OLD THREAD:

>>701865

>Are you currently playing any games featured in the challenges?
Suffering through the first Donkey Kong Country episode last night as inspired me to replay the game today
man I fucking love DKC, even if 2 has better levels

>Stage San no Ni
>subtitles: Stage 3-1
I may not know Japanese, but I at least know a little bit. What pisses me off is that right after that typo appears a box with "Stage 3-2". Did they really make that box and didn't notice the typo?

Things like that makes me get mad at zari-gani, since she and her ego kicked off the Last Continue guy.

Informal summary of last thread:

Blaster Master was great. LC is working on subbing it right now.

SA is reportedly subbing Mendel Palace and some unknown stuff from Season 15.

Tons of people now want Arino to play Lost Vikings. An official request has been sent. Only the Super Famicom version was translated into Japanese, so that's what he would play. We don't want to muck things up by spamming them, so let our official runespeakers handle the requests.

>>720994
They should really sub the Jake Hunter episode, I love the series.

>>720986

I have yet to see a single episode without some sort of error, although some are worse than others. There's one where it refers to Arino as 38 years old, but the subtitle says 36 (or vice versa). The numbers are displayed right by each other. I'm not qualified to translate, but I sure as hell could look their stuff over for that type of error before publishing.

>>721010
They make a lot of mistakes, mostly with numbers. They may make more, my japanese knowledge is too small to know if they got something big wrong. I pratically only know the numbers and some words like abunai.

>>721019
>I pratically only know the numbers and some words like abunai.
Numbers and exclamations are definitely the easiest things to pick up just by watching and listening. Numbers only get a little strange after 10,000, as the Japanese system goes by 10,000s (man/oku/cho) instead of 1,000s (thousand/million/billion/trillion). That's about the limit of my knowledge.

>>721041
>cho
*chou
Oops. Close enough.

>>721041
>Numbers only get a little strange after 10,000
Is that how the number on that bootleg cart got translated so horribly?

>>721060

I think so. They literally should have just typed out all of those 9s instead of trying to translate every word of that number.

Can someone who knows moonrune answer me something? What does Jinguuji means? Is it some joke with detective like Gumshoe's name?

>>721004
Which number episode is that? I don't see it in the list.

>>721086
134, right after Battletoads.

>>721086
134. The Japanese name for the series is different so he probably should have said that instead

>>721091
>>721096
Got it. Thanks.

>>720986
That's depressing to hear. What is it with fansubbers being insufferable cunts? Anime has it the worst, but it seems GCCX gets some of that shit occasionally as well.

>>721085

If it's 神宮寺, it's a Buddhist temple housed in a shrine. That seems unlikely, though; what's the context?

Here's something I tried to do: http://imgur.com/a/co7od
It's all the arino pics I have with their respective sauce. But I don't have the name of all episodes, so some help would be appreciated.

And this is literally the SA page, but in a image(too big to upload it): http://puu.sh/31fF5.jpg

>>721114
it's not as bad as he makes it sound
basically, the LC guy didn't come with his own checker, so SA-GCCX didn't accept him into the team.
>the joke is that this whole thread so far has been about mistakes in zari's GCCX subs

>>720939

>>721121

The Japanese name of the Jake Hunter episode is Detective Saburou Jinguuji: Shinjuku Central Park Murder Mystery

>>721129
Still, that's pretty shitty, and quality, as usual, suffers as a result. The load being split between people will mean a higher quality, even if it's not due to the work being checked directly.

More episodes and a better quality, denied due to a fansubber's ego.

>>721121
Detective Jinguuji, a detective series.His full name is Jingūji Saburō and according to wikipedia, in kanji his name is 探偵神宮寺三郎(must have Tantei in there too).

>>721114
Tthis guy got it >>721129. I like translating some things to my main languageportuguese, but I really do it for fun. I do it so much for fun that most of the time I don't even finish it.

>>721128
>http://imgur.com/a/co7od
WOW that's a great idea. If we can get a lot of eyes on that, I'm sure we can fill in the gaps.

>>721157
Thanks, I got some new pics I need to add, too. And if someone has a better place to host it than imgur(I think that the albums are a mess for this purprose), I would really appreciate it.

