Game Center CX: Playing Games So You Don't Have To

I've been meaning to make a thread about this for a while now and it's high time I got off my lazy ass and did so.

What's GCCX you ask? Why ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN WITH A BIG QUOTE BOX:

Quote:
Retro Game Master, known in Japan as GameCenter CX (???????CX G?mu Sent? Sh? Ekkusu?), is a Japanese television series where Shinya Arino, a member of comedy duo Yoiko, plays Japan's most popular video games (a majority of which are Family Computer games) and records his progress as he works through a time limit, usually lasting up to one day. He is supported by his Assistant Directors (herein referred to as ADs) and Staff, both via moral support and actual gameplay.
In short, it's similar to the Let's Play's you see floating around on the internet. What makes this one unique however is that Arino is sort of the anti-AVGN. Whereas AVGN plays games and gets mad as hell, Arino is extremely chill, often approaching the games from a more relaxed and humorous angle. He's played a bunch of games from all over that you'd probably be familiar with, like A Link to The Past and Castlevania III, to more unknown things (among non-hardcore nerds anyway) like Another World/Out of This World and Umihara Kawase.



Yes way! The show runs about 58 minutes per ep, and a lot of the folks over at SA have banded together to help subtitle the episodes and get people to watch. It's a seriously great show, I'd recommend picking at least one title you're familiar with to get a feel and then dive in to the rest. My favorites are probably the Umihara Kawase and Another World episodes. The episodes themselves are being subbed in random order, and there's a good overview of the show and all of it's episodes here.

Also, the AVGN is sort of halfway decent at some games whereas Arino will literally die to the same bullet in the same place 50 times in a row, whereupon the ADs bail him out so he can die to a boss and then forget to continue.

If anybody else tried to make LPs while being as shit-terrible at all games ever as Arino is, it'd be infuriating. But CX works, somehow. It's like watching a adorably retarded puppy smack the controller with its face.

Also if you're like me and irrationally hostile to downloading videos This Guy has most of the same eps as in Tails' list, probably from the same subbing group.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yup, looks like it's all the stuff just uploaded to youtube, which is increidble considering they don't let people with newer accounts upload shit that long anymore. Thanks for the find~

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've been watching whatever clips that have been posted on youtube, and I have to agree: this show is pretty awesome/hilarious and totally worth the watch.

Also, his play-through of Prince of Persia is my favorite.

Acer's incompetence is also acceptable because he can be yelled at

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I have Retro Game Challenge, which is the wonderful little video game about playing video games that's based on this show. I'd heard the show was pretty good too, but I had no idea that anyone was subbing it. Just watched the Umihara Kawase and Out of this World episodes.

And man this is glorious. Even though this guy is horrible at video games, nothing seems to faze him at all. Been playing the same game for six hours? Time to remove the coat and put a cold compress on. And when he finally overcomes something difficult, only to die three seconds later, it's hard to decide whether to laugh or cry. (Okay, that was a lie. You laugh every time.)

Plus, watching a 500 year old woman be better than him at Metal Slug? Priceless.

Oh, cool. I had been interested in watching this from Kotaku, but I heard they edited out significant portions of the show and I was too lazy to go dig up the subbed versions of the original.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The SA guys are on a roll, with the Mighty Bomb Jack Live special and Goemon - Legend of the Mystical Ninja episodes.
