Wow, I was just thinking earlier today about asking about which episode that was. Weird. Eerie. (What was the issue there, anyway? Mistaking two similar characters?)

Looking at it, I genuinely cannot tell what the issue is. Continue fail. First attempt to enter, fails. Second attempt to enter, succeeds. My only guess would be they restarted the console inbetween attempts and for some reason this game has passwords that only work on a cold boot or whatever. That doesn't make sense, but neither does the situation as presented in the show, so who knows.

Thank you for the new release! The game looked insanely difficult, particularly towards the end. I'm pretty sure my hands would have been destroyed after just a couple hours if I were the one playing.

I've been working my way through the Metal Gear Solid DVD episode (not necessarily recommended, it mostly consists of Arino watching the cutscenes and going, "Huh") but I got to the bit where Ocelot puts Snake in the torture rack and you have to mash to stay conscious, and I think Arino might be the slowest button masher I've ever seen. https://imgur.com/a/XuJmh2R

That was probably the biggest disappointment I've ever had from the show (MGS chllenge). And I saw the movie in theatres. Kakaricho fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Aug 25, 2023 |

Hello all! Longtime lurkers, first-time posters. We are proud to bring you GCCX, following in the footsteps of those that came before us, such as GooseCanyon and of course the gold standard SA-GCCX. To that end, we wondered if the people behind releases from smaller groups such as Clover or LC-GCCX might still be around. Perhaps even reading this thread? If any of you see this, please send us a PM as there's a few questions we have. You may be able to help us. Now it's back to working on upcoming releases... locationscouts fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Sep 3, 2023 |

I think it's great that other groups are picking up where others have left-off, for whatever reason. I don't check it often, but if you or any other teams want to email me at vrkakaricho@gmail.com, please feel free to do so.locationscouts posted:maybe even jD (VRis raws), might still be around. VRis...what exactly? It was a long time ago, but that person is why the VR team ceased to exist. Tread lightly, I'd hate to see people deprived of getting new subtitled episodes.

Kakaricho posted:It was a long time ago, but that person is why the VR team ceased to exist. On that topic though, as it stands there are a number of Nyaa uploads that aren't seeded, from several years ago. And a handful seem to be HD broadcast transport streams or MKV/MP4 encodes of some episodes that we otherwise may have in only SD or resolution or low quality encodes. Particularly we are looking for the BS Sky PerfecTV TS files (~110s,130-150ish) and some CS Fuji One TS files (~110s,160s-180s).

They already did an excellent localization job on the first game on the DS, hopefully they'll see merit in doing it for the 2nd game and doing a release of it for the west.

I guess the question is how much work they'd have to put into it. They don't have a localized script for the second game, and that has that detective game, which would be the biggest effort of the lot. If they do, I hope they throw out the "Retro Game Challenge" skin. I was very annoyed when I learned the Japanese original had ADs as the magazine editors and I lost out on that in favor of generic fictional reviewers and editors.

Kakaricho posted:If you can pay through Lawson Ticket. Japanese ticket buying is so backwards hosed, I was lucky enough to have a Japanese friend to buy me the ticket to get to see the Museum in Sendai, otherwise I was lost with the ticket vending machine. How hard it is to make a website where you just select the ticket and put in your credit card.

Kakaricho posted:edit: Didn't get to see the GCX 20th Museum in Japan? Now the Shibuya location can be viewed online! lol. Yeah, I forget if it was in this thread I touched on it but there's a certain not-necessarily-malicious insularity to these sorts of systems. Everything is developed pretty much explicitly for the Japanese market which often does things in kind of its own custom way that immediately fails if you attempt to bring it international in any meaningful capacity. The Lawson system is super-convenient if you live in Japan because you'll almost certainly be passing one in your day-to-day...not so much if you're not physically in Japan.

I think you can pretty much input random phone number and it'll be fine. One could just tie tickets to name and require ID at gates (which is what they do at some concerts here).

A lot of this is because of idol concerts, apparently.

Yeah for what Retro Game Challenge was trying to do, i.e. translate that nostalgic experience for American kids who played games and read mags like EGM in the 90s, I think that was a really well done adaptation. Would be cool to have a retranslation directed at fans of GCCX though.

FLOWERS FOR THE GCCX 20TH ANNIVERSARY 2013: Flowers we sent to the 10th anniversary in Budokan   2018: Flowers we sent to the 15th anniversary in Makuhari Messe (me showing them off) Let's do it again! The show isn't until Oct 29 (Oct 28 in North America), but I want to get a good head start on this and put in my order mid-October. Going with the usual store. Arrangements begin at 22,000 yen (~150 USD). Both times, we were able to pool together over $600 (USD) to send a premium arrangement. No pressure to go that high though. And again, I'm going to draw a custom banner showing flags from all the countries represented. Want to pitch in? ETA: Momentum on this has been much slower than previous years, so if you're thinking about contributing, please do! Any little bit will help. I'd like to reach at least 150 USD. 10/09 UPDATE: I am done crowdfunding and have ordered the flowers. Thanks for pitching in! zari-gani fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Oct 10, 2023 |

I think it might be easier if you provide an alternate way to contact you outside of SA, such as Discord or Telegram. I've seen a few people express interest in giving money for the flower arrangement, but they don't want to drop extra money on registering for SA.

Maybe zari-gani can provide a Discord or Steam username and people without PM/forum account can contact from there. Or, as an alternative and if no one minds, I can collect those messages and pass them along to zari-gani in one go.

Yeah good point; my limiting to forum PMs was mostly because I wanted to keep it low-scale and easier to keep track of contributions when this thread was more active. But since it's going a bit slow and the community has expanded a lot since then, here: Pitching in for flowers link removed 9/20 UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who's pitched in so far; we've hit the minimum amount of 150 USD! Anything beyond this will be used to get a bigger, nicer arrangement. Countries represented as of 9/21: Canada, USA, Mexico, Portugal, Poland, UK, Australia, Finland, New Zealand 10/09 UPDATE: I am done crowdfunding and have ordered the flowers, so I won't be taking any more donations.
