Densha de Go episode is also great for showing interaction between Arino and the staff.

Other memorable episodes are Actraiser, Bonk's Adventure and Ghosts 'n' Goblins.

Any episode where he pauses, plans his next move aloud, then runs directly into the nearest pit.

I can't find the GIF of it right now, but for me the best example is the fumble in Bonk's adventure.

When recommending starting episodes, starting with episodes featuring games you know is a good idea. But I have to agree that starting with Paris-Dakar Rally works, I showed that as a first episode to my friend a little while ago and he was instantly hooked. It's just so weird and full of funny moments.

I'm sure this has been asked many times, but I'd like to show a friend an episode of GCCX, and was wondering which episodes you all think are the best to introduce someone to the series with — I'd really like to show how funny this show is, but have a terrible, terrible memory. What do you all suggest?
I'm more of a fan for the times where he struggles a LOT on games I can relate to, but after trying over and over again, he eventually triumphs, so... that's every game he plays. But seriously, the ones that seem more epic to me on that scale are these ones
Super Mario World (I almost started shouting "GO UNDER!" at the screen)
Mighty Bomb Jack Saga
Ninja Gaiden
Battletoads

How have you managed to miss it for so long?

But yeah, it's excellent. The highlight of the live is the awkward glasses kid who just starts playing without saying anything, uses Arino's hard-earned coins, plays horribly and dies.

I don't have a DVD drive on my computer and besides I really hate physical media for how cumbersome it is (compared to digital media). I only bought the DVD to support the show and stashed it until now.

Then I recently realized I have a PS4 I can use so. :v:

Game Center DX runs on the gag premise that Arino is a lame old guy in work clothes playing lame old games, and Hamaguchi is a cool, well-dressed young guy who plays the latest games before they're even out.

Pretty good way for Nintendo to advertise, and I imagine Gas Coin makes a pretty penny from it.

A quick rant about Mario Maker. As much as I love the idea, most of the levels are dreadfully boring and un-creative. Most of the expert levels are incredibly difficult, and most of the reason that they're difficult is because they have too much guess work. It's very rare to find an actual well made level at any difficulty level.

McLaglen posted:

Poking about the Mario Maker website in an attempt to find out more about the Arino costume, this turned up instead: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/amaj/arinoplay/index.html

It seems there'll be a live event on 12th December where Arino plays through more user-created levels, via a submission form that's available for the next 8 weeks: https://mariomaker-cp.nintendo.co.jp/

If you login with a Nintendo Network ID, the form asks for your nickname, region (ie. Japan-only), course ID, and a short comment for Arino.

Anyone who follows the Gascoin Company blog knows they love the hell out of elaborate birthday cakes. Ishida asked me to draw a pic to put on Kan's cake (his 51st birthday was on October 5th -- he's currently on hiatus from Twitter). They ordered it from a bakery that specializes in drawing portraits. I'm impressed by the result!





There's a photo of Arino holding it too, but I can't post unreleased pics of him without permission.

It's great he obviously speaks a lot better english than Arino, too (although we've seen this from the show already from the many times he corrects Arino's english speaking/grammar).

Arino made Kibe do a voice for it to intro the first Vietnam Bus Quiz segment, but he was terrible, so he had Inoue do it, and even sort of praised him for it.

Another good moment was when Arino was asked "What game has the same word twice for it's title and is recommended by Fujimoto whenever you're struggling against a game?" One of his guesses was "Duran Duran", which prompted Kan to ask him what kind of game that would be.

Apparently a shooting game where you set out to rescue the band members.
