The book looks great, although I'll be waiting for a physical release myself as well. Without a tablet or the like, my only portable option is my laptop, which has a terrible battery life due to age, and this book seems like something that would be awesome to have on the go, for the occasional weekend trip or long commutes.

That, and I still have to put aside some money to buy the DVD box set as well, which will come first.

It looks like somebody else has started subbing as well, as a new translated video popped up recently. It's the first revenge episode. Not sure if this news has made the rounds yet. URL is spoilered because just like in the OP, the URL technically spoils the result of an episode.

Actually, I think the counter is broken, because they had just one copy left when I bought mine on the 6th, and it's still sitting at 1 now.

I'll have to see what I get when mine shows up today - it already arrived in Germany, so it should show up on time. FedEx sure is snappy.

For the "four letters of the alphabet" thing, I thought a bit outside the box and ended up deciding that it was going to be Murder on the Mississippi, because "Mississippi" only uses four letters of the alphabet.

They should have sent a letter in with the secret word on it. Maybe the game is lovely enough, that nobody bothered to enter the contest, and they could have won something.

Or at least receive an amusing reply they could put on a future episode.

They probably would have gotten something, because the same thing happened in the Wing of Madoola episode. It was Sunsoft there, too. Arino found a secret word, but couldn't find the postcard to send it in with, so he instead called Sunsoft up and asked if he could get something if he just sent the word in on a regular postcard (or something like that). He was told he wouldn't win anything (because they didn't have the special prize in storage anymore), but got sent some small Hebereke plushies instead.

Question: Is it possible to easily re-do this latest sub with a different video file? Because I found a link to a different master over on 4chan's GCCX thread:

https://mega.co.nz/#!MYVQUKgb!PwQ6A2GaiLLhiUB-HIvnMXoA8ZUsuJHewHFcgWY8hC8

It's 30 FPS (which is probably better for consistency's sake) and the video quality is superior, while at the same resolution - everything looks much sharper, and scaling it up to full screen doesn't cause eyesores anymore. I'm not sure what was done to the master that was used to "improve" it.

Here's a comparison shot for upscaling - it's easy to see how much better this one is:

I'm currently upping the Karnov episode to my Mediafire account, where it should stay longer. Give it about 2 hours.

Also, VR-GCCX has hit somewhat of a snag with our subber/encoder quitting, citing external drama and burn-out as his reasons, which leaves us with basically nothing but Kakaricho and the people in the 4chan threads. Time will tell where this goes.

Which of these is the sting that plays at the end of a game-playing segment that's all dramatic and cliffhangary and stuff? It's not Headhunter, and I don't think it's Pirates of the Caribbean, and those are the only two that are just listed as 'Arino's Challenge BGM'...

Okay, I'm a little confused, this show looks great but how do I start? Should I just order the Amazon DVD? I don't know Japanese at all since that's pretty important.

Start by grabbing some episodes from these torrents: http://www.nyaa.se/?user=241573

No sense in buying the DVD right away before you know if the show is for you.

As for which episodes to start with, there's a list in the OP with a good amount of different things you could be looking for. A personal favorite I'd pick to start with is episode 1 in season 14, Paris-Dakar Rally Special. It encapsulates a lot of things that are great about GCCX. Alternatively, the Lemmings episodes would also be a great place to start.

VR-GCCX started on the GameCenter CX threads on /vr/ and has since disbanded over drama involving burnout of the subber, video quality and a few other things. Kakaricho here was the main driving element of the group as the translator and has since moved on to the SA team (I think?).

If Random Stranger didn't want to update the OP, that'd be his prerogative, but why do you (by whom I mean TheMcD and Mister Chief) have a problem with me wanting the OP updated? I literally don't understand why having a site that has the correct information for GCCX episodes means it's wrong for me to ask that incorrect information be corrected or removed.

It's not wrong, but I just figure it's not worth the effort. If the OP was the main hub for centralized GCCX information, then I would think it prudent to make sure it's updated, but with the site existing, one might as well just use that and move on.

This is a post that shouldn't have to be made, but some of the posts in this thread have been making me wonder-- everyone who's watched it knows that those are joke subs and not what's actually being said, right?

The complete tonal shift at the reading of the catch copies should normally be a dead giveaway.

Still, I had no idea about this going into the video, and the thing that stood out to me was the "panoramic" talk I recognized from the original segment. So combine that with the obvious cuts, the very different display of the posters and the fact the posters are English and it should be very obvious.

As an aside, is there a particular reason why DVD bonus and Nintendo Channel challenges are subbed so little compared to regular episodes (40~50% on the former compared to roughly 70~80% on the latter)?

Not complaining, just wondering. Well, maybe I am complaining, because I want to see Spelunker subbed, but then again, I also want to see DKC2 subbed, so it evens out.

He doesn't move exactly the same, it looks a bit different. And the combat is completely different too (sword combat in PoP vs. punches and kicks in Nosferatu). Just because it's very similar doesn't mean it's a reskin - Prince of Persia simply created a genre of "realistic sidescrollers" that some people got in on.

Yeah, the DVDs were translated by ZG. I'm pretty sure if SAGCCX wasn't around, I wouldn't have these, but be an rear end in a top hat sure.

Knowledge spread and creation of a whole new overseas market are powerful things, aren't they? While I don't really know my history, I'm pretty sure the SA-GCCX project has been directly responsible for an increased awareness for GameCenter CX overseas, which opened up a whole new market for them, leading to the KOTAK releases, the Diskotek DVD set, and it probably had an impact as far as the turnout for things like the Paris event are concerned. I think the show overall has profited from the work this group has done.

I certainly wouldn't have gotten into the show without those subs, myself.

The most common games for Neo Geo in the states in no order are Puzzle Bobble, Magician Lord and Nam-1975. Metal Slug was in a lot of places but most every Neo Geo cab I remember growing up had Puzzle Bobble more than Metal Slug.

The Neo-Geos I played when I was younger mostly had Metal Slug, Puzzle Bobble and some version of King of Fighters as near constants, which was mostly on vacation in Portugal or the Canaries. Never encountered any in Germany or on any of the local Army bases.

As for that future episode, could it be that it involves a window washer?
