Time for another release! This time it's Tales of the Abyss Gaiden 04 (a side story related to the main story of Tales of the Abyss manga), which tells of how Anise and Dist met. This came with the May Issue of Dengeki Maoh (which I recently started subscribing to) as a special insert.

This Gaiden boasts a whopping 42 pages of comic. And no, I don't have the Dengeki Maoh inserts for Gaidens 01 (side story related to Asch), 02 (side story related to the Original Ion and Arietta) and 03 (side story related to Peony) as I only recently started buying Dengeki Maoh, the Japanese Magazine that Tales of the Abyss is serialised in, nor do I have the raws for them. But rest assured, they will be scanlated when they get published in the tankoubon! (So far, Gaiden 01 has been published in Volume 3 of the Tales of the Abyss tankoubon so I'll get to that when I come to it)

This will be re-released when it gets published in the tankoubon. I'd also like to take this opportunity to welcome a couple of new members to the team, lawliet96 (Cleaner, Typesetter) and Freshy (Japanese->English Translator). Thanks for your help!

So...I've finally got around to finishing the Quality Check for Tales of Legendia Chapter 2 and releasing it. If you've been keeping up to date with the projects progress, you'll know that this has been in the QC phase...for a long time. So, sue me, I was lazy and I didn't want to release this so close to Tales of Eternia Stage 27...so eh. But then, that doesn't mean I have been slacking, I did some scanning while trying to finish Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria as quickly as possible...so that I can return the PS2 I borrowed from my friend just to play this ASAP. Curse my own PS2 for locking the game up whenever I would enter a battle, forcing me to use such a tactic just to play one game, and god, I hate having a time limit on playing games :(

Oh no, this doesn't mean I'm done with the game. I'm far from being done with it in fact, so expect more laziness (except the one chapter of something that is on my to do priority list). But I won't be completely doing nothing but playing VP2, I'll still get in some scanning time (cause I can use the time the scanner takes to scan the page to Photoshop to play).

So...after a long consideration, I've decided to install/implement Fusion News for the website. Spent about three nights (~5 hours) trying to figure it out and how to code it to not break the layout of my website >_<

With this implemented, I will post all news and releases here on the main website and I will no longer post any news and releases at the forums, and thus, that section will be removed, with the topic which I post new registered users that are approved for the forums moved to the "Website Problems" section.

The reason for this decision is because of the Spam Bots that have been posting recently. I'm not sure how many of you realise this, but the link that I've put right after a new update, beside my sign off, "Comment on this update at the forums", that section of the forums, while it only allows an admin to create a new topic there, it allows anyone, even a non-registered user, post in an already created topic. This has caused the occasional Spam Bots posting spam there. Again, I'm not sure if anyone saw them before I removed them, but if you did, you'll know what I mean. Although it's not out of control (yet), it annoys me and I have to spend a few minutes every time this happens to disallow the user name from ever posting again, and also to delete all those posts. In the beginning, it was only one topic that the bots were spamming on, but it has become such that they spam on every single topic that wasn't locked by me, and this will subsequently waste even more of my time deleting those posts as more and more topics get posted over there.

Okay, enough of my rant. Feel free to post comments to try it out! (At the very least to make sure it works for you if you're worried) And you most definitely do not need to register or anything to comment, and anyone can comment, that's for sure. You just need to do the "CAPTCHA" thing (visual confirmation) before you can post. It might annoy some of you, but this has to be there to minimize (maybe prevent) spam bots from posting, since it's public and no registration is required.

Well, anyway, if you have any problems posting, you can post a shout over at the shoutbox. And feel free to sign up for the forums! The forums need more people, it's kinda lonely...

The next release should be in a few days time (probably the weekend)...if nothing crops up on my end =/
