No, it's the suck ass Panasonic FZ-10 and no FZ-1 to speak of.
Therefore this collection goes from "Awesome gamer who has a gorgeously displayed collection" to "Some guy who lives close to Ikea, Maplins and doesn't know which 3DO to buy and so should be relegated to Gamesville for all eternity" or something like that.....

I give this guy 1G!

But he's not going to bang his head on the roof though, is he now?

Pretty much perfect, except for one thing. Any retro enthusiast worth their salt will know what...

I was going to say no Vectrex!


Still though, its like a bloody console museum what he has!

EnterNow wrote: »

Nope, look at the amount of consoles there that would look like absolute balls on a 16:9 flatscreen

Fake scanlines or not, an NES does not work well with such a display

So true.

Although it would be hard enough to wall mount a 32" trinitron!

Has anyone ever had a 16 9er before?

EnterNow wrote: »

Eh have you seen Pyongy's designer CRT?? Wall mounting is for shmucks

Nope! Saw the rotatable LCD thingy alright.

You'd need a concrete wall I'd say?

Could you imagine the weight, especially with the Widescreen Trinotrons.

Handy to have a widescreen for PS games, I just switch mine to 4:3 for the older shtuff.

Haha, imagine trying to wallmount that Trinitron I got from yourself Enternow! It'd pull your whole house down to the ground.

That was at 20 today and I was full sure I would get it with a proxy bid of 60 before I went to work...

I really wanted it but not enough to justify 120 bones on it

I was going to bid on it too. Then it just got silly!

Same happened yesterday with a Sega retailer clock

Also the latest japanese videogame charts have thrown up the best named game ever:

Conception: Please Give Birth to My Children!

For PSP.

OVULATE!

Place works fine sitting down.
It's like a cross between Retrogaming nirvana and the work place from Being John Malkovich!

I'm just still sore from when I got overly excited while playing Burn:cycle and banged my head.

Just came across this neat tumblr

Good few in there I did not know...

Does anyone know of a good website or app that I can use to make a very large map out of a bunch of images? It's for this DayZ game that a few of use are playing.

The map itself would be fairly large and any service I've found online only lets you do small ones.
At the moment I'm just stitching them together in Photoshop but that probably wont be ideal as the final image would be huge and impossible to open on systems with small amount of RAM. Plus it would be handy to have a zoom-able Google Maps type interface on it.

Small sample of what I'm on about. This is a tiny part of the overall map:

Sorry, only thing I can think of that comes near is Google Maps Downloader, but the source for that isn't open as far as I know.

I've been working off this map:

Which seems to use this:

http://www.openlayers.org/

That map looks pretty decent actually and much better than any I've seem.
You can see the one I'm working on is a bit more detailed(from the in-game map you find some times). I'll definitely check out that open layers and see if it will work for me.

Battlefield 3 NES Edition

I was thinking... "I wonder what BF3 would be like with NES sound effects." So I made this.
Sounds are from Contra and Top Gun, music is from Journey to Silius(Title Screen) and Batman(Stage 4 Part 1).
PC Version incase you were going to ask.

Anyone ever see this? (Maybe you all have and I'm late to the party!)

Street Fighter 2 in a Father Ted episode is actually the Megadrive Beta version (the game was then delayed and fixed up as it didn't look so good)

videotape imo.

Interesting. I just tweeted Mr Linehan to see if he has any idea :pac:

Bah! Do you extend that same thinking out to on rail light gun games? You have no taste

Starfox 64 is too great a game for Ciderman to enjoy. It's not mediocre enough :P

Finally! A man WITH taste!

I guess you're right, the pinnacle of gaming to him is what, Firewarrior on the PS2 and driving games without reverse cameras?

Still, it sounds superb, nice find!

Now I have to buy BF3!

Yeah, BF3 is worth getting. I enjoy it more than the COD games although I've not played it in a while now.
You need to get in on this DayZ mod for Arma 2 that a few of us are playing, its the shizzle
I'm on day 3 of a life now and it's tough going but worth it.

Agree with this. FPS is not normally my thing but DayZ is brilliant. Playing it the last two nights with some boardsies and it's great fun. Shame the servers are such a pain to get into sometimes though.

Yeah, it's a shame about the servers but I suppose its an alpha release.

The devs of Arma 2 said they'd help out the DayZ modder(who works for them anyway) when they release the next patch for the full game. So not sure what that means but they obviously are happy about the 500 percent increase in sales since this DayZ mod was released.

On a side note, I've been playing Sniper Elite v2 on the PC the last few nights and its great silly mindless fun(with great silly mindless kill shots )

Can't really post some of the kill shots here but this one is fairly harmless:
