Isn't there a character in the Yakuza games who looks a lot like Tanii?

I dunno about Tanii, but they have Inoue.

Tanii, the sheriff with the Yakuza in his back pocket. Kibe, a retired lawman and father of 6 with a target on his back. And Toujima, the one man who can help Abe. This summer, in the ultimate Cameraman Story, Scoldboy: Visitor CX. I'm sorry, the title has to be Takashi no Arino no Chousenjou (Takashi's Arino's Challenge).

 Sorry, this isn't an episode. It's a Game Center CX Bonus Video. You've seen the pictures but now you can see it for yourself. We've got, and translated, special footage of Arino's wedding (at least the parts they showed on television). This is a really short video, only about three minutes long. It also came from a flash video source so the picture quality isn't as solid as it could be. Still, consider this another DVD extra for your GCCX collections. Bringing this extra bonus to you is zari-gani, and I mean that in every way. She's the one who tracked it down, arranged the video, and of course made the translation.

Before I started watching GCCX, I genuinely thought that with enough practice and perseverance anyone could become good at anything. Even if one had no natural talent whatsoever, I figured most people could "brute force" a talent. Arino has shown me how terribly wrong I was. I legitimately have no idea how he can continue to play the same game (and also video games in general) over and over again and not show any signs of improvement. On another note, thanks again SAGCCX team. You lot are totally amazing and I really wish there was some way we could support you. In lieu of that, I pre-ordered the Discotek DVD from Amazon. Even though it's the incorrect region disc, on a format I stopped caring about years ago and is costing me $73 of my countries funny money to get shipped here.  I really hope it sells well and there is a chance more episodes get an official English release. e: That wedding video is weird and creepy.

Is that a thing on Japanese TV? A five minute movie full of romance and drama when some minor celebrity gets married?

Thanks for the wedding video, I think it's pretty funny to see the difference between Arino's description of the "three days of Arino" and the dramatization. I couldnt help but feel like he was fighting off cracking up the whole time.

To elaborate, this is a tiny snippet of an hour-long (two hours, if you count in the other part) MetchaIke special about Arino's actual wedding (Arino is a regular cast member on MetchaIke). They play it at the beginning before the actual reception and announce that they actually did get married. And no, this isn't a Japanese TV thing, it's just MetchaIke having some fun. I didn't want to translate the entire thing because it's mostly speeches from his colleagues, some funny and some heartwarming, and then at the very end Arino is thrown into a ring with a wrestler where he proceeds to get clotheslined. zari-gani fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Aug 19, 2012 |

If zai-gani translated every weird thing Arino has ever been in then we'd never get another episode of GCCX again.

I honestly still haven't adjusted to Arino just cracking wise at whatever - it's so... western. I'm used to japanese Decorum In All Things. Maybe comedians are given more leeway in the same way ours usually are.

I wouldn't blame you for not translating the entire 2 hour special of Arino's wedding. It's just not going to have as much viewers as an new GCCX episode. (Unless the entire second part was a full on batsu game.)

Funniest Arino moment as far as I am concerned is when he breaks his own mold a bit in the 24-hour Lemmings episode (19:40-20:00, video should start there): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd2yiqghI8c&t=1180s

It's always hilarious when it seems like Arino is actually getting angry, like that episode where he had the pig stress toy.

New Super Mario Brothers Wii, on the other hand, sold enough copies to stretch from the earth to the moon if you laid them from end to end. (Not really but it was a monster hit).

Isn't this pretty much a tautology by now? 3D games are harder than 2D games, they have literally 50% more dimensions to orient your character in. 3D games aren't rocket science to 2D gaming's finger-painting or anything, but they are definitely harder and require far more complicated control schemes.

I actually think the 3d mario games are on the higher end of the difficulty spectrum period. Zelda games too, to a lesser extent. Camera manipulation is _not_ a friendly or natural skill to learn with a pair of analog sticks for a new player. And that's ignoring manipulating it while dealing with crazy bullshit platforming that would be hard in 2d already.

Him wrestling Arino is a running joke in MetchaIke I think. I actually just learned how to make animated gifs from video files so I made this: Arino being manhandled on his wedding day And a couple of GCCX ones: I AM TOJIMA How are they watching this?

I must have watched every episode you guys have translated and I'd like to give a heartfelt thanks for your hard work. Seriously, you all are doing an excellent job and this show brightens my day whenever a new one is posted. How is the Dragon Ball episode? Arino seems like a huge Dragon Ball nerd and that game is both awful and hard as balls so I would think that episode would be a real winner.

For me at least it has more to do with how much of the game he doesn't play. The AD clears 3 (4 if you count the Bottom of the Well) dungeons for him due to time restraints. These are all as adult Link. It's otherwise an okay challenge if a bit dull at times thanks in no small part to the dungeons he does tackle (Water and Shadow Temple).

As the counter point I kind of liked it. Not my favorite but I generally like it when Arino has to suffer through a godawful game that no human should have ever played.

I got around to watching the SMW episodes, and yeah I find it kind of frustrating to watch someone be that bad at SMW. The whole time, half of me was cheering for him, and the other half of me was going "Jesus dude, I beat this game when I was 9 it's not that hard!"
