Premise
Arino is presented as an employee of the GameCenter CX Company.
Sometimes when he really gets stuck playing a game, one of the 'staff/interns' will offer their help to get him past a tough area. They usually stop immediately after and let him continue on his own. Occasionally they will even ask if he 'gives up'.
The CX 'company' even 'promotes' the host depending on how well he does during the season. The phrase Arino says right before turning on the console, "Kachō on!", is actually referring to his status as manager of the aforementioned (fictional) company.
| Season | Position | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | Senior Staff (Shunin) | |
| Season 1 | Section Chief (Kachō Dairi) | |
| Season 4 | Chief (Kachō) | After clearing every game in the 3rd Season |
| Season 4 | Section Chief (Kachō Dairi) | 4 losses in a row - Ultraman to ActRaiser |
| Season 4 | Senior Staff (Shunin) | Demoted due to a second final boss failure in ActRaiser |
| Season 4 | Chief (Kachō) | Promoted due to a successful completion of Quiz Tonosama no Yabou |
To continue on with the 'Corporation' theme of the show, a stock certificate was included with the second DVD collection to have the buyers feel like they 'owned stock' in the 'company'.
In the last episode of season 7, Bandai Namco President Ishikawa made Arino an honorary employee of BNG and presented Arino with a Company card.

Famous quotes containing the word premise:
“We have to give ourselves—men in particular—permission to really be with and get to know our children. The premise is that taking care of kids can be a pain in the ass, and it is frustrating and agonizing, but also gratifying and enjoyable. When a little kid says, “I love you, Daddy,” or cries and you comfort her or him, life becomes a richer experience.”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