>>721129
>this whole thread so far has been about mistakes in zari's GCCX subs
Here's a few errors from LC's Mickey sub to round things out.
>one of the red fruit
*one of the red fruits
>Yuuko Taeda
*Yuuko Takeda
>The last seen
*The last scene

>>721141
>>721149

I don't know if it's a reference to anything in particular, but it's certainly a standard Japanese surname, just as Saburou is a standard Japanese (male) forename. 探偵神宮寺三郎 is read Tantei (探偵) Jinguuji (神宮寺) Saburou (三郎), where tantei = detective.

It just looks like a normal name to me, much like Jake Hunter is in English (though I guess 'hunter' might be considered somewhat appropriate for a detective). I'd ask a native Japanese speaker what kind of connotations 神宮寺 has as a name and which series it may be referencing if any.

>>721190
Ok, thanks.

>>721132

What I most like from the show is how much the staff believe in the Arino. What about you guys?

>>721238
I just love his lighthearted determination even in really brutal conditions.

>>721238
he has a penchant for being able to pull off miracles at the last moment.

>>721080
Metal Storm was a great episode. It really got me interested in a game that I missed growing up.

He obviously never played Adventure's Island.

>>721265
I hope you're being sarcastic...

>>721269
It was an AD who said that, not Arino

>>721270
Ah yes, I remember now, it was at the end of the episode.

It was Takahashi. I mixed that up for some reason.

>>721238
I like it more when nobody believes in Arino and he proves the entire staff wrong.

Even better if you can hear the staff getting exited behind the camera as he's doing something amazing.

>>721289
Sometimes you can hear them laughing when he's just talking or doing nothing at all.

>>721298
Yeah, it's always the same guy, but I guess it beats a laugh track.

>>721305
Who is it?

>>721336
No idea. There's planty of nameless, faceless staff in the show. I don't think the guy's been on camera, but I might be wrong.

>>720548
Finland, reporting in. GCCX was actually mentioned in a Finnish gaming mag earlier this year, they'd interviewed zari-gani an' everything. Would post scans but I won't be home 'til Tuesday.

It's clearly Technician Suda, he has a perverted laugh.

>>721910

He's "VE" Suda, isn't he? What does VE stand for, anyway? Something engineer?

>>722009
Possibly Video Engineer.

Also, anyone in here good at Japanese? I would like to know how to write out one of Arino's "Words of Wisdom", preferably the one referring to the Hudson Soft continue system. The one where he said something along the lines of "When I die, I want someone to write on my tombstone 'to continue, hold left and press A'", or whatever did he actually say. Thanks again.

>>722046

Same anon here. I can transcribe it for you if you have an image or tell me which episode it's in/roughly where it is. What are you after it in? Native Japanese script?

>>722058

Also, just checked my Japanese dictionary, and "video engineer" is indeed a term they use. Doesn't seem to have currency in English, though. Thanks anon.

>>721794
Was it on Pelit magazine or something else? Which issue?

>>722058
In Japanese script please. Whatever would make the most sense really to a Japanese speaker. What I'm planning on doing is making a custom NES controller with the left cross and A button colored gold, with both of them having a line coming down to the middle with the aforementioned saying. Unfortunately, I don't know which episode it was where he said it, but I do know he wrote something similar in, I think, Milon's Secret Castle, on a piece of paper.

I think the gravestone one was from Adventure Island. All I know it was in a Hudson Soft game episode.

>>722063
Pelaaja. I'm pretty sure it was January's issue.

>>722063
>>722097
Just checked, it was actually last December. Issue #123.

>>722097
>>722107
Oh okay, thanks.

>>722062
In English it's called "broadcast engineer".

>>722068

I've found the note. It reads:

コンティニューは口左押しながらスタート

("To continue, hold left and push start")

Where 口 should be replaced with the D-pad as in the image.

Still looking for the other one. Are you sure it was in the Adventure Island episode?

>>721157
>http://imgur.com/a/co7od
>'This game is fun, What the hell?'
The Battletoads ep, I literallly just saw it.

>>722153

Still can't find it, so I'm going to wait until someone tells me where it is or posts an image.

>you will never play Kacho Invaders

>>722227
It's just Space Invaders, but with obnoxious sound effects.

>>722291
>obnoxious

nigga you gonna get stitches

>>722319
But Arino agrees with me.

