    Awesome video however I think it deserves a remix using the DSi Shop music instead as your soundtrack. :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    ...actually use this version instead. :D

    Decided to have a little mess around with Movie Maker and this is the result

    George Lucas eat your heart out:p
    Jaysus , dont talk to me about WMM , it decided to screw up the audio levels for one section of the last video I did , Only noticed it as it was going up on YT ..its less than a minute but it annoys the hell out of me.
    On the plus side I've now reviewed Outrun ports on everything bar the Java phone version .(I'm counting the Saturn version as emulated version of the orginal rather than a port even though it has some extra options bolted on , and 60FPS).Even did a bit of MAME Emulation with a steering wheel setup for the vid .

    Reminds me of one of my favourite epsiodes of Seinfeld. :)

    Well I've been playing Inzuma Eleven allday and dare I say it but the game is good, made by Level 5 and featuring the voices from Professor Layton.
    It's fun and could it be the football equivelant of Custom Robo Arena?

    Handy database of MVS serial numbers so you can track your carts down and help others looking for specific serial numbers or just curious to see who owned it before you.

    Started playing Civ 5 today. Due to my long time allergy to RTS games, I have avoided the series til now.

    But holy crap it's addictive. It was a serious challenge to stop playing. I have a bad feeling about this.

    Meant to have a looksee at that game myself, I was a massive fan of Civ 2. Civ 4 was good but there was room for much improvement.

    I hate Civ 2. Not because it's a bad game. It's because like Gran Turismo it was the only game my brother would play so if I got home from school/college after him I couldn't get the little ****er off the machine.

    What a game though, I remember playing it in a mates house when it was new. Other than DS9: Harbinger (dear god what an introduction to pc's :rolleyes:) it was my first real experience of a pc game. Loved it, & not too long after than came Half Life & from then on I was sold on pc's

    Jesus ! I remember that, I bought it years ago in Game (it came with a ds9 video as well) It was ...er odd.
    Mainly FMV (and I think it was cgi renders of the crew rather than actual film) and made up of a combination of point and click adventure and minigames.It basically played out like a meh episode of the show.I was a big Ds9 fan (still am ) so I actually played through it.I was a sucker for Star trek PC games back then ,Klingon honour guard , DS9 the fallen , Birth of the Federation (great one that)... now I think about it I had Star Trek: The Game Show on PC as well...farking mad.

    I remember having a Star Trek boardgame, with the video in it! The klingon guy Martok was the narator. back when videos where cool.

    Oh I had that too. Was always a treat to get to play it, but the problem was it was so complicated to setup / play / learn the rules for :pac: I remember you had cool little Enterprise badges though. The things that stick out!

    Also anyone ever play this? Nafftastic!

    Yep thats the one. It wasn't that bad once you got into it, & I remember making it far enough into the game before packing it in. I think there was a level where there was an invisible path, & you had to guess where to go but it was huge & deeply frustrating.

    Some Star Trek fan told me it wasn't Martok, but Gowron in that video...

    Exact same premise :D

    I hate boardgames though....boredgames they shoud be called.
