Sometimes, you have to shake it thrice.

Bloodplay it again posted:

Chromecasts (even the newest with Google TV) and some Roku devices don't support x264 videos with 10-bit color. I've had to use handbrake to transcode every episode over the past few years to x265 to get them to play properly on a Chromecast with Google TV. It also has the benefit of cutting down the file size of most episodes by about 30-40%. Does Fuji TV air programming with 10-bit color? X264 8-bit would be fine on most devices, but it's the 10-bit color data plus x264 encoding that is causing weird frame holding issues and playback artifacts.

Ahhh, makes sense, thanks for that info!

I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!
x265 CAN cause issues with transcode depending on what you're playing with and what you're streaming from.

Ah, OK. What was the bit at the end on the beach?

Spoilered because I've now watched the episode and thought it was really funny.

So at the beginning, it's said that the game was considered several times before but passed over because of its extreme difficulty, so it was "sealed away". At the end of the episode, after Inotani finishes the game, he says that he now understands why the other ADs refused to select it, re-seals it, and casts it into the ocean so that others can't repeat his mistake. Whereupon it washes up on another (clearly the same) beach, its haunting music attracting the attention of unsuspecting passers-by.

It's kind of a shame, just watching it the game has a lot of interesting ideas with multiple kinds of jumps, there's some clever looking puzzle solving, but god drat does it look unforgiving.

I miss when they do silly segments like that, it got a solid laugh out of me.

Also, now-Director Junpei Takahashi (the AKB48 fan) married a former show editor. Congratulations!

Oh, and a portable version of "The Game of Life" themed around the show will be released later on.

true.

my thought process in this case was "oh cool, valis!" "....they're gonna put arino's head on the art though aren't they?"

i wanna say there is currently a crowdfunding project going on for a third? valis collection. i wonder what's left at this point? can we get round 4 with the cellphone game and valis x? lol

At least the computer versions have some historical value, unlike every other Valis game.

I haven't had the chance to play it yet, but Violet Wisteria seems like a reasonably-well received Valis tribute. Supposedly the dev was considering licensing the IP at some point, but decided against it...

Anyone know what those games are called that Arino plays at just about every place he visits that have flippers on each side and you try to get the coin into slots? They made a custom one for the show that looked great.

Can't remember what they're called as a type of game.

There will be a booth. And there’s several already announced (to the Fanclub at least) merch goods planned. The less common or more unique ones are a light up Arino acrylic stand, a shirt with Japanese gaming artwork from Nina, and then a “20th anniversary” shirt that I think lists all the ADs. M, L, XL on the shirts. But from the popularity of the program they tend to sell out of the good stuff pretty quickly.

Random question regarding previous episodes, does anybody remember which episode it was where...

...they had to put in a password and despite going back to the footage and inputting the password, it didn't work?

...Arino played against 2 or 3 separate kids (in the studio not a tamage)?

There are two kids in the studio with him in the Lost Levels revenge episode, maybe that's what you're thinking of?
