I wonder if there's any chance of seeing Arino challenge the original Karateka?

That's a pity. I was hoping someone in Mechner's camp might have reached out in order to cross-promote the new Karateka. I'd have enjoyed seeing Arino die within 5 seconds by walking backwards off the first stage.

I know that feelin'. Deep in the desert after T-N stopped releasing subbed episodes, I went to an Asian grocery and bought 4 or 5 different types of dried squid.

There's a fan translation project, but last I heard it was stalled.

Because it destracts me from the fact that reaching the one hour mark means I'm half finished, here's a picture of the Vampire who's a Prosecutor who Prosecutes Vampires:



Oh! Hey!

The first ep of Vampire Prosecutor includes a hilarious scene where instead of filming a fight in slo-mo, they had Vampire Prosecutor just hit a dude in the face very slowly.

Just mashing that fist all in there.

ETA: oh god the ep ends with a club scene where, bless them, they picked some "club sounding" music but they English lyrics are someone talking about Call of Duty and being "a loving camper." :3:

So, what time are we all going to go on Twitter to simultaneously wish Arino a happy birthday tomorrow?

Is his birthday the 24th, or the 25th? If it's the 24th, we better do it in the next 11 hours.

The Kacho's birthday is 2/25. How about noon Tokyo time? Noon 2/25 in Tokyo would be 7PM PST/10PM EST on Sunday 2/24.

I hate to be That Girl, or stir up an argument, but... do y'all need any extra proof-readers? Is that the sort of thing non-Japanese speaking goons can help with? Genuine question, because I bet there are lots of us who would love to help somehow and goons are just the type of anal-retentive spergs who can sniff out a typo at 50 paces.

I know Random Stranger said "I kick myself when I see [typos] afterward" and I don't like the thought of RS self-injuring.

(E: I mention this because the River King giveaway included "the Chief's singed business card." I got a mental image, which I liked, of Arino on a desert island trying to start a fire with his business cards, frustrated because they just turn brown around the edges.)

The King is an OUYA fan. Typical.

In fact it's a clever slam on the OUYA highlighting that you can't use two of the buttons because of the shoddy way the aluminium faceplate doesn't line up.

Also as you read it, your OUYA silently performs a $5 IAP for each letter of the King's message.

That troll message made me curious about something, has there been an instance on the show where Arino was genuinely angry about something? ... Maybe he's just too amiable to approach anywhere near "rage" as you so often see on the internet? Maybe he's just too old (maturity is questionable) for that poo poo? I wonder what kind of game it would take to bring out something like that in him?

I recall that for one episode they gave Arino a golden pig toy to throw if he got stressed and at one point I was surprised at how hard he threw it against the table. Nothing else comes to mind, though.
