That's not that mean? If he knows her that is. Telling younger friends "God, you're so old now!" jokingly on their birthday is pretty normal.

I just started watching earlier this year, I just finished Adventure Island so I have a while to catch up. I know they made NES games hard to stretch out the value, but jesus Hudson, 28 hours with the optional continues, for a game the length of Super Mario Bros is a BIT excessive.

Adventure Island is not 28 hours hard unless you're Arino. I beat it as a 7 year old. :v:

Adventure Island's difficulty mostly stems from late game deaths where you don't get weapons for a while.

It was one of the AD's that took 28 hours. Arino gave up on 7-1.

Hahah! Let me rephrase, though. I wasn't trying to sit there and do it at one sitting as a 7 year old either. I'm not sure how far I could get in it right now since I haven't played it in probably a decade or more, but I still remember a lot of it. It's a lot of memorization.

I can agree with that :v: but also, maybe games like Adventure Island are what gave me the patience to sit there and memorize entire games so... thanks, Hudson? :shobon:

Takahashi seems more consistent on camera. Maybe Emoto just gets nervous during shooting.

Having watched a bit further, may I suggest: Game Center CX - No Chance of Winning As An Eggplant?

Also, what's the GCCX Legend they mention at the end of Season 4? Is it one of the specials?

If it makes you feel better, her response says something like, "Thanks, Papa Arino! I'll become lovable oooooooold lady. Haha!"


Edit: For the title, I think I'd prefer something descriptive over an in-joke. Something like, "An old man who's not very good at video games."

I know, it was just funny that he crapped on someone's birthday. He's always mean to Sarina, the one and only Tamage guest star too.

I should program a bot that periodically tweets existentialist-sounding quotes from the show, like that one or "So hopeless, so early in the morning..."
