>DQ2Either they will have to edit the holy hell out of it, or make it a 3-parter or something. DQ2 is much longer than DQ1, and a hell of a lot harder too.
>>10834831>2 months of Dragon Quest episodes
On the topic of JRPGs, I'm playing Chrono Trigger atm and thought it would have made a good two parter for GCCX. Kind of surprised he's never played it.I need to get back to watching some eps of this, might knock over a season when I finish what i'm watching currently.What's your favourite season, anons?
>>10834840>2 months of Dragon Quest episodesThat sounds awesome
>>10834831>>10834840honestly thatd be cool. DQ1 was a boring episode but i found it extremely comfy and enjoyable.
>>10835046>>10834967>>10834840>2-3 boring eps for months time is um, actually good?
>>10834829>https://pastebin.com/u/GCCXGeneralis this a bot?
>>10835865OP's greentext is from it. Good to link it in the OP because somebody always asks something that it answers.
How old where you when you discovered that the cameraman in the Resident Evil DVD special was telling the truth?
>>10836439Oh? Remind me of what he was talking about again?
Marchen Maze Subs when?
>>10834831>>10834967They could have picked literally anything else. Pikmin is a game they're most certainly going to do at some point, and it's not the best game ever, or the best challenge possible, but it's better than DQ2.
>DQ2In b4 they just give him a password with maxed out characters and cope about it
>>10838991The only time they did that was when he soft locked himself in saint seiya
Oddball game wishlist:>Incredible Crisis>Gomola Speed>Lifeline>Simple 1500 Vol. 53: The Helicopter>Kero Kero King
>>10838986>PikminThey'd be setting up Arino to fail because it takes 3 hours if you know what you're doing, and there's the strict in game time limit.
The Um Jammer Lammy episode where Arino and the AD are humming the guitar parts for 3 hours during that tree cutting level is the hardest I’ve ever laughed at this show, they both sounded deaf. Any other funny moments that stand out?
>>10838947Never, not even that good of an episode so stop asking. Just learn moon at this point.
Dungeon Explorer bros... when we getting our time to shine?
>>10840198Why isn't it a good episode?
>>10834759Bros did DQ1 get subbed?Also I wanna see arino play a Sim racer, the densha de go ep with the little throttle stick was fun to watch
>>10840198Why learn moon? The show was nice enough to translate that line for us because it's super important.
>>10840710DQ1s been subbed for a while now
>>10836945About the place where they filmed the starting FMV, idk if the rest of the stuff he said was true (like him working for the company that did it) but he said where they filmed it years before the actors confirmed it
I got up to season 20, I can't believe it took them 20 seasons to come up with the idea of a trivia show based on retro games but it's pretty good, wish more episodes of this season were translated just to see this show desu
>>10841664Damn, he looked so young back then.
Oh shit...
is there a way to stream this aside from twitch? downloading them is too much because they are too big for me. i found some on bilibili but they are incomplete, there are no newly subbed episodes there.
>>10842892You can't torrent them?
>>10842905you can stream torrents?
>>10842909If you download them first
>>10842845So what's the secret?
>>10842912that's what i want to avoid. I have limited storage and download -> watch -> delete seems to be redundant.
>>10842918Sorry anon, it wouldn't be right of me to spoil it...you'll just have to watch the Ikki episode to find out...
>>10842931Although if you don't feel like watching a whole episode to find out...I guess as long as I spoiler it...
>>10842892Is there a reason why Twitch is no good? I mean I know there are many reasons it sucks, but for watching GCCX specifically?
>>10840290It has been a while since I watched it, but it just wasn't memorable aside from the "I hate trump!" bit. There's better episodes that haven't been translated yet is what I'm saying. >>10840721Learn moon so you don't have to rely on someone to sub for you. They're so far behind I imagine the show will end before the subbers catch up. Speaking of which, is there no raw release of Super Pinch Out!!! yet? Haven't been able to find it and not in the pastebin.
>>10842968>He thinks Arino yelling 'I Hate Trump' is the only memorial part of the Märchen Maze challenge.
>>10842986Okay, so besides the finale of Quiz Famionare, remind me what is exciting about the episode?