>>722226
It was Milon's Secret Castle, I just finished watching that episode. It was about 23 minutes in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5GWs7xaJto

>>722397
One of the best episodes.

>>722397

I mean the remark about the gravestone. The message wasn't too bad to track down.

I love how holding left and pressing start is the way to continue in some of the games in bpth Arino's Challenge games.

>>722424
It's at the very end of the episode. 56:49

>>722430

Ah, thanks. After all that, he says virtually the same thing, but there's an extra word between コンティニュー and は that I can't make out. It sounds something like とき or どき but I suspect it's one I don't know. Any anon with a better grasp of Japanese able to take up the slack?

Ah, thanks. After all that, he says virtually the same thing, but there's an extra word between コンティニュー and は that I can't completely make out. It's very likely

コンティニュー時は左押しながらスタート

which can be translated exactly the same way as before (the subtitles do exactly this). The extra 時 ("time") just makes it more "when it's time to continue" than simply "(in order) to continue". You might want to wait for an anon with better Japanese to confirm this, though.

Let us know how your pad project goes, anon!

>>722508

Meant to reply to >>722430 and >>722068

The 3DO "if I wanted to watch a movie" one is from Ghouls 'n Ghosts about 30:00 in.

>>721128
"Is this a game? I don't think this is a game!" with that platter on a stand thing is Ninja Gaiden 2 (Part 1), I believe.

>>721128

The one with Dr. Wily "an all right guy" is the original Mega Man.

"Tokimori" Memorial should be labeled Tokimeki Memorial.

>>721794
Swedish megafan reporting in.

Also, the second game needs its fan translation completed. I want to play it badly!

>>722197
>>722729
>>722732
>>722739
Updated with these. If you want to put a image that isn't there, feel free to post here with the episode name.

>>722732
Why is the Ninja Gaiden 2 resolution so small? I downloaded from the 60GB torrent, isn't there a better one?

>>723018
I also changed the layout of the album, I think it's better this way.

CA BAN is awkward as fuck whenever he comes on camera

>>723048
He has a punchable face

>>722227
I honestly wonder, was this a remake of the game to run on modern hardware (IE a port), or did they actually manage to make hardware from 1978 to play digital voices with the help of special audio hardware?

>>722153
>>722508

Thanks for your help. So "コンティニュー時は左押しながらスタート" means "Hold Left and Press Start", no need for symbols or the like, correct? Thanks again!

>>722291
>not wanting the obnoxious sound effects

>>723018
>Why is the Ninja Gaiden 2 resolution so small? I downloaded from the 60GB torrent, isn't there a better one?
I ripped mine from dailymotion (not ancientcircle's account). The episode numbers are slightly mislabeled, but they're very high quality:

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xnevi2

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xnevbw

>>723383
Look at the resolution. Same goes for clocktower.

>>723495
Forgot the pic.

>>723256

I'd figure it's a port to a mid-level arcade system or the like. I mean, in '82, BEWARE I LIVE was serious hot shit, and if it would be possible to make something give out much better audio based on '78 hardware, then you can't really call it '78 hardware anymore.

>>723506

Well, I've got this.

>>723752
Could you upload the 2 parts? Clocktower too if you have it.

>>723758

My net's pretty shit, so probably not.

Actually, check the old thread - somebody posted a MEGA link there with a rip of the Retro Game Master DVD - I think both Ninja Gaiden 2 and Clock Tower are on there.

>>723743
I'm pretty sure it's on something like TypeX hardware. I was trying to find an image from the event where the GCCX staff was ceremoniously moving the hardware to its last stop, but couldn't actually find anything but this shitty picture.

It's not on a raw PCB, it's on something that looks a bit more like a small, self-contained PC, which suggests something relatively modern.

If you have about $100 lying around...
http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-338571.html

>>723882
It is on a PCB though, they were giving away sealed cardboard boxes containing said PCB as a prize. I'm sure it will be dumped eventually. It's probably the same hardware as Space Invaders DX but with different sound hardware and ROMs.

>>723770
I'm downloading now. Too bad it's the DVD versions, so no segments.

>>724161
>It is on a PCB though, they were giving away sealed cardboard boxes containing said PCB as a prize.
Nope. Further inspection reveals that it's TypeX2.

Just realized I'm lacking the Shiren the Wanderer episodes!

