    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.

    Other than Darius, that game give R-type Final a run for it's money in the most boring shmup category.........

    On a non retro note, anyone seen the latest episode of Game of Thrones? I can't believe they got "That" scene past the censors ;)

    I downloaded it so not sure if "That" scene was broadcast on TV over here.

    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 :o
    It's as clean as I could make it.

    Never read the books but sex really is all a bit much and adds nothing.

    We have the internet for porn, we don't need it in our TV drama.

    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 :D

    But you are right, even in the last ep there was a sex scene that wasn't in the book.

    There was 2. 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.

    Atlus are shutting down the Demon's Souls US servers next month. One of the cruel albeit inevitable problems with contemporary gaming.

    If anyone hasn't played it online as it's meant to be played, now is the time to get unmercifully broken down and love every minute of it.

    Serious? Is there a reason why they're being shut down so soon? That seems like an awful loss - especially for myself as I played it all offline!

    On a completely unrelated note, The Philippines has a humidity level that makes outside literally feel like you're walking through a sauna. I've been in hot temperatures before but jesus christ, this is on another level. I must look like I'm on the edge of death to the locals. :pac:

    Seems to be as simple as Atlus being unable to maintain the servers anymore, especially when nearly everyone has migrated to Dark Souls.

    Fare thee well, online Demon's Souls, we hardly knew Ye and your complex world tendency features.

    I'm coming around to your house to shove a copy of Chrono Trigger down your throat, the crappy PS1 port as well so you won't even gain a nice version for your pain.

    Dear Square Enix:

    More Einhander, less Kingdom Hearts.


    Actually, Kingdom Hearts.... I've never seen a game series go so downhill in all my life. It started as a bit of fanservice where disney characters and FF charactersd fought together and now has become the most convoluted mess of a story ever with the FF and Disney characters taking a back seat to a bunch of emo's. In fact I'd go so far as the to say that the story in Kingdom Hearts is far and away the worst thing ever written by man, and I'll include erotic fanfiction there as well because KH is basically.

    Still, they're kind of fun in a guilty way even if you end up with a red head forehead from facepalming at the cutscenes.

    Here's the Expedia unit after adding another row of shelves. Bought a smaller expedia unit and gutted it as this avoided a lot of extra woodwork and painting. Added a strip of hardboard to the back of 4x4 addon as well to stop carts falling down the back.
    Baskets across the bottom are great for controllers and power bricks etc..

    Not sure what the fill the 3DO sized hole on the left with yet :)
