The only one I considered buying was this one



But 50+ for a vest thats just an official artowkr copy and paste.....jog on

The next time someone posts this kind of filth on this forum there'll be bans, Bans I tell's ya!

And, by the way, I believe a mullet and handlebar moustache are mandatory to wear that top.

That blue one isn't too bad actually. One thing that bugs me about all three is the picture of the cartridge - the top right corner is messed up, way too pointy. I know they're just representations but still, can't 'un-see' it now. The images look fine on a market-share leading peasant tablet. :P

You know I never noticed the pointy corner of the cartridge!

Now my tee is ruined!






Need to take that again with me doing a thumbs down!

One side of the cart looks like a pal one (pointy) and the other side kind of looks like a Japanese one.

Can't help but notice the two of each console on the desk behind you.
Weirdo!

Running a new radio series in work at the moment you guys might be interested in. It's about experimental music and chip tunes.

Episode 2 deals with video game culture:

Sounds very interesting. Will give this series a listen for sure.

What else are you covering in the series? Anything under the IDM banner? It would be great to hear a properly constructed piece about artists such as Battles, Venetian Snares, Aphex Twin, Kid 606 etc.

Heck, you could even explore Moog, Moroder et al with a big piece on synths. I recall watching an amazing video of The Edgar Winter Group from 1973 where the performance stood out to me for four reasons:

1. The bassist looked a bit 'too' excited throughout the song. He was also wearing a cravat.

2. The other bloke on guitar looks like Keith Cheguin who's just finished a P.E. lesson and forgot to get changed.

3. There is a man wearing a cape in it.

4. Said cape-wearing man proceeds to spend about 7 minutes fiddling with a synth.


Oh look, here it is:

...and to expand further on the aforementioned. It would appear that video is so amazing (which it genuinely is), that someone has painstakingly produced a minute-by-minute analysis of said video.

It's all about the man in a cape. Impressive.

Don't know too much about the content but the upcoming episode titles are: 'Taking Toys Apart', 'The Hacker in the Gallery', 'The Instrument of the Law' and 'Postcards from the Edge'

Taking Toys Apart'

Sounds like circuit-bending kiddy Casio's? Or those bizarre Russian toy keyboards that are ripe for modding.

p.s: I think you should produce the whole show while wearing a cape.

DinoRex

I'm hoping to pull together a plan for a retro collecting and gaming in Ireland documentary series. May be towards the end of the year, but I'll be sure to hassle you all to take part.

DinoRex

hahaha...

Just after reading that now. Genuinely saddened, he was one of my comedy heroes growing up. Absolutely loved Bottom and The Young Ones.

Some great appearances in Black Adder too.

Time to fire up some Hogs of War in memory!

Ah, do you not remember the original post I made with that pic a few weeks ago?


http://touch.boards.ie/thread/post/90344916

I see you liked the original post so you must have forgot about it!

I know the feeling though, my memory has deteriorated big time in the last year and I'm only after hitting 30!

The 30 second trailer that is likely to win E3. Now that's a retro art style to write home about (sample letter: "Hey ma, check out this retro art style!")

Little early to be claiming victory what with The Last Guardian to come later.

But it certainly looked more interesting (and colourful) than all the first person shooters on show. Inside and Ori looked ok but didn't think much of the MS presentation overall, certainly nothing to warrant buying an Xbox One.

Yup
That's what I have done, with a US N64 and a PAL psu.

Can anyone help me with setting up my Vecflash? I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff. Any good guides online? I can't seem to find anything

Edit: Think I've figured it out!

CiDeRmAn

AGT, also known as All Good Things, Vecmania and Vectopia, these are homebrew compilations.
Rockaroids in the AGT one is simply my favourite Vectrex game, a near perfect port of Asteroids and the only way to play it on a vector monitor this side of an original cabinet.
Look around a bit and find them all for free

Starfox WiiU

Optimus Prime

Im really tempted to pick up a WiiU, i haven't bought any of the current gen consoles. Its the wife's Birthday next month... think she might be getting one..

I decided a few weeks ago that this household is definitely getting a Wii-U this year (zero interest in Xbox and PS4 can wait now with no TLG on the horizon). Just waiting to see if there are any new bundles or price drops.

I was planning on getting Mario 3D World, New Super Mario U + Luigi U and Nintendoland (probably via Mario Kart 8). Just need to decide on the cheapest route to get them all. :pac:

I read a really interesting article there about how Starfox always seems to need a 'gimmick' to succeed.

The Super FX Chip, the rumble pack, 3D feature etc - most of the other games have been pants.

Hopefully this is a turning point for the WiiU. If new Starfox and Metroid games come out then I think that'll have to be by queue to pick one up.

MK8 is a great laugh,

only rail shooter i had interest in was house of the dead series and time crisis.

Andrew76

Is it actually a good game or does it just have a lot of nostalgia factor for folks? Never played it myself I don't think. On-rails shooters wouldn't be my cup of tea either (if it is one of them).

o1s1n

It's on rails, but not really the same as HOTD, Time Crisis and Virtual cop. They're on rails light gun games.

These are on rails shooters like the Panzer Dragoon games, Galaxy Force II, REZ, Child of Eden etc

They can be great when done right.

ah i forgot about panzar dragoon :O

yeah they are great but I hold judgement till i see the digital event at least , wii u is dry for games as it is I hope it intrigues me

DinoRex

Having come to the N64 about a decade too late Starfox 64 was one of the few games I felt really held up and was a huge amount of fun to play.