I'm so happy right now! It means i have more GCCX to watch!

Time to download

>>724507
Okay, found a torrent, it's downloading. It's one file though, is it both episodes in one?

>>724184
Just get the segments from SA Team

>want to watch GCCX

Which one was it with "game overe" and the french music?

>>725358
Metal Storm.

I saw the southernmost game special, I liked the part where he was trying to say something important, but some planes keep passing by and people couldn't hear what he wanted to say.

>>725405
Too bad that part is obviously scripted.

>>725414
Why is that a problem?

>>725462
It takes the fun out for me.

>watching USA special
>he almost fucking plays doom
>those shitheads don't fix the H/V hold on the TV
I WANT HIM TO PLAY DOOM SO GODDAMN BAD

>Are you currently playing any games featured in the challenges?

After seeing him struggle so much through Sonic (while probably in more pain than he let on), a game that I could play trough in my sleep when I was younger I just had to replay it.
Also because I don't remember if I ever went for all the emeralds back in the day.
Long story short, I succeeded in gathering them all on my first playtrough and finishing it.

>>725414
>>725471
It was a comedy bit. The whole point is that it was obviously scripted to happen as the planes went by. That's why it was funny.

>>725867

Arino seems to have trouble with games where the character needs to build up and deal with momentum like in Sonic and Mario. He can't into inertia.

>>725929
Also every ice-themed level.

Usually I love watching Arino play games, but watching him play Super Mario Kart and F-Zero was just making me cringe. How is he so bad at racing games?

>>725970
I still wonder how much of it, if any, is that TV he uses. I really want to know the model number and information about it.

this seems like somewhat of a taboo question but I'm going to ask it
where can I find a torrent of the DVD
I want to watch the slotaku episodes with original audio and subs but I can't buy the DVD right now

>>725983
14 posts above yours.
Make sure to buy the DVD when you can afford it.

>>725970
During a Lets Play segment, he cleared a course in Outrunners after commenting that he'd played it before.
There was also that F-Zero AX machine he really loved and was semi-seriously considering buying.
He seems to enjoy arcade racers, but playing the ones with gears, pedals and a steering wheel and playing one at home using a controller are two different things.

Did the last thread scream by extra fast?

>>726005
>buy the DVD
Not once, not never.

>>726005
oh wow I feel stupid for checking everywhere on the internet except nyaa and then not reading the thread
I promise I will buy it

>>726015
Yes. Blaster Master plus talk of requesting Lost Vikings as a challenge game. It went about twice as fast as the previous thread.

>>726020
>not wanting to support Arino

>>720968
>Kachou On!: The Unofficial Guide to Game Center CX (Amazon Kindle e-book)
I bought this and have read through the first season.
My impressions so far:
>lots of info and stats
>very poor proofreading
It has plenty of interesting bits, but there are an average of about two or three typos or grammatical errors PER PAGE. It hasn't taken away too much from my enjoyment, but it would benefit from a competent editor.

When they mentioned Arino was a 'gamer', they're not talking about the kind of basement-dwelling nintenyearold you're accustomed to associating it with.

Arino sucks at a lot of these games because he is an arcade gamer, not a console gamer. Give him an arcade cabinet to sit at and he's above average- set him down with a famicom controller and he's pretty 'eh' because he's not used to playing these sort of games as much.

We know he had a Playstation when he was younger, but aside from that?

>>726113
>Give him an arcade cabinet to sit at and he's above average
No, he's not, he's even worse.
Besides, even if that were true, he'd be BETTER when presented with a console game.

>>726113
nah he had a super famicom as well
he mentions it during the F-Zero episode

he just sucks at games.

>>726113
But hes terrible during the arcade trips too

>>720994
>Tons of people now want Arino to play Lost Vikings. An official request has been sent.

Dude the SNES received fucking butchered ports of Genesis games.

>>726239
it's the only version to have an official Japanse version.

>>726113
He's mentioned he played many of the games he challenges when he was younger.

He just doesn't sit on the computer all day watching Let's Plays of obscure retro games and playing Sengoku Rance, like I do.

>>726239
It's the only option. The Genesis version was never released in Japan, and Lost Vikings 2 wasn't released there in any form.

