I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.

Consumer Software. It's just an abbreviation the Japanese use to denote Console games from Arcade games.

Communications Satellite. GCCX is on a CS channel, CS SkyPerfecTV. It's a pay channel. Incidentally the USA special aired on BS SkyPerfecTV -- Broadcasting Satellite -- a free channel.

Since these are known items email me at ORDERS CLOSED if you want me to grab either/both sets for you :) I'll be getting shots of the merch table when I get down there which'll be late Friday night for you USAians.

Please email me with any questions! I cannot handle PMs once I leave my house since the iOS app doesn't do them and Safari makes it a nightmare.

I take PayPal, I'll be collecting payment after I have all the merch bought and in hand and have calculated shipping.

If you want pins please email me as soon as you figure out you want them, on the off chance they don't let me buy a bajillion of them I'll be going down the list chronologically until I run out.

I really don't mind going back for more/different stuff once I get down to the event and see what they have but its much much easier to have a total of all the pins I need to buy before I get down there.

So a friend gave me the Retro Game Master DS game yesterday for Christmas, this game has so much personality. It's such a great little game too, it's really upsetting to realize that the sequel will probably never get translated and brought over. :smith:

There's a fan translation project, but last I heard it was stalled.

(That translation project is to me what the translation of Mother 3 was to my husband, i.e. an impossible thing one can dare not hope will ever be finished.)

Hey, I think I want to buy some stuff, those pins definitely, but I'm gonna wait to email you until I see what all is there. I'll try to be prompt; how much time will you be around to buy stuff? Thank you for doing this. :)

Not super long, depends on the day since they're calling for rain. I would recommend you send me what you want in pins right now since I don't mind handling a second email later if there's more swag. :)

Now it's on to hoping the same for the LP.

My son picked up Kirby's Return to Dream Land at the library the other week and proceeded to tell the kids' librarian, "I met a man in Japan named Arino, and I'm going to beat this game over the weekend like he does." So far this has gone about as well as when Arino exclaims, "Looks like I'll be going home early tonight!"

Twelve hours a day, unless the kid can hit that fire button with super human speed.

Which fan meet up did you and your son go to?

I should have clarified that point. We never met Arino in person, just through the GCCX episodes here. He's watched every one in English and a few text-lite eps in Japanese, pretty much every game without real-life weapons. It's a testament to everyone on the SA-GCCX team that he considers Arino a close personal friend (he's six and well smart enough to know better). I hope to take him to the Fuji TV complex the next time we're in town, maybe see if they have a little swag for sale.

If you look at Chococat's post history in this thread he posted some things in closeup before. There's a notebook, stickers, little hanging tag thingies, tea towel, and posters for the ambiguous stuff. That one shirt and the tea towel are awesome, but I think the pins are what I want most.

Somebody already broke down the shirts so rows 2-4 are
2: Messenger bag / pins / bandanna
3: Shirt / Battery fan / water bottle / folders / tea towel
4: cellphone stand / led flashlight / a5 notepad folder set / pasmo sticker / map sticker

Maybe you should learn Japanese then :smugdog:

But man, the weather is terrible for this. We have to track down 6 staff members in 6 areas around the main Akiba strip, but it's raining and windy. At we managed to run into Producer Kan and got his card.

Pixel Kings in White and scattered Pixel Arinos in Yellow with the GCCX logo in one corner and "No Game, No Life" in Yellow in the other corner against a standard black bandana. A little thin as well, but I don't buy bandanas so I don't know how thick/thin they normally are.
