    Oh, and in work, this is the closest thing to Atavan we've got...

    Chill out biscuits!


    That's actually hilarious man! haha!

    if Atavan has similar effects then he'd be a good man to party with!

    I'm afraid I can't be swallowed, snorted or injected.

    And I never last long enough to find out if I have calming effects on people. I usually just get drunk.

    These just came through the post...

    I didn't bother trying to pick up official pads as they seem to be going for stupid money on Ebay at the minute. The seller of the Saturn did a partial refund in order to allow me to pick these up, very decent bloke.

    Anyway can't wait to get these home and give Die Hard Arcade a bash.

    You're missing out on not having the official pads. By far and away the best gamepads ever made, unless you get the nasty initial US ones.

    The larger chunky ones are lovely pads

    Official Saturn pads should be available for cheap. Buying them direct from Japanese sellers is usually the cheapest option.

    Hmm, seems they've gone up in price since I bought one a few months ago, mine was only about a tenner.

    I know that I'm missing out but unless they come down in price I'll be staying away for a while.

    At least the third party ones will get me off to a good start.

    I think one of my games I ordered is lost in the post. Got it over two weeks ago and no sign and was bought from the usually excellent Lukie games. Shipped on the 17/5. It also happened to be pretty expensive as well.

    I have a good one for you. Remember the supergun I bought that didn't work properly? I sent it back to France the guy to fix it. That was on the 10th of May - still no sign of it. It left the UK and just vanished.

    Talk about bad luck!

    Yeah I ordered a Sega Megadrive Ultimate Collection limited edition Vinyl Record from Russia this time last month and it still hasn't arrived yet.

    Also because I previously opened a Paypal claim against the guy for the delay in postage I can't open another one... so that's €35 down the pisser.

    ****ing Paypal...

    We'll have to get him a set of high heels, or start extending his femurs by breaking them, parting them by a few mm, letting them set, then breaking them again, might give him a few more inches....
    Good thing he has a great personality.





    And by personality mean giant penis.

    Anybody know how to get Paypal to help me get a refund for the item that never showed up?

    They won't allow me to re-open the dispute (which sucks).

    File a new dispute rather than open an old one. They're limited to 30 days afaik

    I can't file a new dispute against a case that has already had a dispute opened and closed, Paypal themselves have said this to me.

    As an aside does anyone have a Sega Saturn memory card that they'd be willing to get rid of?

    Just replace the battery and buy an action replay 4 in 1. Why you haven't got a 4 in 1 yet boggles the mind.

    Funny you should say that, I ordered a game from lukiegames which was expensive aswell around 35$ and used the budget shipping option. It was shipped a few days after yours and still haven't seen it. Usually games from the US for me anyway arrive in under 8 days including weekends. You used the budget shipping option too?

    Picked up a few bits today.

    7b008cb3.jpg

    GTA 3 as someone stole it on me back in the day, Metroid prime as I lent it out and never got it back and then Warioware as it could be fun for retro nights!

    Also got myself a DS lite as the hinge has gotten worse on the fat DS. Soz sera, I know I said I'd buy yours but this one is mint condition and in the nice black and blue colours.

    Nice DS! I need to get back in to my DS and GBA gaming. My DSi XL and GBA Micro have sat idle for too long!

    Can't beat a bit of GTA III either Mr. Van Halen. What's that Metroid game? I never had a Gamecube and never played Super Metroid on the Super Famicom (one game I must buy, but the PAL big box copies are ridiculously expensive).

    Oh, OK I've heard of it. Never played it. Same with Super Metroid. In fact, any Metroid game to be honest.*

    *Except for a Metroid pinball game I have for the DS which is EXCELLENT.

    Wtf! :eek:

    Not sure I can take anymore of these shocking retro revelations! retr0 not having owned a NES all these years, o1s1n never having owned a GC, EnterNow having a stock MD (!), atavan having a giant c0ck (according to Ciderman) and now somebody saying they haven't played Super Metroid. Really am surprised the Internet hasn't exploded. :pac:
