Ok it turns out this is not a unused track after all. This track is used in the beginning of the Guilin chapter for the Dreamcast version. I labeled this "unused" because I was using the Xbox port as a reference. If you listen and compare both versions it's obvious they are not the same.

Yea I don't care for the name either but its better then having a fallout zone in the middle of the the area I grew up in.

Talking about puzzle games reminded me how Bust a move 4 for the dreamcast has some pretty weird cover art.




The Japanese version is a lot better, it actually looks like the game. :P

Hate the paper itself but it's the only article I could find with a video.

I was having a good day until i saw that. Cheers.

I'll leave this here in the hope that it helps restore some of your faith in humanity.

So I sniffed this place out for a while and realised that things have changed.

There's less negativity than before. Less bitching, it seems. Think i'll stick around for a while.

I'm sure you've all missed me, fellas.

am I the only one who thinks they fucked up ryo's face in all star racing? also he seems to have lost a lot of muscle, I guess all time time waiting in a cave made him lose some weight

Alright, cheers Pete. I've started doing it this afternoon, will continue on it later on tonight.

It should still be going ahead. The only problem is that the couple of last pages still have to be filtered and either selected for deletion, or moved to General Discussion. I have been off the internet the past week (apart from phone visits) but will hopefully have this sorted for the weekend. But seriously be my guest, have a look in junk. It either has topics that can be moved to GD, Gaming or deleted since its all about cock, or orgy shit. This will be happening though, There is no need for it :)

I actually never got Borderlands, I changed my mind. I was having such a hard time deciding what 3rd game I should get besides Binary Domain and Birds of Steel I just only went with those two for now.

Amazon has like several canceled orders from me I was having such a hard time deciding. So I figured just save that extra money for when I do know what I want for sure.
We can play Binary Domain online!

Starts around the 6:20 mark.

I don't get how its malicious or revealed anything personal.

If you act like that in private and it gets exposed, you need to own up to it. Which I hope AG will.

I don't agree with everything AG says, but I can sympathize with his over all sentiment somewhat. I recognize the dojo less and less lately. Not even unmodding Ryudo, which everyone felt was the shinning silver bullet to all the problems and drama of the place has panned out quite like everyone may have expected if gaming thought a few days ago was any indication. I still see some deeply fractured cracks in the community that at best seem only obscured by the total overhaul. To be fair, I feel I must give kudos to Yama for trying so hard in what he feels are all great changes to the site. Passion to make things better is commendable even if ones views cannot always be reconciled with the same vision. Stagnation can just as easily cause as much harm as the wrong change. All the more so, that he would acknowledge and address concerns from animegamer rather than brushing such sentiments under the rug.

I just feel some what of a sting when I see an iconic board like the junk forum that has always been a part of the dojo up and deleted outright. It was never the most philosophical place of discussion, but I think it helped add to the over all flavor and personality of the place. It had qualities that are harder to quantify than something one can place on a spread sheet. When I was a moderator, I likely would have agreed with all of this. My view of perfection was total order. No clutter, no disorganization. Rules always enforced to the letter in a black and white interpretation of a terms of service. It's only now in my later years that I see some what of an intangible quality that is lost in the apparent squashing of any perceivable chaos.

In any event, the dye is cast and no ones opinion can halt change forever. Ryudo's staff departure marks a polarizing in the staffs resolve to overrule any form of dissension that contrasts the greater vision and is a reality we must all come to terms with if we are to stay. I am forced to consider the possibility that perhaps this is in fact the Shenmue Dojo as it was intended to be at this stage in it's life and members like Ryudo/Animegamer and myself are just relics of a begone era that are now the odd piece out in the new order, not the elements we now find alien to ourselves. Our dojo is now dead and a new dojo for a new generation has taken it's place. The last remnants of the old republic have been swept away. Such is the will of the Force. I would call upon animegamer and ryudo at this point to let the remainder of this matter go. There is no more to be further accomplished.

^That is an absolute classic scene.

But yeah, AG, you're just actin like a tit and not thinkin about this. What exactly is it about the Junk forum that you need? What is it about the Sony, Microsoft, etc. forums that you need? The majority of games out there are multi-platform now, and anything that isn't can have the topic edited to have [PS3] written at the beginning if it's exclusive to that console.

And Sonikku, you're blowin this way out of proportion. There's a massive difference between a forum community and the structural layout of said forum. The forum layout will never define the community, it's the people that will, and to suggest otherwise is pure bollocks.

