That's really awesome. I wasn't paying much attention to the stream (I was writing my previous post) until I saw the US flag in the corner of my eye and realized that they were showing off your fax. Arino sounded pretty surprised by it, which isn't surprising since he probably didn't realize that we're watching (and cheering for) him as well. :)

Congrats to those who got their faxes on the show!

They only really commented on one of them.
Kibe: "This one is from Greece."
Arino: "What? How do you know?"
Kibe: "It says 'Greece' [in Japanese]."
Arino: "They wrote it in katakana!"

I used faxzero.com. If you click the international fax link and choose Japan, it'll put in the national code for you, just drop the 0 off the front of the fax number (3-whatever instead of 03-whatever).

I released it's not quite centered, if you want I'll center it better and/or resize it.

Pretty much. As Kan would say, it's a cruel system.

Brutal. I don't know if he's going to make it through since this is the case.

It's about 5 in the morning in CA, I'm assuming this is going to wrap up sometime soon? I'd hate to miss some of it.

Actually, if it's not too much trouble maybe centering it would be good...though again, if you think it would look better as a gif later then I might wait on it till a gif can be made. I forget if just the face is funny or if him making the face was just as good :v:

Recentering it will be easy enough, so you can hold onto it if no one makes the .gif.

Arino's got the cooling pads out... I'm kinda surprised it took him this long considering how long he's been stuck on this level.

Edit: What are they laughing about?

VVV Something like that... I'm at the point where I'm halfway paying attention unless there's a lot of yelling going on, so I've definitely lost track of time.

He's been on this section since 8:51 according to my record, but there have been a few segments in the meantime. He's crash landed on this part 22 times, im not even counting the number of times he failed due to not having enough points.

Tried to send a fax from a convenience store here, but apparently they're still getting slammed as of half an hour ago. I got a busy error at least 5 times before giving up.

Glad people are seeing theirs though! And seriously, to the people providing links to the streams? You're godsends. I don't get FujiTV, so I always miss out on these.

e: faxzero doesn't seem to be working any more either..."At the request of the receiver, faxes cannot be sent to 0355001550."

opened one boxed presents; the couple of others were the video hints. Yeah, these live shows almost never go as planned.

Only one so far! :( I think he opens one per level he passes. He has 39 more to open so I hope he gets one soon!

Lock, how much is Fuji TV to recieve?

poo poo, well i hope mine got through. To be honest I think we already achieved that objective of letting him know he is loved internationally, so Im really pleased that some got through!

EDIT: Mine failed too, something about the phone line being disconnected :(

As far as I can tell, you didn't miss anything in terms of the presents. It's sad, because I really want to see which one zari hinted to know something about (I'm sure she'll tell us about it if he doesn't open it).

Honestly I don't know, I've never bothered with getting cable or satellite hooked up in my apartment. I do know that the station GCCX is broadcasted on is usually an extra channel beyond the basic package, though sometimes the specials are broadcast on a different station.

And yah, I feel better after seeing the screengrabs of them showing the international faxes. Pretty sure they're getting the message!

There's a reason why you guys aren't going to get the live challenges translated.

So how many hours do you think he's going to go over? I figured it would probably be four hours...

Edit: My fax through Fax Zero just went through so they're not blocking it now...

No, they're opening presents at random. A bunch have been "opened" so far -- each message from a celebrity and how-to videos by Emoto and Ito count as one present. As for physical presents, yeah, they've only opened the amazing Birthday Slime so far.

Also: Kan has stated in his twitter that there will definitely be no extensions this time.

I kinda doubt that they will go overtime with this at this rate unless a miracle happens and/or one of the ADs step in and finishes this level for him out of pure frustration.

Edit: If he 100 pts the hang glider, I will stick with this until the end regardless of how tired I get. :)

VVVV I know how you feel... I also how how the staff feels watching him play a game for nearly 13 hours straight.

Someone said this in the thread but you have to click the international fax link near the top of the page (I didn't see it at first but I searched the page for "international" and found it, it's just a small text link) and remove the 0 at the start of the number. I sent one, but it's still in the "attempting to send" phase so there's no telling if it'll actually go through.

edit: Well apparently mine just finished delivering so GO FOR IT!

Hitting the moving platform seems like complete dumb luck to me. You can't see it coming when you're up in the air and have to pretty much approximate where you think it's going to be once you've descended. The one time I remember Arino landing on it was when it changed directions. He missed it the first time, overshooting slightly, but caught it on the way back. Unfortunately, I don't think the platform changes directions like that in the later levels.

That's really weird, I'm still getting the error. Maybe it's just blocked from Japan? Or they just throw it up when they get a busy signal?

Either way, good to hear people from the thread ARE getting through.

EDIT: hurfdurf I'm an idiot, didn't think to try the international link, thanks Gidget! Still, $3+ when I'm right freaking here? Ouch.

It's easier if you keep the default view, I think - at least that way you can kind of see it coming.
