some anonymous bid donated 500 dollars only to be trolled by no other than Markus Persson AKA Notch who donated 10,000 :pac: what a d1ck :pac:

DinoRex

Did you see the guy who beat Super Mario Bothers with the lowest possible score of 500 points?

richymcdermott

yeah that was mental

DinoRex

I'm going on radio programme tomorrow evening at 6 in the city centre to talk about the retro podcast and retro gaming in general, if anyone else wants to come along then let me know.

Yeah I'd be up for that! What station?

DinoRex

It's new online only station called Radio Made.

http://www.radiomade.ie/

The programme is called Threat Detection. It's quite good.

Retr0gamer

Good luck with it tomorrow. I can only really Skype in tonight if you need me since I'm in Sligo

I can contribute but unfortunately I am expert in bugger all, and therefore perhaps not the most use in this endeavour

Just come in and talk about your collection and what got you started.

Must have missed that! All i heard was "of course i'll bid for my own gain".

Am i missing something?

tbh I didn't listen to the whole video but going by Richies comment he was trolling a smaller donation. If he didn't I stand corrected but if he did it's pretty childish imo. A donation is a donation after all irrespective of its size.

Just watched it from the start again, and Notch doesn't mention a single thing about other donations.

Just because he had more money to offer doesn't automatically mean he's trolling smaller donations. Looking at comments on youtube and reddit, nobody else has accused him of this.

Reading up on him, he has been quite charitable in the past too.
Cannot for the life of me see how someone could turn this into a negative thing.
Fair play to him.

Retr0gamer

He's always at the top of the big spenders for the humble bundles as well.

Jesus I thought people would of figured out my comment was nothing more than light hearted , like I added two laughing icons.

Don't think I'll make it unfortunately, tales of my adventures sucking at videogames for the past 30 years will have to wait.

'Back in my day all I had was a digital representation of a tyre and a stick on a PDP-1 vector monitor. That was all I needed. Young'uns today with their QTE's and MMO's and FPS don't know how good they have it today.'

World of Warcraft was in black and white and only came on for 3 hours a day.

Sounds like Retro Game Master film is a disaster: http://kotaku.com/the-retro-game-master-movie-is-a-great-episode-but-a-te-1530289446

Unfortunately, these sort of pointless TV adaptations are having a really negative effect on the quality of films getting into Japanese cinemas these days

Don't blame a dog for ****ting on the ground, blame the scumbag owner for not cleaning it up.

Some people around these parts would say that about regular looking Sonic too.

Retr0gamer

Gotta go fast!

Jack burton

He's missing his bandages!

CiDeRmAn

Old man arms there, I'd say that Sonic smells of wee and soup....

DinoRex

I may have had a bit of a go at Sonic games in that interview yesterday.

It went well though... upstairs in Grogan's is exactly what you'd imagine it to look like.

Retr0gamer

Is there anywhere I can download it and have a listen?

DinoRex

Should be up here later on and on iTunes soon after:

http://www.radiomade.ie/podcasts/160

It's a pretty good show. Proper serious video game discussion.

DinoRex

That's up now:

Also this is apparently a thing you can buy now:



Unfortunately it only has a top speed of 2.5mph, I'm pretty sure I walk at a speed of about 4mph and I am not a fast walker.
