    This is my exact one. Had the video on the auction.



    Actually no wait, that's the one I was MEANT to get but he sent one with a green backlight instead.

    I was annoyed to begin with, but then realized the green is probably much easier to look at.
    I am very sad, Would love that bad boy!

    The backlight is the killer on these things

    I'm going with Skyward Sword... probably the only game that stands a chance of weening me off Skyrim.

    They have magnets stuck on the back to put them on a whiteboard. Going to do another project where they make backgrounds for em.

    Well, didn't take long for MAME 0.144 to be released (without the CAVE drivers) and then to be recompiled (with the CAVE drivers).

    Pick of the bunch 'it's just not a game anymore'.


    More importantly. Why are megaman games so more than €20! All I want is some boxed gameboy megaman games. Hope Santa reads that.

    Btw can I ask people to stop talking about Dark Souls and Skyrim. I can only buy 2 games this Xmas. That's mario 3d and mario kart 7.
    Hope Santa reads that I need a 3ds as well.

    Anyone having difficulty sticking to one game at the moment or even just finding feckin time to play them all?

    I tested out Skyrim on my lappy last night and it runs perfect. I'd love to start a game, but I'm still currently playing Dark Souls.

    Then there's Shinobi and Mario for the 3DS coming out this week. I also need to pick up Dodonpachi Resurrection and Aliens Infestation.

    To top it all off, they're all modern games. with my Saturn back I want to start giving more time to Radiant Silvergun and start Panzer Dragoon Saga again.

    God damn it, if only humans didn't need to sleep. We'd have so many more hours in the day.


  • Registered Users Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    I appear to be looking at Jaguar games on eBay.
    Im not sure how I got here but I dont like it >_>

    Yes! Whenever I get home from work I'm usually too tired to start up a game of something and then on my days off I usually sleep lots or go out and socialize.


  • Registered Users Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    For me atm is Assassins Creed & Rocksmith (mainly cause im gonna finally learn to play that fcukin guitar if it kills me!!)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,089 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Dark Souls was the first game in ages to hold my undivided attention, and I'm doing fairly well juggling Batman and DoDonPachi (sorry, Uncharted 3 multiplayer).

    I have neglected the excellent Disgaea 4 for a while though - definitely want a few more hours playing that. But as you say, time is a fickle mistress.

    Don't get me started. It's hard enough trying to decide between Assassin's Creed and Zelda for this weekend and then my oh chimes in and says we need the hall, stairs and landing painted as well as all of the interior doors in the house. Really I think they're fine but bitches be crazy.

    Buy her a Nomad. As Atavan always says, bitches loves Nomads.

    Odd how that show never seems to have been repeated over the years. Only remember seeing it when it was first on.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,793 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I'm having trouble as well. Dark Souls has taken over everything. Poor Xenoblade will have to wait until that is finished and Faselei and Dragon Quest IX on the handhelds are sorrowfully neglected. And then thisfriday I'll probably drop everything again for skyward sword. I'm proud of myself for avoiding everything about that game.

    This is the feature I'm looking forward to the most in Skyward Sword:



    Skyrim doesn't have that in it!

    Ah!!! Xenoblade!!! I had a feeling there was another game I was forgetting. I was really enjoying that, but Dark Souls just came up along and kind of kicked everything I'd been playing to the curb.

    As for Faselei, I put it in my NGP to make sure it was working and that was it. Completely forgot I even had that game. Another must play to add to the ever growing list.

    I dont get it :(

    My BLS certification is Basic Life Support or the new name for CPR, I have to redo it every 2 years, in fact everyone should.
    Remember
    Circulation, or start 30 compressions immediately
    Airway, then check airway is open
    Breath, give 2 breaths, you'll see the chest rise..
    then repeat until the emergency services get there.

    The guy in the red PJs is from The Greatest American Hero, a seldom repeated tv show about a reluctant superhero and his CIA handler, William Katt and Robert Culp.
    Very funny and made back in 83 or so.
