    Rez a twin stick game btw? Think I played a demo of it on 360 but never gave it a chance really.

    How dare you lump Rez in with the FPS of downloadable games, the increasingly boring genre of twin stick shooters. Rez is an into the screen music based shooter and an absolute thing of beauty.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,009 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    I know what type of game it is, I was just asking about the controls.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,522 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Andrew76 refers to Rez as a twin stick shooter?
    I think you'll find my chap at the door with your coat, hat and cane, this club is no longer open to you, I trust you will find other arrangements at a venue with.. lower standards of admission.
    Good day to you sir!


    Oh, and on a brighter note,
    Went to see Tintin this evening with wife and boy, it was excellent!
    Everything Indy used to be before George got his sticky mitts on the scripts, it was packed with action, had a story that made some sense, it had a great cast and was beautifully animated.

    I can't wait to see the next one!

    For Retr0gamer and Ciderman:

    I couldn't remember what kind of control scheme it used, never once said it was a shooter. :rolleyes:

    Retrogamers: Know your genres! It's a Dreamcast game, it should have been obvious. Twin Sticks on a DC? Not unless you have forked out for the special stick for Virtual On Oratorio my dear boy :P

    Always one to back the underdog me....it should be noted Andrew has a Candy Cab. Its an arcade cab, of which neither of you two connoisseurs possess ;)

    That HD version for the 360 must have been a figment of my imagination so. You know, then one I said I played a demo of.

    That was actually the reason I was asking, I was curious if the 360 version would work on a cab controller wise.

    It exists alright. It also still only uses one stick so will be fine for a candy cab.

    Started working on a Game Boy color earlier this evening.
    Got dragged away and forced to watch the X Factor and then on for a good few pints.

    Now back at my desk and have this to sort out.

    Dump it in a press or continue working while under the influence?

    How steady is your hand for whatever you're doing to it? :) Fix or a mod?

    Just about to start some pad hack work myself (thanks again EnterNow), decided to use a terminal strip after all.

    Double bacon & egg! Not mad on the sausage. Bacon rolls are too dry :P

    Just a clean and prep for the new screen cover I have coming next week.

    Also the controls needed some lubrication so I did that as well as some new battery contacts.

    Its from that large haul of retro stuff I got last week.
    Just needs a little love and it'll be perfect.

    I hope the screen cover coming next week is better than the Nomad screen cover I got the other day. Really low quality it is.

    Kana Little Sister is fantastic. I'm also being being serious, it's a really good eroge title, very moving (take the mickey if you's want!).

    Just a minor correction.

    Saus & Egg is way nicer, plus the bacon rolls are dry...but thats what ketchup is for man.

    Went to see it with the family myself, the animation is excellent nice storyline and action packed from start to finish, what surprised me was how faithful to the source material it tried to be I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere as good as it was:D

    Watched Senna last night and as a huge fan of the man I can only say I was slightly dissappointed by the movie, it was like a lazer beam focusing on himself and Prost with little or no mention of the epic battles he had with Mansel and other drivers.

    does anybody know where I can get a replacement LCD screen for the original Gameboy DMG-001 as I want to repair my old one I've had since 1989 (ish).
    I can't seem to find one anywhere:(

    Email Tim from Rewind Bits, he may be able to source one for you. He certainly won't mind you asking anyway

    Any impressive gaming Halloween costumes this year? Was at a box social last night and one girl was dressed as fire suit Link, including bomb bag and cotton bud Navi sellotaped to her hat. No boomerang though, which was a missed opportunity.

    Had intended full on Vincent from Catherine costume, but unfortunately all the clothes I needed had mysteriously disappeared / never existed. I just wore the t-shirt that came with the special edition as a sad compromise.
