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

Except for the 2-hour Takeshi's Challenge challenge :v:

I was also able to send a fax through faxzero not long ago, though it took two tries.

Thanks for the tip, Im re-trying now!
Also thanks for the translations, you're making my decade!

I think he is going for the bonus ones to make up for his poor skil at the others, I personally prefer the top down view and go for a risky drop landing but it means hovering really close to the water.

Yeah I doubt he'd do overtime on his birthday. I feel bad enough for his family as it is!

It seems everyone is paying attention to the altimeter but Arino. The amount of time he spends at 2 feet on the rocket belt is nerve wracking.

I think Arino is about to cry for being stuck on this for this long. I'll give him one or two more attempts, but my eyelids and brain are telling me to get to sleep.

Yeah, ignore me about not getting through on faxzero, I didn't think to click the international link. Now I'm just trying to justify spending almost 4 dollars to send a few lines of random text to a Japanese celebrity who likely won't even see the thing.

Ah screw it, the man's turning 40 and it doesn't look like he's gonna be beating this anytime soon. I'll try the convenience store one more time.

Also, love how they're treating the light plane part almost like a rally race. "One hundred, straight ahead."

Yes my fax just went through on Fax Zero! Could you guys keep an eye out of a Union Jack?

Also I find it funny that the stream is advertising CoD MW3 DLC over GCCX, they're polar opposites of what I think of games.

Its interesting to watch a challenge live, since I sometimes feel that they exagerate how many times he dies in challenge. This part has been going for two and half hours I think, and he's nearly died thirty times. So I guess they dont have to exagerate too much.

I think he's doing really well though! Heaven knows how badly I would be doing, and I think I might have actually finished this game. It ends with an awesome helicopter section right?

FINALLY. Fax went through. The hell's wrong with me, on a Friday night, leaving my apartment just to run out to fax a hand-written note to a 40-year-old playing video games.

Did I miss anything? Doesn't look like it....

e: crap, sorry for the doublepost. Figured it had taken me longer than that.

I'll give him one more chance to beat this level. If he messes up, then I'm going to bed.

If I do go to bed, then it's been fun goons and goonette(s)! Sorry I can't stay for the last couple hours, but I'm way past my usual bedtime and I have some stuff to do later today. I hope that we can get an abridged version of this so I can see how it ends if he gets past this level (which I'm really doubting he will, but he's pulled off some pretty amazing things over the years, so I know it's not impossible).

Edit: Okay, good night! :)

Heh, just tried doing this same light plane test myself. First try, 42 points, second try, 70. It's really not hard.

I personally find the plane the hardest, particualry because you have the extra pressure of having to land. But yes, its not too hard to if you corner early and allow time for turning and gaining altitude.

I wonder how he copes with the pressure or if it even bothers him anymore.

And yeah, that's AD Tsuroka.