>>10838986>it's better than DQ2You're not the target audience, nobody cares what games you want or don't want them to play.
>>10843024but I'm Cameraman Abe.
>>10838947Is it not subbed already?
>>10842968>Speaking of which, is there no raw release of Super Pinch Out!!! yet? Haven't been able to find it and not in the pastebin.It's not in the pastebin, but there's a few episodes of it on Dailymotion. You can rip it from there using jdownloader2.
>>10843003Not him, but:Takeda saying goodbyeCliffhanger crossing two seasonsStill couldn't beat it after two episodesSets up the revenge at the 15th anniversary showIt's one of the more consequential challenges in quite a while.
>>10842968>>10843040It looks like there aren't any copies up yet that aren't dailymotion rips. It's not on nigoli's blog yet either.
Is there a GCCX discord or is this server basically the only place that the English fanbase congregates? I know it used to be centered around Something Awful back in the day but I'm pretty sure that site died ages ago.
>>10843069>is this server* this THREAD. I'm sleepy.
What was the episode Arino mentioned Cream Lemon? I thought that was surprising for him to mention something so spicy on a kid's show.
>>10843121Quiz the Feudal Lord's Ambition.
>>10843126Damn, that was fast. You know your Arino lore. Thanks.
>>10842945not being able to choose an episode is annoying, but recently they've been either going down a lot or they're playing untranslated episodes
>>10843567What channel even plays gccx now? The only one I see was last live 4 years ago. I watch the vaughn live hawk one but they play the same few episodes over and over.
Does anyone subscribe to the fanclub?
>>10843024I get it - the millennials and their kids are the target audience. For Japan "retro gaming" is primarily the FC, SFC, then PCE and a tiny bit of MD. That's roughly how the breakdown of the game challenges work. BUT long ass rpgs just don't work for the show because they're long and they're NOT skill based challenges. The best parts of the show are Arino just brute forcing old hard ass retro games.
>>10844137Please shut the fuck up
I've really messed up only watching the main episodes. Are all the little side challenge episodes this good?
>>10844302Didn't I tell you to watch everything?
>>10845135Honestly I'm probably missing some really great stuff. I've only watched one of the travelogue episodes, one of the country visit episodes (America), and I skip a lot of the really basic arcade games he plays like Wrecking Crew because I just kind of find the gameplay repetitive to watch. I'm trying to force myself to branch out more now though, since I've seen basically everything else.
>>10845161That's why I said watch everything. It's a great show, and even small bonus stuff is really enjoyable like the time he played Balloon Fight on Nintendo Channel and Iwata was there.
>>10845269I don't think I'm the person you think I am, but I guess I should still watch everything. I've literally been watching this show and avoiding the trips/travelogues for like 10+ years now probably.
>>10842923Get a seedbox...
>>10842845>never seen a single DVD for something that DIDN'T have bonus stuff>so this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone buying it>and people spreading word that it has exclusive content would likely encourage fans to buy it if they weren't going to>tell people not to talk about something everyone could predict and want anyway
>>10843069Curious about this too. I love talking GCCX here, but the threads are often sporadic and it would be cool to shoot the breeze with more fans.
>>10843069>I'm pretty sure that site died ages ago.It didn't. The owner just got cancelled and sold it to a mod who runs it now. The GCCX thread is still up.
>>10842940He still can't sing though.
>>10844183long ass rpgs don't work for the show. Hell, I'd welcome a horse betting game over this.
>>10844183no argument lol
>>10839438Surprised Incredible Crisis hasnt been done yet. But there's been very few psx games on the show. Would like to see Intelligent Qube just to see how far he can get lmao. Would be fun for a small side bit.
>Pretending he lives in JapanI want flags just to expose you.
>>10847185>Would like to see Intelligent Qube just to see how far he can get lmao.They did a two parter on it in 2015.
>>10847185He already did Intelligent Qube, it was one of the most boring challenges ever.
>>10846247I would make one but if you post a link mods might take it down
>>10847192I want flags just so you can see what a retard you are.

