I'm happy they're doing Battletoads though, as it's a legit, insanely tough game. I was watching the raws of Super Mario World, and the one thing that really gets my goat is when Arino continually fails on the easiest games ever made in the history of people making and playing games. He lost 60 lives (SIXTY!) on the 4th castle. It's infuriating!

Yea, I was nerd-raging when Arino kept dying in one of the easiest parts of Kid Icarus. I mean, I wasn't that bad when I beat it when I was 12.

 Anyone know the specs of that Toshiba monitor Arino uses for his challenges? It looks like it would have the perfect amount of video outs like a crt but with more portability.

 They sell those cooling pads Arino uses at Wal-Mart. I should have picked some up.

This would probably be the best thing ever.

Especially if they got into the music.

Parappa the Rapper would be awesome too.

 Does anyone have any idea what kind of monitor Arino uses?

He even mentions needing to press the buttons early. Certainly sounds like monitor lag, but he managed to adapt pretty well.

You bring up a good point with the lag as I noticed that as well.

I was actually thinking since this is a popular TV show and they have a ton of ADs to pool info from, why they don't use a setup/tv/monitor with an RGB setup or S-Video at the very least. Judging from some of the shots (which tend to go by fast) of the back of the monitor it seems like he is always using a composite video signal. Surely they could do better?
