We are also releasing the Chapter 12 Omake along with this one for some reason.
Jeez, this chapter was such a cliffhanger!

Goat&CatScans: Retired Heroes Chapter 11 + omake

We're going full steam ahead on this despite the backlash. The entrance into scanlation brings really exciting and worrying days! 
Here's our new credits page after the name change:

As you can see we put a commensurate effort into it. Here's the obligatory preview.

There's no weird meme edit. Why would there be, when there wasn't last time?

You'll probably notice a sharp uptick in quality, as we're using the standard font now and I'm actually doing proofreading and rewording passes.

Oh, we also did the omake after Chapter 11. Man, whenever I see the term "omake" I think of Makefiles. It's the O-Make!

Now to see how long we go before some schmuck rips it to imgur and posts it on reddit again. I give it 24 hours tops.

The cat's out of the bag

It seems our recent debut onto the scanlation scene has stirred up a little bit of controversy, the proverbial hornet's nest, or wasp nest if you will. I kind of expected something like this to happen when we uploaded our first chapter to mangadex, which is why I was a bit apprehensive about doing so. But what's done is done, and frankly I'm surprised this blog hasn't absolutely blown up with comments yet.

Most of the complaints have to do with things I already lined out in my first blog post like font choice and slanting text, which everyone would have seen if they didn't just read the mangadex upload. We are actually taking a few of these concerns into consideration.

The one big issue is there's already a scanlation group by the name of Cat Scans. 

Yeah, we didn't do any basic research either. This was an honest mistake, we weren't trying to steal their name or anything.
Therefore as of today, we're changing our group's name to Goat&Cat Scans. It's a pain but it has to be done. 
Man, we're gonna need to get a new credits page and everything. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to commission MS Paint drawings?

Also, Chapter 10 is on mangadex now if you're into that sort of thing.

Goat&CatScans: Retired Heroes Chapter 10

It's frankly something of a miracle that I didn't make a random troll post before we finished the next chapter, but here we are. I think we're usually supposed to post a sample image of the scanlation here to give people a sneak preview, so here ya go:

Yeah yeah, I know that's just our credits page, that fooled exactly nobody. Let's just pretend that didn't happen and try this again:

Yes, those sound effects were already there, especially the one in color, why do you ask?

Goat&CatScans: Retired Heroes Chapter 9

Hey hey people, Cory in the house. I'm pleased to announce that One Winged Baphomet is now the official home of CatScans Translations, a new two man(for now) team hardly working on scanlating the text in your my favorite Chinese cartoons into the English language! 

Wow, franku!

But what is this 'scanlating', you may ask?
It is the great, nay, most noble and dignified task of taking a comic in one language and replacing all the text with that of another. I don't know what all those other guys do but we're using the tried and true "copy and paste" method. Here's a demonstration of this method(which I did not create):

We* pride ourselves on our quality, which sucks, and speed, which is low. There's no cleaning, so some of the original Chinese text will still be on there, and no typesetting, everything's in Arial for now.  Here are a couple of "legit" scanlator sites so you have a point of reference as to how ghetto this whole operation is:

https://dropoutmanga.wordpress.com/

New chapters will be posted on a rolling basis, meaning whenever we feel like it. Here's a couple of our corporate slogans:

"No redraws, no redos, no regrets."

"Prolonged exposure may increase your risk of cancer."

There'll be big changes coming to this blog. Biiig changes. But first, a preface about our operations: Speech bubbles for Chinese cartoons often tend to be horizontally challenged, as in they are really tall and narrow so you can't fit a lot of English letters on each row of text resulting in every other word getting cut off halfway. We've discovered a revolutionary new technique that completely eliminates this problem: slanting the text at an angle. Think of it this way: now you can exercise your neck while reading!

For our debut scanlating endeavor, we're picking up "Retired Heroes" starting from Chapter 9, as the existing translation is only up to Chapter 8 and shows no signs of updating in the next year or so. Yeah, it's an actual Chinese comic, I wasn't making fun of anime this time.

The cover

Retired Heroes is a lovely, wholesome story about a hero who saved the kingdom and became king, but then for some reason retired to go raise his daughter in a countryside village. We've taken some liberties with some of the character names, deal with it.

You can get the release here now!: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4o5obdo2l3198/Retired_Heroes_Translation_Project

Expect the banner image and general theme of this site to change Soon(tm), along with more chapters as they're translated. This will probably only last for like a few weeks but I'll be damned if it won't be a blast while it lasts.

*Yes, I am a contributing member. I definitely did not rope others into doing all the work.

Let me be your ruler

I've been splatting a seemingly endless horde of flies flocking to my screen. Again. Looking back it seems like this isn't the first time this has happened. That was more than a year ago, and I'm no longer as pissed off by it now. 

What's changed? My perspective, most likely. A few weeks earlier my home was plagued by a wasp infestation, which was far nastier. Yellow jackets have a loud buzz that makes them difficult to ignore, and can sting multiple times without dying like their friendlier bee brethren. 
That reminds me: I went to the dentist's office some time ago and was sitting underneath the wall-mounted TV in the waiting room. They usually play kid's movies since it's a dentistry for kids, which I still go to for some reason. Anyway, above me, I heard the DreamWorks Pictures jingle play. A tingle ran down my spine and I got all excited. Were they about to play that masterpiece of animated films, that green slime-filled sensation? Were they about to play....SHREK?!

"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly..."

I instantly slumped down in my seat, all hope lost.
Yeah. It was Bee Movie.

I don't think I need to tell you what to think about Bee Movie. In fact, I'm not even going to dignify it with a pic-

Anyway, I got stung once on the toe and recovered in less than 2 days thanks to constant rinsing and proper care. Others were not so fortunate. While more hostile and durable than flies, wasps were much easier to hit, whether it be with newspaper, flyswatter, or nerf blaster. This infestation did prompt the purchase of a new, industrial strength "heavy duty" bug swatter made of vulcanized rubber and thick steel wire. The advertising blurb said it could be used as a backup paddle should you find yourself on a canoe in a raging river. I don't know about that, but its pretty durable. I'm not going to shill it further here but the brand name is "Enoz" if you're really interested.

Now that the cold snap has arrived, the wasps are likely gone for good. Now if only these flies shared the same vulnerability...
