I can no longer access my website-end account as the email associated with it no longer exists. Whoops.

Otherwise, I'm still alive and have been archiving and posting some megaten merch I own over at ShinMegamiTuesday on twitter. I'm a little stuck right now as apparently new MEGA accounts only have 15GB not 50GB of storage and I've already filled it up.

With the Nocturne HD Remaster there's been a small surge in new SMT merch but it's largely old Kaneko art repurposed and/or recoloured (still not sure who thought the piss filter on the games cover art was a good idea).

Still holding out for Raja Naga to get added to Dx2 lol. And hey, SMTV isn't a lost legend anymore :v

[Update 2014: Sorry it took me so long to say so, but being the last post ever and therefore most recent, this forum has been decommissioned for the longest. You can find out what I've been up to ever since/contact me at http://www.patreon.com/swordofmoonlight.]

Update 2014: Sorry it took me so long to say so, but being the last post ever and therefore most recent, this forum has been decommissioned for the longest. You can find out what I've been up to ever since/contact me at http://www.patreon.com/swordofmoonlight.

I am working on this

First though I spent the morning coming up with email notification systems for myself. The ideal thing would be to set up an RSS reader to generate emails but for some reason that's not an idea that has caught any traction circa 2011. I'm kinda shocked myself, that seems like a great feature that should be standard in all feed readers.

Anyway, I seem to have a hacked together system for doing this for me, except it seems to have trouble with the forum RSS feed. I guess after this post I'll find out if it will go thru or not. I will have to try to update the feed document I reckon.

Then there is the problem of the "pending review" posts which don't have an RSS feed. The Wordpress version the site uses is pretty ancient, but I like the theme because it matches the site, and there's no way to get it back after an update. Unless I learn about security vulnerabilities I intend to try to get by without ever updating it. So anyway, I just hacked in a little check that runs whenever an admin page is accessed (like by an author writing a post) which checks for any pending review posts and sends me a mail if its been 2 days since the last mail.

Oh, here is that post's permalink (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/archives/uncategorized/2010/07/still-on-the-fence-then-check-this-out/#comment-28343) published sans graphic

Power should pads for Lucifer

Never liked monster Lucifer or cat Kerberos myself

PS: The Kerberos in our banner seems more dog like. Maybe its just me??

Hey cool,

Sorry I'm late to the party. Dunno how I did not notice this sooner

I'm pretty busy with other games related activism but will as always do everything necessary to meet any contributors halfway.

I'm going to get this (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/bbs/index.php/topic,1033.msg10895.html#msg10895) up ASAP.

I'd appreciate if you can post stuff directly into the WordPress interface....

Speaking of which,

I just found this post there, dated July 2010

For those of you who are still trying to justify buying yet another version of Persona 3, this time for the PSP, head on over to giantbomb.com where they are currently showcasing a 30 minute, in depth video of the game.

For those of you not in the know, P3P is a port/update of the highly acclaimed rpg Persona 3 which was originally released on the PS2. This updated version includes a new choice of protaganist, updated social links, new musical score, new endings and the ability to control all four party members in combat.

The one omission is The Answer, an epilogue game that was included on Persona 3: FES, released in 2007, also for the PS2.

If you are curious about this new reincarnation of Persona 3, then you can see the video here:</center>

It seems to be unpublished. The graphic is not working. Can we get a new one?


PS: I'm going to try to email some of you guys and get some kind of email notification system setup for myself so I know as soon as anything happens with this site.

PPS: Megaten still seems dead dead dead (not that it can't rise from the underworld any day it feels like it)

Persona 4 anime. I think I just pooped my pants.

Okay, so I've gathered:

-Catherine is Atlus' first "next-gen" console game but it is NOT related to the Shin Megami Tensei series
-More SMT and Persona merchandise! [as noted below]
-Devil Summoner Raidou manga being scanlated by a user on livejournal; need to ask for permission to cross-post/host here [Emilio was also reposting pages in Spanish on his blog as well]
-Atlus "D" Shop has reopened with even more exclusive merchandise: http://atlus-d-shop.com/
*edit* More new news!
-Persona 4 is slated to get an anime series: http://www.p4a.jp/

Both FuRyu and MegaHouse are back again this year with new sets of Shin Megami Tensei and Persona merchandise!

FuRyu has its next figure candidates for set 2 of it's "Real Figure" [リアルフィギュア] series: Lucifer [ルシファー] and Kerberos/Cerberus [ケルベロス].

For most of 2010 I haven't had a shred of a second to deal with this website. Not because I was inundated with stuff like work... far from it. It just doesn't register as a blip in terms of my personal priorities.

That's not to say I don't feel guilty. But anyway, I just scrubbed almost 500 unactivated spammer account from the rolls. I did not realize that many were getting thru. Probably because the gmail junk account the alerts go to tends to fall off my radar once gtalk crashes after a few days since the last time I restarted my day to day workstation...

I suspect because the accounts were not able to be activated the websites email is probably not getting out... I'll have to test this later. If so I apologize to the few names in the unactivated list which held proper video game nerd credentials. If your account name looked like a spammer I apologize, you were probably deleted. Though I'm kinda thankful all these accounts were kept from posting, since Megaten has been pretty much dead anyway. I've even had time to catch up with some of the PS2 gen games while Atlus has apparently been on hiatus.

Spammers make it ridiculously difficult to keep a user registration friendly website on autopilot. I'm sure if Dante was alive he'd add a new circle of hell especially for spammers/prank callers... there is truly no lower order of scum on this earth.

I don't know how they get thru the reCaptcha stuff, it's really ridiculous. The Askimet system that fields the Wordpress comments on the main website seems to do a better job of keeping out spammers. If you really wanna register with the forums to infuse some life into here, maybe I suggest posting a registration request via comment here (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/forums/)

In the meantime I'm a little wary to make things easier to get thru for now. I even see spam posts from "guests" today which I'm pretty sure I did not delete without deleting their posts. Hopefully the database is in good shape and the server is sufficiently secure. I payed "good money" for it anyway.


PS: Hopefully in 2011 I'll be able to fix some stuff around here.

Will depend mainly on how much my work this year shifts toward web development projects.


EDITED: I'm disabling forum registration for a little while. In the meantime. If you (are able to) register with the main site and post a comment at http://www.digitaldevildb.com/forums/ I will manually copy your account over to the forum. Sorry. Will update asap.
