    I only put it online to recieve the 20 year old games that cost me nearly €100 (launch price v new price) :D

    I was keeping it stock in the hopes of any future exploit requiring early firmware etc...ah well. Not that piracy would be a concern for the 3DS anyway...there's fugg all to pirate! :p

    Thanks to EnterNow I managed to fix my DreamCast RGB cable. TBH today was my first REAL contact with DC. Jaysus, I'm loving it ;)
    So colourful schmups. Pity I have to go to work tomorrow.

    Interesting article that. Is it inconceivable to suggest that the 3DS and Vita could end up being flops for various differing reasons? Too pricey, lack of quality titles, smartphone juggernaut has changed the playing field?

    The Dreamcast is epic, totally agree. Glad you got the RGB sorted. Was your original cable the fault?

    yep. composite video was soldered in place where it should be composite sync. Spent 2 days trying to sort that out!

    Hands off Bayonetta fantasies!
    She's mine, or rather I'm forever hers.

    She is a girl who definitely, definitely went to Specsavers!

    What's with that anyways?
    Does everyone involved in demons and the underworld were glasses?
    Make identifying them a lot easier at any rate.
    Dinorex and myself had better watch out for the heavenly armies I reckon!

    I become absurdly frustrated the time a guy from work tried to tell me Bayonetta was just a **** Japanese button basher. Some people just don't get the transcendent joys of that game (easily the best of this console generation). And all this from a guy who frequently claimed Dragon Age Origins was the best game in years.

    Mustn't have played Oblivion or Fallout 3 then, poor backstard.
    You should buy him a copy of Vanquish and enlighten him.
    Or, I find the generous application of a lump hammer to the offenders temples is most effective!

    6 seconds in says it all for me, though maybe 'social-gaming' has just become a buzz word that they're latching onto who knows. The product itself looks very nice, very polished & very Sony...I can still see it wiping the 3DS off the face of the planet.

    My proposed dictionary entry:
    social·gaming

    [sow-shall gay-ming] impersonal pronoun -shovelware
    1. Industry buzzword for video games of no particular interest to anyone other than those with the IQ of a bubble in a malteaser. Compare shovelware ( def. 2 ).
    2. The majority of games for the Nintendo Wii (ref. shovelware).

    Just stumbled upon this from SEGA, I hope a console port is happening!

    Border Break

    Arcade only for now though unless anyone knows some good news about it?

    I vaguely recall playing or at very least watching Border Break in an arcade somewhere. I'm pretty sure I didn't like it - had the same flaws of most contemporary third person arcade games. Over complex controls, ludicrous HUDs etc... I might be getting it mixed up with something else, but I don't remember being enamored with it anyway.

    This arrived today. Limited edition version of Karous for the Dreamcast.

    NTSC-J
    SG-OCD (semi-sealed. the original shrinkwrap is still with it only carefully opened so as to retain it)

    This edition is rare as a raw steak as it comes with a limited edition Karous phonecard (which is still SG-OCD and in a protective sleeve).

    This game has been on my list for a while! :)

    I found Karous to be rubbish to put it kindly. I really hate all of Milestones games.

    Each to their own. I think it's a great game, better than a lot of newer titles on other platforms that came after it. Maybe the Wii version on the Milestone compilation is just not a good one?

    I played the Dreamcast version. Thought it was a terribly derivative bullet hell shooter with nothing to help it stand out and a total lack of any good well designed bullet patterns. With how many quality shooters there are on the dreamcast I'd count it and Milestones previous game Radilgy as two of the worst on the system. It's no Under Defeat that's for sure.

    Yes he was involved with Akai Katana. Such a terrible loss, and so young too.

    Here's a (complete?) discography.

    HAH! Good work, I'd love to get that game. I have Ketsui (and no NTSC-J XBOX 360...yet) but making do with DS Death Label for now.

    Oh and p.s. I got a few more SHMUPS today. I'll post tonight. One of them is a cheeky little scamp by Toaplan. :D

    I'm in the process of getting one (yep, not saying which :pac:). Seeing Espgaluda running on ondafly's cab made my mind up to go the 360 route, that and the original PCBs are silly money.
