>>9035383
Oh god it’s already starting.

>>9035387
yes

>>9035442
is this really the best quality? It looks blurry.

S24:
>Rondo finally.
>Devil Dice: highlight of the season
>Pokemon Snap? More like Pokemon Snooze
>The Fireman was okay, and a change in pace of style of games
>Finally some Sailor Moon!
>Quiz no Hoshi - the return of quiz games.

Overall: good season

S25 review:

>Zelda was okay, nice to see Arino mostly go it alone and figure it out just by writing hints down. Nowhere near as conufsing as some vr posters claim it is.
>3 PS2 and 1 GC games was really nice and breaks up the 2D platformer monotony
>Earth Defense Force was okay, only played on normal and the frame rate hit single digits at parts. Gameplay is a bit samey.
>Tokyo Bus Annai was probably one of the highlights of the season. Arino had some trouble controlling the game with the PS2 controller, and wonder if a wheel would work?
>Finally did Axelay, a 2D shooting game
>Faxanadu: finally! Nihon Falcom and Hudsonsoft classic.
>Batman: finally, and a very solid challenging title.
>Ico was alright, but a kind of challenge free easy game and a bit of a bore

Hoping S26 has more saturn and dreamcast titles to spice things up since PS2 got so much attention last season.

>>9035606
>since PS2 got so much attention last season.
I really don't see how they can keep up the show's concept on PS2 titles.
Almost nothing on it is made with completion being the challenge, by then gaming had completely shifted to "Let's make a fun story and everyone can see the ending".
Not to mention anything good is 20+ hours long.

should i download the 1080i or 720p?

>>9035628
PS2-DC-Xbox-NGC has tons of video gamey games. It's the last gen before the cinematic games took over.

are there any touhou games to play?

Someone just uploaded a huge torrent of raw DVD episodes:
https://nyaa.si/view/1545698

>>9038445
That's pretty huge, most of these (Phoenix Wright, Pooyan, Tokimeki Memorial 2, etc.) were never ripped before.

>>9038498
The dvds are typically ripped, just that they're on JP only P2P services like Perfect dark. You could find them if you want to.

what the fug? why the file size so low?

>>9039645
heh. He's saying "Tanku controlli". Is he literally saying "Tank Controls" or some Japanese word that is similar? I think it's interesting they'd adopt the English terminology. I also heard the narrator call it a "survivor horror" game. I believe most of the 90's material called these horror adventure games.

I've found yandex ocr suprisngly good for on screen text, provided it's clear. Fonts tend to wreck it.

>>9039950
Like here it doesn't recognize Arino-san's handwriting at all.

>>9039956
Ah yes, Abe-san is also a fan of the series.

Wha, the Claire video is only 27 minutes long? It looks like it's mostly just a re-cap of the story and new boss fights? That's a bit lame. Maaybe they felt it was simply too samey?

>>9039971
Ah, I should have known. The Biohazard challenges are highly sought after, but they always end up being a bit of a disappointment.

The recent RE2 thread pointed out that the game is pretty easy and simplified, with very simple puzzles. Watching Arino breeze through it only highlights it. Even with writing everything down he doesn't have much trouble.

Damn, Arino is only just turned 50? I was thinking he was mid 50s already. They do anything special for his birthday?

>>9040615
Yeah, I though the started the show in his 40's, but he was 30's at the start. His comedy duo made a video game for the Gameboy Color, so they challenged that on his 50th.

sorry for out of topic but anyone know where can i download a movie called "Tomoshibi - Chôshi tetsudô 6.4km no kiseki". It's a movie where arino become a train conductor. The movie was promoted on GCCX when Arino play Densha de Go! 64 (episode 239 i think).

>>9040649
Oh yes, I remember that now. I had assumed it was a tv show instead.

>>9038445
Thanks for this. I am only sadened that they did not have an interview with Resident Evil 2 creator Keiji Inafune.

>>9040723
>Japan seems like heaven

She's ugly.

who was that "Black kirby" lady who they kept making fun for being fat?

>>9035379
I can think of no greater life fufilling goal than recording myself fucking Kate and her asking me to blast my fat nut inside her and then sending that video to her father.

Just look at that face. It's fucking perfect for it. Accomplishing that would purify any mans soul and send him straight to a nirvana-like mindset.

I recommended a bunch of saturn, ps1, ps2, dreamcast, adventure and horror games. what have you recommended?

>>9042312
I rec'd a batch of like 50 games a few years ago. To my shock a few of them are showing up like Rondo.

Reminder they have only done like 5 playstation games in the entire show's history, most of them odd niche titles. Despite the PS1 being one of the most popular consoles ever.

>Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You
>Go by Train!

I watched the World of Illusion machine translation after the last thread, but it died before I could reply. It was surprisingly really good. What is involved in doing the machine translation?

>>9040208
I quite enjoyed his play of RE1. I can see why RE2 would be less entertaining to watch though.

>>9042312
>>9043169
Help a retard like me out, what do I click to suggest games? I even ran through a translator but I wasn't sure.
I'd suggest a handful of Saturn games most likely.

>>9043268
They have a tutorial in the middle paste here, the one that says Official Site.
>>9035668

>>9043268

>>9043380

Hope they do more Ninja games:

>Kaze Kiri (PCE-CD)
>Shinobi 3 (MD)
>Hagane (SFC)

>>9043417

wait, how long have they had this qt AD?

>>9043437
I believe Mikan Fukutomi started in Season 21. She later got married to Gen Matsui.

>>9043417
Ninja Five-O, a fantastic game by Hudsonsoft published by Konami. Sadly, can't be challenged since for some reason it was never released in Japan itself.

>>9043262
My process for Half Assed Machine Translations is pretty simple, if a bit inefficient and boring.

First I knock out the low hanging fruit, the Japanese Closed Caption file. It covers 98% or better of the spoken text, UNLESS that line is also written on-screen for emphasis. This is about 80% of the episode on average. I just run the line through Deepl's moonrunes to american translator. In 75% of cases, the line I get back seems good enough, and it goes in. If it comes out kinda gibberish, I run it through Google's moonrunes to american translator. This usually covers the remaining 20%, but the last 5% is still gibberish, and I need to check each individual word to figure out what the fuck is being said.
The second step is the remaining 20% of the episode, the on-screen text. I try to use Qtranslate's Text Recognition to get things, but I usually need to double check the line to make sure it got every character correctly, since it rarely does. Sometimes it will just crap out entirely, and I need to manually create the entire line character by character. For this step I use wikipedia's Hiragana and Katakana pages, and sljfaq's multiradical-by-type Kanji lookup tool. Looking up Kanji is the most time consuming and monotonous part of the entire process.
Last step is to go through it line by line while watching, to check and see if anything looks horribly off, or the timing is nonsensical. And now I'm doing .ass files, I'm gonna try to do some better formatting.

>>9043359
>>9043375
Legends, thanks!
Going to suggest Psychic Killer Taromaru on Saturn

>>9043603
LOL

I literally suggested that Yesterday!

>>9043537
Sounds like it's got some manual parts, but also pretty effective. Nice work. Pretty amazing what can be done with the AI programs now.

>>9043621
Based Shinrei chad.
I think that would be fun to watch, the bosses in this game are so good.

>>9043628
It would seem a bit sus for two people to suggest it so close to one another. Suggest another one. Although I suggested a few saturn titles over the lsat month.

>>9043626
It takes a little bit of massaging to get the desired end result, but translating lines through deepl or even google usually gives far better results than this sort of word salad you get with on-screen text recognition programs:
>>9043383

Pic related is the new formatting possible with .ass files. Should be more readable than the white text from .srt files.

Games Arino is highly likely to challenge sometime in the future if the show doesn't end first:
>Mega Man 6-8
>Mega Man X3-8
>Donkey Kong Country 3
>Castlevania 2
>Castlevania:Symphony of the Night
>Legend of Zelda:Link's Awakening
>Super Mario Land 3:Wario Land
>Sonic the Hedgehog 3
>Sonic Adventure 1-2
>Otogirisō
>Resident Evil 3, CV, 4(yes 4, if they can do Super Mario RPG or Earthbound, they can handle 4's length)
>Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse(maybe if Disney says OK)
>The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey & Minnie(maybe if Disney says OK)
>Disney's Magical Quest 3 Starring Mickey & Donald(maybe if Disney says OK)

>>9043974
>>Otogirisō

Why that random sound novel?

>>Legend of Zelda:Link's Awakening

They typically space these out at every 5 years now.

Much more likely they will do Sunshine.

My list of pretty sure in the next 4 years:

>Pocky and Rocky
>Donkey Kong Country 3
>assault suit valken
>Ninja Warriors Again
>Contra 3
>Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams
>Gran Turismo
>Clock Tower: Ghost Head

>>9043984
>Why that random sound novel?
Because they've already played the 2nd sound novel made by Chunsoft.

>>9043249
The Playstation 1 and 2 consoles have an amazing library but it's probably also a licensing nightmare to fuck with because a LOT of games were made by third parties and not all of those third parties survived into the future and even if they did it's doubtful they're exactly eager to dig up and do paper work for their old games.

Personally I want to see Arino play Monkey Hero but it's an inevitable nightmare.

>>9044580
and famicom and pce games arent' a similar licesnesing nightmare?

>>9038445
Thanks for this. If I'm familliar with a game I can just watch as is.

>>9043537
Could you or someone else just run all of them through deepL, and then upload them and leave it at that? I actually don't know how to run such big long files through machine translation.

I can pretty much make due without any subs for challenge segments because other than the occasional sarcastic quip it's mostly "ah man, I lost again!".

>>9045738
>I actually don't know how to run such big long files through machine translation.
Copy+paste into .docx file, upload .docx file, copy+paste results back to original CC .srt file. Or just copy+paste the contents into deepl 5,000 characters at a time.

>>9035379
Are those eng subbed?

>>9045940
New season is not subbed yet. Episode list in >>9035668 says what's subbed and not.

>>9046007
thanks anon-kun

>>9046010
You're welcome.

>>9038445
Thanks. RE2 and Sonic 2 are likely the only ones I can see unsubbed. The rest are very dialogue heavy or adventure games. No clue what even the Densetsu train series is even about either.

Maybe Super Mario Kart? Wonder what it's even about?

>>9046320
>Maybe Super Mario Kart? Wonder what it's even about?

got 0.1% downloaded, so was able to grab some screens and see it's a full hour challenge. I didn't know they had done SMK, and thought they only did some trial runs.

>>9046328
SMK was the challenge for the Asia special. The episode list says that's an extended version of the challenge from DVD-BOX 10.

Anyone else finding themselves playing games they wouldn't have otherwise/moving them up on their to-do list when you find it's been on GCCX?
I went ahead and played Pulseman and Comix Zone recently since I saw there were episodes for those games. I was planning to play them at some point, but I had more incentive now.
I kind of want to do the same with DKC2 now. I enjoy the episodes more sometimes when I've played the game before.

>>9046748
>>9046748
It's good for showing off the PCE library. A lot of eccentric games or overlooked titles. Maarchen Maze is a game no one talks about but it's pretty solid.

i'm watching that minecraft spinoff they did that i didn't even know existed until a few days ago
how the hell have they only played for a few hours but have 64+ iron and dozens of minecart tracks but have never seen gold or any other ore? did they cheat stuff in just for tv or something?

Arino seems kind of oddly retarded. He breezes through some games that seem difficult, and then struggles with the most random shit. Racing games for some reason are a real weakness.

>>9047837
From the paste write-up on the Minecraft stuff:
>Each season was filmed in several bulk sessions to produce the total run of planned episodes, with Arino and Hamaguchi also playing in their free time between shoots.
I guess they got a lot done at home between sessions.

>>9047912
I also find it funny he doesn't like reading the manual before playing sometimes, there's often some really basic things he misses or doesn't know about until hours in because he died and then decides to check the manual.
Not really a 'retarded' thing, but just kind of funny. I had to re-learn the idea of reading the manual before playing old games again, since new games don't have them you kind of forget how essential they are sometimes.
I did find it crazy how well he did in Resident Evil by comparison to something like Sonic the Hedgehog though.

>>9048104
>I guess they got a lot done at home between sessions.
that's evident later, but they have iron in like the second episode

>>9048142
How long would it take for them to get as much as they had? I don't really know a lot about Minecraft.

>>9048138
>I did find it crazy how well he did in Resident Evil by comparison to something like Sonic the Hedgehog though.

I think it's momentum controls which is also why he struggled with mario games and racing titles. Resident Evil games are perfectly logical and less about execution. You just search around, find the items, solve the puzzle, find the ammo and find the guns. By the time you get to the boss you have all the solutions so execution matters less.

Similarly he breezed through Legend of Zelda by simply writing down the hints. Where to go next is perfectly logical.

And then games for babies like Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart are struggles.

>>9048154
current 1.18 minecraft and you knew nothing about the game? 30 hours maybe?

their version from 2017? that feels like forever, since you only got 1 ore per block unless you had luck enchantments. tons of farming

>>9048159
Hmm, I also realised I think he played the Director's Cut or at least a non-longbox version of RE1, so he had the snap aiming. I think that makes the game considerably easier (when you don't have to frantically spin to try and hit that Hunter that's going to take your head off).
I've only played the Longbox & Saturn version so it might seem harder in my memory.

>>9048435
Yeah, it was the Director's Cut version of RE1 that he played.

>>9048435
>Hmm, I also realised I think he played the Director's Cut or at least a non-longbox version of RE1, so he had the snap aiming.

The Japanese version of Biohazard always had auto-aiming. It was only removed in the first American version, along with it becoming harder. It was for rental reasons. Mikami explained this.

>>9048583

>>9048583
>>9048587
Oh yes, I had read this before but forgot that the Japanese release never actually had the manual aim.
Kind of interesting they made the Saturn version based on that release with manual aim. I suppose it was like a year later, so they figured they might add some more challenge.

>>9048583
>literally had to cut him because he was too chad

>>9035387
Where do you think you are?

how long does it take for new subs?

>>9050662
It was usually one new episode per month, but it looks like one of the GooseCanyon members left the group recently, so things got slower.

>>9048780
And yet Mikami added the black comedy character inpisred by Eddie Murphy to Dino Crisis. He's just awful and would have been just as annoying and awful in RE1.

Watched the Golden Axe episode last night with the English Kotaku dub. It wasn't as bad as it might have been actually.
You can tell it wasn't easy to do, with them having to mute the sound entirely to put the dub in, probably because they didn't have access to individual audio tracks. The English announcer isn't too obnoxious either and just kind of mirrors what I imagine the Japanese guy says.
I do find it odd they keep calling Arino 'The Kacho' instead of 'Chief'.

>>9051074
>English announcer isn't too obnoxious either and just kind of mirrors what I imagine the Japanese guy says.

The English narrator is not bad, but he's a bit game showy. the Japanese announcer has a lot of seriousness and gravitas. In earlier seasons they ham it up a bit too much in the writing, but most of the time it's written like some documentary.
