13/f/cali posted:Also I've not seen Top Gear but whether or not the analogy is spot on I like the idea of getting exposure for it by comparing it to a popular show. It's not too much like Top Gear, but there's no other show I could think of that's closer to what GCCX is.

Mercury Crusader posted:Brian Ashcraft, Senior Contributing Editor for Kotaku, the blog about Gamer Culture (tm), writes a lot of articles about how much he loves Japan and their high school girls, Japan and their little girl anime character figurines, Japan and their cosplayers that he wants to oogle, etc. In fact, if you Google the name "Brian Ashcraft" this happens: Yeah, there's some stupid poo poo written on Kotaku (why's it because called Kotak?) but I guess since I don't really read many of the articles and just use it as a general game news site it's decent enough to get me the information with a clean layout. Anyway, gently caress it, I'm glad they're rights are going up for GCCX.

Paper Lion posted:It'll have to do! I forget the context on that face and if him actively making it would be a better gif avatar but chances are that's as good as it gets. Thanks a ton! I released it's not quite centered, if you want I'll center it better and/or resize it. Obeast posted:Pretty much. As Kan would say, it's a cruel system. Brutal. I don't know if he's going to make it through since this is the case. It's about 5 in the morning in CA, I'm assuming this is going to wrap up sometime soon? I'd hate to miss some of it.

I'll be sleeping through the end of it.Paper Lion posted:Actually, if it's not too much trouble maybe centering it would be good...though again, if you think it would look better as a gif later then I might wait on it till a gif can be made. I forget if just the face is funny or if him making the face was just as good Recentering it will be easy enough, so you can hold onto it if no one makes the .gif.

It's a shame they picked such a horrible and repetitive game for this. I'm skipping through all of the gameplay parts and just checking for major sections and watching an attempt or two every 10 minutes. And watching any of the side stuff they're doing. What a bad game.

Son Ryo posted:You didn't watch the Steel Battalion challenge? This episode had me scouring eBay for a week trying to win this god drat game (and it's controller) and I don't even have an Xbox. Didn't go higher than $150 but the auctions always did, people will pay a lot for it and it makes me sad since I'll probably never play it.

Nipponophile posted:The game retailed for $200 when it was still in print, and it was a fairly small run, so you shouldn't expect to find it dirt cheap anywhere. I paid something like $230 for my copy. On the plus side, if you do pick one up, you should be able to get an Xbox for pretty cheap these days. Please tell me the game is as glorious to play as it looks.

I sold my copy on Ebay a few years ago for about $80 shipped because I needed the cash and that was the going price at the moment. drat that was a steal for whomever bought it; I have to pick this up and experience it first hand one of these days. I wish that controller had more than that single use though. Oh well.

Wandering Knitter posted:I showed my brother Game Center CX and he didn't like it at all. His only comment was "I can't watch this! He's so BAD at these games!" I can't blame him, a lot of the times it's a tad frustrating watching Arino never learn and make some really dumb mistakes. It's great seeing him persevere, but I find myself asking "Really? You really hosed that up right now?" when I watch.

Amazon usually says something about it in the item description but I don't see anything. My OCD likes everything to be linked to Steam. perianwyr posted:And now when I hear that, all I can hear is MC Chris rapping about getting high on cough syrup. Hahah, this owns, the 'Tussin'!

At the same time, little girls love them and want to be like them. I'm going to vomit. What the gently caress is this poo poo.

Why is this poo poo what people talk about and not real Japanese bands like Boris or Polysics or YMO or Boredoms or Potshot etc etc etc Because people aren't listening to AKB48 for the music. Actually, I have a friend on Facebook who does, but she's a complete sperg for the band and all things Japanese.

Even in Japan, they can't release a lot of stuff on DVD due to legal reasons. That's a drat shame. I always liked the trip reports.

the least weasel posted:Just got around to watching this but I was wondering if there's a plan to translate the actual game segments as well or will you only do the birthday stuff? I thought the game looked pretty interesting. It's really not; Pilotwings is a horrible game and just incredibly tedious. There's really no highlights of his play (and I watched most of the marathon) because it's hard for him (or anyone really) to judge his height from the ground and he constantly has to restart and redo challenges due to the stupid way in which the game progresses. I honestly would say it's the most boring game he's played.
