    no ignorance, its more me just assuming things. Sites that sell a particular design for 24 hours and then move onto another design the following day

    Places like teefury, ript apperal, qwertee all seem to do way too many dr who references shirts it seems to me

    I see a lot of people wearing t-shirts with the old doctor who from the 70's and 80's on them and I'm fairly sure most of the people have never watched a classic episode in there life.

    This type of thing:

    Wtf he sent it in a used pizza box?! I suppose as long as the board works then that's the main thing but what a lazy hobo of a seller. :mad:

    In all seriousness that's kinda weird.

    I honestly....

    think the more modern series of Doctor Who ( i.e. the ones with Billy Piper acting in them)

    is the most

    cringeworthy

    viewing

    on

    TV.

    And it will always puzzle me how people can possibly endure watching such tripe! :pac::pac::pac:


    There, I finally got to vent my frustration in front of an actual Doctor Who fan!


    All imo of course! ;)


    I do love the history involved in the making of the original theme tune though. :p

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,105 ✭✭✭Doge


    They should make an R-Rated, gorey,ultra-violent Doctor Who episode/film with this version playing in a battle scene...




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,894 ✭✭✭Steve X2


    I like Doc Who and don't care about the consequences :p

    I was a bit dubious about Matt Smith and his lack of eyebrows but I've grown to like him. Still prefer Tennant of course but what can you do. We might see him back for the 50th anniversary.

    Once they kicked Russell T Davis out and get Stephen Moffat in as the main guy behind the show it went from being crap panto to actually being quite good.(basically once Matt Smith came in as Dr. Who).

    And what, pray tell, is the issue with 40?
    Is it final gateway to old age, obsolescence and wetting yourself when you laugh?

    Actually I do prefer the 20 something Amy to the 40 something, psychotic Amy...

    That's insane! I've never seen anything that bad. Have had stuff delivered in Pampers boxes before, but thankfully they were nappy free!

    Glad it worked out fine for ye. Nice board, great game. I was trying to win a ST-V of Soukyugurentai from the same seller recently. Found out it was a bootleg though, thankfully I didn't win (he never stated it was a bootleg, even when I asked, but I had the photos provided confirm the cart as bootleg).

    Who knows what it would have been sent in. A bag of anthrax and a folded Michael Buble CD cover probably.

    This little beauty arrived this morning, Raiden DX for the PS1. Would love to get my hands on the PCB version but fabulous game nonetheless. Unlike that annoying 'The Raiden Project' that lets you rotate the image but not the controls. :rolleyes:

    DX has some very handy in game settings to re-position scores/bombs, adjust screen position etc.

    rdxps102.jpg

    Stage selection. Hooked on the Training stage atm, it's one long level with no continues and a single boss at the end. Training my arse, it's very difficult to get far into it.

    rdxps103.jpg

    Pics from lvl 1 of the Novice stage which is similar in layout to Raiden II lvl 1:

    Found a secret bonus to play with an orange ship! :eek: Nah I've just been tagged by a bullet while pausing the game, a split second before it's going to explode. :pac:

    That was delivered very quickly!

    As to your usual standard, some of the nicest CRT photo images I've ever seen :)

    Actually, you know what? They'd be absolutely brilliant for making my hama bead sprite things. I wanted to build a tank, but can't seem to find any sprite sheets for Raiden 2.

    I may use the one in your photo. You can see every single pixel crystal clear!

    /edit - I also fell for your orange ship gag for a moment :D

    Help yourself to them. I re-sized them down to 25% so if you want the full size ones or more pics then let me know, it's no hassle.

    /Edit: Actually yeah, I only bought it on Sunday (ebay), postage was €8 from France. That is quick!

    Project Zero, I think I have one of those on the Xbox..
    Of course I have far too many games to play right now and I'd have to invest in a new array of underpants to cope with another game on the scale of Silent Hill 2!

    It's a very misunderstood game and the people that slag it off have never played it before. Also it's much better in it's original NTSC form since the frame rate of 10 FPS is far more playable than the PAL versions. Also people fail to realise the social commentary in the game. The manual states that the green mist in the game is a product of Lex Luther and is 'Kryptonite Gas' but this is really a ruse and is in fact a direct commentary on the poor draw distance in most N64 games and the poor implimentation of anti aliasing.

    The few episodes I glimpsed at on Dave or whatever channel it was, must have been from that era so.


    I think i remember catching a glimpse of an older episode that looked better.

    It was set back in Victorian times-ish, and while he's having a conversation with a woman on the street,
    there's a piano tha'ts held up by some rope/hoist in the background, and the rope is starting to tether.

    A mother pushing a pram walks towards the piano, and he ends up throwing something that helps snap the rope so the piano falls before they walk under it and saved the day.

    If that rings any bells, or mallets in this case. ;)

    (it's not even creepy) this is true, I cleared the first one pretty fast but it was the PS2 version, I'd like to try the Xbox version (have it there) to see what controls are like and stuff.
    But PZ2 is one of my favourite games, there's improvement from the first one but it's not as scary as PZ3.
    And now I've longings for all them again.

    My bad...
    They are/were super tasty and the food of choice, along with Jolt cola, of gamers EVERYWHERE.

    (well, when I say gamers everywhere I mean American gamers between the years of 92 and 2003 or so, sorry I can't be more specific)

    The better half bought one of those little chemical marvels, for the heating properties of course but also so when you pass their stand in the Pavilion in Swords you can honestly tell them "No thanks, have one" without lowering you head in shame and ignoring them like usual!

    Hate to bring it up but it's a really poor port of the game done by Tose. It's no where near as bad as the PS1 port but they really ****ed up the music in the game which is one of the best things about it.
