I got it from Amazon yesterday for the PS4 (not sure how it arrived for launch day using Super Saver delivery, but hey!)...like most have been saying, it's nothing ground breaking, but seems a decent game none the less. Apparently it picks up substantially after the first few hours.

Just got there packs of 3000 Nintendo points for three euro each in Tesco.
Now, what to spend it on?

Nice that he's not buying into their rubbish or upping the price, and sticking with meeting you.

Saturday suits us both for collection so I hope he stays that way until then.

Try and get it earlier if you can, I'm not too up on xbox collecting but I'd imagine a sealed console is worth several times that.

Check this out, sold too.

So I got a xbox2jamma adapter off saftyboy last night.
made a nice little case for it today and was going to make a jamma harness for it to make it proper jamma.
came out lovely




then disaster,
I was locking up one of the carparks in work and this wrinkly old bag of a yoke was last out and taking forever.
like I had no where else to be.
I had left my bag in the other car park and a fella drove over it



Luckily I had taken my raybans out and was wearing them because the case was flattened and ripped up.
he said he'll replace it for me.
Raging tho

o1s1n

Holy crap! Talk about utterly destroyed. You must be gutted, the job you did with the perspex looked gorgeous

Pretty pissed off but what can you do.
It could of been alot worse as I usually have all sorts of mad **** in my bag.

Dude ran over my jamma to xbox adapter?

Better take a pic

Ah only jokin, that sucks

Can those wii /dsi points be used on a 3ds?

No
But, there seems to be plenty of worthy titles on the Wii/DSi shop, which is nice!

That broken jamma makes me think there might be a gap in the market....

"Have your games been damaged and it wasn't your fault?"

In seriousness though that is ****ty, least the guy will replace it

I've been having some great fun with Hydroventure. It has a demo if you want to try it out, it has a world of goo charm to it.

safetyboy

**** one Dave, but that perspex looks amazing so I'm gonna see if you can do a marquee for the egret for me, only if you have the time. I'm gonna look into how they back light the NNC so well so it can work with the Egret. Lucky the xbogz wasn't in the bag too.

Actually there is one feature which I'm dying to try once the servers are up and that's the iPad app. It's basically where you get a top down view of someone's game as the police and you can deploy lots of different weapons and tactics to try and stop them.

Definitely seems like something that'd work really well on the wii u.

Sounds like Zombie U mutipleplayer maybe

How did they manage to run the bag over?
I've a big bag of brass standoffs like these, I can send you down a few for your next one

Those PCB stand off/spacer yolks are really handy to have in abundance . They're what I used to mount a PCB holder over a PCB. (actually I've since dropped it down to 1 spacer in height from two, takes up less room in the cab)



Can 'dual mount' two PCBs to one board

CathalDublin

I got them on ebay, search for m3 hexagonal spacers.
I see they also sell Nylon ones which are probably a better option although my logic was that any static from the perspex would be grounded and not building up

CathalDublin

I need to pick myself up one of those PCB holders

I've been waiting and waiting AND WAITING for this to have a dvd release. For years. Have been watching crappy low quality episodes recorded from the tv for far too long. Even sourcing them was a pain in the arse.

There was a French DVD boxset I was nearly thinking about picking up a while ago. But decided to wait...

One of my favourite cartoons ever.

One of the best intros ever, of anything. :pac:

It's volume 2, so I now have to go and source volume 1.

Love Wheeled Warriors, some great cartoons in the 80s, MASK, GIJOE, Bravestar, Thundercats.. always loved the Transformers though. Started to buy Masterpiece transformers lately after i began to rewatch all the cartoon, expensive but they are great, G1 Cartoon accurate and they transform perfectly into the same vehicles etc from the show.

Apparently this is how the film was going to go;

As to an end to the story...yes, there was one. After the series was over, the head of the studio tried to sell the sponsor on the idea of an animated "Jayce" feature. I was commissioned to write it, and I think it actually came out very well...and very, very intense. Saw Boss was finally destroyed in hand-to-hand combat, Jayce comes through some truly life-changing events, we go back to the world that spawned Oon and Gillian for Jayce's training, he falls in love, someone dies...it was a heck of a story. They couldn't get it made, though, so that was the end of it, though somewhere or other I still have the script.

No mention of his dad though!

edit - actually found a bit more info, turns out his dad is the 'someone who dies' in the above /sob!

I had a fair few of them myself, went missing over the years along with Star Wars toys etc..

This is the originally G1 Toy optimus, as you can see those masterpiece ones above are way better looking, more accurate.

Once I swapped a Turtles card for that Optimus Prime.

My gran made me give it back 10 minutes later

Ah jaysus, stop :P

It should be opened up and used!

Modded Mega Drive arrived today, just tried it out with my new RGB Scart cable.

I'm impressed with how it looks on my HDTV, to be honest, super crisp image.

SirLemonhead

I actually also have a debug xbox motherboard (the ones with 128 megs of ram) but it's in a bog standard black xbox case (dunno what happened the original case) Would anyone want something like that do you guys reckon?

Would be handy for the like of CoinOps... especially where N64 emulation is concerned.

I'm getting a couple 20" BVM's from the UK. I can see if there's more if anyone's interested. The price is between 100-200 sterling depending on condition and extras.

I may be interested in one of them, where are you picking them up from?

I'm getting them from a private seller in the UK. They are getting shipped over to Parcel Motel once I sort out a couple of things. Two 20" BVM's for me and I'll see if there's more. Plenty of PVM's but eBay prices look better on those.

I hadn't really planned on buying it, but when I threw my bid down the current bid was only £26. Couldn't let it go that cheap!

If it arrives working I might need to sell on the beloved 1084s.

Hmm, I need a 1084 and if its an 1084S all the better

Although I already have 6 CRT's of various sorts in my man cave(including the Vectrex, mac classic) and a total of 12 screens including the LCD's

But I definitely need a 1084

The 'S' is far too understated. It should be called 1084STEREO!!! for the sheer amazing sound quality out of the thing.

Will let you dudes know. If I keep the 1084s this will be 4 CRTs in a box room. Kind of getting concerned for my own physical well being at this stage

Will give the Myrddin first dibs as he got there first.
