Excuse me, do you know where Saiyans hang out?
I also remember they showed the one where you have a car and can jump to move between different levels at least two times, but I couldn't name the episodes.

I think they've shown City Connection at a game center and also as one of the showcase segments. It may well have been showcased twice, though.

I'm convinced. It's some sort of Japanese law to have one working Metal Slug machine per block in commercial areas.

He's a RE/Biohazard fan so I honestly doubt it.

They found a game center/onsen that actually has the machines in the bath. Arino loses his towel at one point.

I'm still :stare: from that episode of SMB3 where he takes Sasano and Toujima to the baths. They're all just sitting there, loving naked, with tiny towels over their junk. Sasano and Touji look so incredibly awkward and say nothing the whole time. How did he even convince them do to that...

It's not a big deal at all in Japan, where bathing together is a common social thing to do. Seeing TV personalities nearly naked at an onsen on TV isn't entirely a rarity either.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
They're awkward because they're not on-air personalities and I'd guess in part to the senior/junior stuff as well. As zari said, the onsen stuff is perfectly natural and you will often see a bare rear end or accidentally even full frontal(covered of course by a little picture of the TV personality's face) when they show onsens on TV with the right group of people.

Can you imagine a hot spring any other way? We treat saunas and such the same, we just have bigger towels. You're not supposed to go into that wearing swim trunks or some other nonsense.

Really, if you watch enough Japanese comedy you'll just come to understand that they're much more at ease with nudity and you'll just see more of it.

Speaking of which, it would have been very funny/awkward if they had tried to go to a bath house in San Francisco during the America special.

That whole "aaaagh nudity" thing seems to be an American thing. I'm Finnish, and in here nudity isn't at all considered taboo. We go to the sauna naked, even with strangers of the opposite sex sometimes. Y'all are weird.

Sasano looks awkward 100% of the time, to be entirely fair.

While I do realize it's pretty much pointless considering how old the games are, I was wondering if any HD episodes of this series exists, and if there are any plans to fansub them.

Okay, there's a lot going on today so keep up.

Top of the list is something new for the SA Team. It's our first DVD bonus episode: Bomberman. Featuring the greatest player in GCCX history, a huge cast, and multiple twist endings.

Bringing this challenge to you is the woman, the legend, the person behind the shocking announcement at the end of this post, zari-gani!

Item number two: multiupload is still not working correctly so I'm trying something new. I uploaded the video to DepositFiles to give people an easy option for access to it but I also created a torrent. The torrent contains the subtitles as well as the video. This is the first time I've done this so I'm not certain how well it's going to work but I thought it was worth a shot.

Direct Download - http://depositfiles.com/files/yvaqg339t
Torrent - http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=281310

Third and finally, as of today 50% of Game Center CX is translated. It's not all finished and ready for public consumption but there are translations for half of everything Game Center CX.

Most of season 9 and the early parts of season 10 exist in HD, but I haven't been able to find many others that are saved at an extremely high resolution.

The availability seems to be sparse but the Cannes Trip and Legacy of the Wizard eps are both in HD and I believe it's been said there's a few more out there being subbed(though this may be wrong).

It's basically dependent on whoever is capping the thing to do decide to want to do HD.

e: I'm heading out to dinner so I'll leave the torrent going and see what happens. Crawling right now.

Looking forward to all the stuff coming up. Keep up the good work.

Also, I just wanted to mention that I put up my list of games that I'm trading/selling in the SA mart thread, and I have Retro Game Challenge as one of the games that I want.

If anyone perhaps has a spare copy and is interested in what I'm offering, give me a holler.

Definitely the way to go. I finish the DDL in about an hour but the torrent is only 10% done. On the plus side I've already uploaded about 500MB so I can really help get that thing going once I get a full copy to seed.

I jumped on this with a 100mbit seedbox, so once the file is downloaded, it'll be able to upload with a speed up to 10 mb/s to others. Sure that helps ;)

Yeah, right now the bottleneck for initially seeding the torrent is my slow upstream connection. It's part of the reason why I have been resistant to using torrents for distribution. We'll see how it works out when this is all over though...

Edit: It's a bit late now but I thought I'd mention it; apparently the Ohayocon anime convention is currently having a panel about Game Center CX. That's the first time I've heard of something like that happening...

Why, yes, I do like Kirby games.
Normally when I pull down torrents I share until I've hit a ratio of 3, but I've set this one to force-start so I'll keep sharing it for a day or two. I have a pretty big upward pipe, so that ought to help!
