How to register for NicoNico to watch tons of rad game footage
#1
Okay, what's NicoNico? NicoNico is the Japanese Youtube. It's quite a bit better than youtube, though. NicoNico allows for movies much longer than 10 freaking minutes, and it has comment scrolling. What is comment scrolling? Well it's pretty simple, you type in a comment at a certain time, and it scrolls by when someone else watches that video at the time you posted it.
Basically it's like sitting in the living room with your friends watching movies. Anyway, why you should even give a shit about the Japanese youtube? It's got tons of cool game footage. The main problem with the site is the registration process. One, you either have to know Japanese, or someone (like me, aren't I nice) will give you a nice walk through. Two, the time limit. If you're registration number is higher than the current 24 hour registration number, you can only view NicoNico from 2AM to 7:00PM Japan time. Lucky for most of you though, that won't be too much of a factor given the time difference. So, how do I register? First, go to www.nicovideo.jp and click on this BIG RED BUTTON  Which will take you to the information screen. Here is an English version:  Once you've done this you'll see the terms of service, who cares, just enter in the secret letter thing and press the button UNDER the box you type in the secret word. If you can't read the secret word, the button to the right will give you a new one. Once you've done this, wait for the e-mail and click the link to activate your account and then, voila! Happy viewing! To get you guys started (although, I guess you all won't be able to watch stuff yet) here are some cool vids. And for those who don't read a lick of Japanese, the games section is the 6th tab. Mario Galaxy: Soundtrack video: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1456424 Playlist of some guy playing through Mario Galaxy (they are on part 23 right now) http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/2460345/3317870 Some guy beating the manatee race in 52 seconds: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1452286 Earth Defense Force Last boss Insane: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm606628 Megaman 2 Tool assisted play VS. me(not me, but whoever uploaded) playing at 1.5 speed: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1346010 GTA SA TAKE TOMMY FLASH: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm780594 Mario Cheetahmen and Mario, wtf: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1445008 Oblivion 131 videos of some guy playing through Oblivion: http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/2445101/2350574 Crazy ass Mugen tournaments Mugen strong character (serious wtf moments here) http://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/%E5%BC%B...83%A9%E7%A5%AD This is just scratching the surface. So everyone start registering so posting links from here won't be such a lost cause. Last edited by sprsk : 02-01-2008 at 04:38 AM. |
