find this thread until now... Thanks for reviving it, I guess~ Quote
Down Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Reading this again now that I know the names of all the players involved makes it much more funny Quote
Zakamutt Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I remember seeing this ages ago on vndb, though I think you expanded it since then... that or it was from this thread anyway, but I never posted in it delicious history, delicious satire. Quote
