I think "terranigma" is a good one.
There's an early one where he plays a dating sim right after he gets married that's good.

Watch chronologically or you'll regret it later.

You can leave out Season 1 because it was a completely different concept. The "real" GCCX begins with Season 2.
The pastebin in the OP has a list with all episodes in the right order, including specials.

Season 1 stuff is still fun to watch. Just sprinkle it in every now and then.

Season 10, Episode 74 (First Samurai challenge).

I thought it was the opposite. The guy said Kacho's wife is beautiful but [too bad] their daughters look like him.

Weird, but even gave that guy a Tanii T-Shirt (the most valuable prize of the segment). He threw a half-heartedly "shut up" before chuckling. Sure, we won't know how much they edited that segment and Arino was visibly annoyed at the end.

In all honesty it probably won't ensure more localization at this point, but it doesn't hurt. The option for all Japanese audio is there, it's what's important, and if you care about owning official GCCX material and having it on the shelf, yes get it.

>>2880279
Arino was originally the boke of the duo, but Hamaguchi started to display a natural tendency for boke gags too, so Yoiko has this unique feature of having no real distinction between the tsukkomi and boke.

As for him taking a bit of banter… yes, no doubt. But while he usually does something funny at the end of every segment, he was pretty serious at the last episode of this one, they even froze the frame to notify about the abrupt end.
Maybe it wasn't about that comment on his family, but the whole segment with mostly horrible jokes? Between this and the Lemmings 24h special, looks like Arino is very critical about bad jokes/comedians - it's his job after all.

If that isn't the case, maybe he manages to trap Dark Link in a pattern by pure luck in one of his first attempts?

I was watching the Paris special the other day and it was kinda painful to watch Arino search for arcades, because those were never really popular in most of Europe and he also couldn't find any French/European made NES/SNES games. The whole carnival segment where he falls off the ladder and plays games meant for babies was really awkward too. I was about to shut it off but then he started playing Mario Kart with a bunch of people from all over Europe and that made me happy. Just knowing that he has a fanbase all around the world and Arino acknowledging it made me feel good for some reason. I always felt like Arino wasn't aware of how popular he is outside of Japan.

How does the licensing for that work anyway if another company wanted to do it?

License fee paid to Sony for BluRay rights, license fee paid to corporations that own defunct video game company rights, license fee paid to Fuji TV...and Retro Game Master DVDs have sold some 19,000 copies.

Yet AVGN produces DVDs and BluRays and rabid fans buy them up.

>>2877707
Quiz shows are make or break based on staff interaction. The Yui Yui one is god tier because of how well the staff meshed with Arino. The last two quiz episodes were awful because assistance was non existent or poor synergy.

>>2880989
Arino always comes off as a guy who would normally play the role of a villain. Just look at how he interacts with kids when he's competing against them in video games.

>>2880279
Banter is one thing, but the segment was not very good, and who ever was in charge of it fucked up big time by checking over what was submitted, or worse, thinking Arino would be alright with saying his kids were ugly.

If there's a cut segment they should bring back it's Ring Ring Tactics. Sucks they canned the Lode Runner version. Also it probably wouldn't be as viable today due to how popular the show is. (Expect tens of thousands of letters as opposed to a hundred.)

Considering it's dead in America. I'm hoping someone subs the full episodes for the DVD games that weren't already done. Comparing the original airing of Clock Tower to the DVD version is completely jarring.

I prefer watching him play tough and intense games. Battletoads, Super Spy Hunter, Castlevania 3, Ninja Gaiden games, Nosferatu, Prince of Persia, Punch-Out!!!, Ghouls N Ghosts series, and Adventure Island were some of my favorite episodes. Watching him struggle with hard games is entertaining to me. Still waiting on a translation for Vice:Project Doom.

This is retro but 16-year-old video games are not.

I wish Arino would play more games based on American licenses. I want to see him struggle with games like Bart's Nightmare or TMNT.

In addition to that, there's also one more episode currently being translated.
