Super Hang-On 3D is now on the eshop for 3DS, so if you ever wanted to live out your fantasy of being a rebel biker Cameraman, now is your chance

Is Super Hang-On the one where when you beat the game your driver is revealed to be an old guy with a beard smoking a pipe? That's basically the only thing I remember about that game.

- I'm saving about 100 games for when I'm old and retired. So for the time being, I'm going to do my best, take care of myself, and look forward to it.

Kan responds:

- Our company has about 1,500 games. We'll be waiting for you!

Looks like the Retro Game Master USA Facebook page is almost at 3000 likes. I think Arino is supposed to post a message when that happens.

Introducing...



The official website of SA-GCCX!

This is a project I've slowly been working away on but now's the time to make it public.



The website aims to solve a few problems. Firstly it creates an offsite avenue for the release of content which is always handy if there ever happens to be an issue with Something Awful or the forum is closed to non-members. I've also sought permission from Clover and VR-GCCX and their content will be hosted there too (they'll receive proper and full credit).

This will also make management easier. As you can see in the screenshot further down there's a fully up to date and easily searchable episode guide with links to the subbed content (nothing licensed). Each episode will also hopefully have a direct download, a torrent and an embed of the episode itself on its respective page.



Then there's discoverability. Each episode has been sorted into a category and attached to a developer and system. I've even gone through every episode and attached tags representing each segment that appears in it so if you want to see every episode that featured Famicom Manga Café then it's only a couple of clicks away. I've even written descriptions for every episode that describe the challenge and segments but purposefully kept it vague as not to spoil anything.



Plus there's a full search function, a schedule of upcoming events related to the show, and Random Stranger wrote a little about section for the group and the show itself. I should probably mention that zari-gani was the one who designed that awesome logo as well.

It's also worth mentioning that the entire website is responsive which, in case you haven't been keeping up with the latest web development trends, means that the site will automatically adjust its content to fit the size of the screen you're viewing it on. No more pinch to zoom.



So, why isn't it already live? Well, the fact I had the spare time to make the site in the first place probably speaks to my employment status which also speaks to my lack of funds.

If you'd like to see this website up as soon as possible and would like to donate to the cause then please PM me. Any funds received will solely be used for the registration of domains, hosting of the website or the episodes themselves and any ancillary costs related directly to the running of the site.

Here's some more screenshots to tide you over in the meantime.

And lastly, a gif showing how embedding will work:



EDIT: Edit episodes will automatically be tweeted by @SAGCCX and an RSS feed has been added as well.

Will there be an RSS feed so I can be sure I never miss a release? Not that I probably will since I have this thread bookmarked, but you know.

I haven't built one but I did register a twitter account that will automatically tweet when there is a new release.

An RSS feed would be nice. Unfortunately the formatting on torrent titles/episode file names isn't very good so you aren't able to create an RSS that will automatically detect and download new releases via nyaa, which is something I like to do.

Mister Chief

If there's enough of a demand I should be able to add an RSS feed. I just don't know how much use that would be for members here, seems more like something non-members would want.

I don't actually visit this thread all that often. I'd probably check it more regularly if there was an RSS feed telling me about every new release. Not to be too demanding, but a new releases feed that can be plugged into a torrent client would be ideal. I don't actually know what needs to be done on your end to make that work, though.

I love the look of the site, very clean :)

I would like an RSS feed just because it's one more thing I have beamed directly into my face that I don't have to use any effort to check for updates or whatever :v:

I get roughly 99.9% of my news through RSS and don't use Twitter. Having all news, announcements and releases delivered through a single service is something I value and I believe I'm not the only one who thinks so.

The page looks fantastic, btw.

vvv

If I subscribe to a new content provider it usually sends me the 10 most recent items.

Does that look right? Ignore the temp URLs and the lack of <link> tags for the torrents themselves.

It'll likely be the "Arino's Top 10" that aired on BS Sky Perfect a few months ago. If I recall correctly, the oldest episode was #116, Tower of Babylon.

If any of these episodes only have low quality raws available, this may be a good opportunity to record higher quality raws.

The RSS feed is up and running. I tested it in uTorrent but it seems to display the items in alphabetical order as opposed to date but I have no idea if that actually matters.

I don't think this was mentioned in this thread. I saw it in the VR-GCCX discussion on 4chan.



Apparently this was at the end of the Paris special. Are they saying that Arino will come to New York next year? That would be amazing!

Usually at the end of a trip episode, the King says where they'd like to go to next -- it's not an actual plan. For example, at the end of GCCX in USA, the King says "next time we're going to Africa".

Speaking of the Paris special, stay tuned...

Thanks to Mister Chief for that incredible website. That came out of nowhere and I was floored when I first saw a glimpse of it.

I just finished doing another thing for Gascoin Company. I hope it'll go public sooner than later, because I think you guys will like it.

I sent Gascoin Company some goonmade champagne-flavored candies from Raley's Confectionary as a Christmas gift (they say "thank you" on them), and they sent me a photo in return! If any of you have ordered from Raley's before (and if you haven't, you should), I thought you might get a kick out of this.

I like that they put Watanabe in a shot with food, good stuff.

I also like that you can see part of the wall of games in the background.
