Are they really that unknowledgeable in there? I've never been to the store but didn't expect this to be the case.
Usually when someone runs a business for a niche market, they're pretty knowledgeable or at least in my experience anyways.
Me: Hi, umm, do you sell VMUs? You know, for the Dreamcast?
Friendly Guy behind Counter: Sure.
FGbC produces an unboxed VMU in nice enough, (though the lid is vanished to the realm of odd socks).
Me: Oh, cool. So, how much are they?
FGbC: €10
Me: "...Oooh. Ummm. I'll think about it, thanks."
!?!
?!
They've nice staff there, genuinely likeable. But sometimes the pricing makes me wonder if I just walking in on a Monty Python sketch. Considering boxed, near-mint VMUs, with new batteries start from £0.99 / €1.21 on Amazon.co.uk I think that price was, ahem, on the steep side, even if delivery is a few euro extra.
I don't know if it was that they weren't knowledgeable on the going rate of one common Dreamcast peripheral or whether people really will pay that much rather than wait a few days for delivery from an online store. I know they've higher overheads, but... wow.0 -

No, I wouldn't burn it, just make him watch as others play it and mock it, all whilst conducting a reading, with a Powerpoint visual aid, of the Edge 6/10 review..
Not only would there be blood seeping from his ears but something browner seeping in the pants dept.
Oh Retr0, what would we do without you to abuse, there really aren't enough pantry owning types here to take up the "most slagged" mantle, nor are there enough hipsters, although I think Dino is sailing quite close to this one, or so my spys tell me!0 -

Yep. I'd watch Retr0 give a powerpoint presentation on why Legend of Dragoon sucks. Who wouldn't?
I only need one slide:
Amusingly the crappy facebook app my iPhone keeps assigning your face to their updates. It's disconcerting.
Well I said LoD was a terrible game but I also said it was one that people are willing to pay a lot of money for. I think it was more when some commented on how their games looked crap on an LCD screen when they were trying to sell composite cables and I left a comment talking about the virtues of RGB scart over stinking composite was the straw that broke the camels back

Kind of reminds me of an episode of Cribs when some nobody rapper was showing MTV around and he was showing off his arcade cabinet. He said it had every arcade game ever made built into it and he paid $60,000 for it.... for a mame cab.

To be honest, Puzzle Bobble 2 is where it's at.
After that they started adding bells and whistles, weighted platforms, special bubbles with various new powers, just kinda diluted the mix.
The first one is superb, but the second on decanted the best and added just enough, later iterations just over egged it, in my opinion.
I actually think Puzzle Bobble 2 is a step too far. The purity of the first game is where it's at.That said Taito is Taito and, if it's reasonable, any silicon with it's logo is probably worth owning.
Other than Darius, that game give R-type Final a run for it's money in the most boring shmup category.........

i seen it, not sure what scene you are talking about though and i downloaded it myself.
Hmm, not sure how to word it without getting to graphic for this forum.
Well there is the scene where that guy wipes that stuff from that girls mouth after she was entertaining that other guy with said mouth.
Sex scenes are ten a penny these days on TV but HBO are really going for it with Game of Thrones.
Edit:
No ban for my description please mods
It's as clean as I could make it.

Hmm, well considering George R R Martins obsession with describing things and places as smelling of, well, hmm, man juice I'm glad we have more sexy scenes and less (but not none) scenes of people sitting and talking about said smells.
To be honest the more sexy scenes the merrier if you ask me
But you are right, even in the last ep there was a sex scene that wasn't in the book.

In the brothel (okay not a sex scene but that's all new material, even that character osha/asha is a added) and at the end.Hmm, well considering George R R Martins obsession with describing things and places as smelling of, well, hmm, man juice I'm glad we have more sexy scenes and less (but not none) scenes of people sitting and talking about said smells.
