>Why does Arino frequently stick those pads on his forehead? What are they?
They’re called reikyaku (or netsusama) sheets. They relieve fevers, migraines, tension and fatigue.
They allow Arino to push past the limits of human endurance to unleash his full power.

OLD THREAD:

>>662742

Someone mentioned Mendel Palace at the end of the last thread. I really wish they'd sub that one to finish up season 8.

>>701901
Also from last thread: SA is working on subbing late season 15 stuff, and LC intends to do more season 17.

I'm super pumped for Blaster Master. Also hoping the next sub is Strider.

I really want to see Strider and Pulseman subbed soon. I'd really like to see more Sega episodes.

Just watched the Quest for Ki episodes, might have to try that game out, looks like a fun little puzzle platformer.

>>701924
I like this. LC doing newer episodes as they are released and SA subbing what isn't subbed.

I want the Jake Hunter episode translated.

>>701964
Do Fuji TV and Nintendo have good ties with one another? Or they really can't form a partnership because most of the games featured were on Nintendo's only relevant home consoles?

>>701949
>I'd really like to see more Sega episodes.
Me too. Considering how few they've done, they really should finish subbing them all.

>>701973
They don't do a lot of Sega episodes because Japs are pretty xenophobic, and prefer to see games from their companies, like Nintendo.

>>701971
>Do Fuji TV and Nintendo have good ties with one another?
I don't know how close their ties are now, but they did collaborate way back when on Doki Doki Panic.

>>701979
>Sega
>not japanese
What?

>>701979
Well, its more that Mega Drive wasn't so big there compared to SNES and PC Engine

>>701990
Technically Japan was founded by Americans, and they were a Jukebox company to supply jukeboxes to American bases.

>>701993
Excuse me, I meant Sega was a company founded by Americans. Fuck dyslexia.

>>701990
Well, they started in Hawaii but soon moved to Japan. Nintendo is more popular in Japan, anyhow.

>>701997
Eh, it works either way really

Hey guys I need help to remember a specific episode. Arino and 2 ADs were buying games in a local store on the streets, and Arino was using money that Urakawa gave him as a new year gift. Do you remember wich episode was?

>>701993
>>701997
>>702002
either way, the company has been pretty much entirely run by japanese people since the 80s though

>>701971
They are in good terms, ever since the Nintendo Channel and WiiU exclusive videos.
The partnership is already happening with those exclusive videos on no other media, as well as certain good relationships with Arino himself and many of the Nintendo Staff (as seen on the Tokyo Game Show reports)

Perhaps they may have not made bigger events yet (like the Shonen Jump ones on Odaiba) because nintendo doesn't have enough free time, or Arino and the crew doesn't have it or maybe they haven't come up with something that big yet, but i'm just speculating; who knows? Maybe they will surprise us with something unexpected.

>>702073
Arino confirmed for Smash.

>>702096
SPECIAL MOVES:
>Stuck in a Pattern
>Muddy Loach Play
>Continue Fail

>>702185
Game Obera
Gamé Oberé

>>702185
I personally think Arino would be an average tiered character, to reflect how good he is at games. His special gimmick is that the longer he plays (more specifically, the more damage he takes, the more he uses a move, the more he hits, the father he is knocked away), these get better with time. His final smash will be him putting his cooling pad on, which will max his abilities out for the remainder of the match.

Arino is introduced after the first "event" in Story mode. Mario is fighting against Kirby, and when the game is over, you hear "Oh! Ikemasu! Yosh!" and it cuts to real life Arino playing SSBK.

>this will never happen

>>702185
>Smash: ABUNAI!
>Infinite enemies come attacking from every direction.

>>702059
dunno if they did it in other episodes, but in the first SM64 episode (#27), they bought some games with New Years' money.

>>702185
>In a Pinch
>Premature Celebration
>Boss Flee

>>702209

You've given this a hilariously awesome amount of thought. I'd really like to see that.

>>702185
Don't forget "Kugure!" (go down!)

>>702225

exaclty what I was looking for, thanks

>>702231
no problem. I haven't seen many episodes(only have about 20 downloaded), but I instantly recognized that scene. I just remembered that the place they were in was very small.

Just got the DVD in the mail. A tad bit disappointed that it's $45 for a collection which is only a tiny fraction of all the show's actual existing episodes. Oh well, it's better than Japan completely ignoring us, I guess.

>>702282
I paid around $20 because of ebay and some cupons.

>>702228
Yep. It then plays out like a normal episode of GameCenter CX, until Arino sees something weird on the screen that no one else sees.

"Eh! Is that a portal or somethin'?"

"We don't see anything, Arino-san."

"Whaddya mean you don't see anythin'? It's right here!"

Arino points at the black hole, but Arino is sucked into the game. The GCCX video fades to gray and plays that "ominous guitar wail" with the narrator saying something like "The impossible has happened; our beloved chief has been taken hostage by the very game he was playing!"

Arino will be the only character who actually talks in the stories, and will even throw his signature commentary around. Like he will come across Ridley and he will say "UWA, TEKAI"!

To those wondering, SA is working on subbing Mendel Palace. The thing is that zarigani is not translating it. Another SA goon from the team is translating it. Be patient. Mendel Palace will be out subbed soon.

Is Mendel Palace in any way related to Howie Mandel, or the guy from Disturbed at least?

>>702295
And then he runs away from it

>>702895
That mission will be a survival mission. Either defeat him, or stay alive until the timer runs out.

The subspace emissary would've been 10x better with Arino.

I can only seem to keep my attention on episodes where he plays games I'm already lovingly familiar with.

Anyone else have the same issue?

>>702934
I'm the opposite since with games I know I can see everything mistake he makes.

>>702925
>army of ROBs flies in
>ABUNAI ABUNAI

>>702925
Or could you imagine multi-man melee with Arino?

>>702948
>>702953
This will never be a reality. Sakurai will never allow it.

>>702947

I think the reason I am the other way, is because I can empathize with his frustrations at times.

Although... he never wrecked a controller playing Ninja Gaiden. I remember my mom grounding me off the NES for a week because of that.

I watched this guy saturday on jtv after the streamer finished Dr Who, it was pretty funny. He was playing...Mario64 IIRC

>>702295
The only bad part of Arino in Smash Bros. would be localization

>>703086
>yfw uh-REE-no

>>703093
How is his name pronounced, anyway?

