    I picked up some bit in Marks earlier... mini sausage rolls and the like.

    I also popped into Rage... but they had nothing good.

    Atavan you really need to update your DC region mod, the switch method is now gone the way of the dinosaur. The Link83 bios is where the cool kids are at...

    If you have any Mega-CD stuff bring it with ya! :-)

    Docentore was selling them a while back, not sure if he has any left though. It's a hybrid retail/dev bios with the Katana intro & is region free. Damned cool

    Cheers for another thoroughly enjoyable night all, with extra gratitude to the ever reliable northside host and southside driver!

    That irritating stick is really quite irritating...


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,653 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Damn, I had forgotten about that game, and now I remember it, and I'm getting somewhat irritated.... bugger! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy


    After staying the night me and Retr0 ending up stayed til the evening! Poor Dinorex must be sick of us! (thanks so much for everything and pancakes) We almost cleared Resonance, it was just getting really good when we'd to go, it was midnight by the time I was back in Limerick.

    Atavan still owe you for the game, I won't forget and Ciderman hope you thanked Ciderwife for us onomnomnomnom. Will be getting Slenderman during the week, wasn't even scared of it :pac: and will upload the ending to Dinorex.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,245 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    I'm raging that I missed this.

    I'm getting in touch with the organiser of the next one well in advance.

    Does anyone fancy playing with a Dreamcast Broadband Adapter? ;-)

    Thanks for another great night although there was a surprising lack of CDi. We finally got to see the end of Dino Rex, it really was a beautiful sight. Also thanks for the bacon pancakes and cidermans missus for the BBQ food!

    I know he was the scourge of women everywhere and was just too good at games, making us all anxious to avoid playing against him but was murder really the answer?

    Next time we have to finish Dino City:



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,041 ✭✭✭pdbhp


    Great evening thanks Dinorex,
    Thanks Atavan for the lift..... awesome navigating also:pac:

    Enternow is just his prison name, he was very popular with everyone in there, made his whole week!

    And these posts are exactly why we don't get more girl gamers, aside from Sera.... and Retr0, at these evenings.

    It could be worse...sure Atavan chatted up a gay guy right in front of us on these very boards...


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,653 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    That was purdy darn funny alright, the guy seemed a tad embarrassed about it, haven't seen him post in these parts in a while...
    Perhaps the awesome power of Atavans flirting was too much... Dial it down man!

    I could see it a mile off, & poor young Atavan just let wishful thinking take over...right in front of us no less :D:D

    No offence to the other guy at all, everyone is welcome here, but poor Atavan...of all the forums to trip up on :pac:
