Do modern /v/oomers like gamecenter CX or did that die in 2016?
>>748999613Newfags don't even know who Arino is.You have to check if the /vr/ thread is up.
>>748999613it's dead
>>748999613Don't think I've seen anything past season 17. The 24 hour Lemmings challenge is still peak GAME SENTA SHE EKS
>>748999613elections and covid killed the /v/ you're looking for. This is /pol2/ now.
>>748999613I like the game center trip where he hooks the metal shelf in the claw machine and they put up a sign saying not to do that before he even left.
>>748999613Marchen Maze was subbedThe ritual was complete
>>749002628try gamergate desu
>>749000186There's a thread up. Hagane episode is on Thursday.https://otn.fujitv.co.jp/gamecenter/index.htmlhttps://pastebin.com/u/GCCXGeneral
Whenever someone uses an "-oomer" word in their post, I always pass it off as the lowest form of conversation.
>>749004190It's just another >I'm a newfag, don't take what I say seriouslytell.
>>749002442>The 24 hour Lemmings challengeAre you watching that at the designated stream too right now? I really like it but I think it's carried a lot by a skits that came out of it. The best moment is when Arino got so tired and delirious by the afternoon he's layering like 10 cooling pads all over himself just to stay awake. But this is like a couple of hours out of the entire 24 that's good. A lot of it is just Arino getting stuck and a lot of the time for stupid reasons.
>>749004446
>>748999613I recently got into it, finishing up the 3rd season right now. I like to play the games with him and see if I can beat them too.
>>748999613I haven't watched this in like 5 years, is it still going?
>>749005012Yes. Most recent episode was second part of Starfox 64 on 25.9.
>>748999613GCCX blew up in America because of /v/.
>>749005302Old /v/. Modern /v/ and 4chan are culturally irrelevant. Sharty is more culturally relevant than we are
>>749005409>Sharty is more culturally relevant than we areThere is literally a fucking active thread up right now with a basedjak literally ripped from their booru.How the fuck did they do it? All of this from a splinter site that only appeared 6 years ago? I mean, technically it could be considered rightful 4chan clay since all of it stems from /qa/, but I don't even think most people know that now.
>>749005409whatever that is
>>749005186>Took him two episodes to clear SF64kek
>>749004446Still comfy to watch even if it's just uncut arino gameplay.
>>749005595At least he did beat "the Dark Souls of platformers" in 2 episodes as well.
>>748999613I haven't been keeping up as I've not kept up with who's translating/encoding episodes but his shit's still hilarious to me.I even got to visit the Arcade he visited with the Big Boss snake on the top level, very cool.>mfw finding the thread
>>749005829>the Dark Souls of platformersCrash Bandicoot 4? If both Dark Souls and Crash 4 can be described as horrendous slop, then yes.
I haven't been able to keep up with it after the whole translation niggery.
>>749006084No, the original PS1 Crash 1.
>>749006161Crash 1 is not hard.
I don't really watch him but it's weird to think he's been doing the show for so long that games released when it started airing are now themselves considered retro and he's playing them, same for current AVGN reviewing GameCube games and stuff.
>>749006102What's up with the forced racism?
>i hate donald trump!
>Election tourist getting filtered by a joke about playing cards
>>748999613not the newer stuff, doesn't feel the same
>>749005595Number of episodes doesn't always denote how long a challenge is.Like how Battletoads, F-zero and Märchen Maze were challenged in a single day each, but because they got so much usable footage from them, they just made them 2 parters.Besides He beat the easy route by mid day.
>>749008541The current directors like to play around too much with gimmicks these days. Some AD has to walk on doing some kind of skit. They can't just walk on with a folding chair anymore and say "Ok I'm here to help you" while Arino messes with them. And yes, they did do some skits in the past but it wasn't every single episode. These days there is always someone in an outfit cosplaying some stupid shit.
I grew up and realized airno was never funny, the narration is what made the show great, arino is just boring, his jokes are boring and the way he treats the staff is just awful.
>>748999613he sucks at games. the commentary is too tame. the variety of games he plays is very limited. sometimes the narration skips over higher-difficulty parts of the game. just overall uninteresting
>>749010638Oh fuck off, I liked the AD who did cosplay for everything, especially when they were all done well on a cheap budget.
>>749004330Why are they using composite? That TV clearly has svideo and some other stuff they could be using.In more than one episode arino got stuck in a game because the image was so crap he couldn't read the text on the screen.
>>749011343
>>749011343To frustrate the Kacho.
>>748999613I haven't watched it regularly since the Covid hysteria. May grab a torrent batch if there's one floating around.
>>749011532if you find one lemme know, I have wanted to bingewatch it for a while
>>749011532>>749011668It's really not a hard one to findhttps://nyaa.si/view/2083816
I grew tired of it after a whileIt became too formulaic for me and Arino is a bad comedian
>>749011343>why arent they using anti-soul wires
>>749011786unsure why I didnt think to check nyaa, guess I am retardedthank you!
I don't like the newer seasons, but i still regularly go back and watch episodes of the older seasons. It's ultra comfy
>>749010702>the way he treats the staff is just awfulIf a joke he says is unfunny and if his teasing feels forced, there is a 99% chance it's a joke Kibe wrote and forced him to say.
>>749011786I will watch a quiz episode in your honor.
>>749011786>>749011827Speaking of nyaa, is it just on my side or is it down like 95% of the time these days? I just get a 504 bad gateway error, and just very rarely it works
>>749011890nah, i know japanese so i went and watched some of his skits. he is just not that good of a comedian..
>>749011940Definitely you.
>>749011532>>749011786Checked my old archive. 110gb from 2017 sometime. Been quite a while.
>>749011940They keep changing domains. You just need to keep up with whatever the new .whatever is.
>>749011976Have you compared him to comedians that do his style of "2 dudes talking back and forth" comedy? I know there is an actual term for that kind of comedy I just didn't feel like looking it up.
>>749012023It's Manzai, and it's not for everyone
did have the gccx kachou game 1 on the dsit was a collection of vaguely good fodder games you'd play 5~ times a day and had dailies. can't remember what you got for doing everything, if anything,they made a 2nd but i wasn't too into itbinged kacho stuff hard 12~ years ago, tried three random (newer than that) episodes since then and haven't made it past 15 minutes.i liked when he visited the little stores, ate dried squid on a stick, and wore the forehead cooler
>that time Arino and his partner worked together with Matsumoto and HamadaIt's not that strange since they are all comedians, but always felt like a strange meeting of worlds to mehttps://www.dailymotion.com/video/k2uQdtRV7iKDSXsRXv7
I miss when /v/ had gaki and gccx threads.People today are miserable fucks.
>>749011940your ISP might be blocking it, mine did for a while
>>749012192I still go back to the good old times at least once a year on a drinking binging all by myself, i pretend you guys are there with me as well watching it
>donkey kong country 1>donkey kong country 2>???????Will he ever do it?
>>749012268With you in spirit, brother
>>749012268There used to be streams on twitch for it that people watched, but NNS always took them down.
>>749012442GCCX still gets streamed but I won't say where because it gets taken down occasionally. It's not hard to find though.
>>749012192>People today are miserable fucks.10 years old newfags being groomed to hate everything and feel sorry for themselves and going full crab bucket will do that.I do wonder why Arino never appeared on the No Laughing New Years Batsu, but he does his own New Years event and IIRC, there's some rule that you can't be on two shows that broadcast at the same time, or something like that.It's like how they had that celebrity guest star at the start with them on the bus for the detective batsu, but he gets dragged away early.
>>749012709I do read that contracts and agencies are a lot more anal in Nipponland.Also, good point about people being inculcated to hate everything and then want everyone else to join them.