>>703113
ah-ree-no

that anon is mildly retarded, all he even changed was "Ah" to gutteral "uh"

Is AD Sasano mixed-race? He doesn't look quite as Japanese as the rest of the GCCX crew. Like maybe he's Filipino-Japanese? Thai-Japanese?

>>703119
That's how they pronounce it in the dub.

>>703154
it's just western emphasis, it's not technically incorrect

>>701979
While this Otaku seems somewhat dismissive of the fact that Sega rules Japan and is Japanese, nevertheless Arino does feel the MegaDrive is a "Western" console.

In the US episode (?) he scoffs at a large selection of Genesis titles and is told by an AD/AP that the MegaDrive is very popular overseas. He then scoffs again but with more of a questioning tone.

>>701971
>>702073
Fuji TV + Nintendo = Doki Doki Panic. Even the original was a collaborative effort between the companies, you can see so on the original game flier.

>>703119

He capitalized REE to show the undue American emphasis.

>>703186
Yeah, head writer Kibe loves Sega stuff. Arino (semi-jokingly?) dismissed him in the US special, saying he had "no interest" in Mega Drive games. Arino definitely prefers Nintendo products.

>>702748
>SA is working on subbing Mendel Palace.
Thanks, that's good to know.

>>702213
*infinite birds

>>703113
It's ah-ree-no, like >>703119 said, without any emphasis.

>>703234
>TORIII!

>>703113
>>703119
Have you guys even watched the show? It's pronounced Ah-lee-no.

>>703284
Well, japanese pronounce "r" as a sorta inbetween of "r" and "L"

>>703192
Exactly. They have worked together before with both the show and the game of Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic in the early 80's; the most similar to this relationship these days, is GCCX HD (the WiiU segments), which is nice.

>>703113
>>703292
Pronunciation should be just as director Kan says his name everytime he's gonna scold him: Arino ("ah-ri-no"; emphasis on the "A")

>>703314
Does GCCX really need to be in HD, though? I really don't need to see Arino's skin in high definition.

>>703496
Well I do.

>>703496

Aren't Blu-Ray discs much less susceptible to decay compared to DVDs? It should be on BD for that reason alone

Do the people in the CRT threads hate the Kacho for his use of an LCD screen? Is his trademark "chief-like performance" the result of the dreaded LCD lag?

Why doesn't the Kacho play with a Playchoice10-modded NES with RGB out to a Sony BVM? They have them all over the Fuji studio, you see them all the time behind the scenes.

Also, the Chief is getting his picture scaled and not enjoying his pixels properly. He does not utilize the Framemeister Mini 3000 to avoid upscaling. How is he to enjoy these nostalgic retro games? How is he to emerge victorious?

>>703580
The first sentence sounds like a legitimate point. The rest is gr8 b8 m8.

>>703580
He was still shit before he got the LCD so I doubt it

>>703113

The way they fucking say it on the show?

Does anyone think the Japanese are any sort of authority on pronunciation? They pronounce "Metal Slug" like Metooooo Slog"

>>703709
They pronounce it Metaru Suraagu.
And assuming you're replying to the post above you, do you really think a Japanese name should not be pronounced in the Japanese way?

>>703732
They can't pronounce English words the English way.

>>703739
You're saying the Japanese do not understand how to pronounce Japanese names because they don't all speak fluent English? What?

>>703769
>>703732
He's probably backing me up because he remembers that when Arino goes to the US and the American guy who speaks Japanese agrees to play a game with him, the game the American suggests is "Metooooo Sloog"...it is not subtitled in the GCCXKachoOn subs because it is an American saying English words in an absurd Japanese accent.

If he said some absurd メタルスラッグ it would have been subbed. When he said Ninja Spirit it was subbed because he said "saigo no nindou" in the same accent.

>>703732
And I'm sure the kanjis for "action game" and "shooting game" just happen to be ack-shoon-uh game-uh etc.

>>703802

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana

>>703802
You're a fucking moron.

>>703802
They would use katakana for that because they're just English words expressed in Japanese.

Except Inoko MAX because he's a baller

Who's the worst AD?

Not counting the girl AD who only appeared twice or so, I'd have to say the art school one.

>mfw I have watched every single translated episode available now, including specials and everything

What now? ;_;

>>703974
There's only one thing I don't like about Arino, he's a Reifag

What was the episode with the tama-ge where he plays the mug slider game to win the Rei figure?

>>705119
Learn Japanese?

>>705129
I didn't watch EVA till the end.
Asuka is better.

>>705084
>art school one

I don't know who that is. names please.

but I can tell you who I like best: AD Matsui even though he looks like Yosuke from P4.

>>705084
>girl AD who only appeared twice or so
Who?
>the art school one
WHO?

so do you guys prefer the subtitled version, or do you like the dubs

>>705179
>>705160
The one who made the models of the Quest of Ki stages, and who sang very badly for that other game.

I don't remember his name.

>>705208
You've got to admit it was an impressive, although useless, model.

>>705208
AD Tsuruoka

>>705216
Yeah, as someone who's had to do many scale models, it was amazing, but maybe it's because his episodes aren't translated, but he hardly ever appeared and he wasn't much help when he did.

>>705235
...but I after re-watching that episode he played pretty well.

>>705306
Too bad AVGN isn't very funny anymore.

>>705306
Arino by a light year

>>705328
>>705334
GCCX is pretty much the same as it's been since episode 2. Same formula, expressions, etc. They don't innovate. The AVGN has been trying different things so it doesn't get old, especially in the recent episodes.

That's why GCCX is still good, while AVGN is utter shit now.

>>705306
They work better as a tag team.

>>705342
I still wish James would just retire the Nerd and do more out of character videos and Board James.

>>705351
I wish he would just start reviewing games like before without trying too hard. Just play calmly and make informative and funny comments when appropriate.

>>705342
WHAT A SHITLOAD OF FUCK I'D RATHER EAT A DEAD RABBIT'S THUNDER CHUNDER THAN SHOOT ANOTHER VIDEO IT'S LIKE IN ROCKY WHEN MICK GETS PUNCHED REMEMBER THAT?

THAT'S MY JOKE

>>705351
>>705358

His Cinemassacre Halloween movies are brilliant. I love how he talked 30 days of Godzilla one year.

>>705129
>What was the episode with the tama-ge where he plays the mug slider game to win the Rei figure?
I think it was Adventure Island.

>>705242
>maybe it's because his episodes aren't translated,
Tsuruoka appeared in season 8. Everything there but Mendel Palace has been subbed, and that one's coming soon.

>>705369
I always thought it kind of interesting how his theme song really does take a diarrhea dump in your ear.

>>705369
Please, spare my poor sides. They just returned from rehab.

>>705614
I only watched the very first Cinemassacre Halloween completely. It was pretty entertaining. A lot of what he does is just not funny or entertaining, though.

>>705179
The girl AD from the Ultra Seven (and I think Megaman) episode? She was pretty good at Ultra Seven. I liked her well enough. She was a waste of space in Megaman, though.

>>705179
>>705774

That was the first Takahashi (not the cardigan dude). She left to become a teacher. She was cute, but she wasn't around for long.

>>705810
I would fuck her.

>>705046
>>705061
His account is still labeled emoyan, though.

>>705774
>>705810
I know who she is and knew she was a teacher. But not an art teacher. Thanks.

>>705715
That was the one, thanks

>>701865
>Which retro games do you want to see Arino attempt in future challenges?
All the Smash talk really makes we want to see him play the original Smash Bros.

>>705810
Speaking of Takahashi, I'm starting to like the new one. Seems like a pretty cool guy.

There's one more generation after him, though, right? I think it was a boyish looking guy.

>>705868
Not an art teacher, you're mixing them up.

The art one was Tsuruoka, who was an art university student or something like that.

>>706392
Oh, ok.

>>706387
>There's one more generation after him, though, right? I think it was a boyish looking guy.
There's male Itou and Matsui after male Takahashi, I believe.

>>706362

He might do that for a Nintendo Channel episode when SSB4 gets announced.

>>706418

AWWW YEAH. I bet that's exactly what will happen.

>>706418
When and where was the first SSB release? Was it the N64 one?

>>706585

yeah, n64 is the first. '99.

I love the moments where Arino challenges a game he's played before so he shows some insider knowledge.

The beginning of Milon's secret castle is a good example of this, he becomes smug as fuck

>>706692

And then inevitably, "Uh-oh. I don't know anything past this part."

>>706912
F-zero was particularly embarrassing in that regard. He kept bragging that he played the game so much as an adult, and then...

>>703832
私はあなた嫌う。。。

/r/ several manga panels of Arino turning the console on like he himself always requests.

Even before ever hearing him claim such things I could see the hyperbole and styling that led me to believe he was live action anime. Who draws things?

Requesting that NOPE gif.

>>706692
Just fired up the Adventure Island episode.

In the beginning, he claims he will breeze through it because its an NES game and not a SNES game. Wasn't the case at all.

>>706991

This one?

>>707089
Yes, thank you anon.

>>706586
>dat filename

>>707046
He actually says that quite often. Then you quickly learn that he has a really short memory.

>>707404
Anyone have that quote where he was playing the 3DO and said, "If I want to watch a movie, I'll watch a movie. I want to play a game!"

>>707482
It's from one of the season 5 episodes which is pretty short. I may look for it if nobody whips it out.

>>703580
Wait no seriously, he uses an LCD for Episode 86 where he challenges Punch Out!! It is well known on /vr/ that Punch Out!! cannot be defeated by a human using an LCD screen due to lag. Did they ADs use a CRT to beat the game in advance?

>>707458
That's when you realize the quality of the show...the haughty section chief, surrounded by underlings and sycophants who all cackle mindlessly every time he makes the same joke. It's genius.

>>707458
Carlos Mencia has a really good memory and steals other people's jokes with it and does them poorly. Arino clearly has terrible memory. Does this make him naturally hilarious while Mencia is naturally repulsive?

>>707672
>It is well known on /vr/ that Punch Out!! cannot be defeated by a human using an LCD screen due to lag.
That's false, though.

Besides, if lag was a problem, they would have noticed by now. They've even played and beaten fighting games on it.

>>707693
But they're using a multisync display so your fighting game claim is irrelevant, the LCD is a TV and is syncing to the actual 240p signal's true vertical sync rate.

Fighting game fans have proven that LCD lag is not relevant.

/vr/ has proven that Punch Out!! LCD lag is the most important thing in the world and proven mathematically that a human being cannot beat Tyson/Mr. Dream.

>>707698
Doesn't matter either way because he didn't even get that far

>>707734
Yeah but how's he supposed to when it's humanly impossible on his equipment

>>707678
>surrounded by underlings and sycophants who all cackle mindlessly every time he makes the same joke.
Sometimes they laugh when he's not doing a joke at all, too. And once, I remember that Abe did something that was actually funny, and only like 2 laughed. I don't understand why they do that.

>>707734
>>707693
60hz on a TV comes out to 1 frame every 16.7ms. That's not a whole lot of time.

Input lag and lcd monitor lag come right off the top, leaving little (if any) time left for the emulation to happen before you at least one frame off.
NES units didn't have to deal with nearly as much lag back then as software emulators do now. People say they don't notice, and maybe they don't, but where precision counts is the first place you'll spot it.

Say you intend to react to something that happens for 6 frames (1/10sec) and your gear is two frames off. Now that's much harder to do. (It's early. Let me know how far off my math is on any of this)

As a kid I could get to the last level in Super C without dying. My hands knew the way, and though they're rustier now, they can still get pretty close. Those same hands are lucky to make it though level 1 on the first life in a software emulator.

>>707776
I've beat it on an LCD monitor, though.

Anyone who talks about lag probably hasn't actually played it. Or is just bad.

>>707787
Video or it didn't happen, it's you against every person on /vr/

I thought it was only impossible to beat on an LCD if you were emulating. Arino isn't

why didn't you faggots tell me that bomberman was the best episode?
I mean shit, with a tamage segment it would have been perfect.

anyhow else feel like the newest jap episode should be mentioned? it's almost like torture since we all know that it's going to be FOREVER until it's finally subed

>>707801
I dunno the CRT people say it's impossible on any LCD for any reason.

>>707816
shouldn't*

>>707817
Thats not what I usually hear. I've never seen real proof in any of those threads either

>>707809
>that bomberman was the best episode

>>707831
>5 man staff brawl
>not GOAT

>>707842
Wish they should those matches in full instead of cutting through them

>>707853
showed* Fucking autocorrect

I've been watching the Famicom Jogging Race episode and i've been having a laugh out of it; i gotta say that Arino isn't in top shape but i like the fact that he doesn't want to be beaten by this game the same way that he was being beaten with Takeshi's Castle. It still doesn't stop him from bickering that this is a "devilish/oni-game", heh.

Also, in the TamaGe, there's an AD named Matsumura; i don't remember her from any of the older seasons, maybe she helped on one or two episodes, or will she be the next AD for the season? She's good at baseball, though

>>707698
>/vr/ has proven that Punch Out!! LCD lag is the most important thing in the world and proven mathematically that a human being cannot beat Tyson/Mr. Dream.

So then you shouldn't have a problem citing a credible source.

They'll never do a Karnov episode.
They'll never do a Doom episode.
They'll never officially release the rest of the episodes on DVD in the US, just leaving us with that dinky little 14-episode mini-compilation.

>>708279
Theres been a Karnov episode. And Japan only gets the compilations too.

>>708285
>Theres been a Karnov episode.

Well, shit.

Doesn't look like it's been translated yet. Let's get cracking, guys! Chop, chop!

>And Japan only gets the compilations too.

This, I seriously doubt.

>>708296
Its true though. They only get compilations of random episodes with the challenge only, just like what we got. Have you not watched much of the show? They talk about the DVDs and whats on them each time a new one is released there

>>708296
No, it's totally true. The DVD Box sets don't contain the TamaGe Segments or several of the special segments broadcasted in between. Those only appear on the broadcasts and, well, in the rips of said broadcasts, like OP's torrent.

Finished watching the jogging episode; so Matsumura is an auxiliar AD this season! That explains a lot. I liked the teamwork everyone did to help Arino, after all that trainwreck they did almost in the end, it was both hilarious and corny. I laughed really hard when Arino wanted the spotlight back at the end
>I was expecting that, at the ending line, we would make a final change to me, but Katayama didn't do anything in the end!
Very entertaining episode. I'll see the Tom sawyer one to be up to date.

>>708279
>They'll never do a Doom episode.

IF SOMEONE CAN JUST FIND A JAPANESE CART AND DONATE IT

>>707816
>>707819
>newest jap episode shouldn't be mentioned
These threads cater to those who enjoy both the original and subtitled episodes. It's unreasonable to expect that the current season not be mentioned. There's always plenty of talk about the latest episodes, and Last Continue has expressed interest in subbing them sooner rather than later. The Mickey sub was done and released by the time Jogging Race aired.

It ought to be Arino's first(?) PC game.

I know Japanese don't care for shootan gaems, but they also look at Metroid with ennui and he still did a couple of Metroid episodes.

>>709469
He's done lemmings

generals belong on
>>>/vg/

>>709472

Wasn't it the Super Famicom version?

I distinctly remember him holding up the SFC box

>Mighty Bomb Jack live event
>Arino asks the audience for people who are good at the game to come up and help him
>fat kid rolls on stage
>makes his own rules
>wastes a few lives
>uses up his saved power-ups
>leaves stage

>>709503
yeah snes version

>>709503
I assumed you meant PC ports since the person you replied to was talking about the DOOM SNES version

>>709530

Why would ANYONE recommend the SNES version of Doom, ever?

>>709545
It's the only way Arino would ever play it

>>709545
Because it's the most likely for him to challenge it?

I live in Japan and knowing the latest challenge is on now (and that GCCX is airing new episodes) is enough to make me want to pay for the satellite channels to see it.

>>709515
Oh shit, that part made me cringe.

Who is the girl in the Earthbound episode ?
I mean the one that brings Arino food, I have never seen her in any other episodes...

>>709478
/vg/ doesn't care about the show. GCCX threads don't survive there. These generals have been going on here for more than a month now. The mods have kept them clean and running smoothly, and there's only one thread each week. This definitely qualifies for "in the spirit of the board" as mentioned here >>>/q/591447

>>709549
>>709545
And you can overclock SNES Doom to run better than it was designed for. A few months ago, they managed to hex edit some of those Super FX games so that they can run at the fastest speed possible as opposed to being hard coded to some bullshit limit. Those older overclocks were done without hex editing.

Vanilla:

Overclocked w/ hex editing (compared to standard overclocking):

Only problem is that Doom is a large SNES game, and you'd need to burn the new data onto two EPROMs or something to that effect.

>>709691

She is qute gluttonous tho

>>709754

Awesome. I can't wait to watch it.

>>709716
Wow, I had no idea.

>>709787
Let's see if it's at all doable. SFC Doom, complete, goes for at least $89, that's pretty pricey for a game. Perhaps this could be a /vr/ endeavor?

Is there a chronological list of what to watch in order? Including episodes that are missing from our translated archives?

Nawwww, Arino would never be interested in playing an SNES version of Doom.

>>710069
It's not really too important. Sometimes they'll talk about how many wins and losses he's had in that season, so that could spoil the endings, but I don't remember cases of this happening over many seasons, salve for a couple of special challenges.

>>710083
It's not the same.

>>710083
Haha. I liked how annoyed the owner of the joint looked as Arino and crew were waltzing around.

>>710104
Nothing beats the woman at the arcade museum, though. She really looked pissed.

>>710098
You're right, I'm sure the Super Famicom version of Doom is completely different than the Super Nintendo version.

>>709821
It shouldn't be too hard to send them the game and with the numbers of fans here and other places it shouldn't be too expensive for each person. I want to believe.

>>710098

>>710117
>>710132
I mean, just because he pretends to be interested while in America doesn't necessarily mean he would want to do a challenge with it.

anyone know if there's a subbed version of the Mansion of Hidden Souls episode? really want to see Arino play through that one.

>>710142
oh god I wanna see that I love that game (i'm the only person in the world who loves it)

Unless it's the sega saturn version, that one is shit

LCGCCX is starting work on subbing the episode #160 Blaster Master. He also is working getting ready to sub the #158 Jogging Race episode. He is just waiting for a cleaned up video from one of the staff on the team. Can't wait.

I wonder if Arino can beat the first Batman game for the NES. The game stops fucking around at stage 3, and the game just becomes progressively more difficult with each stage. Stage 5 requires pixel perfect jumps to avoid getting hit, and some enemies have to have their patterns exploited to be defeated. This game is the hardest game I've played so far.

>>710150
I never actually played it, but when I was little I loved reading about it in the old Game Players magazines. something about its graphical style drew me in. I'm a sucker for those oldschool first person adventure games, especially that Jurassic Park on the Sega Cd, which was one of my favorites when I was younger.

They should mix things up a bit and start doing more co-op episodes. It'd be simple enough to do, just have one of the ADs not train on the game beforehand so they're as clueless as Arino is, and then they can go to town together.

Problem is, a lot of the better co-op games have already been done.

>>710104
Arino and the manager makes me laugh all the time recalling it. This is the funniest thing I've ever seen for some reason, pic very related.

>Been watching episodes in order
>Get to Ocarina of Time
>Debate whether or not to watch it because /vr/ says it's boring
>"Eh, they're probably just exaggerating"
>It was boring as fuck
That was just as bad as Gargoyle's Quest.
I will never doubt you again, /vr/.

>>710207
They're still better than Princess Tomato. Which reminds me... did he clear it? I slept halfway through the episode.

>>703186
>>703216
Here's Arino ripping on the Genesis and laughing like a madman.

>>710216
As much as I love Kibe, the Genesis was clearly inferior to the SNES.

>>710272
Please don't start a console war.

>>710210
I don't know either. I just stopped paying attention somewhere along the line.

>>710151
Awesome. I'm really thirsty for new episodes.

>tfw watched everything there is subbed

>>710162
>Problem is, a lot of the better co-op games have already been done.
I think they could have some fun with Turtles in Time or maybe even Smash TV.

>>710124
>It shouldn't be too hard to send them the game
I'm pretty sure that they don't accept physical submissions from fans, and they have to clear each game with the publishers. Someone fluent in Japanese could clarify this with Kibe on Twitter and possibly try to make arrangements.

>>710114
I think she was just a little irritated and unprepared for Arino's trademark gloating, but he smoothed it over.

>>710106
Should warn people that wikipedia has the results in the right column. It takes GREATU DISCIPRINE not to glance at it.

>>710086
>so that could spoil the endings
The Mario and Mega Man games specifically should be watched in chronological order to prevent spoilers, and seasons 3 and 4 should be watched back to back in their entirety for the same reason.

BLASTER MASTER UP ON YOUTUBE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F78AQtbkYiI

>>710621

>>710621
I want to watch it so bad, but... raw...

>>710643
Shit. This is the first time I see him speak without subtitles, and it feels really weird. Like something is paranormally wrong.

>>701865
>Which episodes have you watched recently?
Finally got around to watching Takeshi's Challenge live. HOLY HELL that hang gliding got tense near the end. Inoko MAX's Takeshi impression was pretty damn funny.

>>710652
>>710653

LC is reportedly making a Blaster Master sub a high priority, if you want to wait for that.

>>710653
No, the weird part is when you understand it.

>>710668
Yeah, I think I will. I'm glad that's happening, though, since Blaster Master is one of my favorite games.

>>710672
>No, the weird part is when you understand it.
I'm like halfway there. Japanese people just either mumble unintelligibly or speak too damn fast... The only person I can ever understand completely is the announcer (he repeats himself constantly) and narrator of the TamaGe segments. Seems like there are a lot of Japanese subtitles though so I must not be the only one having a hard time.

The Blaster Master episode reminded me of Super Metroid a bit. There was a little exploration shown, but it mostly focused on the boss fights. Some of them were really exciting. He didn't use the grenade trick at all.

>>710706
Yuuko from the TamaGe narrations/Catch Copy says "Arino" the way that I do, does that mean she's wrong?

>>710142
>>710150
>>710160
so apparently there's no subbed upload of this episode, but does anyone know if someone's working on it?

>>710272
On a technical perspective, it had a faster processor, which explains the loads of slowdown in almost all SNES games. A lot of SNES games were "me too" RPGs because of how easy they were on the CPU. But on the games front, it had a LOT of "old school" games that are very dated compared to the SNES library.

I want to try some Pon De Rings

Why does Arino suck at Mario Games? I just saw the Super Mario World episode. I mean holy shit.

>>711850
We all do. I think Japanese food is disgusting, but Arino always manages to have snacks and themed meals that look absolutely delicious.

>>711861
He must be doing it on purpose.

>>711861
I don't blame him, I suck too.

>>711861
Mario games have physics to them and are kinda slippery. Ninja Gaiden and other such games aren't as slippery and have tighter controls, taking less time to get used to.

>>711865
It's easy to think that since a lot of the show is scripted, but I'm not entirely sure about that at all.
The fact that you can see visible improvement in Arino's skill over the years he's been doing the show makes me doubt it's really intentional.

>>711489

Most of Season 16 is considered a low priority by the subbing teams at the moment.

>>711850

I want some of those cakes from the Bio Miracle episode.

>>711879
>It's easy to think that since a lot of the show is scripted
It's really just the intros on the cue cards and some of the contrived AD entrances. All of the game playing is genuine.

>>711972
>All of the game playing is genuine.
How can we really be sure?

>>711861
He never found or was told about the spin jump, that must make it a shit load harder

>>711981
Live specials

>>712080
How can we be sure that those aren't scripted either?

>>712093
>a script that plans for 24 hours of gameplay

Now that's just getting paranoid.

>>712110
It doesn't have to be 100% scripted. It could just be like:

>try to slowly advance to the last level during all the day, then end up the last level a few minutes before the end, to make for a tense, epic ending

>>711879

My theory is that it doesn't matter since he's one of those Japs who has zero work-life balance who gets maybe 14 hours of sleep total a week if he's lucky.

>>712119
But now you're assuming that Arino has the skill to do something like that.

You can script responses to a game, sure, but you can't script gameplay, let alone live gameplay, at least not the winning side of it. You could get him to, say, die over and over, but you can't get him to pull out a clutch win with 1 HP left unless he had some ridiculous gaming skill.

>>712093
Because even the tiny parts of those that ARE scripted often go off the rails. Did you watch Takeshi's Challenge Live? They do a bit at the beginning where Arino is supposed to be hiding obviously. They tell Nakayama to go find him, and he blows it by saying, "He's right there." Then, they only have two live hours available for the game, and Arino can't finish it in time, leaving the conclusion unaired.

>>712136
That's my point. What if Arino is secretly some really hardcore gamer who CAN pull out things like that? I'm not saying that it's necessarily the truth, but it could be.

>>712146
Then Arino truly is our Kacho.

>>712146
You're really stretching here. Have some reading material:

About a year and a half ago I spent a great deal of time researching what HDTV to buy with the only criteria being how fast it reacted for games. This is the TV I keep in my living room and I have several consoles hooked up to it... well I've always thought it was pretty good.

Then a few months ago I rediscovered my love of the NES and hooked one up to it.
I thought everything was mostly fine, I finished Ninja Gaiden on it for example, but last night I played Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. Now I'm not the world's best Punch-Out player but I'm decent. I can beat Tyson and most of the rest of the game I dominate, but last night I couldn't get past Soda Popinski... wtf?! I tried 4 times and lost every time...

So you know how this story ends. I go get a CRT out of the garage and all problems are fixed, I promptly get to Tyson (I lost to Tyson, but Soda Pop didn't even land a hit on me)... and now I'm upset about my TV.

The thing is, I picked this TV out for it's suitability for gaming, but it's still not good enough? So what I want to know is, has anyone beat Mike Tyson's Punch-Out on like a 55" HDTV? If so what model? I find it hard to believe it's even possible.

well to give the kacho some credit, he did beat ninja spirit in 2 hours, which it took the AD 2 hours just to beat the freefalling section just before the final boss.

then he calls up the producer, whom is flabberghasted. He then basically takes the rest of the day off.

>>712146
The chance of Arino being a "hardcore" gamer is as likely as Genghis Khan being nice to the Chinese.

>>712186
See >>712178
It's a pretty strong evidence that Arino is a hardcore gamer.

>>712167
Forget it. I've been looking for a good HDTV of that size, and 24ms at the TV's native resolution is the best I can find. Upscaled directly from something like an NES? Horrible.

If it's a small device designed to be a monitor, with multisync, it might be okay, but I don't know. LCD arcade monitors of this type are a thing now, after all.

>>712190
I would call Arino a special case.

He struggles on certain types of games very badly (facepalm levels of bad), but other games he does really, really well at.

>>712190
He got very lucky on the freefalling section (it happens), and the rest of that game is not very difficult.

>>712202
You just assume that it was luck, but we can't know for sure.
>>712204
That's because most of the time, he only pretends to be bad, because watching someone just easily ace games isn't very entertaining.

>>712190
>>712204
I would call him just a regular old school gamer, in the days of the games he was playing there was no "hardcore" or "casual" gamers, just people that played games because they liked to play games. To me that's what he is.

>>712216
It'd be hilarious if they revealed that all this time he really is a retro game master, and they've just been genuinely handicapping him with that LCD TV.

>>712216
Can you explain away Castlevania 3? Why did he and everyone else get stuck on that one level for 8 hours? They didn't pull off any miracles on that one. That game crushed his soul. He couldn't even beat it after jumping to the end with a password.

>>712216
>he only pretends to be bad
Jesus Christ, Arino has never pretended to be bad at a game.

>>712234
Script. They have to vary what happens from an episode to another.
>>712229
By hardcore gamer, I just meant someone who is really good.
>>712236
That might be want they want us to believe.

With Arino being so good at puzzle games, how come he has yet to play ANY of the Lolo games?

I'd especially would love to see him play lolo/lala 3

>>712240
Okay, we're being rused or /x/ed or something. Move along, folks.

>>712247
As I said, it's only a theory, but it's one that I'm seriously starting to believe in.

>>712240
Now you're just trolling. That's some serious tinfoil hatting.

Here's the teaser for the next episode. Any translators out there?

>>712290
My moonspeak is weak, but I think it's something along the lines of "Next time, it's Director Watanabe's challenge."

>>712307
>Director Watanabe's challenge
That sounds like it'll be a Kirby game to me.

>>712307
okay, I missed a word that in that; i believe it says "It's Director Watanabe's first challenge." presumably meaning it's her first time directing a challenge episode

>>712316
what's left of kirby for him to play that isn't a GBA game?

kirby's super start
kirby 64

kirby's avalanche doesn't count since he already did the original game (super poyoyo or something like that) which avalanche is a reskin of like Mario 2 is of Doki Doki Panic)

>>712334
So yeah, if I translated that right, there's no hint for what's the next episode.

The hint for the next episode also says they will tackle a new genre.

>>712360
First-person shooter.
Arino will play the SNES port for DOOM.

>>712290
`Next time it`s Director Watanabe`s first challenge`, no hint as to what game it will be.

>>712365
Oh man.

I fucking hope so. That would be great.

>>711861
Arino can't into momentum. ANYTHING with momentum will ruin him. That's why he could beat Ninja Gaiden but needed tons of help to beat Sonic the Hedgehog. Like at the point in Scrap Brain Zone where there are barrels that move up and down and can crush you, it never occurred to him to move back and start moving so that he'd be at a decent speed when the barrel moved up. He'd just hold right, push against it and barely make it when it came up, he died on those things constantly.

For that reason he has more trouble with Mario or Sonic than he does with games that should be much harder to the aforementioned games. It's not acting either because if he can clear the game in 2 hours, he will and has done that a couple times.

>>712240

Nigger have you even SEEN him play live. Stop being retarded

>>712638
I've watched Lemmings, Quest of Ki, and Bomb Jack. Your point is?

>>712638
Really, if anything, some of the live stuff is the most likely to be staged. Looking squarely at you, Mighty Bomb Jack.

>>712216
>because watching someone just easily ace games isn't very entertaining.
There have been plenty where he "just easily aced games." And yeah, they're boring.

I think it's safe to say some of the show is staged. But I don't see him always winning with one hit point left or with only one life remaining, And often times the show just ends by saying, "Yeah, he couldn't get the ending. But here it is anyway."

So yeah, you're wrong.

Here is what most likely happens.

>they give him a list of things to say during the intro
>they might have ADs or someone come in at certain points to help out of just do silly shit

Otherwise he just plays the game.

>>712864
I was just thinking about this the other day
they probably told male AD Takahashi to wear cardigans on the day of filming just so they could joke about it

>>712880
That's what they do on this show (and I'm guessing a lot of other Japanese TV shows).

They play up certain characteristics of the staff members to make them seem more interesting and amusing. I'm sure Takahashi likes his cardigans, but they probably had to tell him to wear a different one for each episode so that it could be played for laughs.
I hope the same applies for his apparent obsession over that one AKB48 girl. I don't understand how an entire nation could obsess over one group of musicians, much less one specific member of said group

>>712338
Dreamland 3

He did Super Star with his Yoiko partner.

>>712650
>>712716

I honestly don't get how you can think it's staged for some person to waste lives on Bomb Jack, or how Arino can fake his lack of skill, how they have to cancel a show that was supposed to be live to show Arino beating Quest of Ki, how they had a script for the opening of Takeshi's Challenge and Nakayama screwed that up, how he already beat Takeshi's Challenge and STILL spent time messing up because he didn't remember the game, etc. This conspiracy mindset bothers me when there's mountains for evidence for the unstaged and very little evidence for the staged. You think he wanted to fail his 40th birthday challenge on purpose?

>>712880
I doubt they explicitly created a character trait for Takahashi. Rather they just noticed something about him and ran with it.

The only episode I am fairly sure was mostly scripted was Kirby's Adventure. A lot of Arino's responses felt off somehow. And there's stuff in it like fighting the hammer mid-boss in one level WITH a hammer even though it's supposed to be the first time he met him.

>>705119
>made you look.png

>>714140
I don't know that game all that well, but sometimes stuff like that is just due to sloppy editing. Near the end of Link to the Past, he fights Ganon and loses. You can clearly see that he already had the Golden Sword and the Silver Arrows. They then make it look like he bombs open the fountain where you get those items AFTER that loss.

>>712360
Are you talking about this scene where they say he`s taking on a new project? Because in the upper right corner it says "Game Center CX is cheering for Touhoku and Kantou!" so it's probably a project to support the areas affected by the 3/11 earthquake and tsunami.

(Please tell me he's doing an event in Miyagi, that's where I live and I would so go there)

>>713032
They're in commercials, on posters and variety shows, there music is played all over, etc, it's pretty hard to be ignorant of them. The vast majority of people who watch any TV here can name a few members and may have one they like (either find attractive/cool or like seeing on TV).

I haven't spent 1 yen on their music or any goods, but if I get asked who in AKB I like by friends, etc I say Mariko Shinoda, because she's pretty tall and hot.

>>712190

I once beat Ikaruga without using continues, but just because I did it once doesn't mean I can beat Wizardry 4 or Ghosts 'n Goblins.

>>714337

So what the hell are those triangles I see on windows everywhere in Tokyo?

I thought she was just the show's official Tamage Eater.

Just watched the Blaster Master episode, and holy shit it did not disappoint. Though this >>711096 did bother me a little, I think when most people think of Blaster Master/Meta Fight they think of the long freaking labyrinthine levels and their atmosphere, as well as the powers ups and backtracking. I mean, am I the only one whose mind was blown by getting the wall/ceiling climbing powerup? you don't even see much of it in the video.

But yeah the episode itself was fantastic, loved the tamage and general shooting shenanigans.

also clocktank

>>716124
Translation when?

>>716124
>Just watched the Blaster Master episode, and holy shit it did not disappoint.
My frothing demand for this episode increases.

>>716124
Why was such a great game completely ignored by the japanese players at the time, anyways? It's also leagues better than Wing of Madoola.

BTW, Arino interrupting that guy and using up his lives during the Tamage was hilarious.

>>716173

no idea, but LCCX is working on it, apparently.

it was actually my first time watching a GCCX raw all the way through and it was still enjoyable as hell and not too hard to figure out what was going on. i'll definitely still watch the translation though because damn, some of those fucking moments

>>716198

no idea. it's been my favorite nes game since i was a kid, and i still think it did metroid a bit better than metroid did.

>>716203
You're not much of a fan, I see.

I watch 'em raw whenever they come out, it'll take a long time for those new episodes to get fully subbed.

>>716208
With LCGCCX, it won't take that much, they seem to work nice and fast.

>>716208
>You're not much of a fan
Hell of an ignorant thing to say. It's more likely that he just doesn't know Japanese.
When I want to watch GCCX, I want the best possible experience. I don't want to watch it in a language I don't understand, miss half of it, and generally not do the episode justice.

>>716216
Well, it's true that the episodes are a lot more enjoyable when you can understand them, but I'm a guy who just hates waiting.

The only ones I find unwatchable are the Adventure/Quiz game ones, because they rely a lot on text.

>>716208

jeez dude. not a whole lot i can do about it.

>>711096
>>716124
>boss fights
Those were pretty damn thrilling.
ZETTO-HACHIJUUHACHI!

>>716364
Yeah, they've been the best ones in a while.

Especially since the last episode was so underwhelming.

>>716364

That easily goes in my top ten favorite boss fights from the series. Everyone in the room was freaking out repeatedly. KOWAI KOWAI KOWAI!

Watching the wing of madoola episode (1986). I'm laughing my ass off as he wants to be part of a contest so badly that happened 27 years ago.

Calls up Sun Denshi and asks about the contest cause he found they keyword he needs to send to them in a postcard, then calls Kibe about it.

I hate this english announcer though, I'd prefer just subtitles.

>>716364

yeah, i liked them, but i was more looking forwards to arino getting lost as shit in the main sophia areas. whenever i play the game the bosses seem like afterthoughts to the stage/dungeon designs to me.

>>716780
>I hate this english announcer though, I'd prefer just subtitles.
It's on the DVD >>701870
It's a mixed bag, but there are some really terrific episodes there.

>>716820
The episode might actually have been even better if he was a little worse at the game. If he didn't make it as far but still wanted to continue, they could have extended it to a second episode and shown more exploration.

>>716926
Yeah, I felt there was just too much for one episode.

It totally shoulda been a two-parter, it sure deserved being one more than Metro-Cross...

>>716780
there are subtitled episodes though

This. Dad was an Air Force kid who spent a few years there. Ate Spam all the time.

>>717818

Southernmost Game and Balloon Fight? Those have been out for a while. GCCXKachoOn apparently just uploaded them to YouTube.

Trickster!

>>717828

Which episode is that from?

>>718428
Southernmost game travelogue.

>>718432

Oh, snap! That means there's a subbed episode I haven't seen! Thanks anon. My day is now rather a lot better than it otherwise would've been.

Apparently one of the SA translators wrote and published a 900-page book about GCCX.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CZOP4C8

"For ten years, Shinya Arino has played some of the toughest old video games for the hit television series Game Center CX, also known as Retro Game Master. The Japanese television show has drawn fans from around the world who watch the comedian attempt to beat the classic video games.

Full write ups of every challenge and the games used in them.

Profiles of the show's crew and the gaming hardware that they use.

An index to the over 1100 games that Arino has encountered.

Minute by minute break downs of the live specials.

Eh... Do they plan to distribute a physical version?

OP, fb.com will automatically convert to the proper bacefook page in your browser and shouldn't set off any spam filters here.

>>718537

Apparently it's e-book only at least for the moment but other formats than Kindle will be "coming eventually", he just had to put it on Amazon first.

>>718590
That makes sense. Physical distribution is quite an investment. I'll probably order the Kindle version anyhow.

>>718516

Awesome. Although I'll probably wait until it goes physical before buying it.

>>718881

Best AD. He's just so incredibly jovial, it's hard not to get caught up in it.

>>718881
Takahashi has the best faces

>>718892
Nakayama is best AD. He reminds me of myself in many ways

>>707482

>>719014
nice

>>718893
This has to be the funniest scene in the entire show, man.

I seriously burst out laughing.

>>718881

>>719014
Another version

>>719029
>>719014
I want a xbone version

So, what games do you want to see Arino playing next?

I think he really needs to play the sequel to Legend of Mystical Ninja, Ganbare Goemon 2. Earthworm Jim would also be pretty cool.

>>718537

As someone who self-publishes... it's retarded they don't have a print-on-demand version...

>>708370

Dude looks very Korean

Are Japanese finally getting over their stupid grudges?

>>719046
What episode was this from, again?

>>719385
>PANIC.png

where are the dubbed episodes

>>719131
>Are Japanese finally getting over their stupid grudges?
>stupid
No. Just no. You must be living in a place with 0 immigration to say such an ignorant thing.

>>719449
/po/ pls go

>>719405
You don't need 'em, trust me, the dub is pretty terrible.

Get these ones instead: https://mega.co.nz/#F!YtlAEABQ!cLf_4jvGWMIweRvjKqkGxA!94UmzBzR

>>719478
What's wrong with Papercraft & Origami?

>>719504
I want to see them once just to see how terrible they are. I expect that some guy with a really exaggerated voice does a lot American references to movies and hamburgers with fart sounds mixed in. Like they did with Takeshi's Castle.

>>719580
no, it's not like that, they aren't really bad in amusing way, they are just annoying

>>719580
That sounds like a pretty awful dub, seriously. Why would you ruin the source material like that?

This show's dub isn't much better, either. It ain't worth even watching.

>>719504

What exactly is this? The DVD challenges with subtitles?

>>719580
>MXC

That shit seriously made me want to cry.

>>719580

I haven't watched all the dubs so I can't tell if there are american jokes but the voice over is badly out of place, it was enough to just imitate the original narrator but the guy sounds like a infomercial pitchman, never changes the tone, it's ALL CAPS all the time.

>>719647

From what I can tell, it's a direct rip of the Retro Game Master DVD, which should have subtitles by somebody off the SA translation team. Downloading it myself to check it out.

Someone subbed another episode of Lincoln, Horror Night Radio.

>>719753
If I see that fucking picture one more time...

>>719678
wow seriously?

waiting for blaster master subs is suffering. I watched up to the tama-ge and first boss battle. I understood a few phrases after watching so much j-shows (hazukashii, etc.) But I'd rather have the full effect with subtitles before I go further.

>>709469
I want Arino to play Lost Vikings on Super Famicom

but I think it's not even translated. also they'd have to ask fucking Blizzard-Activision to be able to show it.

>>719939

but it is:

>dat fucking weaboo cover

>>719951
holy fuck, somebody send him a copy.

>>719939
Oh god, please yes. I only played two, it's so fucking good.

>>718516

I'll add that to my product posts for next time.

>>718556
>fb.com
I totally forgot about that. I'll start posting them that way.

>>719939
genny version is better. 5 exclusive levels, better music, and 6 button controller feels like it was made for this game

>>719960
They don't take physical submissions. The best thing to do is to tweet it to Kibe @kbmsgccx and hope that they can clear it with the game's publishers.

>>720031
>Mega Drive for LV1
>PS1 for LV2
That may be the way to go.

>>720031
>>720037
AFAIK, only the Super Famicom version of Lost Vikings got a Japanese translation, and no version of Lost Vikings 2 came out in Japan.

>>719960
>haha, those are some excited vikings
>arino is amused by the cute viking charectures

>>720108

Super Famicom it is. Lost Vikings gets mentioned so much that we need to make this happen. As >>720032 said, anyone on Twitter should let Kibe know.

>>719405
>where are the dubbed episodes

You can watch or rip most of them from this DM page from the OP:

https://www.dailymotion.com/user/GameCenter-CX/1

They're bad. Don't say we didn't warn you.

>>720032
>The best thing to do is to tweet it to Kibe @kbmsgccx and hope that they can clear it with the game's publishers.

I bet a guy like Kibe speaks fruent engrish. because I sure as fuck don't know moonspeak. but we could googletranslate what we wanna say or do it with a dictionary in order to tweet him about it.

any moonspeak dude here who can tweet him this suggestion?

>>720032
>hope that they can clear it with the game's publishers.

they would have to ask fucking Blizzard now, wouldn't they?

well, as they always say in Blast Corps before a mission starts: "I h-hope t-this works!".

>>720014
>I only played two, it's so fucking good.

I played LV1 first and LV2 just 2 years ago. both great, great games. both would be perfect for a challenge.

LV2 was really charming for their very concrete themes of the settings.

>medieval/fantasy
>some aztec ruins stuff I believe
>pirate ships

shit nigga that's kawaii

funny to see American games being japanese-localized, we're all used to japanese styles being redone in grimacing western realism but it's less common to see the reverse happen

>>720357
Someone should just tweet Ghostcrawler/Greg Street about it then, he's chill and responds to everything.

There is for sure some people at Blizzard who watch Retro Game Challenge. Probably not the people who would have to clear it legally but maybe some people who could help pull strings.

>>720032
>@kbmsgccx

he can't be found on twitter. did he put it on private or something?

>>720389
>he's chill and responds to everything.

Lich detected.

>tomator and vikings in japanese cartoon style

FUCK YES. looks gorgeous

>>720378
I got stuck at a futuristic stage.

>>720384
wait a moment. the publisher is T&Esoft. aren't they a jap publisher? or do they belong to the same group as blizzard?

>>720423
Blizzard are the devs, not sure who they have to ask

>>720423

Yeah, they're a Jap publisher and developer, but they'd still have to get the OK from Blizz as well.

>>720415
keep playan. later stages can be ridiculously hard if you don't know how do platform right
