Tuesday's Talk

On Tuesday I gave a talk at the Millcroft Inn in Alton, Ontario. The event was entirely in support of the Headwaters Health Care Board. Thank you to Booklore, Harmony Whole Foods and the Millcroft Inn for organizing the event. It was a great success. We had delicious treats from the Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook & the Eat-Clean Diet for Family & Kids. Yummy! The audience was fabulous and we had a great Q & A session. Main message of the evening: keep the flax & broccoli and kick the sugar!

Me and my eager listeners. There was excellent audience participation!

The organizers of the event and I. We presented an $800 cheque to Headwaters Health Care Board. Woohoo!


Talking with a few very special guests during the signing after the talk. Thank you to everyone for waiting so patiently. I like to take my time with each person, hear their story, and hope to inspire them further to reach for their dreams. This is my favorite part!

It was the first time I got to meet you in person Tosca, What a great time! You should do more speaking engagements, we all really enjoyed it! Plus I now have my book signed!

So wish I could have come!

Hi Tosca - I have just discovered your books and am so excited to find your program. I am your typical yo-yo dieter and have tried everything to lose weight. I am hypothyroid and it makes it harder to lose. I have been slowly changing my eating habits to more natural foods but am still not 100% and am hoping your program will assist me in doing the last leg of changes.

I am really encouraged and hoping that I can do this once and for all.

Because of numerous region, territory or country cultural specific reasons, a game that looks completely fine in one country may be looked upon as the devil incarnate once released in a new territory. This is a good reason to thin that video game localization - contrary to mere translation- is a must for video games.

But one seemingly simple yet relatively deep and complicated question has always bothered me: when does localization go so far that it becomes censorship? And to what degree should this sort of censorship be tolerated?

In order to illustrate my thoughts, I'll use the newest installment in the Yakuza series. Yakuza 3 - an imported Japanese PlayStation game - was recently released in the US. A lot of gamers complained because some scenes and important elements of the games where changed when the game made it to US.

This gets me wondering: how much of the cut content was actually "inappropriate for American audiences" as in "cultural differences would prevent full understanding and therefore only serve to confuse the player and impede their progress", as opposed to "Americans are generally far more religious and uptight than Japanese people, so we can't show them this kind of nudity and/or violence"? It was certainly a disappointment for gamers who expected to have the same game as the Japanese one after reading reviews and news in video game magazines or forums.

Now if you look at it, most gamers actually are adult and will absolutely not care to find certain elements. In fact, their absence may come as a huge disappointment for them and alter their gaming experience. So should developers think a little more about what public they are targetting, or just assume anyone may buy the game by accident, and thus edit it?.

Game translation is an important process to bring games to new people, and shouldn't be taken that lightly.
