    That moody bassline would make me even more angry,
    or put me in an introverted dark place where I'm postponing my RAGGGGEEEEE!

    Try this for some calm:

    Well not games related but certainly retro

    I'm starting to get into some trading cards and I found a load of unopened packs of dinosaurs attack on ebay for $14 so i picked them up. And they are amazing! Plus each packet came with a stick of gum, which I tried and it just turns to dust in your mouth!

    Heres some pics

    Rescued a small haul from a skip today which I was passing by chance..
    They're all soaked wet so they'll need a few days to dry before I can turn them on.
    The oldest one (which is also the largest one) is from 1978, the rest are from 85-85 (the DEC servers and the Amstrad, which I've no PSU for)

    For those who need to chill the frak out, and in honour of the wonderful weather we've been having, have a nice big slice of this...


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,994 ✭✭✭Doge


    I've just had a nice slice of a power cut this evening upto 10 mins ago......

    Was in the middle of a game of Parallel lines and all.

    Electricity?

    You'd be lost without it.

    Only the one thing arrived today. Not going to buy anything for the next few weeks since I'm off to NYC at the start of June and meeting up with someone from Hardcore Gaming 101 who is giving me a tour of the best places to spend all my money.

    Anyway I got Glass Rose for the PS2. It's a PAL exclusive in english and an adventure game. I'm pretty sure I heard on WAHP that SWERY of Deadly Premonition fame worked on the game and that Cing were involved, the same team behind Hotel Dusk and Another Code. Anyway it seems to be really rare but reasonably priced and supposedly quite good, Consolevania gave it a glowing review.

    This just arrived this morning. A mate of mine has yet to give me his spare Dreamcast Keyboard though so I won't be playing it any time soon. Picked it up brand new and sealed for a reasonable enough price on Ebay.

    I don't really want to break the seal but at the same time I also want to play it.

    I must pick it up myself. I have a DC keyboard and nothing to use it with and really must learn to type.

    They're actually going cheap enough on Ebay for sealed copies.

    Trying to pick up some more US/Japanese exclusives now that I have the Link83 region free BIOS flashed to my Dreamcast.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,211 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    I managed to pick up one of these today.

    The best thing about this deal? Did it cost me the going rate of £150 - £200?
    Nah... I got it for free.

    Delighted with myself. :-)

    ...Please give details how. Trying to understand the workarounds involving dial tone generators makes my eyes feel like they're bleeding.

    And needless to say, congrats.

    Pardon my ignorance but was it is exactly? I think he means he is jealous hence the jelly! I'd guess its a PI with a shield on it

    Jaysus! Considering the PS2 Network adaptor offers so much more functionality, and is only about €30, that's a big price to pay!

    Well the Dreamcast broadband adapter was only released in small quantaties, only a few thousand were produced and sold through Sega of America and Sega Japan's website, they were never available in stores.