>>726249
>>726253
I know that, but still. I wouldn't even let HITLER of all people play the SNES version. SNES versions of Genesis games are fucking terrible, they're only good because

>"Y-yeah, we got Earthworm Jim after a whole year! N-Nintendomination!"

>>726239
no Japan mega drive version. and I prefer LV on the genny, but I wouldn't say that the SNES version is butchered.

>>726259
did I accidentally get sent back to 1993 or something?

Sorry about your parents getting divorced, it's not your fault anon

>>726259
There's no need for this level of anger, and please keep console war stuff out of here. Just state your opinions in a civil manner.

>>726259

ITT: Console peasantry

Here's a cool wallpaper I found.

>>726318
I love it.

Two subtitle mistakes I caught in the "Kacho in USA special"

- When he's playing Street Fighter in the arcade the narrator says "After a vigorous battle", but it's gets translated as "After some observation", probably because the word "kento" when pronounced can mean either observation (検討) or vigorous battle (健闘)

- When Arino's going to the event at the end, the subtitle say "On top of that, it's a holiday" when in fact the narrator says "On top of that, it's a weekday". That one is just sloppy.

>>726362

>>726073

It doesn't help that the author clearly thinks in Japanese but produces English text; the sentences are clipped are don't flow properly at all. He may be a decent translator, but he needs to keep his Japanese and English separate. Too many sentences in that book read like semi-literal translations of Japanese into English.

>>726113
He plays lots of games, but he's also bad at a lot of the types of games they play on the show (his favorite games are JRPGs like Dragon Quest). There's also the added pressure of playing while on camera.

>>726472
for more TV-Nihon GCCX failures

http://onoretvn.tumblr.com/tagged/Game-Center-CX

>>726510
Well gacha are vending-machine prizes

Guess they didn't really know a good phrase to translate it to...

But yeah TV-Nihon subs are pretty wonky,

Little off-topic here, but the latest Gaki no Tsukai was pretty damn related.

>>727071
Downtown CX!
Matsumoto... outo!

Arino didn't appear, though. The guys played Arcanoid, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong and 1942.

Also, YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA all over the place.

I was shitting bricks and cuming loads, both at the same time.

>>727904
Is there any video site that still has those up?

Someone actually uploaded HD-quality versions on Youtube once. I don't know why I didn't download 'em.

>>728306
I didn't even knew someone uploaded. But I saw those ADs on the GCCX episode, and it really looks like a nice series.

Now that I finished downloading, where should I put them. I don't know if I make a folder just for the episodes called "DVD episodes" or if I just put it together with the rest.

>>728343

I have my shit sorted by season, and I'd sort the DVD episodes amongst the other stuff from the same season, then grab the translated segments from SA and put them next to that.

Just get the DVD if you want them that bad. Though I think theres download links in this thread anyway

>>729281
The only download links I've ever been able to find of a subbed version have been on MEGA and those simply don't work

>>729298
What?

>>729298

How do they not work? I watched a couple of those episodes yesterday - they downloaded and played just fine.

>>729313
>>729309
Not the videos themselves; the two I actually managed to get from the Mega link worked beautifully. I meant the site itself - I'd get to 91% of each file downloaded and the site would just stop downloading and never complete

>>729316

Hm, not sure about that - it might have been server issues or the like.

Ok this has been bugging the crap out of me but what is the title sequences saying ( the audio ) right before they do the 'ode to Joy' piece '_______ ______ _____ Broadcast' I can't quite make it out.

It sounds something like "releasing" or "receiving", but I can't make it out either. It's almost better as a mystery.

No problem.

>For the OP, put this link when you remake the thread.
I need to stick to the rules. I can’t post any direct links to content licensed for sale in the United States. The raw episodes and the various fansubs aren’t licensed for sale outside of Japan, so I’m fine with posting those.

I know that some people are going to download the RGM DVD content no matter what anybody says, but anyone intending to do so should have the knowledge and motivation to use basic search functions within the links provided here and within the archive.

I want to stay neutral on this subject. As OP, expressing any strong opinion has the potential to alienate substantial groups of people. I’m trying not to be controversial or divisive. Hopefully, most people will understand that I’m posting as much as I can within the rules.

>>730895
can you post where we might be able to buy some of the other merchandise? such as keychains etc?

