    Andriasang.com is Closing

    Andriasang.com is Closing

    This notice has nothing to do with erotic 3D mega breast ninja action.
    12hr 40m ago / Anoop Gantayat

    I've decided to take up a new non game-related opportunity that I reckon will keep me super ultra busy, so I will be ceasing daily updates.

    I may do some database-driven stuff and technology tests (look closely, and you may see the site's backend code base change from PHP to node.js!), but I won't be doing articles or updates. The site's archive and comments will remain in place, so you can still consult old content and share it with your children, and one day their children too.

    Thanks for reading all these years, and a special thanks to everyone who registered and posted comments -- even the punk asses I banned.
    Although the site itself was frequently a minefield of borderline NSFW stuff it was hard to find someone quicker with the Japanese gaming news than Anoop. I'll miss the hell out of this site. Now we'll have to get our TGS news from much more terrible, slower sources.

    Edit oops I misspelled the title.

    I saw this earlier this morning. It makes me really depressed since there's not really an alternative for jp gaming news. I guess Siliconera, but even they just sourced Andriasang a lot of the time. WHELP time to learn Japanese so I can just read famitsu myself.

    Pretty much my entire japan info is now gone. Siliconera is okay, but Andriasang had info right away.

    A lot of other sties got info from this to pass along so it's going to hinder other news sites too.

    Andriasang was great. Sad to see it go but many thanks to the owner for his work.

    Speaking of alternative, http://www.the-magicbox.com/ is my second go-to. Not as detailed on articles as Andriasang though.

    That website looks terrible. Just from reading the article's comments I saw something about Gematsu, but it doesn't really seem the same. Hell Andriasang was pretty slow to update, but you could hardly get the same info else where.

    Is he keeping the site online as an achive?

    Otherwise I might want to take a replica copy of the site, loads of good screenshots there that could be used.
