woah, you look
REALLY pissed off...
Let me echo the comments on how great the poster is Zari. It's crazy to think how small the GCCX subbing community was just a year ago and how much its become integrated with the show itself, so huge thanks to everyone else involved for rocketing the show on this crazy run. For me that includes Ray for getting that 1UP Show segment because I had never heard of it before then.

Presents they couldn't feature and had to show off at the end of the special:



-A written message from narrator Takeda (of the arcade trips) with a picture of her newborn.


-A video message and gift basket from a former AP



-A video message from Kaayan (the little kid he talked to during Ring Ring Tactics; he's 18 now) <--I was waiting for this one! Too bad we couldn't see it)


-A famicom cassette version of the detective mystery game from Retro Game Challenge 2 (probably just for show) made by the indies zero CEO


-A video message from the kid who helped Arino beat Super Mario 2


-A limited edition Zelda 3DS

I just woke up and got caught up with the thread... Holy crap, zari's gift is beyond awesome! I'm kinda pissed that I went to bed when I did, because I would've loved to have seen the reaction live. :)

Like I said in the post I made before I went to bed, I hope that we'll get an abridged version of this episode (or a behind the scenes documentary like the Lemmings 24 hour special) so I can see a lot of the major stuff that I missed since it looks like I missed quite a bit.

gently caress me, seriously? I thought I went to bed around half an hour before the good stuff happened. I should never lose my faith in Arino ever again since I expected the rest of the episode to be nothing but that level. :smithicide:

Edit: You're right... gently caress! :mad:

Yes the gloves explaining English was what got me. Though if some chick that looked like a power ranger tried to teach me Spanish when I was younger I probably would have paid attention.

They got really tricky with that bonus quiz, having both a clock AND a watch. That was a tough one.

Is there somewhere to download this show because this is the exact sort of thing I'd love to take a nap to.

e: does the site stream stuff 24/7? I only have the most boring and basic of cable in case I need a weather report during a tornado I guess and this would rule to just leave on when I don't have anything specific to watch.

Late thanks to freshverse. You guy(s) have my endorsement, doubly so if you do run for office.

Late congrats to the foreign faxers who got featured. I was honestly a touch doubtful they'd acknowledge them, but was genuinely surprised!

Late proper congrats to zari for being awesome, and specifically, out-self-referencing the show in one swift motion, holy heck

For those who missed the show at midnight with the bday celebrations, Justin.tv has the video. It starts at about the 39 min mark. Zarigani's gift starts at about the 48 min mark.

I just had a bit of a thought. Is there any idea as to how many people watch each GCCX subbed episode? Number from trackers and download links and the such? Just wondering.

I have a general idea though we spread out through a lot of secondary sources so I can just work out a general range. An episode gets about 100,000 viewers as a lowball estimate.

I only got to watch a few hours of the live event this morning but it was fun. I am pretty sad that none of my faxes went through though. :(

The initial ones were around 150k. That quickly fell to about 40k.

I should also mention that the viewership is still growing. Every time I do a check I find out that the number has increased even more. That 100,000 number was what I worked out around Christmas.

I'm in the US and I've got it on my iPhone, so yeah you can get it through the US app store. Language is only in Japanese of course but it's not a game with a lot of reading as you can guess.
