I've been out of town, and I haven't taken the time to make sure if the stream will be stable tonight or not, but in the meanwhile, Fuji ONE is being streamed for tonight's episode of Game Center CX on Freshverse. No schedule, though I may turn it to a local channel around 8:00 for Arashi VS., (it's on tonight, right?), but I'll make sure GCCX is on tonight at 10:00 PM JST, (that's about 2 1/2 hours from the time I post this).

We still have 2 hours and 20 minutes, roughly. I apologize to anyone I had misled! I will turn on ひみつの嵐ちゃん! (Himitsu no Arashi-chan) for the others that had wanted to watch that instead at 22:00, then leave it on Fuji ONE (not TWO as I had previously thought), after that. I wonder if this will be the normal scheduling time for this season? Seems late.

Just so you guys know Kan tweeted a few hours ago that there was going to be a special announcement at the end of the episode. Be sure to watch after the credits for it.

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.

I popped over to amazon.co.jp to see if there was a product posting there (they'd probably have it before it got mentioned on the show). While I didn't find that I did find something else coming out very soon that may be of interest to GCCX fans.

It's called Game Record GP. It looks like it will be a DVD that's the polar opposite of Game Center CX; it's all about super players trying to achieve incredibly hard feats in old games. It gets released on April 25 and there are four different disks with three challenges on each disk. The contents are 90 minutes long so they're probably short challenges. I may wind up ordering one to see what it's like...

They showed Derby Owners Club for a few seconds at the beginning of the Tamage segment and now I desperately want Arino to play it. If only to see what he names his horse.

...and because it's my favorite arcade game...

The GCCX SEGA DVD that was shown during the 40th bday live special has a nice segment. It will have a Virtual Fighter Staff Tournament.

To be more specific Kan tweeted there would be news about an event. Looks like it's that "Game Center CX in Touhoku-Iwate" thing? Maybe it's related to the earthquake.

Aaaand it looks like it from the screencap, but did they show the gifts they couldn't get around to properly featuring on the birthday challenge?

Only a few, it looks like it will most likely be a recurring segment this season. I don't know how I feel about that, but they had enough fun with it this week so maybe it'll be worth watching.

Arino has done a few earthquake relief shows so it could be all part of that.

Watching the stream because I could kill some time.

That's actually amazingly high quality, does this mean we'll see plenty of HQ releases for the later episodes once you guys get around to them?

The versions I have are at worst a higher quality than the stream (slightly higher resolution, much less artifacting since they don't have to go through Flash). However, I have been unable to find very few really high resolution versions of later episodes that necessitate a high bitrate and consequently a special high quality version.

But the guy who has been encoding the most widely available versions of episodes in the past year or so is, to put it mildly, loving incompetent. He encodes everything in Windows media format and uses a relatively low resolution. He broke Battletoads 2 into two videos for some reason; one five minutes long and the other 55 minutes long. In the middle of the Tenka no Goikenban episode he hits FF on his playback and doesn't notice for about thirty seconds and then instead of starting over he left it in (I still haven't been able to find anything other than his version and the stream version which means it'll have to be patched). If I can ever find a better source I'd be overjoyed but Japanese filesharing seems to be stuck around 1998.

I'd really just say that it's anything that doesn't relate to anime (and Tokusatsu by proxy) is stuck that far back. Albeit, some J-Dramas and K-Dramas avoid such a fate.
