Arcade and Retro General Chat in Karkariko Village Tavern: Live Ocarina Music

Atavan-Halen

One of the best bands I've seen live and that's a lot.

Every time I hear the words Limp Bizkit uttered I'm in no uncertain terms reminded that I had incredibly **** taste in music as a teenager :pac:

Although part of me would have been tempted to channel my inner fourteen year old for one night of clean, nostalgic hatefun.

It really was like reliving my youth. My angsty angsty youth.

I also should have fall out boy tickets sorted. Ecstatic Is an understatement.

Nothing beats spending a sick day in bed playing Sonic games perfectly emulated on your mobile with excellent colour reproduction.

I'm starting off with the 3 8-bit Sonic titles on the Master System.

Sonic 1 on the SMS is stunning I think, it feels like a very polished game compared to Sonic 2 and Chaos, and I absolutely adore the bright vibrant colours.

Also scrambled egg zone in Sonic 2 has to be the most ridiculous name for a zone in all the sonic games!

Bought a new 001 jamma loom off a seller over on AO for my blast city, delighted because they aren't that common to pop up.

Got a full refund this morning, says the loom he was was for an astro city and not a blast city

Bugger!

Maybe, but I got this one for 70 dollars shipped, I'd say it would cost me a lot more off him

At least you didn't get it and then find out.

Plan on replacing all the pots and using it then replace all the pots on the original.

Oh stop!
We had to send all the kids home, so got off a bit early, lucky one of the staff lives nearby and gave me a lift home, I was afraid to walk home beside the river.
Did you see all the videos on the news? Not too far from me either

Anyone hear from Myrddin? I remember he removed a couple of struts from his attic when he was converting it recently...

Maybe there's a street in Dublin somewhere covered in videogames :pac:

I still to this day think about that Imagine it, the entire collection ruined or destroyed. Actually I wonder what I'd do in that case, the thoughts of recollecting it all again just seems like something I wouldn't do. Would any of you start again?

Not a chance. I think I'd take it as a sign that my collecting days were over

I would, but I couldn't do it in drips and drabs.
I'd save up and go mad buying back loads of the stuff to replace the lost retro goodness.

Jack burton

I'd just start a campaign on kickstarter to rebuild my collection. A nice sad video with a piano backing.

Have it all back in no time

Great idea There's still lots of stuff I need so I might set up a fake one now...

Atavan-Halen

I dunno, I'd probably buy back my favourites but I'd more than likely just leave it or very gradually build another collection.

Yeah I think I'd get a Snes & Megadrive back. Maybe what Steve said about saving up, then going on a splurge would work...trip to the US for tons of cheap carts etc

Eeep, sorry about that!
I posted it on my android phone, and it looked fine in my browser, but mobile browsers must automatically resize the images on the page!

I'll install an image resizer to save further embarrassment.

In my defense I only have the phone a month and its my first touch screen phone believe it or not!

We corkonians are fierce slow on the uptake sure!

Starting to get into this cloud storage thing and backing up roms atm.

Has anyone ever signed up for the free 10, I repeat 10 TB's of free storage on Tencent Cloud?

http://www.weiyun.com/act/10t-en.html?WYTAG=weiyun.portal.index


They're a fairly huge company in China, now whether or not you trust them with your storage is another thing!

But for the likes of non personal stuff like roms, music, video etc.. it would be grand.

I signed up with one of my dud email addresses that they can spam to hell for all I care!

This would be perfect to use as a secondary backup to Sky Drive, Dropbox etc..

Not quite sure how long it could last though!

Doge

Okay, one major drawback of Tencent is that the Desktop and mobile apps are currently in Chinese only!

You could probably use the desktop app fine without having to read chinese,
simple case of dragging and dropping to the folder!

Not sure if the apps will be so easy to use though haha!

The Web interface is in English.

Steve X2

Wonder what the catch is?
Upload speed, size limits etc. Still, I just signed up :0)

It said the filesize limit is 32GB!

I reckon the speed isn't that great surely, have yet to test it though.

2 other Chinese companies are offering 1TB storage apparently...

You could always keep yourself busy with a bit of retro cross stiching by candle light.

I always thought the Mega Drive 1 Audio Cable could do with a Right Angled 3.5mm plug instead of the straight connector that Console Goods and Retro Computer Shack make.

Looks like Retro Computer Shack have updated theirs with the right angled connector:

http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Sega-Megadrive-1-High-Quality-RGB-Gold-Scart-Lead-TV-AV-Cable-Stereo-NEW-/260926939448?pt=UK_Video_Games_Cables_and_Adaptors&hash=item3cc0752138





I bought 3 cables from the chap a good while back, 1 was custom made, and he gave me a discount.

I think they're that bit fancier than what console goods offers as they're labelled with stickers and are also thicker.

The gold plating is a nice touch too, even though it makes no difference whatsoever to the signal.
The one cable they don't do is the SNES / Famicom RGB Scart, so its best to buy one from console goods.

Jaysus, I never knew a remake of Shadow Warrior came out, let alone was in development!

Anyone here play it?

Had to give Retr0's thread a bump.

I really enjoyed playing it. Only stopped because I was enjoying Rise of the Triad so much.

So if anyone walks into a retail store today and sees a scruffy unkempt bloke behind the counter, give him a hug and a cookie. Also coffee.

Scruffy...unkempt.... Behind a counter..cookies and coffee. You just described my life!

On another note, I just gave the chap in the clothes shop beside me a hug and an americano, I have a funny feeling it wasn't you though