>>730938

If anyone can help me find the best places to locate other merchandise, I'd be happy to add those links. You're all my research assistants. Lots of people have been very helpful in building these threads.

>>729316

Had that problem yesterday, it was infuriating with the biggest files when mega stopped for no reason on my crappy 1mb connection but today links worked fine, already re-encoded most of them to smaller 360p.

Capped for future reference.

>>730938
>>730964
Unfortunately, there really isn't much official merchandise that is easily available. The official site doesn't really have anything interesting and they're all sold out anyways (http://eshop.fujitv.co.jp/product/category/B002029-1.html)), although that might change in the future. Japanese DVD sets are expensive and like the RGM DVD set don't have the Tamage segments (no subs, too). It's likely that a lot of goods are GCCX event exclusives but that's probably out of reach for most of us.

If you want to get your hands on GCCX merch, it looks like the RGM DVD set and DS game are your only options. You can also try the second DS game, which is Japanese only, but region free (text heavy, but I think there's a patch being worked on).

Links to sites for purchasing products is allowed, as long as they aren't for personal gain. Links to illegally download stuff are prohibited, although that rule is obviously routinely ignored.

It's open to interpretation whether or not Global Rule 1 includes illegally downloading material which would could be bought legally. /t/ Rule 1 is pretty clear about not posting US licensed stuff, though.

>>731461

Episode 58 - when he was traveling by van in the morning.

>>732468
Don't recognize. From an unsubbed episode or am I having amnesia (I've seen everything)

>>732387
Basically this, Some of the Specials have episode numbers ( 50, 58, 78 etc respectively for Korea, RGM launch, Fukuoka , otyhers ) and some don't ( USA, North/South Trips, Cambodia/In Asia ). GCCXKachoOn's labeling system is not awful, but most of the eps are uploaded out of numerical order so it can make find them in order a chose.

This more YT's fault for not having a sort by: Ascending/Descending option though.

>>732489
It's subbed, the AD is Emoto. Can't remember the episode.

>>732501
Specials that aren't numbered, are that. Specials. You can watch it first or last. You can watch 90% of the series without order.

That's actually one of the weaker ones, so you got that out of the way. Try the Mario episodes in order (to avoid spoilers). SMB Lost Levels, SMB3, SMW, SM64. Doki Doki Panic and Yoshi's Island are also really great platforming episodes.

So is there any reason other than petty rivalry that SA team doesn't list LC's subs on their episode guide? I mean, it can't be because they don't think the subs are up to standard, considering they have fucking TV-N on there

>>733885
The basics are here >>721129
>basically, the LC guy didn't come with his own checker, so SA-GCCX didn't accept him into the team.
I guess there's been a mutual grudge since then. It's still no excuse for the petty bullshit, though.

>>733901
And yet /vr/ always does the same amount of hyperbolic bitching if anyone ever brings any "negativity" into GCCX threads, banning any who dare say the wrong thing and therefore bringing negativity themselves.

But no, right, GCCX is a harmonious and undivided fan community. I imagine soon people will be shanking one another at the retro game store over their preference of favorite AD.

>>733901
If someone has a physical mailing address for the SA translation team I'd be glad to send them a box of checkers complete with board.

>>733918
Ironically, your complaint about calling out negativity was fairly negative itself. There's nothing wrong with having strong opinions, but we should try to express them in ways which don't start pointless arguments. Polite sage for off topic.

I'm not sure if you guys know, but there's a synchtube like website out right now
If anyone is interested then we can maybe start a GCCX room there

>>734525
There is no sub for the Director's Cut of the LTTP episode, but lot of stuff was cut out. If you don't mind the fact that it has no subs, it is a great watch. It scomes out to an hour long for the challenge.

>>734525
It would be hard to make it worse. I think I read that it's 75? minutes. Maybe we'll get a fully subbed version if they release another Retro Game Master set.

>>735868
Seeing as how Gaki no Tsukai has been brought up in nearly every GCCX thread on /v/ & /vr/, and not a single person has objected, I didn't think anyone would mind Running Man. They are very similar. It was just a recommendation.

>>735187
>>736812

This >>734842 seems like an actual SA person, as did the one who first told us that someone on the team is working on Mendel Palace.

>>736907

Sure, but they're probably not on the actual SAGCCX team, just people registered on SA (like I am) that can read the thread where that info is from.

>>736906

I have no problem with recommendations for other Asian shows. It never amounts to more than a handful of posts per thread, and I think that there's probably a fair amount of cross interest. We should probably politely sage for off topic just to be safe, though.

>>736825

>>736952
wait... you have to pay for an account... and then you have to pay even more if you want to search?
that's just idiotic, why do people still put up with this shit?

>>736978
You can pretty much pay to do anything on SA.

>>736978

I think it's a bandwidth/overload issue - a lot of forums heavily limit your searches because if they allowed everybody to search, it'd fry the server. So with SA being so damn big, they turned it into a premium feature to limit it a good bit and also pay for keeping the servers powerful enough.

>>736978
Like I said earlier in the thread, it's the Xbox Live of internet forums, and just like Xbox Live, the fact that they charge a premium means that people rationalize why it's worth that premium.

>>736997
I see that, just by reading this bullshit >>736990

>>736939
I have a SA account and I think I remember seeing something like that at some point.

>>736990
That, and also having a modest fee involved (requiring a credit card) keeps out a lot of younger kids, which does improve the quality of the forum. The moderation has gone to shit lately, though.

I never really watched these, but I think I'll watch it. Nothing to do and only 8 minutes. Thanks.

Kibe has a husband?

>>737645
Arino is in it!

>>737645
>Did he kill him
Oh arino, you so silly!

So, apparently LCGCCX has a Neogaf account.

I finally watched the "Sugoi Squad" Quest of Ki Live sub to go along with the "Special" Catch Copy bit. Has SA pulled any other major pranks? Those were pretty funny.

still waiting on blaster master subs

New challenge announced:

"Best Keiba: Derby Stalion", a horse racing simulator for the Famicon.

I can't find ANY videos on YouTube of ANY Japanese people playing Doom. I don't think it'd get good ratings if they did a Doom episode.

Of course, if they ever opt to make a few USA-special bonus episodes for a future DVD release, it would be a nice thought :3

>>726318
I have that but it was painful so I altered it.

Also, a very important announcement will be made during the 'ice cream corner', and something terrible will happen to Arino's ice cream too.

Airs June 6th

The SNES version of Doom just doesn't do it justice I don't think. The graphics and music took a huge hit going to console.

>>739143
>youtube

Try Nico Nico Douga instead. Only recently have japanese gamers started to post videos on youtube

>>739198

Doesn't that site require an account just to view videos? And it was all in moon runes, last I checked.

>>737702
I sad this in an old thread, but no he doesn't

1 - Gay marriage isn't legal in Japan.

2 - You CAN have a gay wedding at Disneyland, etc, but it's just a ceremony and not legally recognized.

3 - When Kibe announced he got married he used the verb nyuuseki(入籍), which refers to one of the partners in a marriage leaving their family and entering their partner's.

4 - He may not be willing to discuss his marriage because his wife might be shy. The staff's family events (Toujima's wedding, Nagashima having a daughter, etc) get mentioned a lot, sometimes even using pictures, and she might not want that.

>>739232
Scroll to the bottom, click on the right hand drop down menu and set your language to English, then set your region to US.

>>739247
But I always thought that Kibe was gay because of his look and mannerism.

>>739270
Because being born with big lips makes you lisp so therefore gay

>>739274
But black people don't usually sound gay. And I wasn't just referring to the way Kibe speaks.

>>739232
Proof of Japan playing Doom.
More videos about Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 rape mods, though.

>>739279
Maybe he's a newhalf but I doubt he'd staff write it into thev show. Leave that to egoraptor

>>739285
Damn, I need to get my hands on some of those...

But anyway, yeah, Doom has some following in Japan, if the Doom threads are any impression. People always post Japanese fan art.

>>739324
Its interesting to think how FPSes would be if the Japanese got around to them first. I'm guessing with how popular games like Arcus, Death Bringer, Black Onyx, Wibarm, Wizardry and Ultima (all first person dungeon crawlers) were over in Japan in the late 80's, FPSes developed by them would often have some sort of medieval theme, or scifi. They do love their wolfenstein and cawadooty these days, though.

Also, are you a bad enough dude to play episodou ichi no Urutameto Doomu wa HAATO MI PURENTI MOUDOU?

I can imagine all of the ABUNAIs if Arino played it. Think any of the ADs or Arino himself have tackled a game like this before?

>>739381
You know, since a few people have been talking about Shadow Warrior since it came out on Steam recently, I wonder what Arino would think about the blatant Asian stereotypes.

>>739394
I think he would like it. Japs love stereotypes.

>>739394
To bad they don't play PC games on the show.

Hey guys, when it comes to games, what does the word 'gekimuzu' mean?

I've heard it a few times on the show.

>>739502
It's slang for "extremely difficult".
Geki=extremely
Muzu(kashii)=difficult

Oh shit.

So my GCCX Panel at a convention has been confirmed. Time to panic

>>739513
What the fuck? Say more about that.

>>739520

A week and a half ago, I signed up for a two hour late night all ages panel to showcase GGCX. A couple days ago, my submission was confirmed and I now have two weeks to fully prepare.

>>739530
WHERE ANON WHERE

>>739530
So is this you just talking about GCCX to some nerds or are you some awesome business man who is talking to other business men about investing in GCCX or something

(either one is pretty cool)

>>739530

Are you the one who was asking about doing a panel a few weeks ago with a live catch copy and a showing of an episode?

>>739530
This is amazing. Assuming you show them a full episode which one would you pick? Personally I think Mystery of Atlantis is a true classic, even if picking episode #1 would seem like a cop-out.

>>739870
I think Paris-Dakar Rally was mentioned before as well as Doki Doki Panic.
PDR is a great bizarro episode, and DDP has a good combination of familiarity (SMB2) and hilarious moments (KOWAI KOWAI KOWAI).

>>739837

Yes

>>739702

I'm gonna approach the audience as if they've never heard about the show, then talk about how it's popular, why, the niche audience it has in the us, ways to watch and support the show, and so forth. Nothing wacky or too weeaboo, just the facts and and a couple opinions from a guy who's passionate about an enjoyable show

>>739647

secret

>>739870

I'm inclined to show Paris-Dakar Rally, it seems like the perfect crowd-pleasing episode. thinking to give the winner of catch copy a choice between three episodes, though

>>739974
I think you're right, but you should just show that. No-one would ever pick PDR if there was also a game they recognized.

>>740012

Actually, I'm not even going to tell the names of the game. I'm going to give the vaguely named choices of

"I want to see Arino pushed to his limits (Lemmings 24 Hour Special),"

"I want to see the depths of human depravity (Paris Rally)"

and "I want to see Arino play a classic game...poorly (Either Sonic or Street Fighter)"

again, I'm thinking about it, I may just change my mind 10 minutes beforehand and not even bother, but we'll see.

>>740039
Now that is a brilliant work-around. I have faith that you're going to put on an amazing show.

>>740039
Street Fighter isn't that great an episode though. But hey, at least you didn't pick Fatal Fury Special.

>>740039
"I want to see Arino struggle madly with an incredibly easy game (Kirby's Adventure)"

"I want to see Arino suffer with a smile on his face (Battletoads)"

>>740136

I'm excited about the Live Catch Copy. I've giving out a DVD set of Retro Game Master to the winner.

You can't write an episode as good as Paris Dakar Rally

>>740167
That's cool, man. Good luck, and have fun with it.

>>725867
Haha just watched this last night I couldn't stop laughing. SEGA! The magic chant that restarts the game.
"Ah, Gamay Obera"

>>740324
Wing of Madoola has that really weird mood going on the whole time that I can't explain. Like when Arino calls the game company and gets really mad at them for no reason.

>>740324
What's Crap Game literally, Game of Crap or something, I recognize the no

>>740326

gamay obera is one of my favourite moments from the whole series

>>740334

It's KusoGe, literally short for shitty game. SA localizes it to soften the curse word. It isn't really considered an offensive swear in Japan.

>>740332
He's been threatening to "call the designers" since the challenges began, maybe he got drunk with power behind the camera and no one stopped him. He tells waitresses to draw dicks on his egg dishes.

>>740332
>Wing of Madoola
He was still pretty fresh off of his hospitalization at the time. I think he was gooned on painkillers.

>>740341
When PaRappa craps his pants on the last level Arino goes SHIIIIIIIITTAAAAA! and they translate it "He crapped his pants"
