Finally got my hands on Deathsmiles! I wonder could I hack open one of the 360 kiosks in work and throw it on

Tell your boss you want to jtag the kiosk unit, use it to host a hacked MW2 lobby & then play some Deathsmiles on it via DVD+R DL because you also want to flash the dvd drive firmware :pac:

You may as well ask a fireman to start a small fire in the middle of the firestation

Indeed, be fun to see his expression. Though it's more than likely "wtf is a jtag o1s1n?" :rolleyes::p

I walked by the xbox team the other day and saw your picture on the wall. Underneath it all it said was 'the jtagger'. I think you may be wanted.

Mainly just big franchises like Halo and GOW. Although I've seen a few football games, once they had Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe for a while.

They really need to rotate the games more than they do. Plus I find it really odd to see things like Halo & GOW in a work enviornment. Violence and guns..seems a bit innapropriate. Or maybe I'm just getting old

I can just picture one of your colleagues (quiet, keeps to himself type) having a go of Halo using a headset and suddenly starts shouting abuse at some American kid on the other end. "BOOM! HEADSHOT!! Take THAT madda fakka!!"

The whole office looks up... :eek:

There's a guy in here like Milton from Office Space and he was telling me about how he plays COD all the time. Was really getting into it too. 'you can feel every bullet hitting you..EVERY BULLET!!!'.

I never borrowed his stapler.

I'm really looking forward to this now. Might see if I can pick up a 360 stick on the way home too.

CiDeRmAn · 23-03-2011 10:03pm

I want that game but Gamestop have never heard of it, no sign of it in HMV in the Pav and neither Smyths or Xtra have seen it either, need help!
Where in north co dublin can I find Deathsmiles???

o1s1n · 24-03-2011 12:26am

Just spent the whole night playing Deathsmiles. What a game! In the beginning I was playing on level 1 difficulty for each stage, but to be honest it's a bit too easy.

So level three difficulty all the way. Also trying to figure out point scoring.

That black label version where enemies leave suicide bullets is a hell of a lot of fun.

Anyway, if I thought I may need an arcade stick before, I DEFINITELY need one now. It's better than I thought it would be with a pad..but it's still not the full experience.

Great game isn't it!
I love playing it regardless of scoring or anything. It's just plain fun and a great departure from the full blown explosion ridden, story driven games we're used to this generation

o1s1n · 24-03-2011 12:34am

It's a king of 'just one more go'. There's something very satisfying about navigating a hail of pink bullets. So much so that you almost forget you even have bombs

Game and HMV have stocked it but there's no point in asking the staff, I bought it in Game and my friend tried to buy it but they hadn't a clue what he was on about even though I had bought it there earlier that day in the same shop.
I know Game in Tallaght still have at least 1 copy because I saw it there earlier today.

Well the bombs are for noobs I never use them anymore as it's much more satisfying to navigate through the "hell":D

Speaking of bullet hell, anyone here played the Gundemonium Collection on the PSN? A set of 3 shooters, think I remember talking to johnny_ultimate about it. Hitogata Happa makes my eyes bleed.

Not a major fan of them myself only because I don't have the skills or perseverance to get anywhere in them - seems like you need to get into a zen like state to avoid the bullets.

But it reminded me, Retrocollect.com mentioned a new bullet hell shooter coming out on PC at the end of the year (doesn't mention Mac unfortunately johnny_ultimate). Called Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony, it's set in the 17th century, 4 player co-op too apparently. Some of yee folks might be interested in it, visuals look gorgeous.

Haitogata Happa makes me want to destroy everyone involved in making the dam thing :pac: Other two are good fun if ludicrously hard. But Happa is the most extreme shooter I've ever played. Can't even get past the first boss!

Yeah saw that the other day, looks pretty fantastic!

I just spent a few hours in a DeathSmiles MBL v1.1 trance. Now that's a ****ing score attack. Multiplier steadily climbing to 100,000, your high score hitting ten or eleven zeroes easily. Unfortunately you need to use a normal pad to play it properly (mapping your familiar to the right stick is a necessity) meaning your movement suffers a bit compared to a stick but it's sublime stuff altogether. Eyes are very much bleeding

o1s1n · 24-03-2011 11:24pm

Today I went to Gamestop in Stephens Green Shopping centre, that 3D games on Grafton street, HMV Grafton street and then GAME on Dawson street looking for a 360 arcade stick to play Deathsmiles this evening - none anywhere!

If anyone sees any about, give me a shout. I'm dying to play it properly.

Gamestop Tallaght had some for XBOX on Tuesday, think they were bundled with Marval -V- Capcom 3 though
