Game Center CX is a Japanese show about a man in a seafoam green suit who is bad at video games. The host is Shinya Arino, a Japanese comedian and gigantic otaku. He knows a lot about manga, movies and hentai, but is really bad at video games. It's really good and funny. The series is being slowly translated by a group on SA and can be downloaded here, http://www.sa-gccx.com. Episodes I recommend: Doraemon, Dragon Ball, Oishinbu, Derby Stallion, Power Pad: Jogging Race and Child Rearing Quiz: My Angel. Really, any of the quiz episodes are great. Watch it now!

What are some good puzzle game episodes? I loved the Lemmings episode, for instance. I also like seeing his perspective on non-Japanese games.

He played Quiz Nanairo Dreams last month, which is a hilarious look at Capcom history as a hybrid dating sim-quiz game. I highly recommend it.

What's your favorite segment? I like Shocking Game MAX. It's the same joke over and over again but it's a good joke I also like Ring Ring Tactics for the people being really surprised when Arino calls them

Why are there two seperate nearly identical gccx sites now? My favorite episode is still Go By Train!, specifically the bit where they have the staff challenge to decide which lunch everybody gets.

Dragon Ball seemed like a fun game until the surprise racism at the very end. Kacho: "UWAH! SO DARK!"

Wings of Mandoola is worth watching just to see Arino call Sunsoft to try and win a 25 year old raffle.

I watched some video of Arino's comedy duo Yoiko hanging out with Downtown on some Downtown program where I guess the premise is that people try to hang out and be informal with. Something about the way they (both Downtown and Yoiko) talk/behave is hilarious and makes me laugh out loud in a way that most other comedy doesn't. Like, with great Western comedians I'll think "whoa that's really clever and entertaining" but generally won't actually laugh. With this it's not like they're saying anything super clever, but that their general mannerisms are hilarious.

I don't think it's terrible in comparison to a lot of other nes games. Sephiroth_IRA fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Jun 28, 2015 |
