A tenner.

Looking forward to picking it up too. Wish it'd been released on 3DS too - games like that are better suited to handhelds I think.

I noticed a 3DS game shaped package appeared under the christmas tree yesterday.

Hopefully my hints 'Link' and 'Green' weren't misinterpreted.

Some Palm Springs CD-i goodness?

The Last Bandit

Seen a couple of copies of PS4 Killzone in the pre-owned bin in Smiths Navan yesterday, didn't take'm long to blast thru that one.

CiDeRmAn

Maybe she'll get you some accessories to go along with...

Now wouldn't that be fetching!

That's what I wear whenever I slap PGA II into the megadrive..
Actually ...in one of the recent tiger woods games, your avatar could wear whatever you wanted ..EXCEPT when you were playing Augusta , which enforced their dress code ..ON THE GAME!, and you had to wear a members jacket....

Seems the game I worked on is up on the App store:

Wish I was getting money for it!

Fair play to ya. Nothing to do with you but the picture of the kid (Harry?) - the way they drew his teeth makes him look like a vampire!

Was that new job you started in programming too? What kind?

The Last Bandit

You build in the konami code ?

Retr0gamer

Nope, I'm working as a lecturer in chemistry and biology now. Only covering maternity leave though, would love if it was permanent

I wonder, if attention to detail is EAs thing, if in their classic course edition, they allow only white male player characters to play on the courses. Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden and all that

Even if it is a maternity cover, that's some damn fine experience to stick on your CV.

Who knows, maybe you'll escape Sauron's grasp in the near future

Of you can get Atavan up there for the weekend he could do you a solid and get a whole lot more maternity leave to come your way.

Also, just looked for walking directions from the Shire to Mordor in Google maps and got the classic reply, I know it's an old one but it was worth it for a chuckle

I know Edge has its critics around here, but I laughed aloud at their awarding of 'Best 3DO game of the year' to Lococycle!

I'm still shocked at how terrible it looks. Ridge Racer 7 looks better, for god's sake!

Someone should stick that on the PS4 vs Xbox One thread in the games forum, they could do with a dose of reality.

There's a Game Center CX special of Arino challenging NES Remix and getting humiliated by children.

"Do you guys have any statistics on how many of those people go to Star Trek conventions?".

Ugh... feck off. I thought this was 2013? The quicker those kinds of attitudes die out the better.

Anyway in other news I finally found a decent use for my Kinect whilst cleaning up tonight:

Lads I'm going to use parcel motel for the first time and have a lickle query.
How does payment work?

Do you top up your PM account with €3.50 first, and then order?

They actually don't really make thus clear on the site, in fact there's no mention of it in the video!

You can do that, or if you just link a card to your account, it'll take the €3.50 when they receive it.

Thanks for the confirmation man!
No retro goodness on order, just some stuff from Amazon.
I'm only saving a few euro but I reckon it will get here faster than going through An Post, especially at this time of year.

Yep. It's hugely faster. Stuff will even arrive on a Saturday.

Some of those later stars in Mario Galaxy are a beetch.
That Dreadnaught level is a stinker.
Need another 9 stars though before that spaceship gets powered up.
Exciting times.

Thats on my Christmas 'to finish' list. Finished Skyway sword today, it was excellent, although getting the hylian shield was a bit of a chore I loved it from start to finish.

Galaxy I'm sure I have a lot done but looking forward to diving in again

CiDeRmAn

I've barely looked at Skyward Sword, not even got into the first dungeon.
I bought it, my Wii died and, even though I bought another Wii a short time later, I never went back to it.
My son is some distance into it, though he's since been distracted by OoT on the 3ds.

So, the buttons on my Vectrex controller seem to have stopped working.
The stick is fine but not a jot out of the four buttons.
Any ideas round these parts?

When I saw this it reminded me of Avatan:

No idea how those are built but would assume they are like a lot of other controllers. Disassemble it and check the rubber button contact parts are not rotten. Check and clean the pcb and reflow the solder if needed. Might just be dull dry solder.

I'd say someone must sell spares somewhere.