>>10848296>literallySo they're only figurative photos, sounds like you're pulling a 'no u'.
>>10848312Not at all. Here's the same doll hanging with my game collection.

>>10848348>falling for obvious baitHave some self respect man
>>10848360No reason to go that far. Slightly north will do.
>>10839438kero kero king would be awesome. I've only played the sequel on gamecube
I wish Arino would play Sonic 3 or Sonic CD
>>10848376Not north enough to find games.
>>10848386Suggest it on their site. https://www.fujitv.co.jp/otn/gamecenter/index.html
>>10848390Of course not, they're all in my closet in Tokyo
>>10848397>The jokeYour head
>>10848396I leave suggestions pretty often. I'm not sure if I've suggested Sonic CD but I have definitely suggested Sonic 3
>>10848401Yup
>>10848402I have a text file keeping track of all this. I've made 4 suggestions this year alone.
>>10848414Like the PS3, no games.
>>10848451What did you suggest? I keep asking for Dino City
>>108484982024 -01- Monster World 4 2024 -02- Dungeon Explorer 2024 -03- 月花霧幻譚~TORICO~2024 -04- Katamari Damacy

>>10848519I had it as a kid. Fun game.https://youtu.be/rxKxopUn9vk?si=zTFDAQLngInFxg0H
Anyone found the latest episode, Punch-Out available for download anywhere yet? I see pastebin doesn't have the link yet and Nigoli where I usually download it is late now.
>>10848386>>10848402Wouldn't the music rights issues probably prevent them from playing Sonic 3?
>>10848809It's on Dailymotion, just download it using jdownloader
>>10848642They need to get the rights from the rights holder of the IP, as well as the publisher, so they likely won't. They are doing one anime/manga game per season almost now. I think for western series, they might do a Loony Tunes game at some point. There's a few really good Anamaniacs and Tiny Toons games.
>>10850234>they likely won't.What makes you say that? I'm pretty sure they have played irem games on the show before.
>>10850793It is not just Irem. Dino City based on is a made for tv movie from America, so they’d have to negotiate with Smart Egg productions or whoever holds the rights to them. Ie more work than it is worth when they could just get an original ip.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventures_in_Dinosaur_City
>>10850809Fuck I didn't know that. Rip Dino City.

>>10851420Based.
>>10851420>just stands there mashing buttons while the boss is clearly flashing invincibility framesThis nigger has been playing these games on TV for 20 fucking years.
>Super Mario Kart>staff wants him to time attack Mario Circuit 1 at 1:03Where did they get that time? Did they just take THEIR best time and challenge Arino to beat it? Are they not aware they're all massively better at games than he is? There was no way in hell he was gonna do that. At least pick a time more manageable for Arino. Have a sense of game design.
>>10851420That was great fun. Arigato to the Scouts.
>>10851420Nice
>>10851420I remember this game being so fucking hard, but then I remembered it was just because I was trying to 1cc it on hard for some reason. Somebody really should've told him the last boss is just unthrowable though. Thank god he didn't have to play the fucking arcade version, too.
>>10851045Yeah, shame. They do licsened games sometimes, like Batman, or TMNT, but it has to be big enough with enough of a fanbase in Japan to warrant it. Some ideas for licsened games that they could do in the future:>City Hunter (PCE)>Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose!>Area 88 (SFC)>Ghost sweeper Mikami (SFC)>Gon (SFC)
>>10848498Too niche. Likely outed yourself as one obsessive spamming.
Ogawa's job likely is to read the suggestions and pitch them to the team.
Finally a Game Center CX stream https://www.twitch.tv/onlygamecentercx
>>10854354>muh streams
>>10854354There already was one. Now there's two I guess.
>>10855268I bookmarked that one ages ago. Maybe it was offline for a while or something.
>>10834759Is Arino immortal? I remember DS game about him, it was 15 years ago or so.
>>10853726>>Ghost sweeper Mikami (SFC)I didn't even know this exists. Is it good?
>>10856491Do you think he's 100 years old or something?
>>10856532He's starting to look it. Does he have health issues? Watching season 3 episode and then watching a new one he doesn't even look like the same guy.
I'm jelly
>>10856570Yeah because its been almost 20 years. Thats what getting older looks like.
Covid era episodes are a little depressing.
>>10857138I know, right?Doesn't help that ADs aren't as present as earlier seasons anymore, but it does feel that interactions got a lot more stilted. Not to mention Arino got really good at games after 20-something seasons which kinda defeats the show's entire premise.
>>10857209>spoilerIt's more they gave him easier games to minimize the need for staff help
>>10857215That, or they ran out of kusoge for him to play. TamaGe segments are also sorely missed.
>>10857209The glass wall ruins it for me. Like at least put a Bowser sticker on it or something, anything to liven it up and lessen the depression of knowing why its there.
>>10857270They got plenty of shit games left, it's just a matter of giving him no stress games.
>>10857343Why no stress? Does he have a heart condition now?
>>10857460Weakens the immune system, plus Ken Shimura was killed by Covid, Kan was not going to be known as the man who killed Arino.
>>10857671Nce blog post.

Which Castlevania games has Arino played thus far?
>>10864402yes
>>10859861Thanks for the spoonfeed anonIs notGCCX just looping through all Episodes?How come its not on Utubes?
>>10842986Context of this pic? I saw this a lot. What game was he playing when he said this?
>>10865365It's Ring-Ring Tactics so he was probably playing Super Monkey Daibouken, he wore a big yellow jacket for the return of Ring-Ring Tactics with Championship Lode Runner. If you mean the actual episode it was in, I dunno but it'd be a season 3 ep. You could also just watch the Ring-Ring Tactics compilation.
>>10865393Okay, thanks!
