More than likely a good quality tv or av cable is it?

Might be the cable. It was just a small portable CRT.

In fairness an old portable TV I had had by far the cleanest picture of any TV I've ever seen for both TV broadcasts and the PS1 through AV.

It was the lack of dot crawl that surprised me. It's due to all the colour elements and the black and white data coming through on one connector. Noticed it wasn't there on Castlevania IV which is a very colourful game and in particular on the Konami logo which is a good test for dot crawl.

Was that the Enternow modded Snes I gave him that had the weird video issues?

No it was another SNES

Awh! I was hoping that by some freak chance whatever happened to the video supercharged your AV connection.

So, Christmas Beers......
What's the story???
Some time in December, but if in mine, will peeps come along??

Retr0gamer

Me and sera are on board.

johnny_ultimate

Yeah I'd be up for it - all depends on whether someone with an extra seat is heading out that direction, of course

CiDeRmAn

Yeah, that's really the big problem of a Beers in mine, it's a long way for a lot of people...
Unfortunately you can't be all from north county dublin, some are even tragic enough to be from Meath... poor backstards

Atavan-Halen

Depending on work, yes!

And we have verifiable evidence now that he isn't a sentient AI running a custom K.U.R.T.R.U.S.S.E.L.L OS, so there's no excuse!

Look at you with all your work terminology. I've I see you posting anything containing "going forward" I'll know the Atavan we knew is truly dead

It's not particularly challenging. But it's a lot of fun and has a great sense of humour.

You clearly didn't see me on Saturday night so! Stumbled home at 8am after a few too many tequilas and jagerbombs (dropped into blue wkd and not red bull), was supposed to be in work at 8.45 am so I suddenly came down with a cold.

I told my boss today and she just laughed and said she'd done it before and that I'm 19 so it's ok :P

Going forward, my ask is for you to continue to touch base concerning issues which have been flagged.

Please revert to me with any questions.

So.Much.Wrong.

Edit - I've actually seen 'revert to me' in a solicitors letter. I **** you not.

Okay solicitor, if I have a question, you just want me to TURN BACK INTO YOU? I WAS NEVER YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Without a post of yours containing:

"GGhtjerlio im izz drunk ldz. i l3v wimim an b00bz"

then it carries little weight I'm afraid.

Anyone going to pick up a copy of Daze Before Christmas for the chrimbo meet up?

I could bring my Daze Before Christmas proto?
