€12 for a 32 piece set. Failing that, any hardware shop should carry them.


EDIT: Apologies I meant this one:

€5.29 and has a T20 in it. Should do the job. Head over to Parnell Street and pick that sucker up.

Spent a good while in this tonight on the Oculus Rift DK2. Pretty awesome I have to say
It runs a lot smoother than in the video(as I was capturing it via Fraps). Need a hefty machine to do it justice on the rift though.

Holy crap they improved that since the last time I looked at it!

Guys can any of you advise me quickly please, can I pick up a tork t20 screwdriver in Dublin city centre this morning on the cheap? I know I can get the tiny tork screwdrivers in pound shops but can I get one of these somewhere? Wanna open my original xbox and give it a proper clean out today.

Any help is very much appreciated! !

almost all the multi driver bit sets have them these days, euro shops, mcquillans, argos, aldi, lidl, etc

No, it's "Steve X2"



I didn't want my new username to take up more space on the boards servers than my old one, so I kept it the same length(and format)

Play retro games for Red Cross at Stockholm Arlanda and Göteborg Landvetter

With these famous arcade video games, we make our airports even more inspiring. We want to give our passengers a fun experience at the airport while also making it possible to contribute to Red Cross operations

I found out about it through this

Battery number 2 done :-D

Finally plucked up the courage to try my own copy of Pokemon Gold. I feel both happy and relieved!

A pretty big fan translation project was released recently. Miles Edgeworth investigations 2 has received the final translation patch. So far it's the only not officially translated version of the game.

DinoRex

Really enjoying Resident Evil: Revelations 2.

Half way through episode 3 and it just keeps getting better and better.

Lots of cool twists at the end of the episodes. And tonnes of references for fans of the series. Episode 3 has been pretty puzzle heavy as well.

Definitely a way better game than Evil Within.

More stuff like this please, Capcom!

Missed this last year!

Is there to be a full physical release?
I'll probably wait for that.

DinoRex

Yep. There'll be a full disc release once all the episodes are out there.

Think next week is that last episode. 4 episodes each with about 3 hours in them... Raid mode is pretty good fun as well though.

Game really looks like it comes into it's own in co-op... seems like they've finally nailed it.

The disk label is missing. It should say 'X Copy 3' on it.

Highly recommend Ori and the Blind Forest for anybody interested. Took me a while to warm to it (well apart from its beautiful visuals and stunning opening sequences) because it is undoubtedly derivative in many respects. But it has grown into a very accomplished 'Metroidvania' game with very nuanced platforming and level design. Also provides a fair old challenge too, unlike some of the other games that have dabbled with the formula.

What platform is it out for? Thought it was an Xbox One exclusive?

Is our bad that I find Resogun more comfortable on the PS3 than the PS4?
Half the frame rate, a quarter of the sparkly particles all over the place, or is it just in my head?

The particles I can maybe understand - maybe - but the frame rate?!

I am too spoiled by the PS4, I don't know when I have it good!
Maybe it just feels a little old school, the games format reflects an earlier age of gaming, one of uprights, dark arcades and old men in the corner who were, I think, fumbling with change in their pockets.
Anyway.
I'm sure I'm wrong.
Haven't played it on the Vita yet either.


What's this about Gamer Cards though?
When were they handed out?
How did I miss it?

Is there some initiation involving Golden Axe??

Picked up an Xbox One this afternoon for €200 so downloading Ori right now.

Then I'll have to get D4 and then... eh... can't think of anything else I'd want an Xbox One for.
