    I can just get a mp3 file of him saying how great it is, pop it into a loop on Youtube, then put it on in the background, job done!
    The rest of us can play Repton in peace!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Dunno if I'll make it or not. Had a look at my rota in work and I'm in until 9.15pm on Friday and then in at 8.45am on Saturday :(


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn

    Change the rota. Or quit your job. You know what's important in life :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    I'll try swap and do a late shift on Saturday! If not I can still probably pop along for a couple of hours.

    Also, any stains on my clothes may be bodily fluids, just not my bodily fluids...

    No valet unfortunately. I'm sure pdhpp will glady take your car for a spin around the block though :p

    It may come back with an ATM attached to the bonnet.

    He still hasn't gotten over the Game closures and lack of ramraiding options.... plus there's all that HMV security tape that he bought on eBay... useless now :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    Bus to your place from Amien St... got a voucher for a pamper package in a barber's there too so when I arrive I'll be freshly cut and shaved.

    See? I go all out...


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Don't upset if no one notices, I chase the field mice out of my beard for these things and no one ever clocks it :(

    But, be assured that in the main, we are a more hygienic crowd than the folk on the Sega forum, poor lonely stinky b@stards to a man....

    Ohh...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    I'm still not sure if I'll be there so expect me if you see me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭MrVestek

    I had a word with your boss, he said it's all good and you can head along.

    He also said stop messaging his wife.

    Oh, I'll bring along Shock Troopers, The MVS 111in1 cart and I'll pop in the Famicom, I have a nice little Shmup heavy collection going on there.
    It is just the MVS multicart you need over, not the board as well? It's fairly bulky and if you don't need it I'd rather not lump it over!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,269 ✭✭✭✭o1s1n

    Yep, the cart is all we need. Have a 1 slot in the cab waiting :)

    Wouldn't mind having a bash of the Famicom!

    It is a little buzzy and has a small bit of the onscreen lines that so often happens with AV modding but other than that it's gold, I've got the following for it,
    Gradius, Gradius II, Salamander (Lifeforce via adapter), Commando, Tiger Heli, SMB, SMB2, SMB3, Balloon Fight (needs cleaning), Star Force, Twinbee and 1943.
    Both controllers are working so bobs your uncle!

    So, you countered with a WWE video clip..... says it all really....


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,890 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I countered with 10 hours of positivity!

    10 hours of a 'roid soaked twonk saying "Yes", oh dear, how broken you really are....

    Must start an A&R CDi Owners Support Fund, to help pay for the painful de-programming and constant rectal probing required to bring CDi owners to their senses.
    Associated charities include, The A&R Obsessive Compulsive Boulder Dash Disorder Treatment Fund and the Care for the Impoverished Japansese Shmup Owners Fund.

    We were going to set up a drying out clinic for Atavan but he likes being that way, so why go to the trouble?

    Anybody interested in me bringing a region free Dreamcast with games?

    I have two Dreamcasts here already - games would be great though! Most of the games I have are Shmups. Do you have Powerstone or are other good multiplayer games?


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

    We need to find some new **** games!

    Should make it out for a few hours. Saturday is an all day film-a-thon at JDIFF (who programmes films for 10.30 AM on a Saturday and Sunday morning?!), so might have to retire around last bus / first nightlink o'clock!

    If there us mame then retrogamer's Unconverted section has some quality Kusoge as does the Kusoge section at HG101:

    I discovered Dino Rex in the retrogamer arcade section although another came strangely took the best left in the arcade spot.

    If you have blank CDs then I have the game.

    Multiplayer games that I can think of are Typing of the dead (which could be good for a laugh). MK Gold, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter 3tb, Street Fighter 3rd Strike, Ready To Rumble, Ready To Rumble Round 2, Sega Rally 2, V-Rally, Bleem for Tekken 3, Hydro Thunder, Worms Armageddon, Re-Volt, Chu Chu Rocket, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (I dunno could be good for a laugh)...

    That's all I can think of right now, they're all mostly two player (apart from Chu Chu) but they could be good for a laugh.