>>749012109I'm super annoyed no one has translated the 1+2 remake. Most of it is already translated. Just extract the scripts from the DS games and put the damn text in. There is only one new game to translate and it doesn't have that much dialog.
old /v/ is gone
>>749012876That's a good point, since Arino and Gaki belong to rival agencies.If you want some uplifting news, Kan went to Chicago last spring to visit the largest Arcade in the US and met some GCCX fans there since he gave a week heads up for it, even though it was mid day during a weekday, so there is a chance the show comes back to America.https://fxtwitter.com/i/status/2057920364030628351>>749013107Probably clinging to hope that it gets an official release still along with not want to encourage piracy. Becuase the current GCCX fansubbing group tracks which countries download their stuff and a lot of them are from Japan. This is why they not only avoid subbing more recent DVD challenge, but no one who imports them uploads them either.
>>749013301>Because the current GCCX fansubbing group tracks which countries download their stuff and a lot of them are from Japan.I hope they realize part of this is because the Japanese economy is going to shit. Even the Japanese who are usually morally against pirating on top of their strict laws are running to piracy because they don't have the money to waste on dvd box sets. I understand supporting the show but I think the people downloading the episodes are people who can't buy the dvds. It's not going to result in more sales either way.
>>749013301They should just release it with subtitles this time, instead of the awful fucking narrator they did last time. But most Americans are deadly afraid and incapable of reading subtitles so that's not happeningAlso they cut away the comfy arcade segments and all that as well, but as far as i know they are not on the official dvd's anyway because of rights reasons so i guess that's just how it is
All this show made me realize is how incredibly dirty everything is in Japan. Their shops have, like, mud floors, and everything's caked in a film of filth. It's like the nukes dropped last week.
>>749013593You're completely missing how that's the charm of it. All the big stores tourists run to clean and spotless. They look for the weird mom and pop shops where the guy running the place has weird misspelled signs all over the place, garbage on the floor, and has a giant pot of oden boiling in the back for some reason and you can get a cup of it for 100 yen.
>>749012709>I do wonder why Arino never appeared on the No Laughing New Years BatsuNot Yoshimoto.
>>749013669No it's horrible, all these old people trying to contribute to society but really just providing a service that a vending machine could do better. What's going to happen with all these useless fucking candy shops when they all die in 15 years? I don't think Takashi age 24 wants to inherit and run it for the next 70 years.
>His daughters are now 18 and 19 years oldThe episode where he was raising his anime daughter as preperation was goated
>>749013753Anon, most of the old candy shops on the show have already shut down.
>>749012268i got high on acid once and watched the nurse batsu and the scene where matsumoto was describing that fucked up frozen treat he got from hamada when they were kids was so messed up i had to turn it off
>>749013753As the other Anon has stated they are mostly shut down, but also they were mostly just ran out of the back of their literal homes. So they will likley just renovate them to be regular homes again. Most candy shops were just a retirement thing for old people to do, not something they did for their whole lives
>>749013574>but as far as i know they are not on the official dvd's anyway because of rights reasons so i guess that's just how it isYou're correct, the DVDs are a licensing shitshow which is why they normally only include Arino's challenge. Shit, even getting the licenses for games they already played for the DVDs is a pain. Like we only got actraiser on DVD recently and that was a super early challenge.
>>749012192It's at the point where I watch or play something I love and I make a point of never bringing it up here because people just bring me down. There are no fandoms anymore, just hatedoms.
>>749013924>oh no shitposting
Sorry guys, this secret is just for me
>>749013787I like when he tells stories about his family.>had to take his wife and daughters around on his time off just to play Pokemon Go>his daughters and wife hang out together watch TV dramas while he sits in a separate room playing video games all the time>he stole his wife's birthday present because he wanted to play Mario on his 3DSIt's refreshing to see someone who's open to talking about his home life when most Japanese celebrities won't ever do that because it's improper or something.
Found an arino figure in akiba a couple of years back. Probably one of the coolest things i found when i was there. Now i just need a razor ramon hard gay, rapeface woody and billy herrington figures and my set will be complete!
>>749014134That's the figma right? I miss the original figure they made before that one. It was funnier.
>>749013787No. That's not possible. We can't be that far into the future yet.
>>749014115>Tells his daughter on her first day of school "Have fun and make lots of friends!", she's super excited.>When she comes home from school he asks "Did you make a lot of friends?" and she screams "NO! I HATE SCHOOL!"Cute and sad at the same time.
