LOL, sad but true, this you, me, EVERYBODY (guys who like games that is )

Game Stars -- MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

We went there after one thing. One shot, one specific photograph, one moment of magic -- and got it. Was it a booth babe's pants? An ironic photo of a man taking an ironic photo of men taking photos of girls? No. It was this. We couldn't believe our eyes, and luck, at seeing a wild Retro-Man in his natural habitat.




If you like retro games, this is you. Even if you are thin, this is you on the inside. You will forever be morbidly obese and playing Tron in the minds of women.

I await the abuse. (and no that isn't me in the picture)

Sorry what's your point?

Retr0gamer

I'd spell it out for you but a picture is worth a thousand words.

Unless you are blind but then how could you type so well? I think you just need glasses.

Sorry I must be slow today, all I see a fat guy playing Tron.
Edit: Is it because he is playing the retro game at a games conference surrounded by new shiny games? There is nothing wrong with that.

Lol...

Nice post!

Retr0gamer, as if we'd sink to that level. No, I'll be nice. I'll gain your trust and then kill you in your sleep, or when you're playing the last level of R-type delta (similar state of awareness). Then your games collection will be mine!

Hmm, maybe I should seriously consider putting that PAL copy of Suikoden 2 under lock and key.

Off side... the stand in the background is Joystick Junkies' stand - they sell t-shirts, and also run club nights with games in London.

I do believe it was 'people who play videogames are big fat nerds.' And they probably smell.

Tron was cool.

Bruce Boxleitner is one of the really great actors of our time.

I find that no matter how many times my friends and family see me playing GTA, Ico, my PSP, DS, playing the greatest, deepest and most beautiful games the world has to offer, they still see a bespectacled geek either playing pacman or typing in crap programs on a spectrum48k, on a black and white portable tv.
Its just that despite the popularisation of gaming by Sony and to a lesser extent Microsoft and the forcing of gaming into the mainstream there is still a huge swathe of society that wants nothing to do with our sort thank-you-very-much, and nothing will convince them otherwise, you might as well be spending all day in your room masturbating and posting to Star Trek forums to be any less in their minds. (not that there is anything wrong with Star Trek forums!)

The fact that you knew that distresses me.

Pigman II

Megablast was a tune by Bomb the Bass that was allowed to be used in Xenon2. So technically BB are using BtB not Xenon as far as I understand it.

That said tho the tune itself is actually a reworking of the theme from the movie Assault on Precinct 13 so many people have a claim on it.

Why?? it was a great tune lol...the bitmap brothers always had great music in thier games, like 'into the wonderful' in the Gods intro. Bitmap brothers rocked

Regarding the Megablast tune by Bomb the Bass, its actually a lifted sample from the soundtrack of John Carpenters Assault on Precient 13, and I know i spelled that wrong!
