I always thought you sounded a bit like Todd Howard.

I love that they decided to dub me over with a woman. I always knew that that was how I sounded in Japanese.

Your dubbed Japanese voice and Papapishu’s blank stare kill me every time. LOL

Yeah, it isn’t lost on me.

Weirder still, the English was probably just a sloppy linguistic backformation of the original Japanese script. I don’t think anyone is actually meant to listen to it—it’s just atmospheric background noise—but as I don’t understand Japanese, I kind of had to zero in on the host’s narration to make any sense of the program at all.

I like how it was originally in english, dubbed in japanese, then subbed by you.

seems a bit counter-intuitive.

I can’t even read what you’re saying in that video, because I can’t scrub through it. Did you say something to the effect of “Ironically, we can’t understand a word they’re saying?” Did they just show an episode of the show without subtitles, then?

I recall hearing you speak about the little pile of wonderful that is GameCenter CX; along with Retronaut’s own Ray Barnholt (if I’m not mistaken). It sounds interesting, and I am sad to admit that I have not seen it (yet). Nor have I had the chance to play Retro Game Challenge.

I wish to remedy both of these problems.
