Also, after that segment aired, Nakayama and Toujima are now required by law to never come within 100 feet of a dinosaur school or museum with dinosaur fossils. :v:

I watched it but I'm working so I wasn't focused on it intently. Guess I'll watch it after work.

I didn't realize they took the video that far until I listened to the Daikatana catch copy again and heard "John Romero" and "bitch" being pronounced.

If I've never said it before, I'll say it again... You guys are loving amazing at what you do, especially with the April Fools videos. I can't wait to see what you guys do next year. :)

Rewatched the vid, saw the joke this time with bubble bobble and laughed pretty good.

So is there a link to previous april fools clips? Is this one of them?

That's from the Go By Train! episode, well minus the music. I believe the only April Fools things is today's clip and the Sugoi Squad Quest of Ki "translation". I think a post about Ero-Game Center CX was also part of an April Fools joke, but that was over 200 pages back and I don't care enough to check.

Nipponophile posted:

Well, I know some of you guys have been waiting on me to finish up work on the Arino/Downtown sketch I'm subbing, but I can finally break silence on one of the things that's been keeping me busy instead!

That's right! It's the English language debut of...


Ero-Game Center SEX!

The show follows the same format we're all familiar with, albeit with a perky new host:

Incidentally, the title she uses here is Shunin, the same one Arino held way back in season one.

And one or two... slight differences:


In this episode, Shina challenges an ero-game classic:



Naturally, she has the support of highly qualified ADs to assist her through the game:


But remember those differences I mentioned? Yeah...


That's right. Each hint or bad end costs our host an item of clothing.

Of course the setting would not be complete without a table full of snacks and cooling pads:


Shina manages an Arino-like stroke of bad luck by getting a game over before even reaching the title screen:


But, demonstrating Arino-like resilience, she bounces back to clear the prologue after a total of one hour spent. As reward, Shina receives her own official Ero-Game Center SEX name card:


What happens next? Where does the challenge go after this?



That's where YOU come in! Project SAEGCSEX is in need of translators, timers, typesetters, and quality checkers. Ideal candidates must be familiar with common Japanese sexual fetishes and slang, have the ability to focus on grammar and font selection despite the presence of boobs on screen, and possess an encyclopedic knowledge of hentai games.

There is currently no English language information available online about Ero-Game Center SEX, so this is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of the fandom. I'm hoping to have some wiki articles and episode guides up by the end of the month, and I'll undoubtedly need help maintaining them. I am confident that together we can make Something Awful the premier source of information for Ero-Game Center SEX on the internet. Please feel free to PM me or mail me at NipponophileSA at Gmail if you think you've got the right stuff.


I don't know about you guys, but it's still April 1st where I'm at.

No one ever contacted me to help with the project. :smith:

I agree, and I can only apologize. This is what happens when I try and bang out something quick without having others check over it. The AD's name actually transliterates to "Car-Navi", what we call GPS or SATNAV. I can't blame you for feeling gross, I feel pretty disgusted myself. That's a rank amateur mistake.

The Catch Copy special was hilarious, and thanks for taking the time to make it!

I finally just caught up to the thread after the deluge, and all I can say is that for some reason I couldn't stand the main host guy in that Arino interview. But then, I get the feeling I'd have trouble standing japanese television in general, with that one very happy exception.

Kudos to univbee on the American Catch Copy segment. He did a great job with the editing.

Speaking of Catch Copy and Takeda, Producer Kan tweeted "Now that April Fools is over, I can announce that Miss Takeda will be returning as the arcade trip narrator in Season 17!" Hooray!

Aaand speaking of Kan, remember this?:

zari-gani posted:

If you're wondering where this info is from, it's from the Game Center CX Museum event back in March 2008 (as seen in the Sonic the Hedgehog episode). They answered questions from the audience on stage. I got a brief transcript from it here. Here's my translation:
[...]
"The worst AD"

Kan: "Tsuruoka. The accident on Floor 100 during the live show... it was horrifying."
Abe: "Yamada. He fails as a human being." (note: Yamada was an AD for just Season 0, Episode 1. Wonder what happened there.)
Fujimoto: "Tsuruoka. He fell asleep during Floor 98 of the Quest of Ki challenge. Everyone, please go home and check your tapes."
Nakauchi: "Same. Tsuruoka. I saw Toujima angry for the first time ever."
Toujima: "Tsuruoka. He sleeps 20 hours a day. And yet he always says he's sleepy..."

Apparently Kan said at the DVD vol. 1 launch event that Yamada left after he and Yamada had a fight (Kan and Yamada, not Abe).
