My keyboard broek.

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:07:48 -0600

So I was there, right. Typing n stuff.

Thne suddenly, the space bar on my keyboard broke.

What the.

It was, like, the most annoying thing.

I kept trying to press space, but the wordwouldgetstucktogether.

Shit sucked and shit.

Anyway. Bought a new one. Part of it already broke, cheap Chinese-made piece of shit.

By the way, apply to help increase the release speed. Your help actually does work. Seriously, it does.

So releases.

Battle Royale 2: Blitz Royale 17 (!BR17) - Two more chapters to go before we wrap up this monster. And when I call it a monster, I'm being very nice with it.

Full Metal Panic Sigma ch27-28 (!Sigma27 !Sigma28) Chapter 27 concludes volume 6 with a backstory on the Tuatha de Danaan & Tessa. An over lenghty chapter that could properly be well resumed in four to five sentences. Annoying. Anyway, chapter 28 begins volume 7 & the new arc. New characters, new locations, new stuff! Weee!

Rookies 180 (!Rook180) - Nothing much to add to this, continues from the previous chapter (Obviously) and stuff happens. Download it to see for yourself. Thanks to Deadbeat-Scans for their help on the chapter again.

So... I'm done. Bye!

Manga-Downloads is (sorta) down.

Unfortunately some big leechers or file bots sucked the life out of my server yesterday - 677 gig traffic just yesterday. I had to make the downloads semi-private. Please look for the username and password to access the files on #illuminati-manga@irchighway.net .

Guybrush

A very, very late night release.

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 03:02:18 -0600

As I've started writing this, it's 4.51AM EST timezone. I'm literally half asleep. Thank you to illiteracy for QCing the releases on short notice tonight.

Anyway, releases:

Holyland 88 (!Holy88) - Still looking for more staff. Someone applied on the forums this week, sorry I haven't answered you yet. I'll get to it sometime tomorrow. If I don't, bug me on IRC..

Rookies 179 (!Rook179) - Newest chapter of Rookies, enjoy. As usual, thanks to the people at Deadbeat-Scans for their help.

So. Yeah.

Night.

Today's release~!

Sun, 15 Aug 2010 21:53:45 -0600

Ummmm...

Lordof, Lordof, where are you? I need you to clean some SJG & Tough ._____.

Anyway.

So for the first time in, well, ever, I got a PSX emulator to work.

Fuck me I forgot how fun Front Mission 3 is. Been playing it a lot. That and Einhander. Thanks to jooozek for fixing the client for me.

Anyway. Releases.

Boku to Issho 30 (!Boku30) Thanks to BindeR for typesetting this series. The releases will be a lot more frequent than they were previously. Assuming Nitouryu does the redraw fast. Here's looking at you, stinky Latvian. :) Also, it's a TV.

Holyland 87 (!Holy87) So I had to bug Kidomi to translate this chapter, so yeah. Still need some Editors & Translators. More we get, faster we can scanlate, so...

Rookies 178 (!Rook178) So maybe we won't be able to release every week like I originally planned, but every 10 or so days is pretty decent, right? Thanks again Deadbeat Scans for their help on the chapter again.

What a Wonderful World 13 (!WaWW13) So now that I have my hands on a typesetter, I've gotten motivated to work on the series. So maybe you'll see more frequent releases? .-.

So yeah. If you find Lordof somewhere, get him to contact me.

Bye.

Rookies 177

Sat, 07 Aug 2010 00:04:06 -0600

Hello,

so I was saying last week about how this was possible to have a chapter per week, assuming all went well. Not everything went according to plan, but eh, close enough.

Rookies 177 (!Rook177) - Still a joint with Deadbeat Scans on the project.

Um- on an unrelated note, a few people applied in the last two weeks and I haven't replied to yet. Yeah, sorry. I'll try replying to everyone tonight, just sorta forgot.

Next release, um... Probably early next week. Again, assuming everything goes well. Which is never a guarantee.

See you.

RSS and Staff page fixed

Sun, 01 Aug 2010 23:54:43 -0600

Thanks to illiteracies array help the RSS is back, also staff page is fixed... again. I'm sure RSS is more important though.

New Releases.

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:21:08 -0600

Okay, before anything else...

Can one of you loyal readers set me up with one of those free mousepads that /a/ found out about?

