univbee posted:Yeah, it's impossible to overstate how massive Dragon Quest is in Japan and more or less always has been. Hell, the very first Nintendo Power issue (1988) has a picture/mini-article of Japanese queues circling the block to get a copy of Dragon Quest III. It's my understanding that so many people skip work when a new DQ game comes out, companies will take a day off and treat it like a holiday because they have no other real choice. I think Squeenix has also been pressured to release the games on a weekend instead of mid-week?

Obviously, Yuji Horii will be standing over Arino's shoulder as the episode's guest AD and mocks him continuously.Phone posted:It's so good. Here's the commercial for anyone who hasn't seen it. It's genuinely great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVw3sNzFr5I

That didn't really make it clear why Japan loves Draqon Quest, but it's probably one of those "you had to be there" things. After all, the first main series game released in Europe was DQ VIII in 2006 for the PS2. (Final Fantasy fared a bit better, albeit not much: first official release in PAL was FF7 in 1997.)

The Dragon Quest in Europe thing was also amusing in that they initially dropped all numbering so the games were only differentiated by their subtitle, which was also unique in each language so good luck figuring out which game was which.

I think DQ8 was also the game Arino played in Cannes? Créer un nouveau journal and all that. e: I had to check, it is. And I still love the game store owner's reaction to the Arino figure. Is there a feasible chance on buying that anywhere nowadays? TeaJay fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Nov 17, 2017 |

FreezingInferno posted:IIRC it's less pressure and more Enix being like "well we should be responsible and put it out on weekends to minimize the country-wide loss in productivity" I believe the government asked them to release it on weekends to cut down o0n kids skipping school.

I absolutely adore Dragon Quest (or Dragon Warrior as it was called when I was a kid), so that commercial works really well on me, even though I don't understand what they're saying. The nostalgia is the same, though.

DQ is the best---even if they still haven't achieved the promised land of a high fidelity ARPG spinoff that is 1000% of the dramatic/tension and aesthetic finery that is a game made from mashing up the best bits of the Dai(especially) and Abel DQ anime series~ The tech is surely (about) there!

I remember deliberately avoiding RPG games when I was a kiddo, at the time personally deeming it too slow of a genre that lacked action. But then after getting a free copy of Dragon Quest in the mail with my fresh subscription to Nintendo Power, I quickly changed my tune

(Note: I'm in BC Canada, and it cost me $11 to send it to Italy, but $14 to send it to New Brunswick for some reason). That's my size so I'll nab it if you can post to Finland? Unless japanese XL is horribly small compared to euro/US size. I've ordered lots of GDQ shirts (with your design too) and they've fit well as XL.

I've been watching the Raws, and have been liking the Mario Bros AD segments. I love how the John Leguizamo Luigi movie toy is on the shelf behind Arino, and Bob Hoskins Mario is behind the AD. I have three things 1) How on earth does Arino keep winning? Is this part of a practical joke? 2) In the latest episode, did Nakayama try to trick Arino into thinking that the gun was broken? 3) Is the NES mini really that bad at emulating Mario Bros in that some sprites are missing part of them, and that the running animation doesn't always work?

I have three things 1 - Have you ever played a multi-player game with the aim of stopping others from winning? It's as fun as it is easy. 2 - Scripted? I dunno. Funny as hell though. 3 - I'm no pro, but a lot of encodes mess-up stuff. Watching it on Fuji One didn't have that, neither does my Famicom Mini.

The encode is probably running at 30fps but the game (and broadcast) were sending 60fps. You can see this kind of artifacting in a few episodes, most notably to me are the Genesis ones as they really loved flickering things at that rate for transparency effects.

I received a package from Canada, and what's this?  Thanks to the lovely zari-gani I was able to get my grubby little hands on a very awesome shirt. Thank you again, zari-gani!   Now if they ever do a GCCX in Italy I'm all set. (Please ignore my Old Lady Sweatpants.)

Them's slippers. This kind, to be precise. They look like shoes because of long sweatpants (plus, I'm wearing socks 'cause it's cold).

Arino being killed by an invisible Bowser fireball at the Budokan comes to mind as well.

FinalGamer posted:EYYYYY radical thanks a lot! Hi, don't be afraid of torrents guy. It's just a means of transferring data. If anything it's safer than downloading a file from mega or whatever because you've got a kind of "herd immunity". Here's an idiots guide. The mistake you made last time was downloading utorrent. That was wrong. 1. Download and install qbittorrent https://www.qbittorrent.org/download.php (It's the big download link on this page) 2. Download the torrent from https://nyaa.si/view/980629 and open it with qbittorrent 3. qbittorrent will ask you where you want to save the videofile, pick wherever. 4. Wait a while until you have 100% of the file. 5. Watch an old man play videogames That's it. And you don't have to wait for anyone to upload it or worry about it going down in the future.