Incredible that they've never done a skit better than GAYme Center after all these years.
>>749014115>>749014248It's also funny how he has to brag all the time about how his wife likes video games and always has to bring that up when other people on the show talk about who they are dating.>Well does she like video games!?>No...>What the heck!?
>>7489996132008 was the last good year
>>748999613>Big fan about 16 years ago>Couldn't wait for new translations to watch on WiiMC>Tune in again recently >He's really mean to the ADs, he's not even funny anymore, he's just a curmudgeonNot sure if it was always shit or became so, but it's sad.
>>749005474>but I don't even think most people know that now.They do, they just ignore it because no one wants to be associated with them, not even 4chan.
>>749014403>He's really mean to the ADs, he's not even funny anymore, he's just a curmudgeonI don't see it.
>>748999613I really liked Gamecenter CX, but I dropped off about the same time there was some massive drama around the rightsholders, DVDs, and fansubs. I don't even remember the drama all that well.That probably was around 15 years ago, maybe longer, it's all a blurFeel like I'd rather keep it as fond memories though, it's probably not as good as it was now, and maybe the older stuff isn't even that good anymore.
>>749014443I'm glad, maybe it's just me then, maybe I grew out of it.GCCX was a really comfy show when I was a neet, maybe it just gives me """the ick""" as an adult with limited time.I'll try watching an old episode today and find out for sure.
>>749014403He doesn't tease them or mess with them nearly as much as he did in the older episodes.
>>748999613this was cring but funny 16 years ago, now its plain cringe non ironically
>>749014541>this is what happens to someone when they get a job, all the joy and life is sucked out of themSad!but no, the newer seasons aren't anywhere near as good as the old ones
>>749014619>he thinks it was some ironic joke that we cringe watchedGet the fuck out of here monkey
The show got too corporate and soulless.
>>749014626Not so much that all the joy is sucked out, I just got too busy to enjoy sitting still.>2010 - 2012>Neet after university, not really trying desu>Playing private server wow and browsing 4chan>Watch game center and torrented animes at night on my hacked Wii>Living on basic ingredients, will walk across town to a different supermarket to save 40p on a cabbage>Making a little money here and there, cash in hand, but mostly surviving on government gibs>2026>Working full time>Bought land in cash last year and building a cottage on it for comfy weekend retreat from the city>Lot of fucking work digging trenches for utility lines by hand, because I'm retarded and want to do every job myself as far as possible>Gym 3 nights a week>Studying for a certification I always wanted to get, that will open up some more options>Watch game center out of nostalgia, feel impatient and irritated with the pace, feel bad for the staffLike I say, willing to believe it's just me that changed, I don't have the patience I used to when nobody cared where I was, least of all me
Arino himself admits that let's plays and streamers made him completely obsolete as a concept. I can't deny that anyone can do what Arino does.
>>749014619fag
>>749014298They did a DVD special where arino watched it and interrogated everyone involved
>>749014989
>>749015024
I don't know if anyone cares but it's been ages since they let Arino just walk around TGS and look at all the booths. Usually he's too busy hosting the awards or sitting around gccx's merch booth taking pictures. They uploaded part 1 of his walk around playing games just recently:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnV6PJ541mk
>>749015064Thank you.Damn, the auto-translate has gotten really good. I don't think we need subbers anymore. Which is good, the GCCX subbers were a miserable bunch of fucks.
What the fuck did they do to make you this butthurt?
Damn, he's 54 but he looks more like he's in his 70s. I know people age and it's been a long time and it's okay, but he has aged extremely rapidly for his age hasn't he? Is this what being a gamer does to you? Or is it all the squid he eats
>>749014541>>749014894Same here desu. I have fond memories of being a useless bachelor student watching a bunch of episodes on days where I had, like, one morning lecture to attend. But these days there's always so much shit to do even on the weekends.
>>749003495As well as my interest on watching the show altogetherritualposters should get their shit kicked in all the time, not ultimately rewarded for their continued retardation
