(no subject)

Playing through the Rockman arcade games (yes, Rockman, not Megaman, since for whatever stupid reason I can't get the English versions to work) because I have no life because hearing Rockman yell, "Yatta!" never gets old because carpal tunnel syndrome is fun, yay! because although I am still on a Rockman jag, I have decided that me and Rockman 5 need some away time from each other. There are parts of that game that I love, like Gravity Man's stage, and then there are the parts which make me want to throw things, like the room where you have to jump from teeny-tiny rotating platform to tiny rotating platform while underwater and while avoiding the enemies that crawl around said rotating platforms and the ceiling spikes. Holy sadist level designer, Batman!

Anyway, where was I going with this? Oh, yeah. So I'm attempting to translate the six different endings to The Power Battle, and have reached the "I know what they are saying, I just don't know how to say it in English" phase. I could just sort of paraphrase, but then I'd get something like this:

Narration: This is Blues. He is very mysterious. Nobody knows anything about him. So very mysterious. Did I mention that he's mysterious? Because he is. Mysterious, I mean, in a very mysterious way.

or

Roll and Dr. Light: Yay, Rock is back in one piece!

Rockman: 'Sup? Wily got away again. Why am I doing this? What's the point? Woe, I am sad little blue robot.

Rightot: The point is that we need a hero like me!

Dr. Light: OMGWTFNO. Here, Rock, have some B.S. about what robots really need.

Rockman: I am inexplicably reassured. Thank you, kind creator!

or my personal favorite

Dr. Wily: Forte, you blew up my lab! What the hell?!

Forte: Eh, it was crap, just like everything you make.

Wily: Ingrate.

Forte: Loser.
