I think that's the same guy that I found a picture of before.

Anyway, I completely forgot that the episode I'm working on has a tamage to a place that I've actually been to.

We've definitely seen this guy before but I'm not sure what convention it was at.

Six days ago a Japanese "visual TV magazine" called +act mini released an issue with an article about GCCX. It has interviews and a feature on the GCCX in USA DVD. Anyone in Japan able to pick that up?

vvv Cool. I don't think it comes out very often -- seems to be an offshoot of +act, which is a monthly -- so it should still be out.

I'll have a look for it at lunchtime. If I find it, I may be able to scan the relevant pages this afternoon.

Was the size of the issue of Jump that was given to Arino indicative of the size of a weekly issue or was that an annual release or something? It must have been pretty drat expensive either way.

That's the average size of weekly Jump, and any weekly comics magazine for that matter. I think they're about 800 yen brand new or something? Back issues are worth next to nothing and are usually sold at used book stores for like 100 yen or less.

They're usually printed in black and white on super low-grade-feeling paper so relative to their size, they're very cheap.

I guess it's lucky that Japan has a good recycling program. Does Jump have digital distribution applications like Marvel and DC have?

Hello everyone, first post in a while 'round these parts. Anyway, I've only recently got into the show, and I'm wondering if there's a good place to get all the episodes that have broken links in the OP. Any help is appreciated!

There's tons of episodes on YouTube if you don't mind the video quality getting mangled.

I just finished a bunch of episodes and after doing four episodes of platformers, I want to do something unconventional. Help me choose.


Paris-Dakar Rally Special - Arino tackles the most unusual racing game. Comes with GCCX at Tokyo Game Show and "To Catch a Catch Copy".


Ikki - This is a DVD special so it's challenge-only. Arino plays a beloved crap game by the makers of 53 Stations. The music WILL get stuck in your head and you will hate it.


Kirby's Dream Course - Arino learns the joy of golfing through Kirby. Watanabe returns for more friendly abuse. Comes with "Retro Read-Along."


Pilotwings - The second most recent episode! The first live stage challenge since Mighty Bomb Jack. Arino is determined to beat the last stage once and for all so that we may never have to see him play it again.


And yes, Princess Tomato is still being done by someone else and we still need an unbroken video file for Battletoads before we can release that one.

ETA: Voting's over; Paris-Dakar Rally wins.

Kirby's Dream Course

And a promise to someday have the episode where Yokio plays Kirby Super Star translated?

Evening, patrolmaaan.
Is the Pilotwings one following on from the 40th birthday live show?
If so I'd like to see that episode to see if Arino can finally conquer that game.

Paris-Dakar Rally Special looks interesting. I can't remember a good racing episode. Does Arino even have a good track record for those?

Why, yes, I do like Kirby games.

Seconding this. I can't remember watching any racing episode except the short little Super Mario Kart challenge.

Look at my face.
So I just recently started watching the show, and I can't decide which episodes are must sees, and which ones are just good. Can you guys recommend me which ones I should watch? I've seen Bomber Jack,BOMBER JACK LIVE , Ultraman, Tokimeki Memorial (favorite one), and Contra

EDIT: Oh also Kirby's Dream Course because that game would be great.

Looks like Paris-Dakar Rally Special is winning so I'll do that, then Kirby's Dream Course next. Thanks! I'll then do Ikki and Pilotwings Live Stage Challenge if I feel like it.
