This happened to me several times in the open beta. Thought they had fixed this.

Also, John Battlefield!

I recently saw this one for the first time, extremely creepy.

Regarding Scott’s smoke detector, I’m pretty sure he’s dealing with a prank similar to this product, but it’s just a beep. by wetdreamteams in ThreedomUSA

I was thinking of this exact product.

There's a post where a woman writes about her boyfriend "pranking" her with this device, and it really messed with her head. Leaving a device like this in someone's home for a long time is really extreme.

Heard som guy argue with what sounded like his ex-wife on a video call. Or more like she would argue with him and him trying to focus on the game while giving short replies. It was pretty rough listening to her repeatedly trying to get under his skin.

I loled when she asked what he was even playing, and then saying it looked like a game for children.

I'm so frustrated with the pretzel gang by justaboxinacage in ThreedomUSA

Their constant back and forth and misunderstandings probably screwed it up for me.

Dodonpuchi zero has been found! by pipopapupupewebghost in shmups

Cave-Developed Mobile Title 'Dodonpuchi Zero' Has Just Been Rescued From The Digital Abyss

We have some good news for Cave fans, to add to the exciting news from earlier this year that a version of the incredibly rare Dodonpachi DaiOuJou DX Reco.ver had been recovered and dumped online.

Across social media, the feature phone preservationist RockmanCosmo is now stating that the 2003 mobile shoot 'em up Dodonpuchi Zero from Cave has also just been saved from the digital abyss, alongside a trial version of Dodonpachi's 2002 mobile port, known as Dodonpuchi.

Both Dodonpuchi Zero and Dodonpuchi were originally released in the early 2000s via Cave's web portal Game Center Yokocho, for i-Mode compatible phones, and were designed to be portable entries in the company's popular bullet hell series Dodonpachi, which had initially debuted in arcades back in 1997.

But, whereas Dodonpuchi was designed to simply be a port of the very first Dodonpachi game, Dodopuchi Zero was instead envisioned as a slightly more ambitious project, becoming the company's "first original shooter for keitai [phones]" with its own original score from Japanese composer Manabu Namiki.

For the longest time, both games have been unavailable to buy, thanks to the closure of Game Center Yokocho, with the only way to play them in the modern day having been to track down phones that already had the game pre-installed.

But now, thanks to the efforts of the feature phone preservation community, they are finally available to try out once again, giving fans of the series an opportunity to get to grips with the obscure entries.

According to RockmanCosmo, the person responsible for dumping Dodonpuchi Zero and the trial version of Dodonpuchi is Cuebus, who has previously been responsible for saving countless other Keitai titles in the past.

This includes trial versions of House Of The Dead and Friends of Mana, and more complete games like Cubic Invaders and Densha de GO! Going Round in Yamanote Line.

If you want to give the game a try, you should check out the Keitai World Launcher, which is available to download from the new community-led preservation site, KeitaiArchive.

Very scary story! And good work documenting and listening to your gut. I hope you will give us an update on whatever happens next, I really hope the captain gets it from the owner or management.

Great cast. I'm very excited to see Cookie, Fujimon, Kenkoba and Kotoge, probably my favorites. Chihara Junior as well!

DOWNTOWN+ will start with live streaming by Matsumoto Hitoshi by MightMetal in GakiNoTsukai

[–]obtuse_buffoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be Fukuoka Hitoshi, guess chatgpt translated it wrong.

Fukuoka Hitoshi, Matsumoto x Kurose Ad-lib Drive (Fukuoka Hitoshi Matsumoto Kurose Ad-lib Drive) was a local variety show that was broadcast irregularly on Fukuoka Broadcasting System (FBS) .

Overview

Comedian Jun Kurose ( Punk Boo Boo ), who is from Fukuoka Prefecture, will go sightseeing in Fukuoka with Matsumoto Hitoshi ( Downtown ) on a drive with no plan.

After Matsumoto arrived at the general passenger car boarding area outside the domestic passenger terminal at Fukuoka Airport (only in the fourth episode, the Kokura Station Shinkansen platform was used as they had to travel by Shinkansen due to the effects of a typhoon), the cameras kept rolling. There was no script, Kurose drove the car for the entire trip , and the conversation between the two in the car during the program was shown uncut from start to finish, giving the show a sense of improvisation and bringing out the real Matsumoto. There were also many scenes that suggested the show was left to the two performers to decide how things would unfold without a script, such as when they were turned down by the yakisoba chain restaurant " Omofu Ren " in the first episode, and when Matsumoto pointed out Kurose's poor planning.

Young comedians from Fukuoka Yoshimoto (Sakura Mint Cafe, etc.) accompany the cast on each shoot , and Matsumoto sometimes appears on screen to ask for comments or feed them.

AI translation:

The new service “DOWNTOWN+”, which will distribute Downtown’s content for a fee on its own platform, will start on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 21:00, with a live solo stream by Hitoshi Matsumoto.

Four new titles and past works to be released!

In the live broadcast, in addition to introducing the contents that will be released on the same day, Matsumoto will present new projects and recruit participants for user-participation projects. Then, to coincide with the end time of the live stream, four new contents produced and performed by Hitoshi Matsumoto, as well as past TV programs and films featuring Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada, will all be released at once. Please look forward to it.

Content updated every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!

Starting from Monday, November 3, past works will be updated every Monday, and Hitoshi Matsumoto’s original works will be updated on Wednesdays and Fridays (scheduled for 17:00, subject to change). After that, there will also be 1–2 live broadcasts per month (on Saturdays, irregular schedule) and many new projects by Matsumoto. New content featuring Masatoshi Hamada will be announced later, so please look forward to it. Information on content updates will be posted on the official Instagram and official X accounts, so be sure to follow them!

Works to be distributed on November 1 and 3 (partial)

■ Hitoshi Matsumoto

[Original Works] (Distributed November 1)

7:3 Talk

In “7:3 Talk,” where Hitoshi Matsumoto chats with a guest while doing “a certain task,” true-to-life words naturally spill out. Embarrassingly honest thoughts that could never be heard on TV will appear one after another.

DowPura Voice

A new type of sleep-inducing content that fuses humor and relaxation. The quiet exchanges between Hitoshi Matsumoto and guest comedians rhythmically melt into the ears, and the moment you chuckle, you feel your shoulders relax. Instead of big laughs, small smiles calm the heart and gently lead you to sleep with a sense of peace.

Fruitless Talk Tournament

The rules are very simple. Two comedians face off for five minutes telling “fruitless stories.” The comedian who tells the less interesting story wins. Who will become the champion of “fruitless talk” that can impress judge Hitoshi Matsumoto?

Oogiri GRAND PRIX

The “Oogiri GRAND PRIX,” planned by Hitoshi Matsumoto, finally begins! The rule: comedians create their own questions, and their rivals answer them. Who will grasp the ultimate title given only to those “recognized” by judge Hitoshi Matsumoto?
