I remember a video of someone tying a GCN to the back of their truck and dragging it through a gravel road for a good while, then taking it home and booting up Sonic Adventure 2 Battle with no issues.

A friend of mine had the ground floor of his house gutted by the 2011 tsunami, including his Famicom and Super Famicom. He and I opened them up, sprayed them with a hose, cleaned the boards off, then let them dry. Anyone want to bet if they still worked?

univbee posted:"fakku" is present in the odd thing. It was, of course, used prolificly in the dubbed version of the South Park movie, but I have seen it in Japanese-made things too, even the trailer to Visitor Q (which is mostly stickmen because basically none of the movie is acceptable viewing to general audiences) credits one character as "fazaafakkaa" (Fatherfucker, something the character does two minutes into the movie). Man, I love Visitor Q and I had never bothered looking up the trailer before. Thanks for that!  Love is a weird term to use here I mean I love it but it's not a film I'd recommend to many people, heh.

I was at a house where a Sega Dreamcast wasn't so lucky, and a Famicom and some games are part of a museum exhibit that uses actual tsunami debris.

I'll do a more proper report of event later (I might draw it as a comic actually) but I just wanted to say Watanabe is super friendly and outgoing and unafraid of physical affection. She'd walk with Inoue arm-in-arm and they aren't even a couple (I never see PDA even amongst couples here). She would fit right in with Americans I think. I told her she's popular amongst fans here and that people call her cute and that made her happy. Also I taught her what tacos and burritos are and she is now intrigued.

Just watched my first episode of this, CastleVania 3 (ep 38), epic stuff! Very entertaining, I'm sold on this. Gonna check out more episodes, for starters some games I'm interested in seeing him do (Ninja Gaiden 2 etc), but if anybody has fav episodes I'd be interested! (And if there's a page in this mega thread which already has stuff like that, point me there if you can, thanks) Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Dec 20, 2016 |

Episodes that aren't good are the exception rather than the rule, so it's hard to go wrong with almost any of them. Because of that I tend to recommend just watching them in order. But Battletoads is very good since it's so positive, and Derby Stallion is one of my personal favorites despite the game seeming like an uninteresting choice.

Seconding watching them in order, they do a lot of callbacks to incidental things that happened in previous episodes, so it's good to build up the background for that.

I usually recommend starting with episodes that feature games you personally like. After you've seen some, then you can start watching in order. That said, my personal favourite episodes: - Battletoads (132 & 133) - I think this is on most peoples' Top 5 all-time lists - Paris-Dakar Rally Special (107) - if you want to see a really strange game - Quiz : The feudal lords' ambition (25) - if you want to see great staff interaction - Ninja Gaiden (29, a DVD episode) - if you want to see some epic struggles - Tokimeki memorial (13) - if you want to hear Arino's tips on dating But honestly I echo that at worst a GCCX episode might be a bit mediocre. The early episodes are translated by TV-Nihon and their translations might not be up to same standards that SA Team has later on. But you can still enjoy them just fine. Also I really envy anyone who gets to see all of these episodes for the first time. TeaJay fucked around with this message at 12:17 on Dec 20, 2016 |

Watching in order is best in my opinion, but any episode with a game you know and have played is usually great. Arino keeping your interest as he does poorly at a game you owned as a kid is one helluva backdoor to your heart. asymmetrical posted:Yay someone who doesn't hate the work we do!

The general recommendation is to just go with what you're interested in and you'll likely be entertained and then when you're hooked you can watch them all in order. Some of the best episodes are the ones about the most obscure stuff, though. The "bad episodes" off the top of my head are Princess Tomato and Kid Kool. But if you want a single episode with some history behind it, there's the USA Trip. The special was shot about six months after we started translating and about three months after there was a pretty bad dubbed English version of a few episodes (don't worry, the goon who translated most of these episodes redid the subtitles on the DVD release). The ending sets off a chain of events whose consequences can be read on this very page of the thread.

Link to the Past is the only bad one I can remember. There's just too much content in that game and they blow through really quickly. But I really enjoy Contra. That's a great Inoko MAX moment.

Ocarina of Time is even worse in that regard, especially because they let him play up to the bit he was most looking forward to, break for time, then, 'in the interests of time', play through that bit while he's gone.
