Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Bionic commandos head explosion
Narc
Smash tv I think was pre mortal Kombat
Snatcher was heavy on the gore, first released in 1988.
The Japanese fist of the North Star games
The ultima games could get pretty gory as well. You will probably find a lot of PC games that were gory or visual novels.

I'll check out the Colosseum.
I'll only be down Saturday and heading home Sunday morning anyway.(i will be hungover to ****!)
If you're ever in Cork again and want to meet up sure let me know!
If youre out drinking you should definitely go to the Vicarstown and have a bash off that arcade cabinet.
Its connected to the bar next door called BDSM, which plays alternative, rock and metal, its a really cool place and only open less than a year.
BTW, BDSM in this case stands for Black Dog Saloon & Mezcalaria which is the name of the pub.
No doubt STG.Otaku will get excited in his gentelmans area when he sees those 4 letters!

Yep, the decapitations in Barbarian on the Speccy was the first time I ever witnessed proper videogame gore. Thought it was great
The Immortal is another one worth mentioning. Some very gory death animations in that one.0 -

Ya I think Colosseum(LeisurePlex) is all their really is.
Its mostly Twin Racers and Shooters. About 20 Cabs.
SR2\Ferrari Challange\Daytonas, MaxTune and mario Karts need work done to them.
Few of Mitches 60-1 and such in odd bar or 2, like Vicarstown.
Nice bar for drink anyways
Also have holiday more places, trabulgan and youghal.
Only other arcade in Cork is probably my house haha 0 -

So when is the grand opening of "The New Savoy!"
You could charge people entry!
You should definitely consider throwing a beers sometime, I live with the folks and have only a modest collection so my place wouldnt be suited to large groups.0 -
Heh. Speak for (the Star Wars fans) themselves. I think 15 years of anger greatly outclasses a brief annoyance over an old ending theme.
Honestly, I think that Episode VI was a bit naff overall. You got a reused plot element in the form of another Death Star, you've got those ewoks who were prototype Jar Jar's in trying to get stupid characters to appeal to kids, an overly long first act, the Stormtroopers sucking even more than usual at their job, and then stuff like this.Yeah, it's better alright, but then the Ewok thing treaded a very fine line between acceaptable and twee sh1te.
Yeah, it's a toss up between this and Episode II as the worst of the series, for me.The recent remake, such a terrible waste of time. Like the Total Recall remake that went before it all it did was damage the legacy of the great movie that went before it.
All they ace done with Robocop was either clean it up, maybe update the stop motion with CGI or, even better, just leave it alone!
Why was there even a three boobed hooker in the movie when it doesn't even show a mutant colony ever having existed in the first place?Jack burton wrote: »I didn't watch either of those. So glad I didnt! Films like that have only one redeeming feature. When they make reference or have a little nod to the original. But then it just makes you wish you were watching the original
There was this video (which seems to have disappeared off of YouTube altogether, unfortunately), which showed Obi Wan stepping on a Lego brick. I think you can piece together the rest of the vid yourself.@ Dinorex - I actually like that howl, makes up for the prequels in my view.
Also, rewatched the Final Cut of Blade Runner last night, because I was unable to sleep...good god, what a hell of a movie it was.0 -

Ha, sounds interesting...what's it like?
I really enjoyed it. Did the jailbreak puzzle, in which the team is handcuffed together. You have an hour to get out, took us about 45-50 minutes (yes, we had several of those 'AAHHH!' moments you get in point and click games). If you get stuck, you're offered clues slipped under the door I'd go into specifics, but there's no fun in that for anyone who intends on actually going
They have a half price offer going at the moment on some of the rooms if you quote their Facebook deal, although think it's only valid until the weekend.
The place itself is located in a non-descript industrial park - it's funny walking up the stairs and seeing that all the standard offices in the building have been converted into elaborate puzzles!0 -

Stop what I d give for time machine and go into Savoy one last time in 1990s.
3 Floors of old school woodies cabs. Its was the business,
and the longest indoor slide in europe.
Actually beers some night later this year mightnt be a bad idea.
If 2 more cabs to fix up and then ill have proper gameroom 0 -

Meant to be a throwback to Mortal Kombat style fighters, but now there seems to be significant evidence that the game doesn't exist. A writer over at Kotaku has been trying to download his copy - the game has apparently actually been released - for weeks now and keeps getting put through all these weird steps and delays. Stranger still the game is being made by a low budget Italian horror movie studio :pac:
The latest update is worth a read just for the sheer oddness of the situation: http://kotaku.com/i-bought-this-game-two-weeks-ago-and-i-still-can-t-pla-1582829826
I saw a few updates of the game a few months ago. The fighting engine looked absolutely appalling. Also the fatalities really take things too far in the gore stakes. Mortal Kombat has always been tongue in cheek but the fatalities in this verge on torture porn to me.

My 3ds has given up the ghost and doesn't seem to want to connect to the internet or to another 3ds.
How will I access the stuff I downloaded from the eshop on another system if I can't do a system transfer?
I haven't downloaded much but I did get all the fire emblem stuff and would like to actual play it.
Ring customer support and they can do it from there. It's a pain in the ass but no other way to do it.
