I've got the GCCX DVDs coming this weekend (finally!). What's the method for ripping these things into per-challenge video files that all the cool kids use nowadays?

It's less sad when you actually play Animal Crossing because the game has a Mom who sends you presents anyway and they probably thought those were from their mother. But it's still sweet that they got that impression.
Someone always points that out, but letters from the in-game mom don't stack up in your absence. When you come back after a long time, you'll probably have one from maybe your last birthday and that's it.

Anyway, I bet the PaRappa challenge is going to beat every level with "Cool" rating and unlock the bonus thing. Arino will not be told this until he's spent a few hours beating the game on Easy and Normal. Personally, I've never been able to get "Cool" at all in level 2. Unless there's a simple method to pulling it off and the staff tells him about it, it's gonna be tough.

For those interested, the blurb on Fuji TV:

A special episode to commemorate the 150th broadcast...
Challenging Parappa the Rapper on the Playstation!
A monumental rhythm game that even gained popularity among women with its cute characters.
It requires fast reflexes and a sense of rhythm. A tough fight for Chief Arino!
He tackles various unusual? methods in order to get the rhythm down.
Will the middle-aged rapper Arinoppa be able to clear it?!

For the arcade trip,
We go to "Toy Park Masamiya" in Koutou.
Check out all kinds of toys at a shopping street called "Noraku Road."
We'll also play a certain game that is a staple of lowtown arcades!

In the new segment "Barcode Gambler,"
Two famous historical sims duke it out.
It's a close battle...!
Will Chief Arino's prediction hit the mark?

And of course, 1990 GB.
Stay tuned!

The game itself is great for episode #150, but I hope they do some great things for the milestone episode. Episode #100 had some great moments for that milestone episode. And going to Korea for #50 was great as well.

I don't know anything about it specifically but it appears to be Crayon Shin-Chan

^^^Yeah it's shin-chan, which functions very much like the Simpsons in Japan, with guest stars and all. (They did a crossover with Kamen Rider Fourze, which I recently watched ha ha.)

Yoiko are practicing for an audition for a TV program, and Shin is their test audience. He thinks their jokes are old and lame, just like the 'wi' character in their group name. Then he does some jokes for them. They're kind of... "Take my wife, please."-esque. Then they say they're going to use his jokes as inspiration, and they do. Shin says, "I don't get the jokes these young people think are funny these days."

Now I kind of want to actually see some sketches by Yoiko.

And their Kansai dialect is way stronger than in real life, played up to reinforce the "Kansai people = manzai comedy duos" thing. Remember when Arino was laughing at the Osaka businessman's dialect in Night of the Sickle Weasel? It's kind of like that (and a similar stereotype).

Freshverse has been down since about May or so. I found few alternate streams through sopcast but those have since gone down. Someone on the Freshverse forums found a way to access streams of certain Japanese TV channels but the one GCCX airs on didn't seem to be there.

So yeah, if anyone finds a place to watch it please share.

In the pre-bittorrent days when I was in college, our anime club had a bunch of tapes of Shin-chan donated by some guys from Hawaii, recorded straight from TV, sometimes with commercials.

Man, I scoured the internet and only ever found ten episodes of the old subs in a torrent. There were a few on some... poo poo, MSN Video site, I think? It was the age of the VHS where every tape was disposable and the only people with capture software were industry professionals, and by the time capture software became common, most of the home viewers' tapes were overwritten or tossed in the trash.

And there's pretty much a 0% chance JN Productions or KIKU-TV would ever let anyone touch their master reels :smith:

I had Sopcast for two days before they went down. It was the happiest evening I ever spent. :negative:

But we will never be able to wish Gunpei a great 60th birthday. :(

Speaking of birthdays, has Arino brought up the subject of retiring from the show due to age? I know that we briefly discussed his eventual retirement a few pages back, but I am curious if there is anything conclusive to be found. I know that most Japanese shows tend not to make this sort of thing known until the last minute, but there are usually some clues beforehand.
