Hey folks

Still kickin, but there aren't enough hours in the day.

Do have some cyber related news though. I was able to get my hands on a copy of the french series, #12 to be exact. Surprisngly it is a hardcover with really good paper, no new stuff though. I'll try and post some pics later.

Well This Page Took Forever To Do....

Man, this page took me a long time to translate, really hard to do too...

Page after the jump due to content.

On A Roll

Got another page for you.

Hi!

Hello! Have a page of Cybersix.

Annoying

Had a small computer issue that caused me to loose some data. Included in that data was Shippo's translations she uploaded to that file sharing site.

Typically this wouldn't be a problem, Id just go and redownload them. But for some reason the site won't load at all on any of my computers...

I've ideas on work arounds but this is just vexing.

DVDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck Yeah!

Discotek has licensed Cybersix for DVD release!

LINK TO ARTICLE!!!

Hot fucking Damn!

My only complaint is that we have to wait until next year... :(

The Universe Hates My Back

So today I'm not working.

However it's because I tweaked my back to the point where standing is painfuk.

No that was not a typo.

I can work on Cybersix stuff today!

...But my laptop with the comic materials is on the other side of the house...

I make no promises unless one of you can magically teleport either my laptop to me or a punch of painkillers.

WTF

I just looked at what some of the common search phrases that get sent to my little corner if the interwebs are, and for some godforsaken reason #4 was cybersix jose nude.

...
...
...
...why...?
...why in the name of that is holy and unholy...

Still Alive - Happy 4th

Like psychotic computers and hockey masked killers, I return once again.

In regards to the long absence, I do this as a HOBBY in my free time. And since my free time is limited I have to prioritize. And to be quite honest I haven't felt the urge to do much translating until lately.

Yes I do feel guilty about it.

But such is life. I've been busy. I work fulltime. My brother needed help moving. I have other interests that I wish to indulge. My dad busted up his knee shortly before going to Canada with my Mom and Brother to compete in an International Choir Thing That I Can't Remember The NAme Of out in Toronto, while leaving me behind. :(

Oh and I got a new computer, and found out that several of my old programs and files are not compatible with it... :(
Does anyone know of any good converter progams for .wps files?

Also does anyone know how to enhance the text in old/poor scans like the ones I have for early Meteorix comics? PArt of the reason there hasn't been anything new until now is because of my frustration at deciphering the text of those images.

Anyway thanks to the 4th of July and the translation skills of the awesome (and dare I say lovely?) Shippo, here is a new Cyberisx page with hopefully more to follow.

Also Shippo I never got that second batch of translations you mentioned. we really got to figure out why that keeps happening.
-Also also did you translate the text colums from the two pages before this one? they didnt seem to be included in the file you sent me.

Blarg

Still alive. Still trying to translate. Will answer emails and comments when I have time.

Some New News

Heya Folks I'm still kicking. I actually got some fresh info for you all!

First of all I've updated the links on the Cybersix page. If the link for #5 still isn't working let me know and I guess I'll have to re-upload the whole the thing.

Shippo my friend the email I use for my translation stuff is still Pharmadantrans@yahoo.com.
Every 10 pages is perfectly fine, you can send them when you have the time.
Don't worry about holding me up I've been slowed down considerably by working 9 hour workdays with a half day on Friday. I haven't made nearly as much progress with the current issue of Meteorix as I would have hoped.

Larry- All of the images I have are from various sources online. Unfortunately those sources tend to only have the cover image or an individual panel.
As for the comic scans I have I'm missing at least half of the entire series, as i only have the French Volumes and a few misceleanous scans from Mexico.
I'll gladly accept any scans you have to share. I'm not quite sure where the French and Italian editions sync up exactly so there is a good chance you have something I don't.

That's all for now, with a little luck I'll be able to make some progress today with Meteorix.

Fixes

Apparently the Fifth release of Volume 2 is missing for Cyber...

Thanks to everyone who's let me know about it. I'll reupload it shortly.

Shippo the last email from you that I have is from September, is that the one you're asking about?

Still kicking

Hey folks I'm still around and working.

Unfortunately the work has not been on translations. Mostly inventory at work, orepping grandma's house for the new renters, stuff for home, and helping my folks prepare for their trip to Cabo San Lucas.

I'll post stuff for ya when I have it.

Calling Any Willing Artists

So yeah this is a little off the regular topic but remember a while back those sketches I shared that I made for the O.M.F.G. sereies 3 toyline submissions on Octobertoys.com? Well I have an idea for a new submission but my skills are not able to convey what I want, and I was wondering if anyone who reads my stuff could help?

If anyone is willing to take a whack at it here is the description for the fig.

• It's a 3ball snowman, who for his head has a mushy jack-o-lantern for a head. He is slightly hunched over and the jack-o-lantern is sitting tilted instead of flat.
• His arms are made of sticks, one is a single stick that starts rather thick with snow wrapped around it at the base and ends with some twig-fingers. The other is a pair of sticks wrapping around each other, with plenty of open gaps in places, one of them ends with a split into two branches while the other is just a single stick.
• On top of his head he's wearing a tophat.
• Instead of scarf he has a noose hangin down and to the side.
• Instead of rock/coal buttons there are little stylized skulls.
• Sticking out of the bottom snowball in the front there is an empty boot, slightly tilted. Looking like it was put there while it was an ordinary snowman.
• On the bakcside of the bottom ball (higher up than the boot) there is an arm reaching out wearing a mitten. I don't know if the snow around the arm should be pushing out making it look like the arm is struggling to reach out of the ball, or the snow should be concave giving the impression that it's sucking the arm inside.
• On the backside of the middle ball there is an empty stocking cap stuck to the ball, partially "submerged" in places (there is no head at all in the cap, it's just a flat empty cap), and a second mitten, maybe with a string connecting it to the one on the arm.

I have yet to think of name for this guy, so any help with that would also be appreciated.

New News For A New Year

Hiya folks have some belated New Year News for y'all.

First of is some news on your translator.

I'm doing alright; I'm working fulltime now (I believe I mentioned this before, but meh...), and it's a fairly decent job with 7-4 Monday-Thursday and half days for Friday. My only real complaint is that I need to wake up at 5:30 in the morning and drive 40+ minutes to get there on time. (That and the occassional fear that I'll be working there forever sending shirts on down to be printed/embroidered until I retire.)

Family is doing ok, nothing too unusual there.

The holidays were pretty good. I got a Nook HD that I've been playing around with a bit. (I'll have to add .epub versions of the comics to the downloads later) I got some ninja turtle stuff and Last Stand of the Wreckers in hardcover, along with the regular scattering of shirts and movies.

I had a bit of a cold over New Years and didn't even stay up for it.

Now for some translation news.

As I'm sure you've noticed I've uploaded all of Part 1 for Cybersix volume 2. If I haven't put the link on the downloads page It'll be there soon.

So that I don't get burned out I've decided to do some Meteorix translating. I recently was able to find the last two issues and possibly a non-corrupted version of a page I was missing for number seven.

I do have one minor problem though; the raw scans I have for issues one through twenty are of poor quality, making them rather hard to read and therefore translate. If there is anyone who is willing to maybe take a whack at enhancing the pages in photoshop or something so that I can read the text, I would be very greatful. And remember the faster I get through some Meteorix the quicker I'll get back to Cybersix.

That's about all I have for a you now, so I'll post more later when I have more to type about.
