But I've heard people in GCCX saying gaijin at least twice. Are you saying that they would air something racist?

>>773680
>It is when you don't see yourself as an outsider.
Japan, like most of Asia and Europe, is not an immigrant nation.
She is an outsider any way you cut it.

>>773694
Japan airs plenty of racist shit on TV. Racism is pretty casual in a country where most of the population is Japanese.

>>773680
If her name is 'Nina Matsumoto' and she doesn't live in Japan, I think it is reasonable to call her a foreigner. 'Gaijin' is not a pejorative any more than 'foreigner' (not to say that these words can't be used to exclude/offend people).

Speaking of foreigners, you see this badass? He's a Canadian who's lived in Japan for most of his life. Speaks perfect Japanese. He got a role in this show called Kyoryuger, where he plays a Viking warrior from 500 years ago who has a Dinosaur robot buddy. Basically because of this they asked him to speak like a foreigner and he said it was the hardest thing he's ever done.

I hope you're not trying to imply that racial stereotypes only appear in Japanese television (or that is it anywhere as bad as you make it seem).

>only put on a act for the rest of the world?
This part made me laugh. Is this all part of their master plan, involving everybody from toddlers to yakuza, from preteen girls to seniors, and that they are secretly out to get us? They're even worse than the Jews! (Not that I believe in any of that /pol/ crap).

Anyways, this is a GCCX thread and this discussion belongs in /int/ or /pol/ so I'm going to stop taking this thread further off topic by ending with this: claiming that a whole race of people are racists is ignorant at best and could even be construed as a form of racism itself.

Claiming that the notions and behaviors of the Japanese Empire were anything other than ultra-nationalist and racist is itself absurd.

Yea clearly I'm implying that there's some big conspiracy from scary ol' Japan. I think Japan is great don't get me wrong but they have a massively long history of being and continuing to be xenophobic as hell and thinking they're a master race. Have you never studied Japanese history? They changed the hatred to elitism.

Any nation that doesn't look out for themselves is suicidal. Japan will still exist in 100 years; no European nation will.

Whole argument is based around us assuming that the fundamental character of the Japanese nation from the 19th through mid-20th centuries was immediately arrested and reversed when we dropped bologna on them.

>birth rate declining
>wont let in foreigners
>work force going to shit because of both
yeah ok.

Incidentally Commander Breivik respects Japan more than any country in the world. He does so for their attitudes toward foreigners.

In the aftermath of Norway's worst violence since World War II, documents are beginning to emerge that show the online life that suspected killer Anders Breivik lived. One comment posted to the right-wing site Document.no shows Breivik had admiration for the "monoculturalism" of Japan.

In comments made on New Year's Eve 2009 by the suspect, in response to a claim that globalization and modernity cannot be reversed, Breivik looks to Japan and South Korea for his response.

"You may not have heard and Japan and South Korea? These are successful and modern regimes even if they rejected multiculturalism in the 70's. Are Japanese and South Koreans goblins?" the suspect asks.

On Sept. 1, 2010, Breivik expands on his views on Japan and South Korea, expressing his admiration for the two nations' refusal to accept refugees.

"The UN has for years been trying to push them to receive hundreds of thousands of refugees but the number has ended in a tiny fraction of the original claim," Breivik says.

"Multiculturalists will be very embarrassed if you mention Japan and South Korea as these nations proves quite obvious [sic] that mass immigration is only a result of specific Marxist doctrines and very rarely economically or culturally privileged. Japan/South Korea has a border and border guards. If one lacks the visa one is denied passage ... (Europe had known this scheme prior to 1950-1960).

"The interesting question is, why are not Japanese and South Koreans demonized as Nazis and fascists?"

It's unlikely Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be happy to see they have such a fan.

>>774686
Population rose exponentially in the 20th century. It can't do that forever. There has to be a hit some time.

>>774698
I think Japan would understand this if that were the case. They are trying to promote people to have sex and make children so I think they're worried.

>>775748

>>775756

That's something I don't understand, like Japanese isn't some fucking secret code no one understands. I think things will change in Japan but it's one thing if they wanna make sure people assimilate into their culture and another when people are and they still treat them like shit.

>>775762
>assimilate into their culture and another when people are and they still treat them like shit.
See this is a moronic way of thinking and mostly stems from completely ill-conceived notions of expected treatment.
You can adopt other people's culture and attempt to "assimilate" all you want, you still can't become part of the natives.
This goes for 90% of the world's countries.

>>775748
>black face
That only has connotations of racism in America. Stupid too since hollywood's earliest support of black actors came from some of the big blackface stars.
>>775756
>in one of the batsu games when a black man spoke fluent Japanese.
The joke was that he spoke perfectly in a local dialect. Like hearing say a deep south accent on an asian out of a sudden.
They've had Bob Sapp on their skits prior to that so the notion of blacks speaking japanese isn't something new even for the show.

Oh u Kacho!

I finally get home from a business trip, load up my DVRed GCCX and find that Arino's trying to breed incest horses.

Awesome.

>>774591
yes, that is right, he/she shall be assimilated
he/she shall become part of the /vr/ hive

The Inoko MAX horse and Toujihorse have broken legs, is Arino forced into horse incest?!

