Arino called back.  "I got a call from Mr. Takeshi. May I speak with him?"  Inoue making smalltalk with Arino as Beat Takeshi as Kan and Abe crack up.  Kan cutting the phone call short. "You called while Abe was telling his stories. He was at a good part."  Kan apologizing to Italians as Abe talks about his experience with an Italian who was a total liar (while he was working in Italy).  That's it!

I like how Kan has had the same hair literally from birth. Also Baby Abe on a motorcycle is pretty much exactly what'd you'd expect from Abe.

It's less of a "I want to be a cameraman when I grow up" job and more of a vocational "Well I was going to be an astrophysicist, buuuuuut" profession of necessity.

Pretty low-res, but you can see the "Keep Calm and Kacho On" among other international faxes in there.  Also, I think Inoko MAX's "t-shirt" is actually meant to be sleepwear... ETA: It seems everyone who attended the event were told not to leak any info about the game he played on stage (there's going to be a mini documentary about it later this season), but I just came across someone's blog where they plainly spoiled the game AND the end result. zari-gani fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Jun 9, 2012 |

poo poo I wish I could understand Japanese. Someone record these things and translate them for me.  I do love that the staff are all buds on GCCX, it makes the whole show so much more awesome than if it was just purely an Arino showfest. The cameraman, director and producer are all minor celebs now. That is so great. zari-gani posted:

So you're saying that because you think he is gay it makes sense that he likes dressing up in women's clothes? I suggest you don't go down this road.

My gaydar pings every time I see Kibe on screen, but I can't tell if it's just a cultural misunderstanding or what. I also think he's the coolest of the behind the scenes guys. I love the segments that has he clearly designed around showing off his retro game knowledge or collection.

So apparently there's this amazing GameOn exhibition going on, and it's the best thing and you should check it out if it's near you. Anyways, they even had a Game Center CX exhibit so I got some photos and Grawl thought they were not-lovely enough to post:   Is it bad that I wanna raid that display case?

If you watch the Cannes trip, they are showing footage from the original pilot for "Retro Game Master," which featured full production values, meaning they redid the overlays as well as dub the original soundtrack. And then Kotaku got it, and whoever did their translation decided not to redo all that stuff.