In all honesty, I'm too lazy to bother trying to do it myself. Here are the instructions: http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/6406/1280367382752.jpg (One part of the instructions is NSFW so you've been warned.)

If you're willing to help me, send me an email (see bottom of the post) or PM me via IRC. Much appreciated.

Here's my usual plea for more staff, we need more staff, increase release speed, etc. It's 3.15AM, I'm half asleep and I just wanna go to bed.

Today's releases.

Holyland 86 (!Holy86) - Martial arts manga with fighting and sometimes whining. Yeah yeah.

Rookies 176 (!Rook176) - Funny enough I had originally wrote the chapter as 196 and was going to release like that before someone2040 from Deadbeat Scans reminded me that we were releasing chap 176 and not 196. Speaking of Deadbeat Scans, this is a joint with them. Assuming everything goes well, and it never does so who knows to be honest, we can probably have a pace of a chapter / week for this series.

So yeah that's it. If you can help me with that Mousepad thing, I'd appreciate it. (In an ideal world I'd like to get like 5-6 of different stuff.)

Night.

Staff Page Updated

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 22:10:36 -0600

As if anyone cares. GGpX I'm looking at you.

New website layout, new releases!

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 20:11:04 -0600

Hi,

today's a good day.

To begin, we put up a new website layout. Big thank you to illiteracy for it and to Nitouryu for the finishing touches. Looks much better than the old one, right? :p Anyway, it's still a WOIP as some of the stuff needs to be updated, especially the staff page... Well, we'll do it eventually, as always.

Second thing, I turned 22 today. Houray for me. If you want to make me happy, I'm still looking for staff. I updated that post with what we need. If you're seriously interested in helping the release speed increase for certain projects, please think about applying. For example, Boku to Issho needs a dedicated typesetter. If we get one, we can probably release a bunch of chapters in a decent amount of time.

So today's releases:

Shonan Jun'ai Gumi 92 (!SJG92) This begins the awesome Midnight Angels arc, which is verrryyy long. There are pauses every now and then for gag chapters, but the arc continues for a few volumes. It's absolutely awesome.

Sidonia no Kishi 9 (!Sido9) As I did for ch8, I'd like to thank Kunde for editing the manga. He decided to take initiative and help out and we have releases. Take note.

Now for the last bit of news; The group is going on vacation! What I mean by that is, Nitouryu is gone for 2 weeks, and a certain Starcraft 2 is going to be released in a few days... So... A lot of people are going to suddenly go MIA. So don't expect many (if any) releases from us in the next two, maybe three, weeks.

See you.

No more Holyland

Sat, 17 Jul 2010 16:44:19 -0600

Today..
today I had this completely normal dream where I was trapped in a room with Machete, Ip man, Marcus Fenix, Riddick, some guy with samurai swords and a random girl. So we are all in this room, it's somewhere around 10x15m big, with a single window and a wooden box in the corner.
I look out the window and I see that we are on 4-6th floor, dusk is approaching. There are no doors, I start to get this creepy feeling, not sure if it's from the overwhelming testosterone in the room or from the box in the darkest corner of the room.
Next thing I know, Fenix kicks open box while screaming "Fuck you box!" As top of the box slides open, a "thing" crawls out, something like a centipede(size of an arm). Next thing I know, the Thing melts into floor and Machetes legs are being eaten away into floor, while the only bitch screams "we are all going to die" and jumps out of the window..
... -_-
Eh fuck it~~~~, it was a long dream and I don't feel like writing out all the events. So after an epic extermination battle me and Riddick got out alive from the burning room, as I went home thinking how fucking scary it was, I see a kid riding bicycle, we are in the middle of abandoned land route(was quickest way to my home, I guess). As he turns towards me, I notice that his face is crumbly and white like a paper and there are black holes in places of eyes. "That fire hurt me, mister. Now you have to run." - he said.

So, releases:
Boku to Issho 29 (!Boku29) - Gonna go solo from this point onwards. As it has a handful of fonts, we really need a Typesetter with a good common sense to keep releasing.

Holyland 85 (!Holy85) - This is the last release from our short release spree. We don't have anymore translations. JP-EN translators where art thou?

Idiot Chief 09-10 (!Idiot09 !Idiot10) - I love my Wintows 7. We will continue series when Molokidan(translator) has some free time do more chapters.