>>776132
/d/evient here and that sounds hawt to me. Though I'm probably imagining something different with "forced into horse incest" than is intended.

AP Iida apparently has a boyfriend.

>>774617
>>774630
>>774640
Yes, the Japanese do tend to be eletist about their culture. But I think the basis of this and their views of other cultures is more based on cultural misunderstanding rather than pure hatred, so, as it is still frustrating and sometimes disgusting, it's not racism, since racism is defined by hatred.

>>776139
Arino is cross-breeding horses for short-term results, disregarding long-term victories in racing

So...
...
likely different from what you're thinking.

>>774754
>>774715
I'd say it's more /int/ than /pol/
if it was /pol/ there would be more posts about how racism is good and jewish conspiracies and words like nigger and jew thrown out a lot and the discussion wouldn't be civil at all.
/pol/ is objectively the worst board on this site.

>>776159
yeah, I figured that's what you meant, but my imagination goes to naughty places.

Arino makes a typical mistake.
Kan: Stand up.
Arino: O.K.,
Kan: This isn't some game.
Arino. O.K. Even though this is a game...
Kan: Games aren't just for fun!
Arino: I guess that's what it's become...

I agree. kinda weird though, because back in the day Hitler granted the japanese the title of being "honorary aryans" and applauded them because they are holding on to their culture so much.

>>776383
Nothing, but the show has a pretty long production cycle. It may even be years till there's any word.

>>776407
that's fine. that means they might run out of Nintendo titles at some point and gotta do something else.

This /int/ and/or /pol/ discussion needs to stop.

The thread is being overrun by it.

Please make a thread on another board.

You can link to that thread from here, but we need to stick to GCCX.

>>776417
yeah, so? I don't think they will do overly obscure titles but more popular ones. I only remember them doing three different western games. there really could be some more.

>>776413
GCCX is a show that needs to make money to stay alive. If they have to stick the majority retro-game market to do so, well...

>>776431
I'm just saying that there is no real likelihood of running out of Nintendo games. I agree that many obscure titles don't warrant a whole episode (although it's fun to discover games I haven't heard about).

It's not a question of who he named it after, it's the logic behind it.

Conbro here. Got my Retro Game Master DVD set a couple days ago, can't wait to give it out. Problem is, I can't seem to find a good collection of old school games, so I need either visit a Goodwill or use a extensive PS1/PS2 library since all of my old games are in another state so I can actually run this Catch Copy game. Other than that, I think I've just settled on Paris-Dakar Rally, since the more I rewatch episodes the more I'm convinced that it's perfect for a group of people.

>>777078
Maybe he named it after George Clinton, of the Parliament Funkadelic? It's electric!

Which episodes have you seen so far? If you don't want to start from the beginning, we can recommend some based on what you've enjoyed up until now.

>>777450
If there are multiple episodes from a series of games, try to watch them in the order they aired to avoid spoilers. Seasons 3 & 4 should be watched complete and in order due to spoilers. The Zelda episodes may be tempting, but they're generally regarded as pretty weak.

>>777459
I've really just been following links on Dailymotion based on whims. Here's what I've seen:

Dragon Ball
F-Zero
Kirby's Adventure
Mega Man 3
Pacman 2

>>777486
I really reccomend Tomimeki Memorial. Best episode ever.

>>777486
Okay, so you've only seen stuff from Season 10 and later so far. You might want to give things a shot from the beginning. It's alright to skip Season 1 if you want, as the format was much different back then. By the time you hit Prince of Persia in Season 2, you'll be having a great time.

>>777476
Thanks. Think I'll get started on these next chance I get. Any other seasons that work like this?

I think we need to make a list of "FIRST TIME EPISODES TO WATCH" for new people since they keep getting asked. I know tastes can be all subjective but I like the Something Awful approach of "I want to see x".

>>777508
>Any other seasons that work like this?
Not seasons as a whole, but there are scattered spoilers for some things here and there. You should try to watch the "epic" multi-episode challenges before the stuff that comes after them, just in case there are spoilers that I'm forgetting. This includes Mighty Bomb Jack (39 - 41), Quest of Ki (54, 55 & parts of 60) and Lemmings (73, 89 & Live Compilation).

>>777530
This sounds like a good idea. Disagreements will happen, but we can hammer something out. The SA model would be good to follow.

>>777508
>>777530
GCCX in the USA is where I started to be honest and it's great...though you feel kinda bad about that old fat store owner giving zero fucks...

>>777535
In my mind, the best paces to start are games the average american/euro might have played as a kid.
the Mario Bros, Megamans, Ninja Gaidens, Ghost n Goblins ( et al ), Punch Out, Lemmings, Sanic. That lets you get the most empathy early on so you can work your way up to more ( forgive the word ) obscure titles like Konami wai wai world etc

>>777872
I wouldn't recommend MegaMan to a newbie. They're gonna get real pissed at how bad Arino plays those games. Instead of cheering for him, they're just gonna yell at their screen. Everything else you said are good choices though.

>>777910
Only Megman sperglords get angry over those videos. They're really just entertaining because of how forgetful he is and how far he manages to get despite his inefficient gameplay.
