Thanks to the Donators And Happy New Year

I won't reveal who donated what and how much, but you people know who you are, and I just want to say to you: Thank You Very Much. I appreciate your donations and promise they will be put to good use.

I also promise the rest of you that the last 3 episodes of OverDrive are being worked on in my absence and I still look forward to releasing them shortly after the New Year, if it wasn't for this song insert in 24 I had hoped to have the rest of it out by now, I promise you it will be worth the wait though and you'll finally get to see who wins the race in episode 24.

And with that said, I would like to take this chance to wish you all a Happy New Year, even if I am a few days early, and I'll see you again in 2008.

Re-Edit: And forums are back!

Over Drive 24 - End

Ok I know most of you have been waiting patiently, except for 1 person, whose name will remain unmentioned for now, but is in the main channel every day bugging us...

Anyways, sorry for the delays, here is what is up:

Song is being re-translated with the Official Lyrics this time. I'm leaving town til the end of next week, however I'm having other staff members do the jobs I was supposed to do for OverDrive so that we can hopefully release 24 - 26 sometime shortly after I get back next week. Again, thanks for waiting, I hope I don't make you wait too much longer.

The Lunar Video Game Series

Ok so here is the thing. I was browsing YouTube this afternoon looking for some good Anime Music Videos, when I suddenly stumbled upon an ending for a game called: Lunar Eternal Blue. I couldn't understand anything being said in the ending though cause it was all Japanese. So then I did some research on the series, since I remembered playing a ROM for a game called Lunar once and liking the game very much. And in my searching I found the article on wikipedia about the series and found out that Lunar: Silver Star Story and Lunar: Eternal Blue both had an American Sony Playstation release, and that those releases updated the games and made them better.

So I thought, you know what? It is Christmas time and all, maybe I'll mention this to all of our Leechers/Over Drive fans and see if there are any Rich Kids out there who want to buy the games for me/ And if there are I even found where you can buy them for me:

(4 Disc Edition for the Second Game)

I'll accept any and all forms of payment, whether you just want to donate and give me money to buy these myself or if you buy them for me I'll be glad to let you know where to ship them. ^^

No OverDrive This Week

Ok guys, I know I promised I'd make a release before the end of the week, and I really really wanted to follow through with that promise too. I have it about 90% ready for release... But there is a Song Insert in Episode 24 that no one told me about until last night, so I'll need a few more days before it's ready, as I'm not going to release an episode without fully translating the song and adding some Karaoke Effects to it and everything. So again, I'm very sorry about this, but I promise to have it out as soon as I can.

P.S. For those of you wondering, the Race does indeed end in this episode.

These past... 5 releases and OverDrive - 23

So umm, lets see... I guess I've made 5 releases this past week, 6 if you count the v2 for OverDrive - 21... So where should I begin? The torrents are up for all of the releases. It's fun playing with you guys in #toki-fansubs. Though part of it is cause I'd like to see more people idle in there more often and I'd like to keep raising the number of people we get in the channel... Currently the channel has peaked at 284 users...

And that brings us to our next topic... OverDrive 23. I promised you guys I'd release it this weekend sometime, I was aiming for Sunday night then it looked like it might happen Saturday night instead, but unfortunately not everything happens that fast all the time. So ya, it'll be released tomorrow after I get home from work... What time that will be, well that's for me to know and for you to sit patiently to wait and find out. Also when I release lets see if we can get the channel to peak over 300 this time, if we do maybe I'll get OverDrive 24 out before the end of next week as well... I guess that's about all from me...

Over Drive - 21

Ok so I made my first release tonight as the new group leader. Now I had some problems, mainly in the fact that I've never made a Torrent before... And even when I received some help in that area and had the torrent made for me, I still had problems with it. So as of right now, I've released it onto DDL and I've DCCed it to the bots in the channel as well, so it should be available on those bots within a few hours as well. The main problem right now is the torrent, I'm not sure when that will be available.

/reboot

Well, of course a group leader leaving is an impact for the group. That's why we're resettling everything. We got a background project stalled (which none of you know off) to get releasing again...

I can promise you you will see at least 4 releases before christmas again. And we're working on more!
