I'm such a shameless dork. When Arino asks 'Is that a Zaku?' I immediately reply (under my breath) 'That's no Zaku, boy. No Zaku!'.

And then he says it.

Sign of a wasted youth, eh?

"No one ever likes to admit to mistakes... Due to their own youth", eh? :xd:

Context? It's been a while since I've sat down to watch the original, but it sounds like something Ramba Ral said. Probably in reference to his Gouf, but I could be wrong.

One does not care to acknowledge the mistakes of one's youth.

I never did like the early dub dialogue much. Up until episode 10 or so they couldn't balance accurate dialogue that could fit in the mouthflaps, and it really shows in those early eps.

Your showing GCCX instead of Aroshi! Aren't your fans pissed? I hope you show the rebroadcast on Saturday. Did I get the time right for the rebroadcast?

The result for Gradius is pretty obvious I think.

Also, Arino using the Select button trick would make the challenge less interesting to see. His struggle for almost 4 hours against the Yellow Devil is one of the best GCCX moments. Even Kibe picked it as one of his top GCCX moments during a segment on the 24 hour challenge.

It's been a rough week and the stream has barely been up. There was a storm in the area and I lost internet for a day, then I got my copy of Mass Effect 3 and "forgot" fix it. So, I don't really care. I just want to watch some Game Center CX.

I'll probably rebroadcast, but I think it's Sunday, not Saturday, (I don't recall when this change was made, I only just noticed it the week before).

Mayor McCheese posted:

Zaku's are from Gundam, right? What's the context of that line, anyhow?

It's a quote from Zeon ace Ramba Ral. The short of it is, up until Amuro's fight with Ral, he had been fighting nothing but Zakus. Ral, on the other hand, is rolling around in a Gouf, which at that point is Zeon's monster of the week newest model of mobile suit, featuring higher performance than the Zaku. So when Amuro gets his rear end whooped by the Gouf and wonders what is up with that "Zaku", Ral says that quote.

I double checked and March 8 is Inoko MAX's birthday. He's 28 today.

I expect that right now he's sitting in his apartment alone with a slice of cake and one lone candle on it. He's wearing a party hat and just staring at his cake. He doesn't want to blow the candle out because that would be accepting that no one is going to show up.

You were right....



Nah, Urakawa took that photo so that's something. Plus that's definitely not his place. (Though he's moved out of the apartment seen in Shocking Videos MAX.)

As mentioned by the King at the beginning of the Mega Man ep, the song "I Can't Leave You Alone" was the opening to a TV show that aired in 1991 called "AD Boogie" (yes, it's about assistant directors).

Here's that opening (starts around 0:08 -- it's the longest opening to a show I've ever seen, holy); Japanese comedy fans may see a very familiar face...

Except for the Yellow Devil, Arino seemed like he kind of tore through that one. He beat half of the bosses without using their weaknesses against them.

You can even tell just by how he hits. I don't need to see a face, just the arm motion and speed.

Yeah, he pretty much did from the looks of it, which is kinda surprising because I've sworn that people have said MM1 is one of the hardest games in the series. Yet, he didn't beat MM2, which I think is a pretty easy game aside from a few parts. :shobon:

He only beat Bomb Man and Cut Man without their weaknesses, though. That's a third of them, granted, but those are the easiest two anyway. I was more impressed with beating Wily without the Rolling Cutter, honestly. Mostly because I am incredibly stupid and never thought to just stand next to him when I played.

I get the feeling that if Arino were to revenge-challenge Rockman 2, he'd have little to no difficulty today. Struggle as he might against Pilotwings and the like, his performance in the other Rockman challenges seem evidence that he's significantly more capable.

As for the difficulty curve, 1 is significantly more difficult than 2 or 3. That 4-tiered boss rush in the last Wily stage - with no E-cans or healing items at all - is the definition of brutal. I can beat 2 without dying, and 3 without continuing... but 1 is some kind of kryptonite.

Like many, many games in the SNES and NES period, MM2 was made much easier when it was brought to America. The American hard mode is the Japanese normal mode.

He beat a couple more during the re-fights. I remember because He forgot that Guts Man's weakness was the bomb.