However, at the same time, I must sympathise. At age 14 I had to wave goodbye to Maine Road, home of Manchester City, when we moved to the City of Manchester Stadium (now the Etihad Stadium) in 2003. I felt like the heart of our club had died, along with our former ground, and when we moved into the new one... it was dead. No atmosphere at all. I actually got into a lot of arguments and fights with out own supporters over the lack of noise they were making. I was even told to SIT DOWN. At a fucking FOOTBALL match. Happened countless times. We've come a long way since though, and it now feels like home. You just need to give it time. A lot of people hate change, but once you get used to it, you grow to love it. Not because you have to, but because you slowly and gradually make it your own. Your home. And that will happen for any one of you if you just give it time.

Another thing... I used to be on a huge Hip-Hop forum called NobodySmiling way before the Dojo, and it died because the owner got bored of Hip-Hop and changed it into a gaming forum, which ended up dying on it's arse. We recenty had a Facebook reunion of sorts, and the site's back under the guise of Still NobodySmiling. It's totally different, but none of that matters, because it's about the members, not the graphics, not the name of sub-forums, it's always the people that make it, and as long as youz still like and get on with the members, everything will be fine. So stop worrying about your "era" being gone, people are still here, the community is still here, and that's all that matters.

Yeah, I agree with Mitts that people are just blowing all these things slightly out of proportion. The Junk forum wasn't even very active, as Yama pointed out before he made his decision, so how can that be such a vital part of the "old" dojo? I understand that's its always been around and so people are likely to be nostalgic and fond of it, but the reality was that in 2012 it added very little to the forum. Most of the threads were either fine in General or pretty much complete wastes of bandwidth. We can still joke around and have a laugh with one another, but creating a thread called "I want to lick Kiba's manboobs" (not that you have manboobs of course, Kiba my dear fellow) just seems...well, pointless. I can tell Kiba that in Dojo chatroom of whatever, if I really wanted to.

And that's all the Junk forum ever really amounted to these days, aside from the "who would eff" topic, and I'm sure there are more than enough other places for dojoites to get their fix of soft porn on the net.

In regards to the sub-forums (especially in Gaming) I think AG is the only one I have heard not being happy about that. I mean, those sub-forums were awful. They were dead and empty, and I don't think many could be bothered to check them on a regular basis, Sony and Sega just do not need entire forums. So in practice, all it meant was that worthwhile threads would sometimes be forgotten and ignored due to being in one of those sub-sub forums (even Blue refused to post one his threads in the Sega forum, because he knew people were more likely to ignore it there). When I want post and read about gaming I don't want to have to navigate through a handful of different forums, and I don't think many others did either. Even much larger and more busy gaming forums don't bother with needless sub-sub gaming forums. It kills the posting.

If I felt something was not logical, I would have no qualms about calling out. But while I understand certain members fondness for the Dojo's more eccentric and chaotic old ways, it seems to me that Yama has made logical decisions which should benefit the majority here. It's not about forcing old regulars under the rug, it's about improving and refining a great community hangout.

Right now it looks like the dojo is actually cared for, while previously the dojo looked more like shambles of a place where people who have a needless sub-forum fetish hang out.

Just callin it as I see it.

I kind of have the feeling that the only character from Shenmue II to make a return in Shenmue III would be Shenhua (other than Ryo of course). I also think that Shenmue III (this is all assuming that more than three Shenmue games are made) would take place entirely in Guilin. I wouldn't be surprised if characters like Nozomi, Ren, Gui Zhang, Joy, Xiuying, et cetera never made another appearance in the games, but I don't know much at all about Yu Suzuki's plans or anything and haven't done much research (any) so I'll probably be told I'm wrong pretty fast :lol:

These are all just hunches, gut feelings, I don't really have any way to back them up...

Cant sleep cuz i am so excited about this! Had some great ideas and had to jump out of bed to write them down. Just some scenes that i played through in my mind which had great juxtapositions from both the original game and Shenmue II. When you think about some scenes from Shenmue, and look at the direction of some scenes in Shenmue II, it becomes more clear as to how Suzuki had written the ending to the second boat chapter. Clever man ;-)

You know it is kind of hilarious, we've had both 3D and virtual reality in the past and they didn't catch on, chalk it up to the fact that the tech wasn't there, but now, I think we're getting there. I'm actually kind of excited to see VR in the future, even if it is yet again, only a fad. It's not like I think such tech will get in the way of usual gaming with controllers, but the possibilities with VR is kind of exciting to me, sorry. :dunno:
