I feel for Arino on every shooter challenge---amidst my laughs. Did Tyrian ever see a Japanese release? Something like that would probably be a barrel of fun for the man on top of actually being moreso surmountable thanks to the upgrade elements.

Actually, looking at the list of Famicom games that start with N (I know the tweet didn't specify system, but the show does tend to lean more towards Famicom stuff), one of them is Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball Bu, which came out in the US as Super Dodge Ball... Part of me really hopes this will happen since I really loved Super Dodge Ball Advance on the GBA (I've played a little of the NES game, but I still preferred the GBA one  ), and it would be awesome to see Arino discover the super throws.Also, why hasn't anyone brought up the hardest game that starts with N... NetHack!  I'm kidding, I would never put Arino through that much abuse for our entertainment. Edit: VVVV Random Stranger posted:Alternatively, Arino should play NBA Jam.

Guys, they came out and said what the next episode. Arino is obviously playing N. More seriously, Little Nemo is an actual possibility since in Japan it was Nemo: Pajama Hero. The fact that they used the english character "N" implies that the title won't be Japanese as well. The only other Famicom game besides Nemo that jumps out at me as a possibility is Nuts and Milk, the first third party Famicom game. Alternatively, Arino should play NBA Jam. ("The Chief is on fire!")

Alpha3KV posted:In the first Sky Kid interlude, does anybody know why the event had a giant turd statue? The poo is based on one of the comediennes from Metcha Ike (Arino's other main show). In past years it's appeared at the event as a giant poo volcano that plays her deliberately off-key singing every 30 minutes.

So... I just watched the Woody Poko episode and it seems like a good episode, but I felt like not knowing a lot of the Japanese language definitely hindered on my enjoyment of it (that wasn't a hint towards you guys at SAGCCX since I'm sure you guys already have a long list of episodes you want to do and I dunno where this one would rank for you guys).  Is it okay if I ask what the hell that box tapping game Arino and Matsui were playing was about and what it had to do with the game outside of using the game's box and little cutouts from the manual?  On the upside, the segments about the movie were pretty neat and it's cool that Toujima's daughter (I assume it's his daughter?) got to be in it. I hope it's okay I didn't spoil that since it had nothing to do with the challenge itself.

Hirayuki posted:Sounds like an old-fashioned sumo game, called "Tap-Tap Sumo". You put two stand-up cutouts (or origami figures) of sumo wrestlers (or anything else, really) on the bottom of an overturned box and tap the box to move your wrestler in the hopes that he'll take down your opponent's. Just a fun thing to do. Also, that game doesn't work well when you replace the little paper cutouts with a box of cooling pads and a container of dried squid.

Is anyone excited for the Steam release of Metal Slug 3 next week? I so enjoy watching Arino play any of the Metal Slug games on the show. The Steam version also has onlone co-op. I can't wait to see how much fun the game is as I never played a Metal Slug game before.

I had Metal Slug 3 for the XBox, and that game was so awesome. It was a real challenge, but a ton of fun to play, especially with all the cool little things they added. So, you should be very happy with your purchase.

A few weeks ago I managed to clear stage three on one credit for Metal Slug X at my local arcade. I felt pretty proud of being able to get that far...

Look at all you scrubs Heh. I would also like to point out that King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 owns because it has Fio and it has a mission where you fight a Metal Slug.  Edit: Im all set for Steam launch! It's like Christmas in February!

I just learned from an interview that this was Kibe's idea for the movie plot that was immediately rejected. Which means his pitch for the movie starred a self-insert. Which means he wanted a movie about himself.

The New Iron Chef looked really good, it's a shame it neither got any ratings nor got any sub groups working on it. I watched some of it raw, it was fun, but still needed some level of translation to explain some of the more esoteric cooking activities.

Abe would be the first Iron Chef to win while operating the video camera that captured the work he was doing. Because he's just that awesome. And then he would ride out on a motorcycle. Abe is the cameraman we never could ever have hoped to have, and the world is better because he is here.

I'd love to see an Arino vs Abe Iron Chef battle even though it would be the most one-sided fight in history (unless Arino has cooking skills that nobody has ever known about). It would be Abe's way of getting back at Arino every time they had a staff tournament, and Abe ended up being the first (and easiest to beat) opponent.

Hirayuki posted:There's no realistic English market for a fiction book by the writer of some semi-obscure niche Japanese TV show, thus no plans for an official translation. Even if there were someone out there eager enough to translate the whole thing for free (quality or lack thereof notwithstanding), you'd be waiting a good long while for it; any publisher worth their salt would give a translator the better part of a year to translate a short story into English--and that's for pay. To continue the thought, translating fiction is a whole other kettle of fish from translating a television show. Or I should say, translating fiction well is a whole other kettle of fish from translating a television show. The translator not only has to be a translator, they have to be a writer capable of taking the qualities of the original and replicating those same qualities in the other language. Just taking the sentences and writing down their meaning isn't enough (technically it isn't enough for television translation either, but I've got a point I'm making). By it's nature prose is more complex. Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Feb 10, 2014 |

Random Stranger posted:To continue the thought, translating fiction is a whole other kettle of fish from translating a television show. Translating well is always a challenge for this very reason, it just tends to be more pronounced in books where there's a lot more to translate, and there's often some form of subtlety in the way things are written, especially when you start getting into written works that are flat-out making stuff up (e.g. like how Shakespeare invented a shitload of new words for his various plays). With TV/Movies this is rarer, but you're usually on a much tighter deadline (e.g. Quebec French dubs get 1 week start-to-finish to dub a film; you can go to a midnight showing of a dubbed French version of any film same day as the U.S. midnight release, almost no exceptions) and can still run into some weirdness, like having to translate your dialogue in exactly the "right" (wrong) way for Borat to work, or ending up having to dub Good Morning: Vietnam and the shitload of voices Robin Williams does in it (I think the French release didn't come out on time for this reason).
