So, calling back to the Famicom Converter conversation a few pages back, today I bombed through a few thrift stores, seeing what I could find, I thought I was king poo poo when I snagged a couple cartridges that looked promising only to get home and find I was a moron and had gotten the pinouts backwards in my head. When that conversation happened, I immediately ran to my current collection, to see if any matched, I found only one flat-head-screw black-label title, but it was a center-pin Gumshoe and I left it at that. Between then and now I apparently started thinking that center-pin meant converter and not the other way around. Welp. e: On the other hand, I found cheap copies of MULE, Guerrilla War, Shadow of the Ninja and Goldeneye 007, so it wasn't all a loss. ee: What about carts that have the correct (side) pinout but the wrong (three hex) screws? hexwren fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Nov 20, 2012 |

Obeast posted:I would actually love a vending machine that did put out a small bowl of ramen or dried chicken noodle soup and filled it with hot water to cook in a few minutes. I actually ran into one of these in a hotel in City of Industry, California. The water wasn't hot enough and it wasn't filtered very well/at all. Disappointing.

Hit or miss Clitoris posted:I was always so disappointed that MXC is the way Takeshi's Castle was broadcast here. I seem to remember seeing maybe a subtitled version of TC on PBS decades ago, though maybe not. It might have just been one of those "check out this crazy poo poo from other countries" specials that FOX would occasionally air. Although I would totally buy DVDs of MXC if they had a subtitled version of the Japanese show instead of that weird, stupid dub which I can only assume was improvised on the spot. Seconding this - I'm a huge fan of physical game shows (Kinniku Banzuke, Sasuke, It's A Knockout/Jeux Sans Frontieres, Wipeout/Total Wipeout, The Crystal Maze, etc.) and MXC just kind of makes me sad inside.

Presumably there's some other event at the venue. Or Arino's already scheduled for something else that Monday. There doesn't seem to be an easily-accessible Budokan schedule page, much less one in English.

"Thanks, GCX is always a bit of a slog to get through and I think we end up making the most mistakes in it because Arino's accent is difficult and after a while you just don't care anymore. If you're interested, there's always translation positions open~" In response to several translation corrections. Holy poo poo, TVN.

Oh, there's no way that Japanese media is that obsessed with Prince Ig---Wikipedia posted:Different adaptations of No. 17 "Gliding Dance of the Maidens" have been featured as background music in several Japanese animated TV series, including Princess Tutu, Noir, and Kare Kano, while it is given a special significance in RahXephon. The track "The Garden of Everything" on the top 10 Maaya Sakamoto single "Tune the Rainbow" uses it as a sub-melody.

Hirayuki posted:Sounds like an old-fashioned sumo game, called "Tap-Tap Sumo". You put two stand-up cutouts (or origami figures) of sumo wrestlers (or anything else, really) on the bottom of an overturned box and tap the box to move your wrestler in the hopes that he'll take down your opponent's. Just a fun thing to do. Huh, it's the prototype for Electric Football.

The New Iron Chef looked really good, it's a shame it neither got any ratings nor got any sub groups working on it. I watched some of it raw, it was fun, but still needed some level of translation to explain some of the more esoteric cooking activities.

Well, I just spent the last bit while waiting for this DVD to burn playing Solomon's Key and getting as far as I ever have in the time that I've owned the thing. Stage 10. That'd be a candidate for sure.

It depends on when you're talking about. In the early days, it was always, like, Magician Lord, Sengoku, NAM-1975 and Ninja Combat. Without fail. The latter days, it'd be a Metal Slug and a Magical Drop. I almost never saw four-slot machines, and if I did, they'd have KOF and Super Sidekicks carts to go with the slug and drop.

Pastry of the Year posted:I don't think it's either-or. Drakengard has got way more soul than, say, Cobra Command for the NES, but the old Yuji Horii mystery games have more soul than any Oh But The Troops-style first-person shooter you care to name. Man, don't knock Cobra Command. That's one of the most perfect frustration generators ever produced on this planet. (I've never beaten the second stage.)

Encha277 posted:I know this isn't directly related to Gamecenter CX, but I wanted to mention a show that aired in Japan last fall called "No Continue Kid". It's about a teenager growing up in a gamecenter and each episode focuses on a particular arcade or NES game. The show features a fair bit of actual gameplay content and goes over tips and tricks. What you didn't mention is how incredibly loving hard it is to get ahold of episodes and subs. I've been through several torrent sites, a few forums, and I've just now found the raws...blu-ray rips of the whole series, in 44 parts on free hosting sites, all rared up and listed on a completely different forum from where the subs were. A friend of mine who works in translation has related to me this is related to an amazing level of paranoia on the part of J-Drama fandom surrounding not wanting to get shut down for copyright infringement. Like, will only share files through locked invite-only livejournal communities and trying to figure out how to watermark individually downloaded files so they can track who leaked a particular copy of a video if it's shared anywhere else. loving incredible.

Solved it - firefox basically starts chunking on everything once it's eating enough RAM and Mega throws an error if firefox doesn't allow it enough RAM.
