Kakaricho posted:I did Ikki from DVD boxset #2 for /vrgccx/, but I only made a script watching my DVDs, I didn't touch the video files. And I never will, I have a pretty decent life over here, a 10 year prison sentence would sorta crimp that a bit. Thanks to how much I've loved the subbed episodes, I went out and bought the the english DVD for Christmas. It's a little bit harder to justify buying the japanese ones though, because all they would do is sit in my room and look pretty.

Kakaricho posted:Where are you buying them from? They're quite cheap from Amazon.co.jp. Plus you get the neat extras, like variations of Arino`s business card. It's not so much the price, as it's hard for me to justify buying a DVD that I can't use for its intended purpose (that is, one I can't watch because it doesn't have english audio or subtitles). I wasn't considering the extras though; memorabilia such as versions of Arino's business card makes it a little easier to justify a purchase (so it's more like I'm buying the memorabilia that comes with free dvds). For anyone else who's curious, the DVDs from Amazon.co.jp around around $44 each, and global shipping to the US is about $9.50 (at least to Alaska). It's definitely worth considering if you're at all interested in purchasing the dvds.

zari-gani posted:The book is by Random Stranger, so that's the best way to support him. There's a crazy amount of info in there! I'm a freelance artist and the best way to support me is by buying shirts/prints at my Fangamer or Yetee store. I don't like to plug them here though because it's unrelated to GCCX. Thanks for the links; I forwarded them to my non-goon friend who both loves GCCX and SNES games so hopefully she'll buy some stuff as well.

Didn't quite mean for them to be all at once, but since we were coming up with our wishlists I figured I'd include mine as well. I did use your instructions to request Legendary Wings though, since several of my other choices had other advocates.

Light Gun Man posted:Also just realizing I want Arino to play a TMNT game. First NES game would probably be the obvious long and hard one the show would pick. The first one is stupidly hard, and I'm not sure it would be that fun to watch. It looks like even with the code you only get 4 continues, which is going to be rough. The 2nd one is a beat 'em up, and we know how good Arino is at those (though as I recall it also has a stage select code to help).

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Flying Dragon came out on the Wii U VC a couple weeks ago, completely out of nowhere. Culture Brain lives! I'd have loved to see him take on Flying Warriors, but as you mentioned it's a weird mashup of two other games and was never released in Japan.

Konsek posted:I just got around to watching that episode the other day. It made me wonder, how much of the show is Arino just being spontaneously witty and how much is Kibe's writing? I assume he writes in stuff like an AD turning up in a police uniform and stuff like that, but Arino's lines? One of the things that's always bugged me about the Bikkuriman World episode is at the end when Arino sticks up all the valuable stickers. I really hope that was scripted, or that they at least replaced the poor writer's stickers after the show.

Random Stranger posted:Working on an episode where Arino plays the same handful of stages for twelve hours straight has made me appreciate when things are easier for him. Honestly, some of my favorite episodes are ones where Arino has a comparatively easy time of things. It's refreshing to see him in good spirits during the course of a challenge.

cubeboy posted:I second the Mighty Bomb Jack saga. It didn't make me cry, but very entertaining, and I believe it does a great job summarizing what the show is all about. A few others One I haven't mentioned so far is Super Mario Land. I find it really entertaining, but you probably need to watch a few other episodes first. Another personal favorite is Bikkuriman World, since it has some 'classic' Arino moments.

King Vidiot posted:I (re)watch a random episode of Game Center CX every night before I go to bed, it's kinda become my ritual. I usually make it 3/4 of the way through and then nod off to wake up to the final blast of pop music over the ending "mail-in for a chance to win a copy of the game" part. I think I've completely forgotten which games Arino even completes because I always miss the very end. This is me on Friday/Saturday nights, though in my defense I always decide that 1am is a great time to rewatch an episode and I end up waking up right at the end.

Vlaphor posted:17 min 47 sec to be exact According to speedrun.com's leaderboards, the current record without manipulation is 5 hours, 15 minutes. Trying to replicate the TAS gets down to a very respectable 25 minutes, 21 seconds. With that in mind, Arino is totally going to get lost in the tablet cave for an hour.
