RIP
http://andriasang.com/con2n4/site_closing/
and before TGS :(
-
Best Anoop based gaming site since IGN Dreamcast :'(
-
GOD DAMN IT ANOOP
-
GODDAMN IT SONY
Wait, they only closed Lik Sang.
...GODDAMN IT SONY
-
Oh god
Now we will be stuck with the magic box mistranslations for god knows how long
-
Sadness. Just have Siliconera now I guess.
-
I broke this news on the bore himu, please credit me accordingly
-
Just goes to show japanese gaming isnt the same as it was in the 90s and early 2000s. Its depressing, because i love the crap out of japanese games. Loved PS2 era.
-
::)
-
well we will have the magic box! Am I right? :-\
disclaimer: I have not been to the magicbox since like 2002
-
Damn, andriasang was one of the few game sites I regularly followed. Now I guess I have to get my j-gaming news from duckroll's posts on neogaf :P
-
Why does grouch feel the need to correct every damn thing i say? is he a mod??
when people dont understand the difference between opinion and fact. News at 11.
-
Probably cuz this thing has not much to do with the state of Japanese gaming.In the end he just said what he thinks(knows) about Andriasang closing.
-

Probably because you're always wrong and need chastising.
-
Lame, it was one of the few good sites left. Though I always wondered, what does the name mean? Is it supposed to be "And Ria sang", "Andria Sang", or what? And what do those mean anyway?
-
"Andria Sang" is the name of a person.
-
Does it look like i care? Maybe next time, dont take everything so literal.
Japanese gaming is in a poor state and im sure if it wasn't lacking its orignial worth, a better site than andriasang would have taken over and its closing wouldnt have matter as much.
-
Uh, it's not closing because of anything to do with the state of Japanese gaming. It's closing because it's run by one guy who's been on his way out of the game reporting business for a while now and is finally making the last cut. Frankly, I'm surprised it didn't happen a couple of years ago when he left Japan.
Anoop left Japan? I thought he was going to most of the events he would post about!
-
The end of an era. I always respected the guy for being transparent with mistakes, if he misreported something and someone corrected him, he would credit the person with it in the article.
I met the gu at a couple of the Cave events, seemed like a nice bloke.
-
So, what's the best alternative that's left? It better not be Siliconera.

Anoop left Japan maybe 10 years ago. He has an incredible network of people who were able to get him info.

Anooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop

Good for him.

He had a man in Japan who helped him out with most of the events in the last couple years. Some kind of crazy, vicious, extreme freak.
And Lan, I've "corrected" you twice, both times because I knew for a fact I had more information than you about the situation being discussed, and thought you might want to know. As you seem to take disagreement about as well as ever, I'll refrain from replying anymore when you're going on about something you don't know shit about. Cheers.
Ive been trying to tell you that my comment was not suppose to be "facts" on the situation. I dont need correcting.
-
Yeah you do. Eat your sandwich, Lan.
-
Shut the fuck up Lan no one cares.
-

Lol. If you're wrong, expect someone to call you on it. Internet 101 stuff.
-
Does it look like i care?
Considering the barrage of butthurt after being shown how fucking wrong and stupid you are, yeah it does! :lol
-
WHERE DO WE GO FOR JAPANESE GAME NEWS NOW
-
Man this really sucks. As a weeboo this site was pretty much my daily go to place and for the most part it was a pretty damn good site. Good luck on the creators future endeavors though. Guess we still got siliconera.
-
Is MMCafe still around? I used to check that place out in the early 00s. Also, I've heard that Gematsu isn't bad.
I also check out the Japanese sites, but my kanji knowledge is pretty crap so I tend to stumble through and only get the basic ideas from articles.
RIP ANDRIASANG :'(

Gematsu is alright though they aren't always as speedy (still good enough though)
-
Its pretty clear some of you in here dont get the difference between a opinion and fact.
:lol
Im not hungry so im not eatting no shitty sandwich.
Andrex you suck so much, i like how you fanboy shitty google browser apps in a mac thread.

This Lan person is a v angry individual

Oh shit, that guy wasn't Anoop? I guess I just assumed they were the same since he said he was from the site when I talked to him and he was of the right...race. He was definitely an interesting character, seemed kind of socially awkward.

I see what you did there.
-
What is Anoop doing anyway? He is one of the least active people I know on FB and twitter. I've seen him maybe once since he left Japan
-
Andrex you suck so much, i like how you fanboy shitty google browser apps in a mac thread.
It's difficult for me to parse this sentence.
-
WTF, why has Lan trolling spilled over into the gaming side? Keep this shit in the GAF thread.
-

Ehn, you know Noop. He likes to keep a low profile. I don't know exactly what he's moved on to, to be honest.
Apparently it won't be gaming related according to john tv

You may have met him. He still came out to Japan from time to time, especially for the really big stuff like TGS, though less and less often as time went by. The main "correspondent" for Andriasang I know is not the same race as Anoop, though he is also not white.
Yeah, I didn't see cvxfreak at the events, I know that guy is asian. I guess since he moved over to 8-4 he doesn't have enough time to go to all of the events, can't blame the guy.
-
On one hand I'm sad to see the best English resource for Japanese gaming news go away, but on the other hand I'm happy for Anoop. He did everything by himself and that must've consumed so much. I hope he enjoys whatever he's up to now.

Shidoshi may turn WAHP into a news blogger

Anoop could be anything he wants to be in whatever industry he wants to do it in. Guy is insanely bright.
Socially awkward : that's definitely not Anoop. He's pimp smooth.
